Post Pill Party - The Ceilidh

@Kay00 thanks! I know. I think I need to have had my period for a week before the hope fades 😂 Eek they’re really promising signs! I really hope this is your ovulation. This is still within your timeframe for ovulation in the past isn’t it.

@Sperr are you going to get a FRER today? How far are you from the nearest pharmacy? You must be 17DPO now?

@Cams50 Bah! Annoying! You're not out yet my lovely... we live in hope!!

@LauraT94 not a lot happening here... thanks for asking. Chart attached. The only thing giving my a glimmer of home is my cervix has been SHOW the last few days and I have been very wet... and my sex drive has been on the up (which is nice haha)! But, I suspect it will just fizzle out.

@FlyingGiraffe aw thanks so much! You’re absolutely right. I need to be grateful for the longer lp. Just so hard not to get your hopes up for a bfp!! But on the plus side those b vits must have helped so hope they do for you too. Thanks @Kay00 for the recommendation!

@LauraT94 and @ChinChilly thanks! It’s probably not my month but have to be happier with the lp so far. I’ve probably jinxed myself now and will get AF today 🤣 hopefully not. @ChinChilly yay for the temp rise! I didn’t think 34.11 was possible so your later one sounds more accurate 😂 @LauraT94 eek I wonder if it is ovulation for you! If not it’s great your body is getting more back into the lh surges etc.

@Sperr I think that is promising if you normally get more PMS symptoms! I’m hoping your tests arrive soon!

@LauraT94 OMG the whole pod in the curry has got me a few times, i hate that! I guess I’m potentially in the TWW will see if FF confirms it in the next couple of days

@Juno231 not a lot to report weirdly! Normally I have a million pre AF symptoms (I’ve seriously had everything including nausea!!) and I have nothing really! The only things I would say I have is I’m really tired (but I have had a really long week at work so it could be that) and I’m so hungry! I had some biscoff toast after dinner yesterday which is so not like me (I also think I’m addicted to it now 😂). I had cramps from 12dpo for a few days but they have stopped now! I have been having really weird dreams as well but I’ve also had that pre AF as well!

Temp was pretty much the same today (still high) but I was sleeping with my mouth open! I feel really warm as well. I actually didn’t even put a thick coat on today to go to work and where I live is like the windiest place ever 😂

@Juno231 that pic is definitely me 🤣
@Cams50 fingers crossed for a BFP!!

My temp finally moved!! When I first woke up my temp showed 34.11 🤣 closed my trap for a couple mins and tried again and it came back with a more normal figure

Sorry I've been quiet for a few days, just wasn't much to report!

Woken up with a big temp dip this morning, watery cm and a sky high sex drive 🤔 I'd love to say that I could be in for a super early ovulation (for me) but I think it must just be an LH surge! Will test later today and see where I'm at.

@Cams50 I'm so excited for you with the longer LP! As @FlyingGiraffe says, even if not a BFP (which it totally still could be!) it's still a great sign ❤️

@Juno231 haha that meme is me all the month, all the time 😂 my appetite plummeted and I could barely eat when I was pregnant so at least I know I'll lose a few lbs in those first weeks anyway! Also, I'll admit that while I don't hate it, cardamom isn't my favourite spice 😩 too many traumatic experiences as a kid of eating a curry and biting into a whole pod you weren't expecting!!

@Kay00 I'm hoping something's finally happening for you!

@ChinChilly 🥳🥳🥳 for the opk.. Are you potentially in the TWW now?

@Cams50 I know how devastating a short LP is each month, so for you to get to double figures, I'm over the moon for you! My fingers are still crossed it's a BFP, but in the meantime, yay for a longer LP!

@Juno231 That is so me when AF arrives. Surrounded by cakes and chocolate. Although last month with my chemical, I stupidly thought going for a run and skipping would encourage AF to properly begin. Now I know it wasn't AF, it's made me conscious not to start exercising like a crazy lady in the TWW! Soooo...more cake and chocolate it is then!

@Juno231 haha 😂 every time I get AF I eat everything and treat myself to a good few glasses of wine which doesn’t help any getting fit plans!

I’m 10DPO today and did a test this morning but bfn of course. I was just super hopeful because as you all know I normally start spotting earlier than this and this is the best chart I’ve ever had temp wise - like no dips etc. But I’ve no symptoms or anything. I’m torn between trying to stay hopeful- still early days, I did go to the toilet in the night so wasn’t really a great hold for fmu etc. To get real!! It won’t happen 😅 I suppose the fact that it’s a slightly better lp so far is a huge positive for me so must try to see it that way. But I’d prefer a bfp of course 😂

@Sperr any symptom updates? 😁

We've gone quiet in here lately ladies!

Btw I found this post (see pic) on reddit and felt personally attacked.

@juno231 I think that's a just reason to end any relationship 😆

@Kay00 I have a friend who hates cardamom and sometimes I think about how I shouldn't be friends with her anymore 😂

@Juno231 @Kay00 on a mission to find a cardamom bun or cake!

@sperr we'll be excited for you in the meantime

@Juno231 @ChinChilly Mmmm... Cardamon is one of my favourites, I particularly love cardamon and rose cake I even have a jo malone scent with cardamon in ... I love it!!

@kay00 @Flowers222 thank you! After my last cycle I think I’ve lost my ability to be excited about AF being late 😂. I mean I wasn’t temping back then so I was just going on cycle length so at least now I know I’m not being crazy if I got excited but I just can’t bring myself to have disappointed again!

On Saturday I will allow myself to get excited.

@Juno231 he came home with a box of the cinnabuns with gloop and the crinnamons, the crinnamons were 100% the best! M&S are doing a new range of cronuts!

@ChinChilly crinnamons?! okay that sounds amazing. I've never managed to score any cronuts either which annoys me as it sounds right up my street.

@Kay00 oh god I forgot about your fodmap diet I feel bad now! Sorry!

@Juno231 I get what you mean about the gloop! The crinnamons (cinnabum crossed with a crossaint) was my fave! Oooo I’ve never a tried a cardamom bun!

All these china buns lol!

As a swede I must say I prefer my cinnamon buns without the gloop up top! But ideally, I'd like a cardamom bun over a cinnamon one any day of the week. YUM.

@ChinChilly thanks. My cervix is still SHOW so I have some hope...!

And I would literally murder a China bun right now... haha, my GF crumpets for lunch didn't quite cut it!

@Juno231 hopefully it works going forward, my previous test results are all on there but I’ve been at the same surgery since i was born so that’s probs why!

@Kay00 keeping everything crossed something happens for you soon! It’s so bloody frustrating!

The cinnabuns tasted as good as they looked! OH brought them back just as I’d finished an assignment so it was perfect timing and they were still warm 🤤

Mmm @ChinChilly those Chinna buns look damn good!!

@Sperr Eek!! Oh my! I have everything crossed for you! (apart from my legs of course )

@chinchilly i'm super glad to see you got your +OPK... yey!! I'm only a little bit jealous hehe!

My cervix was really high and soft and open last night... and my boobs were tingling... so I jumped on my OH! but my temps and OPKs are still flat. Damn!

@ChinChilly hm i did wonder if it just struggled with past tests but will be fine going forward. Let's hope so! I'll have a look at the cinnabuns now!

@Robyn101 I’d like to say TTC has turned me into a drama queen, but I was already this way!

@Flowers222 thank you 😘

@Juno231 my GP uses patient access but it does allow me to see the results 🤔

OH just came home with the most amazing cinna-buns from a local baker, anyone who has instagram check her out her instagram name is cinnabox_ she does postal orders too 🤤

@Juno231 oh that is absolutely rubbish!
