As the Post Pill Party Mosh Pit dies down... sweaty and bewildered, the ladies head to the bar to freshen up. Suddenly, a fiddler bursts onto the stage, beginning a merry tune. Everybody swings into an energetic Ceilidh!

Our heads are spinning, our bodies are knackered but we arent giving up dancing when the music is this catchy!

This is the 8th post pill party thread for women whose bodies don't know the correct dance steps after hormonal contraception. Raise a dram to combating delayed ovulation, flabberghasting follicular phases, loopy luteal phases, bizzare temp charts and OPKs whiter than a Scotsman's bum!

@flowers222 yeah the NHS app was great - I had it at my previous GP before the move in Oct. The new GP only has patient access and it's rubbish - it shows what tests have been run but none of the results??

Flowers222 · 18/02/2021 12:39

@Juno231 I access all my test results through the NHS app. Maybe try that to see if you can see your medical record and your test results. Just need to have photo ID the first time to set it up.

@Sperr I am amazed you haven't tested yet! I would have run out to buy a test days ago!

@ChinChilly really glad it looks like something is finally happening!

Robyn101 · 18/02/2021 12:14

@sperr eeeek it’s sounding so promising and how cute is your OH!

@flyinggiraffe @cams50 I know so annoying, I’m CD40 at the minute I feel bad complaining when the last one got to CD137 but I was so hoping things would settle down a bit better than this. I’m really confused though my RHR is climbing like I’ve ovulated (chart attached) but FF says no 🤦🏻‍♀️

@chinchilly haha I told you so! I’m onboard with being a drama Queen

@juno231 hopefully you’ll find out results way before July somehow, I second trying to ring phlebotomy direct

@Juno231 that’s so funny! OH’s best friend is having a girl due in April so I don’t think it would be the end of the world for him 😂. Every single person in his family have had a boy and then a girl so I think he thinks that will happen for hun

Juno231 · 18/02/2021 11:29

@sperr haha I hope you have a girl now! My OH is ex army and aaaaalll of the officers from his mess have had girls. Not a single boy. Apparently it's known as the soldiers curse lol

@cams50 good shout! I'd definitely demand to see the results though after all the crap I've seen on MN ha

Cams50 · 18/02/2021 11:22

@Juno231 is there a phlebotomy reception or something? You might be able to ring there. They’ll probably say everything is normal of course. But you could ask for the numbers from them I’d say?

Sperr · 18/02/2021 11:21

@Cams50 @Juno231 it’s cute in theory... my OH is a competitive boxer (I should say was. He’s too old for that now 😂) and he absolutely loves Tyson fury so he bought a “gypsy king” baby grow. I said what if we have a girl and he was like but we won’t 🤣😂

Juno231 · 18/02/2021 11:12

@cams50 not my GP as it's a hospital referred blood test so I think the GP is completely cut out of the loop now. It does beg the question how I'll find out my results though (ie do I have to wait until July?)

Cams50 · 18/02/2021 11:09

@Juno231 oh wow that’s great about the bloods! Maybe that’ll flag your TSH levels. Who gives you the results for that? GP or specialist?

Juno231 · 18/02/2021 11:08

@sperr omg the baby grow! I would melt if OH did that. Show us a pic!

TheDaydreamBelievers · 18/02/2021 10:36

@ChinChilly You drama queen Wink

Hope those temps shoot up!

ChinChilly · 18/02/2021 10:24

@Juno231 that is exactly how I have behaved this time! 😂😂 I’ve said I’m not buying any more OPK’s but ask me again in around 2 weeks!

Great you got your bloods done, wonder what else they will be testing for

Juno231 · 18/02/2021 09:57

@ChinChilly YAS! Finally something! And don't worry - my cycles are shorter than yours but I've def kicked up a fuss before anyway! My favourite is Feb last year where I stopped testing with OPKs on CD15 cause I was convinced I'd missed it/it wasn't happening... wtf.

@sperr def a FRER from town if it doesn't arrive!

@cams50 I really hope you're right that they bring it forward!

Just been to the hospital this morning for my blood tests as it's CD3. They took four vials so I reckon there must be more than just my day 3 test they're doing lol. Glad to have that done and dusted though.

Cams50 · 18/02/2021 09:35

@ChinChilly haha aw that’s great news!!

@Sperr gah it’s such a long wait! Got everything crossed for you! Aw that’s sweet of him.

ChinChilly · 18/02/2021 09:17

Ok, drama over! Something is starting to happen! I will not have anyone say I’m a drama queen 😂😂

Oh and p.s OH has bought a baby grow 😳. I thought it would be me that would do something crazy like that 🤣🤣🤣

Sperr · 18/02/2021 09:09

@FlyingGiraffe now they are saying arriving on Monday 🙃. Never online shop in a rush!! If they don’t come by Saturday I’ll just buy a FRER in town!

@Cams50 I know! I’m actually praying that they don’t. Well now that I know that your LP can technically be 17 days if AF hasn’t come by Saturday I’m safe 😂. It’s my first month temping so I’m not 100% sure how long my others were but I think my longest was only 14!

ChinChilly · 18/02/2021 08:51

@Robyn101 @FlyingGiraffe @Cams50 I’ll see what happens over the next few days but I’m not holding me breath, I’ve only got 3 OPKs left 🙄 why doesn’t my body work 😂

Cams50 · 18/02/2021 08:28

@Sperr it’s sounding so promising for you this month. I hope your tests arrive soon!! The suspense is killing me lol. So awkward if they arrived to your old job 😂

Cams50 · 18/02/2021 08:27

@Juno231 ugh that’s such a long wait. But hopefully it gets brought forward like your first one! And better still - bfp arrives first! Hopefully the HSG helps with that.

@ChinChilly I wouldn’t worry as I’ve ovulated anywhere from CD16-23 so hopefully it’ll happen soon. Your temps are so consistent which is great. Mine couldn’t be rockier- I’m definitely a mouth breather and light sleeper!

@FlyingGiraffe yay for your flashy smiley!

@Robyn101 so annoying it’s removed your crosshairs 😞 but at least that means you’re potentially in a with another chance this month I guess!

@minipilling hopefully they’re all signs of a bfp!

@firsttimemummy321 have you tested again this morning?

FlyingGiraffe · 18/02/2021 08:20

@Sperr Are they definitely arriving today? That could've been awkward if they'd arrived at your old workplace! Haha! I really hope this is your month! It's sounding promising!

@Robyn101 Oh no!! That's so annoying!

@ChinChilly You might just have a little bit later O this month...your temps are nice and consistently low. Things like being ill, stress etc can push it back a little bit. I wouldn't give up hope yet!

Sperr · 18/02/2021 08:08

16dpo here! Temp. Rise again 🤞. Patiently waiting for my ICs to arrive . I actually accidentally ordered them to the wrong address but luckily I noticed straight away and changed it because I’d sent them to my old job 🤣🤣🤣.

Robyn101 · 18/02/2021 08:06

@FlyingGiraffe temp went down again this morning and now FF has removed the crosshairs 😂 so I guess it’s back to DTD and checking CM and OPKs. So frustrating. Your O sounds like it’s around the corner which is great get DTD!

@Juno231 wow that seems a long time for an appt I’m sorry that really sucks

@ChinChilly thats some consistent lows though so fingers crossed a nice high temp is tomorrow

ChinChilly · 18/02/2021 07:57

@minipilling sorry you’re feeling rubbish...hope you feel better soon!

@FlyingGiraffe Ooo, ovulation must be just round the corner for you

No temp rise here 🙄 the latest I’ve ovulated it CD17, I had some pinching and twinges yesterday which I thought might be ovulation pain but obvs not as my temp went down slightly again, got a feeling this might be an anovulatory cycle.
