Post Pill Party - The Ceilidh

@Juno231 That's rubbish!!

@minipilling Hope you're feeling a little bit better this morning.

@Robyn101 What did your temp do this morning?

I got a flashing smiley on the CB advanced digital this morning on CD13 so I'm happy something might be happening!

*didn't eat much!

Will be 9dpo today/tomorrow (Thurs). Feel really queasy and gassy tonight, I have ibs/endo so it happens a lot but usually not this bad at this point in the cycle. Just feel woozy and have some mild cramping. Didn't each much this evening and sat down with a cup of tea before but could only stomach half! It's probably just my endometriosis though!

@FlyingGiraffe yeah I think I’ll do the BBT just for info but I’m not gonna do the OPKs after I’ve used the few I’ve got left...all feels pointless!

@Juno231 8th of July????? WTF! Ffs they make you wait a year before the GP will do anything then the appointments take that long 😤

@chinchilly I get it, I keep thinking what's the point and why do I bother.

Especially when... I got a letter today for my follow up appointment and it's for the 8th of July 😭

Chart for the laugh. Zero consistency anywhere but deffo trending downwards

I’ve got temps all over the place and still a tentative confirmation of O 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

I’ve ordered grapefruit juice on my new asda shop in prep for AF because I’m convinced she must be on her way and because you ladies are enablers 😂😂

@firsttimemummy321 eeeek keeping an eye on this got everything crossed things are a bit clearer for you tomorrow

@ChinChilly Sorry you're feeling so drained. It really is tough each month going through the same hopes and disappointment...especially when you know something is possibly not right like your TSH. Maybe just aim at DTD every other day from day 8 of your cycle and skip the opk testing.

@Nellieee Ah bummer! Well on the bright side, a 12 day LP is really good. I think if you've done a couple of months charting and opks and your cycles are regular then maybe going old school is the way to try?! My GP recommended just BD 2-3 times a week.

@Gracie2021 That little chart is helpful on FF! Have you ovulated around the same time each month?

@Juno231 Gosh, that's scary that the IVF specialist felt that it was so important and then the GP's just don't seem to want to know! I wish GP's had a bit more training on this stuff.

CD12 today and no sign of O. I've been using the CB advanced digital ovulation tests again and i'm on day 3 of blank faces! Really hoping I get the flashing smiley face tomorrow! I had smileys from cd11 last month and peak on day 15 so fingers crossed it isn't far away.

@firsttimemummy321 I can see the line on the CB fingers crossed.

@Juno231 that’s interesting/scary about the TSH so frustrating that GPs don’t do more about it.

I feel really drained by TTC (probs lockdown life too) I’m really starting to feel like I can’t be bothered with it. I’m not buying any more OPKs after this lot are gone. I tried to subscribe to the FF premium and the payment didn’t work for some reason (just been paid so there was moolars in my account) so I’m taking it as a sign. I’ve got my blood test next week so I suppose we’ll just go from there. I think it’s mainly because I know it’s not going to happy while my TSH is so high so it kind of feels like what’s the point?

@MissC07 so sorry to hear your job is being rubbish... I know whats its like to work in a male dominated workplace... they gang up and its like being in an old boys club... horrible! I got right out of there! I'm really happy where I am now, its a big company but they seem to be really relaxed with their staff management.

@Juno231 A fertility seminar in work?! Wow, you workplace seems really progressive! Also, that's very interesting what the fertility expert said about TSH.

@firsttimemummy321 oh how exciting! I can see lines on the IC and the CB!!

@Juno231 that’s crazy! So frustrating the specialist didn’t give you more time or that GPs don’t know more about this. I do wonder if going private would mean they’d look into things more, treat things quicker etc. It seems so common to have raised TSH though so I wonder if that’s worst case scenario she’s talking about.

@firsttimemummy321 it does look like some colour on those tests! Are you going to test again tomorrow? 🤞🤞🤞

@firsttimemummy321 eek def something going on there! I hope tomorrow's lines are clearer xx

@Gracie2021 i never seem to able to find that screen unless I'm in my TWW? Super handy though isn't it!

Today I attended a fertility seminar at work and during the Q&A I asked about TSH. The IVF specialist said it was "critical" TSH is under 2.5 and that it not only lowers fertility but if I do manage to get pregnant my babies will be at risk of learning disabilities because of it. Shame my fertility doc didn't let me say anything about it and didn't have my results at hand for the call!

@firsttimemummy321 I can a line in the CB test too! Eek very exciting.

Planning the assault for this month and think our problem is just not enough coverage of fertile days and maybe stopping too soon. I blame last months stupid cysts (still have them even now) so think just have to power through if it's still there this month 🙈 this little screen is actually handy on FF.

Looking at this, we were def starting too early in the first few cycles and knackered by the time O hit. Then had really bad timing in Nov in the middle of overtime for the OH.

You'll need some good Netflix to while away the hours this evening!!!! I'll be glued to the chats tomorrow to see 🤞

@Gracie2021 thank you I'm confused as thought frer was the most sensitive so not sure what to make of it, Tomorrow seems so far away 😂

@Gracie2021 thank you I'm confused as thought frer was the most sensitive so not sure what to make of it, Tomorrow seems so far away 😂

@firsttimemummy321 just seeing the CB pic now. Can see a very faint something. Sending you all the positivity for tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Feel like theres definitely some BFP magic needed this month!!! All the good vibes!!

Uploaded the wrong pic can't really see it on this one 🤦🏻‍♀️

@firsttimemummy321 I see something on the internet strip but don't think so on the FR I'm afraid. However it's so exciting and great to have symptoms. Fingers crossed for a more definite answer for you tomorrow.

@Cams50 thank you 🤞🏻
I'm not sure I had a chemical at the end of December and not bled since.

This is the cb early detection

@firsttimemummy321 I think I can see a line in the IC! Eek exciting. How many dpo are you?

@Nellieee I don't think you are tbh I got super obsessed trying for our first but I liked knowing what was going on 🙈 do what makes you feel comfortable :)

@Nellieee 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Here it is, I'm sure there's a super faint shadow but can't even tell if there's colour if there even is anything 🤦🏻‍♀️ but also got a super faint positive on a clear blue early result but in wary of blue dye tests
