Post Pill Party - The Ceilidh

@FlyingGiraffe I’m always really thirsty after any kind takeaway must be all the salt in them.

I’m super tempted to go with the FF premium, do the ladies that have it thinks it’s worth it? I had the free trial without even realising and now its just gone back to the basic version there’s not much on there

@ChinChilly 😂 I do that even without the weird dreams! 😂 hope you sleep better tonight. I blame the Chinese takeaway last night for being up in the night. I was so thirsty after it I drank loads of water!

@Flowers222 sounds like a lovely valentine's day! Good you've covered yourself with all the BD before ov.

@Nellieee how are you doing? Any sign of AF for you?

@Flowers222 I don’t think I’ve ovulated yet to be honest, OPKs have been super faint. I kind of hope I haven’t as haven’t really DTD that much up to ovulation 🤔 it sounds like you’ve definitely covered yourself

Happy Valentine's Day ladies ❤️ DH got me a cute card even though we said we weren't going to. Got some steaks for later and will watch a film tonight. Temp rise today as well so looks like I've ovulated cd30! No V-day bonking for us today, too exhausted from the lead up to O 😂

@Kay00 those pancakes are looking good!

@Moocher90 sorry about the bleeding and how frustrating about the GP! Hopefully they will process your bloods and they can do something about it if there is a thyroid issue.

@MissC07 hope you are not feeling too hungover today! No chance would I be able to drink a whole bottle of wine these days!

@ChinChilly hopefully it's just the bad night then and your temps will continue to rise tomorrow!

@MissC07 I wouldn’t of even got to the end of the bottle 😂

@FlyingGiraffe temp went down! But I had a terrible night sleep, kept having wierd dreams including one of me chasing someone who stole my car 😂😂 was curtain twitching at 3am to see if it was still there 😂😂

@MissC07 Just saw your message above! Oh lord! I think i'd be the same these days if I had a bottle of wine! Hope you're not feeling too hungover today!!

How's everyone's Valentine's Day going? We don't really do much, but I did get a rather inappropriate card from DH with a hilarious quote from The Inbetweeners on it!

@ChinChilly Glad you've made up and the v-day bonk is still a go! Did you temp this morning? Did it go up or down? Mine went down again, but I was up in the night and had been up only an hour and a half before taking my temp.

@Kay00 Lovely looking pancakes! How long are you trying the Fodmap diet for?

@Moocher90 Sorry the GP wasn't very understanding. And that you're spotting still Our bodies are so complicated and confusing. Hopefully it's ovulation spotting and stops soon. Enjoy that delicious sounding roast lamb later!

@Robyn101 Hope that FF is right! 41 days is a huge improvement from 137! Hope you're having a nice birthday weekend!

@Juno231 Are you just spotting a little bit then? This is good news for next cycle if so! What's your bbt doing now?

@Sperr a 14 day LP is the dream!! Not sure vit b complex is even needed in your case! I started taking it this month and was debating a break like @kay00 tried...I'm on CD9 today and still not sure what to do! My LP is anything from 6 to 11 days (just the once though for the 11!) Last month I started spotting 2dpo but then did actually have a positive test so I'm just discarding that one as a weird anomaly!

@MissC07 How are you doing? Did AF rear her ugly face? xx

Happy V Day ladies ❤️ 14dpo for me and had the tiniest bit of spotting yesterday lunchtime but nothing since. I was feeling fed up so I thought I'd have a drink last night, ended up having a bottle of wine and had my head down the toilet at 10pm 😂 probably because I did dry Jan and hadn't had a drink in 43 days!
No sign of AF yet although feeling a little crampy on and off today so I'm sure she'll be here soon. I also didn't temp today due to drinking last night but willl see what it's saying tomorrow. Hope you are all doing ok x

@Moocher90 Yeah, it’s a local one near me. I haven’t booked in, I was going to try my NHS GP first and the GP i spoke to the was pretty good but I’m not getting my bloods done until 24/02. If this doesn’t go well and they’re still saying its ‘normal’ I might book in with the private clinic.

Had*

@ChinChilly is this a private clinic?! Have you have your results?!

@Kay00 @Cams50 thanks both, arguement has been squashed so vday bonk is back on the cards luckily my OPKS are still pretty low so hopefully still got time

@Kay00 Pancaks look so good!

@Moocher90 sorry your out of hours GP was abit rubbish! I think there is so much red tape in the NHS. I found a local clinic to me that did a full thyrpid panel for £50 but I think it was a further £70 to have a appointment with the consultant about the results.

CD14 for me today and I’m bleeding. It’s there when I wipe and it’s not much but it’s on the towel I put on this morning. It’s not like the spotting I described yesterday. This happened to me the cycle before last which was CD16 :/ I’m seriously annoyed now!

The out of hours GP was not the most understanding. I told him of my private test and elevated tsh since my nhs test and antibodies being high and all he kept saying is antibodies can be raised but might not be hypo. I said well I need another test to rule this out as I am TTC and not ovulating. He said he can send me for a test for a full thyroid panel but the lab may not process it because it’s under 3 months since my last blood test for thyroid. On March 12th it will be 3 months. Like what the actual f*. I’m suffering with half of the hypo symptoms and I’m having irregular periods and not ovulating.

I’m going to go and have blood drawn on Tuesday and see if they get processed. I’m speaking to an endo on 24th Feb so if they don’t process them I would imagine they will need bloods to decide the next course of action.

Cooking a lamb roast today. So glad we had the v day bonk yesterday 😂

I’m no BBT expert @Ttcin2021 but that line is the coverline. Temps tend to be over it after ovulation and trend back below it as period approaches

Morning all!
I am looking for more bbt advice...... what is this line that goes across at 36.43? Is this what you refer to as cover line? Is it temps above that after ovulation and more likely pregnant and goes below before period?! Sorry.... so clueless!!

Happy Valentines Day ladies xx I made a special breakfast of Fodmap friendly pancakes 🥞 😋

@sperr to elongate my LP i started by taking the B-Complex days 0-10, then a break to allow ovulation (not needed... Juno doesn't do this) then B-Complex from Ov onwards. This worked wonders and my LP extended from 9 day on average to 14 days on average!

I now take mine all the way through the month as the first month I tried leaving it out days 1-10 I didn't ovulate at all!! However, I now don't think that was caused by missing the B-Complex in my FP... I think my body is just broken.

So in answer, you could try either, all the wag through or just after Ov xx good luck!

Thanks @kay00 I’ve not caught anything with OPKs this time around so we’ll see

@juno231 ohh interesting, this is the first time I’m logging CM so maybe I haven’t got the hang of it yet? Or maybe I tried to ovulate and didn’t quite. Had a temp drop today but still above coverline just... it’s moved O back a day so would make me 5DPO (I think)

You’re not out until AF but definitely good news about a longer LP!

@cams50 Haha yep 137 days for my last one so shaved a lot off time off if I have ovulated 😂 just a nice 41 day cycle if FF is correct

BFN from me this morning! I knew it as I have literally no symptoms. I have got 2 more days until AF though- but it’s looking like I have a 14 day LP 🎉. Temp still quite high so will be interesting to see when that drops since this my first month temping. Cervix is still closed but that normally only opens the day before AF for me so that will be tomorrow

I might take vitamin b complex next cycle- do you take this from day 1 or just after ovulation?

@Juno231 that’s great! Have you tested again? Just in case!

@Juno231 @FlyingGiraffe @Flowers222 @ChinChilly I know it’s very frustrating. I appreciate things are so difficult with covid but didn’t think a sneaky semen production car pit stop would be one of the consequences 😂

@FlyingGiraffe thanks yes my temps did go up so I think I’m 5dpo so that’s good. I’m hoping you ovulate this week! Glad your body is returning to normal x

@ChinChilly sorry about the argument 😞

@Robyn101 happy birthday!! And that’s great you’ve ovulated! I’m sure the dotted cross hairs are to do with the negative OPK. That’s so much earlier than your last cycle!

@Robyn101 I'm 99% it's done that because you've carried on logging fertile mucus after OD. It should dry up straight after ovulation really so it's throwing FF off a bit.

@Kay00 ha I'm still dreading a summer baby 😅. I always wanted a september /October baby so I'm annoyed this is the second year I've missed my shot on that!

No AF yet girls which makes me happy as it buys me a little bit of extra time around the hsg for dtd 👏. Ie if I have it on CD13 instead of CD14 I can still catch ovulation!

@robyn101 I'd say that's looking good for ovulation! Well done! I think FF gives dotted crosshairs on long cycles where there is a temp rise but no +OPK... from experience 😊

Congratulations on everyone who ovulated in the last few days!

@juno231 this is my greatest fear with the NHS... it makes no logical sense! Well done for navigating it and getting through to the right person 👏

I really disliked the idea of having a Christmas baby when I first started this process (I was hoping for a summer baby 🙄) but now I really would be quite happy... but suspect its unlikely anyway.

@chinchilly hope you're not too upset tonight xx

Weirdly uploaded super fuzzy so trying again

I decided to go for it and get premium FF too - good use of birthday pennies 😂

FF thinks I’ve ovulated but doesn’t seem sure any thoughts on why it wouldn’t be sure? Is it that I logged a negative OPK?
