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!

@TheDaydreamBelievers we don’t argue very often but he pee’d me off yesterday and managed to do it again tonight! I say we had an argument I had a mare a cry and banished him to the spare room, he never really argues back which irritates me even more 🙄

TheDaydreamBelievers · 13/02/2021 22:32

Argh! Sorry to hear that @ChinChilly Sad

Well there won’t be any DTD tonight, the evening ended in an explosive arguement 🥴😤

TheDaydreamBelievers · 13/02/2021 22:26

@juno231 I dont reckon we have a great chance this month but to be honest I'm not sure itd be the best if we did conceive given the call about testing the other day. Guess we just wait and see if AF appears.

Thanks as always for your help xo

Lol @Juno231
Also had the Valentine’s Day bonk! Despite it being the 13th 😂 .

Got my GP call tomorrow at 09:30 to ask for thyroid panel to be done! I really need them done so I got them for my endo appointment on 24th. I have been speaking to a group of women with hashimotos and they think with my results I currently have I should be put on medication as they have with similar results. I certainly have a lot of the symptoms. I just want it to be sorted so I can ovulate and hopefully at some point fall pregnant

Juno231 · 13/02/2021 22:07

@TheDaydreamBelievers I reckon cd20 if anything but if you have the energy to bonk then def go for it until AF!

@Moocher90 I'm so glad you got @LauraT94 's instructions as it's been waaaaay too long since I set it up to remember!

Had my valentines bonk - last one before the hsg I think (AF still hasn't starred!) and am now on the champagne 🥂

Moocher90 · 13/02/2021 21:19

thanks @LauraT94 xx all sorted

TheDaydreamBelievers · 13/02/2021 21:17

Meant to attach a chart!

So FF thinks I ovulated 3 days ago. Natural cycles isn't convinced. My OPKs were near positive 3 and 2 days ago but I never saw a peak.

To be honest I reckon this month my hormones are still probably nonsense. So maybe just continue DTD as much as we can until AF appears?

@Juno231 ooh ok the HSG sounds interesting! Hopefully it comes back clear for you. Can't believe all the chasing you've had to do! Thank god you're on the ball!

R.e. Christmas baby, wouldn't stop me trying! I'm desperate to be pregnant again. I was so ungrateful about having an August baby I feel so guilty.

@Flowers222 nothing like a bit of healthy competition to get the men interested 😂

Woohoo everyone's getting on the premium FF hype 😂

@Moocher90 you have to add it as a custom specific. On the 'edit your favourites' bit. And then add specific. And then once you've set that up, go on the charts page and click on chart duo and get it to plot RHR... Sorry it's really hard to give directions 😂 if you can't follow that then hopefully @Juno231 can word it better!

@Juno231 how do I add my RHR?! I know I have to set it as custom data but how do I set the parameters?

Moocher90 · 13/02/2021 19:25

Oh yes I just purchased it! Thank you x

@Moocher90 I think if you do the 90 day one you get the rest of the year for free

What one has people got?!

ChinChilly · 13/02/2021 18:21

@FlyingGiraffe the plan is to BD today and tomorrow! 🤞🏼

@Cams50 that’s rubbish about the SA stuff, it’s a really crap time for fertility treatment at the moment!

FlyingGiraffe · 13/02/2021 18:09

@Juno231 That's rubbish. I have my fingers crossed the HSG works its magic for you. A lot of friends of ours conceived early on...we're on cycle 7 now and although it's not easy, I keep telling myself it's normal. Especially given I'm 35 now!

@Moocher90 Glad it's working well for you!

CD8 for me today after the chemical/early miscarriage (I have no idea what to call it...) and i've had watery cm the yesterday and today. My temperature took a nice drop too. The OPK's are still low but that's ok - it'd be nice if ovulation was next week sometime so we have time to dtd a few times beforehand!

Flowers222 · 13/02/2021 18:03

@Juno231 @FlyingGiraffe you are probably right 🤣 it is now a competition and I am certainly not going to discourage it!

@Cams50 that's a little bit rubbish about the SA. I agree with @Juno231maybe do it sneakily in the car nearby 😂 needs must and all!

@Moocher90 maybe ovulation is close with that big drop.

Moocher90 · 13/02/2021 17:58

@FlyingGiraffe it’s only my 2nd cycle using it but I like it as it’s no hassle. I do still do traditional bbt as well so I can see a pattern on my FF app xx

FlyingGiraffe · 13/02/2021 17:40

@Cams50 Did your temperature rise this week after you suspected ovulation? That's so rubbish about trying to get DH's SA! Hope you can find some sort of solution to the problem, sorry it's being such a pain to sort out. The things you never thought you'd hear your GP say though! Haha!

Juno231 · 13/02/2021 17:39

@Cams50 I'd park the car somewhere and help him out - without it you can't get referred so might as well make it into an adventure 😁

@FlyingGiraffe haha I've lost all the competitions, they have actual babies by now!

Had another uni friend post a pregnancy announcement yday... It said hi to the third trimester and she got married in Aug so I reckon she got pregnant on her first cycle 😭

FlyingGiraffe · 13/02/2021 17:20

@Juno231 It sounds like a lot of work and organisation trying to get sorted with the NHS - it'll all be worth it though I'm sure! Good job you remembered to ask all the questions and persevered with the phone calls. I'm sure the 26th will come around super quick. Annoying it's when you're potentially ovulating but you never know - it might be late?! Good work on the walk today. I haven't stepped outside the door. It's been freezing and blowing a gale all day. I definitely haven't earned the Chinese takeaway we've just ordered!

@ChinChilly That is a good temp rise! Are you planning on BD today? Might be worth covering it!

@Moocher90 Is that Ovusense you're using? How are you finding it? The ewcm sounds positive!

@Flowers222 That's brilliant that your OH is on it this month! Hopefully all that BD gives you that BFP! @juno231 I was thinking that! Nothing like a bit of competition wanting to beat them to it! Haha! My DH friend mentioned a while ago that they were going to try for another in Feb so I was really hoping to be pregnant by now but nope! Clearly I'm a bit competitive too!

Cams50 · 13/02/2021 17:02

@Juno231 that’s frustrating! Glad you got it sorted though. But annoying you might have to miss out a month. We’re having trouble getting DH’s SA sorted because of covid. So the hospital near us aren’t doing it so they’ve referred us to the one that’s like an hour and a half away but they’re only doing ‘at home production’ lol but it’s need to be given in within like half an hour and the GP said ‘maybe a camper van on the motorway lay-by.’ 😂 but he doesn’t think he can refer us to the specialist without the SA results so who knows how long this will all take.

@ChinChilly and @Flowers222 I agree! I’d be happy with a Christmas baby or an anytime baby at this stage 😂 @ChinChilly my temps are quite rocky - think I’m a mouth breather/light sleeper so might just be an anomaly. Or maybe ovulation! Eek. If not hope it’s soon. @Flowers222 glad your DH is so on board this month 😃

ChinChilly · 13/02/2021 16:19

@Flowers222 fingers crossed 🤞🏼 definitely sounds like you’ve covered yourself!

@Juno231 it is possible I’ve missed my peak as I’ve been abit lazy with the OPKs this cycle but I pretty much always catch my peak so I’m not sure my temps were abit all over the place last cycle, pic attaches, so I guess we’ll see what my temps says tomorrow.

Not much going on here I had a spike yesterday and a massive drop today but not much going on with OPKs and had some pink spotting/glossy like ewcm today
