Post Pill Party - The Ceilidh

Did an 11km/15.5k step walk today btw so feel like I will smash that pizza tonight 😂

@Flowers222 haha not gonna lie but I think your OH primarily just wants to beat them to it! That would be amazing though to do it together.

@chinchilly wow that is a jump! Reckon it could ovulation despite the opks?

@Juno231 that sounds ridiculous! I do find, as great as the NHS is, they do sometimes make things way too complicated.

@ChinChilly maybe something is happening with all the EWCM. I'm with you on feeling like a bfp will be a miracle anyway and I wouldn't mind a Christmas baby.

I'm on my third day of peak opks, so looking at my previous cycles, that either means ovulation today or tomorrow. Definitely covered ourselves dtd this time though, I'm exhausted! My OH has been on it, turns out it's because his best friend told him they are going to start ttc next month so he now has this vision of us getting pregnant and having kids at the same time.

@Juno231 gosh that sounds like a right ball ache! With the whole christmas baby, it really doesn’t bother me, I’m at the point where I’m thinking it’ll be a miracle if I even get a BFP! Crazy to think we’ve only got until march to get a 2021 baby!

My temp had abit of a jump today OPKs negative so far though

So I started spotting yesterday and figured I'd call to arrange my hsg as the clinic would be closed this weekend anyway. And my god is it not easy this NHS malarkey. It took me 11 phone calls to get through and at the end of it I got passed around another 3 people when they realised I don't have the antibiotics prescribed that I need for it. Basically took me all afternoon 😅

Now they only do it once a week on Fridays and the doc isn't in next Fri so I'll get it in on the 26th. Which sucks cause that should make me cd14 and you're not supposed to have sex beforehand or 24-48 hours after so it looks like next cycle might be a write off ttc wise 🙊.

How is everyone feeling about March ttc btw? I asked OH if he wanted to continue then and risk a Christmas baby but he's not bothered by it so I'm happy to proceed anyway.

Thanks ladies! That's very reassuring!! I just need to wait and hope they start getting darker soon

I'm with @Juno231 and @TheDaydreamBelievers - white for the month and colour maybe 3 days at most. But Premom says 42% of people are rapid onset which would be our type and the rest gradual onset which I presume is LH showing building through the cycle.

@TheDaydreamBelievers I'm the same! Any line on mine means something's up as otherwise it's just white! I don't even take pics of them anymore as there's nothing to document.

@Kay00 mine tend to sit between 15-30% I drink soo much water though

@Kay00 my OPK baseline is quite high, usually 30-40%. When it starts getting up to 50-60% it usually means my peak is getting close. It used to worry me but my doctor said my LH levels were normal when I had my bloods done 🤷🏻‍♀️ I wonder if it's because I don't drink enough

@Juno231 @LauraT94 you’re both tempting me!! £20 for the year isnt bad at all though!

Ooh @TheDaydreamBelievers I hope you get your Valentines day Ov!

I'm still quite dubious i'll be getting one... Just did an OPK and it was low at just 13%. So far this cycle (and all through my last annoulatory cycle) my usual 11am OPK is around 20-30% ... even as high as 46%.

Does anyone else get quite high base level OPKs?

@LauraT94 it's when they squirt a dye solution into your uterus and tubes to check for blockages and they xray you as it happens. It's basically an older version of a hycosy but potentially a bit more thorough. The hycosy is a bit better for you though as it avoids radiation lol.

@Gracie2021 it's crazy isn't it?! So glad I did it.

@ChinChilly it's cool 😎 I couldn't see a pattern until I saw it plotted on the chart like that! But as @Juno231 says so many things can affect RHR.

@Juno231 ah I'm sorry AF got you too! What's an HSG?

@TheDaydreamBelievers I paid £19.99 for a 90 day membership and then they have a deal on at the mo where they increase it up to a year! So i paid £20 for a year basically. I definitely think it's worth it so far!

@TheDaydreamBelievers it's £46 for the year I think. Or £10.90 for the month? They often seem to have discount codes crop up though but I've never been able to time it to when I actually needed it. Try the free trial first perhaps and then they might tempt you with a discounted offer after?

Oh and fingers crossed for Valentines ovulations ladies! That would be so cute :)

@Gracie2021 @MissC07 so I started bleeding this morning - not sure if it's full blown AF or not but I'll call today to arrange an HSG regardless as otherwise I have to wait until Monday to book it.

@LauraT94 @ChinChilly yeah I love the RHR function! Mine started dropping from Wednesday so I knew AF was on its way and today my temp has dropped to confirm what I knew lol. Saying that - some months my RHR makes no sense due to other factors like alcohol.

@LauraT94 you’re making me jealous with your RHR on your FF chart! I’m such a geek I love data on a chart 😂😂 Brownie for breakfast is a winner btw! I can’t find a pattern with RHR and ovulation

@Kay00 fingers crossed. It's the weekend for a bit of romance anyway 👍👍

@LauraT94 wow it's soooo clear when you add in the RHR. That's crazy. Worthwhile for the assurance alone.

@Gracie2021 got a house full of painkillers after the MC thankfully 😂 yeah I definitely feel better knowing what's going on! Even if I feel a bit sad!

@ChinChilly thanks ❤️ omg thinking is the weekend already is the worst!! Chart looks like you might be about to ovulate??

@Kay00 my OH is very sensitive luckily so he's being kind already! Offered to go get me a hot water bottle and didn't laugh when I had a brownie for breakfast to cheer myself up 😂 🤞🏻 for a valentine's ovulation for you and @ChinChilly

Told myself I'd 'treat' myself to premium FF if/when my period came! And I'm so glad I did. I can now see from my RHR that it's so obvious I did actually ovulate! Which I'm glad about as I worried it might have been an anovulatory cycle. Think that'll be really helpful going forward too. Bit worried about the short LP and low LP temps but I'm guessing it's more to do with the leftover pregnancy hormones/MC than anything else.

@Kay00 fingers crossed you get a valentines ovulation 🤞🏼 although FF seems to think i’m only having a 16 days cycle 🙄

@Gracie2021 I’m a countdown until the weekend girl! I was working 7 days a week before Christmas doing some COVID stuff on the weekends and it was a killer! I do like premom for stuff like that I am also too tight to pay for FF premium 😂

Thanks @Gracie2021 I might give that one a go too!
