Post Pill Party - The Ceilidh

@LauraT94 I haven’t said anything yet, I don’t know if I should say anything until im 100% sure. Well i got to my physio and I had the appointment times mixed up I thought it was 09:30 and it was 09:00, sign of how the rest of the day will go tbh.

@Ttcin2021 thank you, I’m still not sure I can trust it 😂

@Ttcin2021 hm ignore coverline this early on - the rule of thumb is that it counts as a temp rise if its higher than the previous six temps. Are these two temps fulfilling that?

@TheDaydreamBelievers you're more than entitled to! CD40 is no fun so definitely be kind to yourself.

@LauraT94 ah you reminded me that I need to eat that darn pineapple I have waiting for me! Got maca root arriving today as well but I imagine it's too late for it to do its magic this cycle.

@TheDaydreamBelievers So at the beginning of this cycle I took Soy Isoflavones, which are 'natures Clomid' apparently and are meant to help encourage earlier and stronger ovulation. I took them days 3-7 (dosage 100, 150, 150, 200, 200). They seem to have a big success rate in helping women who have erratic long cycles or who don't always ovulate, to ovulate earlier and get a BFP! But you can only take them at the start of your cycle or they can well and truly mess things up. There are some really good threads about Soy Iso on MN that are worth a read.

But... they didn't work for me! I haven't ovulated yet (unless it happens today) and my body made several attempts to ovulate this cycle. I will probably give them another go next cycle though as they can take a couple of cycles to work.

During this cycle I got annoyed and bored and stopped taking all my supplements (B-Vits, EPO, CQ10 etc) apart from my prenatal. When I ran out of my prenatal (Seven Seas) I started Conceive Plus Fertility Support (on CD36). On CD37 I had my first LH surge (75% on OPK) and I got a peak OPK on CD39. It is probably just a coincidence, but might be worth a try??

I haven't ovulated yet though... i'm CD41, my temps are still steady at 36.13, so no temp rise. I'm hoping that I will ovulate today (48 hours after peak OPK) because my cervix was still SHOW last night, so I hadn't ovulated yet.

@ChinChilly panic is also a sign of a BFP 😂 I lost my shit for about two days after mine! Hopefully physio and then work will help distract you slightly. Does OH know?

@Juno231 woohoo! 🥳 that's a really good temp rise! Mine was up slightly today (5dpo) to 36.6 from 36.52 yesterday. I'm hoping I'll head closer to 36.7 tomorrow! Gutted I don't have any Pomegranate juice in the house but I've ordered some for Friday and hoping that's good enough 😂 promise I'm not obsessing at all... 🤪

@ChinChilly wow this looks very exciting! I’m new to all this and even I can see the lines!

@Juno231 I know you are BBT pro..... when you say temp rises after ovulation.... does the first temp after O have to be over the cover line or just gradual rise is okay? I think I did CD13 and have had two rises since below cover line..... I’m only 2DPO so not long enough to know for sure yet but just wondered.

@LauraT94 3DPO btw and FF has confirmed it! Temp jumped to 36.71 as well so now I feel better about the temp rise too. How are you today?

@Kay00 The FRER has definitely got darker, I’m not sure i believe them 😂

@Moocher90 thank you 🤞🏼 😘

@LauraT94 I’m sure the IC are 10miu or whatever the measurement is lol.

@Juno231 Fake FRERs imagine 😂 I wouldn’t be surprised with Amazon to be honest.

I feel really panicy, now I’ve gotta go have a phyio session and sit in the office all day GAHHHH

@ChinChilly hm maybe you got a batch of 10 FRERs cause they were fake ones lol. No but seriously - there's no disputing these and they've gotten stronger. I reckon the faint line is due to you having ovulated later than you thought!

@ChinChilly although they're faint lines I can definitely see progression on the FRERs and as you say the IC is a clear result! Do you know what sensitivity the IC is?

@Moocher90 just realised I forgot to add about ovulation pain yesterday - I get sharp pain when I actually ovulate (was particularly bad this cycle!) and then crampy pains for the next few days! I get some crampy pains just before O too. The cycle I conceived I had cramps pretty much from O until about 6/7 weeks pregnant!

@ChinChilly I really hope it’s your BFP!

@ChinChilly the IC is super clear and it looks to me as though your FER has got darker since yesterday too... Congratulations!!!

Forgot to attach

The IC is super clear

That is yesterday’s tests and today’s. I’m not sure why the IC is darker plus I feel like the lines should be darker

@ChinChilly BFP 😱 😭

@ChinChilly aaaaah I can definitely see lines on both!!!!!

@ChinChilly EEkkk!!! I can see lines on both!!! I would say this is your BFP!?

Not sure what to make of these 🤔

@Moocher90 I get ovulation pains some months. This month they are really obvious. They aren’t painful as such, it just makes my whole pelvic area feel tight and a little tender.

@TheDaydreamBelievers it wasn’t a fluke, it definitely means you can get pregnant. It’s still not too late to ovulate and I remember reading that some months we can have blips. Try not to worry so much and speak to your GP for some advice as others have suggested XX

@LauraT94 Yep, that was me 🤣🤣

@ChinChilly wasn't it you who got sent like 10 extra FRERs haha? Do it do it do it.

@Juno231 @LauraT94 Yep, faint line on 2 different tests the first one was called one something or other and yesterday was a FRER.

@FlyingGiraffe I’m not sure when to test I haven’t been for FMW yet but I really should wait until the weekend 🤣
