Post Pill Party - The Ceilidh

Hi guys, have been very under the radar the last few days. Missed so many messages think I'll just have to catch up with all the updates from here on. Fertile week here but OH is doing 16 hour days and just stopping to sleep and eat so got coverage in for the weekend but missing the best days yesterday and today. Still some hope but peak test this morning and sharps O cramps this morning so think we only got -3 and -2 at the weekend. First month trying the CB advanced too and think I've been stopping DTD too early each cycle which hopefully I can amend in future months.

@Juno231 speaking of, whats yours doing? Did temps confirm O?

@LauraT94 ha we're all the same really - I can be so rational about other people's charts and then I see mine and despair lol.

@Juno231 you're right, sorry! Just got caught up with what I think they 'should be' but actually they're fine temps! I promise not to obsess about it again haha, at least until I'm closer to 10dpo 😂

@ChinChilly fingers crossed AF stays away!

@Moocher90 yay for temp rise! Hope it continues and confirms O for you.

@Sperr ooh I might look into maca, my OH could definitely do with a higher sex drive haha!

@Sperr I’m super pale and my last blood test showed I had pretty much no vitamin D, so low that my doctor put me on a ridiculously high dose for the next 7 weeks

@sperr even white people are deficient so with darker skin you should def be on it! Btw take the maca yourself too, it's meant to be really good for you. I've got some arriving this week that both OH and I will start taking :)

@ChinChilly fingers crossed for you!!

I’m back again after AF! Ready for BD to start again tonight - OH is rearing to go 😂😂. I’ve been taking soy isoflavones so let’s see if that can shorten my cycle! I also started taking vitamin D as a saw that most darker coloured skinned people are deficient in this (I’m mixed race). OH is also taking maca now as well as I read it’s very good for the swimmers and actually increases male sex drive not that he needs that (but that would explain why he keeps asking me when the BDing is going to start again 😂😂😂)

@Juno231 I’m going to try wait it out until the weekend if AF doesn’t arrive

@ChinChilly pfft O-3 and O-4 is definitely enough to get preggers!

@Moocher90 keeping everything crossed you’ve ovulated! I’m going to leave it until the weekend it AF hasn’t shown up I’ll test.

@Tillybabs thank you! Good luck with your blood tests.

@Juno231 Yeah, I can see what you mean about only being 10dpo, tbh if I am I haven’t got very good coverage DTD wise anyway! We’ll see what happens over the next few days I suppose

@LauraT94 I agree that your temps look absolutely fine! Even if they didn't it's too early for it to mean anything.

@ChinChilly I think there's a chance you're only 10DPO today tbh! Fingers crossed that's it and that the line gets stronger !

@Flowers222 thanks for sharing your experience with it. That makes me feel better. I’m going to have another blood test this evening so will see what that comes back with and then I’m talking to my GP again next Tuesday.

@ChinChilly I really hope it’s not an indent and you’ve just had a later implantation.

@ChinChilly sorry if it’s an indent maybe give it few more days and test again if AF doesn’t show up xx

I had another temp rise today so fingers crossed as long as next two are higher then I should get dotted crosshairs and hopefully means atleast I ovulated!

@LauraT94 I actually think the test from yesterday had a more of a pink colour. I’m taking it as a negative, my RHR has dipped 2 days in a row now so I’m guessing AF is getting ready for her uninvited appearance and my temp will fall through the floor over the next two days.

I’m ok either way to be honest (ask me again when AF arrives 🤣) I think it’s highly unlikely I’ll conceive until my thyroid levels are lower.

Must stop testing early, these indents are criminal 🙄

@ChinChilly I'm sorry you think it's an indent 😢 tbh at 12dpo I think I'd be inclined to agree that there should be a more obvious line - however you could have just had a late implantation and that might have skewed your temps a bit? I think HCG is meant to rise slower if you implant layer too. Sorry it's not more clear either way! The limbo is horrible. Xx

@LauraT94 FF thinks I’m 12dpo and premom thinks I’m 11dpo... I think its and indent to be honest, I’m sure it would be showing a clear line by now if I was pregnant especially using FMU but I did get up at 3am and stumble to the toilet but still 3am-7.30am would of been long enough.

How come I ended up with all the tests with bad indents, this happens everytime i test recently 😂😂

I like premom. It tells my BBT spikes for 2 cycles.

@Kay00 maybe I'm just being fussy 😂 Tbh I looked back at my chart from the month I conceived and my temps were lower than this cycle just after ovulation! So I need to stop obsessing I think and just see how my temps go. I'm feeling boiling hot at night so I can definitely tell my internal temp is up just from that! OH enjoyed snuggling into me last night haha, was like a hot water bottle!

@ChinChilly I can just about see a vvvfl there! I can't see if it has any pink but it's definitely there. Are you 12dpo? (Trying to work out if I counted the dots right 😂). FWIW with RHR mine tapered off after 12dpo when I was pregnant! Jumped back up later on (though I stopped logging it on FF.)

Ah they we go!

Hi guys, MN won’t let me upload a photo but its still a squinter 🙄 I think I’ve just got a dodgy set of tests with horrible indents! My temp went up but my RHR went down so I guess I’m just going to have to wait it out

@laurat94 I'd be pretty happy with those post Ov temps ☺ hang in there! At only 4dpo you could have implantation in the next few days which might bump temps in a northern direction 🤞🤞🤞

@chinchilly any news? 👀

My hopeful feeling about this cycle is diminishing... Temps aren't really playing ball after initial post-O rise 🤔 and RHR is pretty flat too! 🙄😩

Thank you so much! @Flowers222 look forward to sharing the journey with so many lovely ladies

Good evening! Looks like there is quite a bit to catch up on today!

@Tillybabs I also have high prolactin. Mine was over 1500. After a referral, follow up tests and and an MRI they have decided it was probably just stress (probably as I was running late for the blood test!) as I am still ovulating it doesn't seem to be affecting me. I think if you don't have any other symptoms I wouldn't worry. They said if it was really something to worry about you would have obvious symptoms but they just needed to rule out anything else and would have been very surprised if something did come up!

@Melissaq94 welcome! It has taken a few of us to settle after the pill, and a few of us who still haven't settled so you have company here! There can be a lot to get your head around with temps and opks but lots of lovely experts here who can help

@Kay00 yay for a peak OPK!! 🤞 sounds like you are covered with the sympathy shag 😂

@ChinChilly eeek! Exciting about the squinter! I really hope this is it for you! Can't wait for you to test in the morning!!

@ChinChilly I disappear for a few hours and you get a squinter?! 😱 I'm sure I'm not the only one holding my breath waiting for the FRER in the morning!

@Kay00 sympathy shag, love it 😂 Kelly is cute!! My Georgie brings in mice most nights around 2am and noisily eats them on the floor at the end of our bed! 🤢

@Melissaq94 hi! Welcome 😊

@Tillybabs fingers crossed next results come in under the normal range!

@Juno231 good job on the steps! I've hit 10k the past 3 days.... Only another 30 days to go 😂

@TheDaydreamBelievers I'm sorry your cycles still screwing you around 😩❤️
