Post Pill Party - The Line Dance

@Lovebug06 did you end up testing? Xx

@crabette lovely scan :) xx so happy for you, glad to hear that everything is going well

@crabette 😍😍😍😍 wow, huge congratulations again xx

@kat668 yes, sounds like you were having an estrogen surge which produces EWCM (egg white cervical mucus) which is the ideal environment for OH's swimmers to reach your egg. Often an estrogen surge will coincide with a LH surge (that's what the OPKs test for) and ovulation. So fingers crossed that's what's happening for you!

Hi ladies, just wanted to let you all know I'm still checking in to see how you guys are doing (and throwing around tons of baby dust!!!)

It's been a long 8 weeks, but finally made it to the 12 week scan today 💞 xx

@Lovebug06 hopefully it's pregnancy stomach pains! I understand the waiting to take a test, hope its a lovely BFP when you do!

@Kay00 ooh that's great! Hope they get back to you soon!

Hey guys, hope you are all OK and looking forward to the Easter weekend! Hope its OK to ask a TMI question, feel free to skip 🙈
For about 5 days (I think) I've had a thick discharge, like jelly consistency. I know you have discharge around ovulation so think it might be that, but is 5 days of it normal? For info I came of the pill on the 15th March and haven't had any bleeding so far. Also we're starting our TTC journey tomorrow so if this is ovulation that's great!! (We waited till tomorrow to hopefully avoid a Christmas week baby ha ha)

@Kay00 that’s great news!! Xx at least it gets the ball rolling and one step closer

@Kay00 Yay!! That is the start of the ball rolling 🤞🏼

Ladies. I have submitted my self referral form at the Exeter Fertility Clinic - eeek!!

@Lovebug06 sorry...,, still reading all of these. I am currently 5 + 6 pregnant and had really bad stomach ache/pain/diarrohea a few days before my BFP so keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Sorry I've been quiet ladies - promise I'm reading all of it, I've just not got much to say atm!

@Kay00 I'm sorry your temo dropped again :/ your comment about having OHs full support made me cackle though. I think it's a good idea to get things checked out!

@Lovebug06 got all my fingers crossed that AF stays away!

I'm 5DPO today but have the lowest post O difference in temps I think I've ever had? First time I'm actually doubting if I've ovulated, although my RHR has thankfully gone up.

Okay so it hasn't come yet. My stomach is really hurting this morning though and like bubbling. I have a horrible feeling I'm just late. I actually don't have a test in the house, this is one time I regret that😂 however I want to go and get one but feel like the amount my stomach hurts maybe I'm just late.
I'm not sure if I'm the only one on here that stopped the testing so not sure if anyone will understand me.
I'm more anxious today than yesterday!
I'll give it longer today to see, before I buy a test. Sounds mad but I feel like if I go this morning I'll be tempting fate a bit.
I found the negatives so so hard so this is why I'm like this.

Morning,

@FlyingGiraffe I get the whole looking younger thing, I’m 30 in August and I cannot buy paracetamol let alone alcohol without ID. I was going to work once and I had a black pencil skirt on and the guy behind the counter said he ID’d me because he thought I was in a school uniform 😂 I think you should be ok going for your bloods then, I think they just say 7dpo/7 days before AF because that is when progesterone is at its highest but if i book them 7 days before AF is I think I’ll be 5dpo too because my LP is about 12 days (I think)

@Kay00 are you thinking of going straight to private or trying your GP one more time? If I could afford it I would go straight to private.

I had anothe temp rise this morning so hopeing FF gives me cross hairs tomorrow. RHR is on the move aswell.

@Moocher90 I did mine at 10DPO on a FRER and had a clear line, but before that my only other LP off the pill had been 10 days

@Lovebug06 No I completely get it the symptoms can be so similar and then you get in your head and start thinking it through.

I personally found the hope and let down worse, the way i saw it was if I was pregnant I’d be pregnant whether I took a test or not so found seeing a result a definitive yes/no helped

I’m still doing them now for progression and just because I still don’t quite believe it, don’t think I will till I see it on a scan

@flyinggiraffe haha! Unfortunately I'm not blessed with your youthful looks, in fact I think I look a little older than my age 😅 it doesn't help that my OH looks about 21, and regularly gets ID'ed for alcohol... despite being 38!! 🧐😂

I'm actually thinking of calling the fertility clinic tomorrow and going private. I just mentioned it to OH who said he was too stressed about work to think about it... so I assume that means I have his full support 😆😆😆

@Kay00 Sorry your temp went back down 😣 Push those doctors and stress your age to them (I look really young for 35....people assume I'm early 20's so I made sure to remind her that I turn 36 this year!) and how long you've been trying. I really hope you get someone more understanding and proactive this time! ❤

@ChinChilly yay for ovulation! That is a steep rise! I have my day 21 bloods tomorrow. Do you and @Moocher90 think I'll be ok going tomorrow having ovulated on day 16 so ill be 5dpo? I'm not sure if I should have delayed it by 2 days? I usually have early spotting before AF which touch wood hasn't started yet so the 7 days before AF thing is confusing for me! 🥴😂 I just hope that it wont make too much of a difference.

@Flowers222 Brilliant temp rise 😊 I think you're only a day behind me and @Juno231 now. Good coverage if you're 3dpo too! 😊🤞

@Robyn101 sorry I totally wittered on and went off track 😂 yes I'd test tommorow of it hadn't come. The thought of it not coming by tommrow feels like a dream though x

@Moocher90 no not tested. I don't actually have any tests 😂 I used to find the negative far worse than AF weirdly. So when my packet of cheap ones finished I didn't buy anymore, that was months ago. It hasn't arrived yet, but it's come in the evening many times. A couple of times it's cruelly come in the night so I've gone to bed hopeful for nothing. So I will see how this tonight goes.
The achey feeling has totally gone now. Had some very light cramps earlier but gone. Just expecting to see it everytime I go for a wee 😩 sdcs have distracted me a lot today.
@Robyn101 I literally feel the same as normal before AF too. I think because I had used pre seed for the first time I gave myself a bit of hope after reading great reviews. Although I obviously know it doesn't work for lots of people. I also then came out in spots which are getting worse even now. Although I had post pill acne it had cleared up about 2/3months ago. And it actually never got worse at AF. Its been nearly two weeks of it suddenly bad. Its probably just come back, which is awful. If I got a BFP then it's worth it 😂. Only weird thing is my whole belly is quite sensitive today, so if the dog leant on me it hurt. But I think I'm clutching at straws, it could have even come right now! Some months I've had completely random symptoms as well as normal and it's still been AF so I find symptoms can vary for me at times anyway. I'm trying to tell myself it won't happen but I'll still cry my eyes out when it does lol. Sorry to be negative its just hard after so long!

@Kay00 sorry that your body is playing tricks!! Hopefully you will get some answers once the inflammation is all under control and you will start ovulating again xx

@Robyn101 what DPO did you take your test?! X I can’t remember

Hope you ladies don’t mind my lurking occasionally just following and hoping to see lots of happiness here!

@Lovebug06 not sure if we crossed paths before I got my BFP but I had cramps to the point I was convinced AF was on its way, took a test to show my mind that it was negative so I’d stop guessing and speed AF up but got a positive. I know some people don’t like seeing the BFN but for me it just helped my mind adjust and get ready for it. I’d say test tomorrow if you’ve not already given in

@Lovebug06 have you tested yet?! I also have that achey feeling down below like AF will come but it hasn’t but I’m only 8DPO so anything can happen in the next couple of days.

@flowers222 Woop! A lovely clear temp rise, well done!

@ChinChilly yes, I think I will try my doctors again. I will ask for a new doctor this time.
