Post Pill Party - The Line Dance

Hey @Robyn101 I’ve been doing that and thankfully I know exactly when I ovulated. I meant more, how do the nhs work it out and the best way to get them to give you an accurate DD but I think when the time comes I’ll just be honest with the GP and hopefully get an extra dating scan

@Kay00 not sure if helpful but as a backup Medichecks have a sale on and I've just ordered the 21 day test for £31. You can get next day delivery if needed. There as an option if thr GP can't help

@Flowers222 my OH says exactly the same thing 😂

@Cams50 I’m listening to the making babies podcast is it the one with Andrea Byrne? I’m literally sitting here nodding my head 😂 especially when they are talking about obsessive googling 🤣🤣

Thanks @Juno231 @ChinChilly @Gracie2021 @Kay00 I've eaten a whole Easter egg and feeling a bit better (if a little sick now!) I had a chat with my OH and he just said we have plenty of time, it will happen when it happens and everything will be ok. But I want it to happen now 😅

@ChinChilly I'm really sorry you got a bfn too and @Juno231 sorry your temp dropped. Sounds like we all need a bit of pampering this week.

@Kay00 hope they can squeeze you in for your day 21 tests!

HTH*

@AllyCat31 I had really long cycles but would use OPKs and BBT to track ovulation. When I got my BFP the FF app just added 2 weeks back from my ovulation date

I’ve had an early scan this morning and the dates match up perfectly (6+4) , so I’d suggest trying to track Ov if your cycles are haywire HYH

@Gracie2021 @Kay00 I mean I am only 11dpo and it wasn’t FMU and was quite diluted but I think I’m just making excuses for myself 😂

@AllyCat31 haha!

@Juno231 @Flowers222 @ChinChilly bum! So sorry that its not looking hopeful again this cycle.

I'm 4DPO and i'm going to try and speak with a doctor/my GP surgery about getting some day 21 bloods taken on Friday/Sat (7 or 8 DPO) as ovulation is such a rare occurrence for me, I couldn't have possibly predicted when Ov would have been - haha! But its a pretty last minute request!

@Juno231 no I didn’t think making up a date would be the best option 😂 I didn’t think of it like that though, I guess people pay a lot of extra scans so that’s a bonus really! Thank you. I’ll tell my OH to shut up 😂

Thank you @Kay00

@ChinChilly @Juno231 @Flowers222 really sorry that you're all seeing disheartening signs for this cycle. Don't know what to say tbh as I know myself there's not much that can help raise spirits toward the end of a cycle especially a milestone cycle except time. Which is ironic when time feels like the enemy. Basically I know it absolutely sucks and am sending virtual hugs. Hope you all have support from the OH's and am still keeping the fingers crossed on the chance that there might be some hope left for this cycle and a temp rise out of nowhere or something. Mind yourselves lovely ladies xxx

I think I’ll be joing the 2022 baby club....safe to say this is a BFN 🤨

@Flowers222 I get how your feeling, I’m not quite at the year mark yet (stopped the pill in June) but I’m getting there the last time I spoke to the doctors and she agreed to get the ball rolling with tests etc, I felt this overwhelming sense of failure and I was just so upset all day! It was really wierd because that’s what I wanted but I felt like the doctor was agreeing there was something wrong! Enjoy all the treats today and be kind to yourself ❤️

@Flowers222 the one good thing I guess is that you can get the ball rolling for tests? But yeah I know, it's not a good milestone. Mine coincided with Xmas which hit me extra hard and I did a lot of cryin!

@Kay00 nah, temp has plummeted today so AF will be here tomorrow! How's your temp today?

So this morning I had a bfn and a temp drop so that's it for this cycle. Onto cycle 8. Realised with my 6 week cycles, at the end of the next one I will hit the 1 year mark. Starting to feel down about it all and feel that it might never happen, at least without intervention. Sorry for being a downer I'm just so fed up of it.

@AllyCat31 Welcome!! And good luck in your first TWW!

@Juno231 Wow, a triphasic chart! Did you test??

@AllyCat31 I think they go by LMP and then adjust when you go in for a scan. I wouldn't lie as apart from anything you'll in effect be getting an early reassurance scan that others would have to pay privately for? There's no benefit to lying either - it's not like they'd think you're actually be 8 weeks pregnant!

Hi everyone, was hoping to join too. I’ve been on the pill for 15 years and came off before Christmas. This is the first cycle trying for baby #1. I’m 6 DPO and obviously would be really lucky to get a positive but I was just wondering how would they date a pregnancy when you’re really irregular? My cycles have been 75-50 days so far. Would they go off the last date of your period, thinking you’re already about 8 weeks and then send you for a dating scan? OH says to lie so they don’t get the date completely wrong but I don’t know what most people do when they have crazy cycles. Any advice appreciated 🙂

@Juno231 ahhh ok, not sure I’ve ever had one my charts normally resemble a toddlers piece of art!

@ChinChilly haha tell me about it! The holy grail of charts is what a triphasic is as far as I'm concerned lol. It's when 7dpo onwards you have a third temp shift - it's most commonly seen in BFP charts!

@Juno231 I’m awaiting the usual pre AF spotting to start today or tomorrow. What is a triphasic chart? I’m Still a charting novice! Lol!

Ahh that must be so frustrating for you!

I have to say TTC is really starting to piss me off 😂😂

@chinchilly fingers crossed she doesn't! Really good LP at the very least!

Just waiting for AF to start tomorrow. This was the first cycle FF labelled my chart as triphasic but alas my temp has plummeted now. So that'll be cycle 17 and no shot at an egg until cycle 18 😬

@Kay00 exactly, I can’t believe doctors think that taking your BBT or an OPK can cause enough stress to stop you from getting pregnant 🙄

My temp rose slightly this morning but I think AF is on her way to be honest so I’m not feeling excited about it

@chinchilly that's what I think too! I'm so chilled right now, at this point in my life, I can't seriously believe that stress I stopping me from getting pregnant or ovulating!

@thehotelcalifornia I totally get it. I'm 10 months in, only 8 cycles and only 6 ovulations so I feel as though I have missed many opportunities. On the plus side we have both ovulated so both in with another go in the conception lottery!

Also, if temping is making you feel stressed then maybe give it a rest until you either get a BFP or AF arrives... it won't make any difference to whether you get pregnant or not, it's all down to biology now 😁

@ChinChilly yes so true!!

@Cams50 I listened to a podcast ages ago and he touched in stress and he said women get pregnant through war, domestic abuse and rape so the whole ‘don’t stress’ thing is nonsense.
