Post Pill Party - The Line Dance

@Kay00 aw I’m so sorry 😞 how frustrating! The ‘stress’ thing really annoys me. I hope the soy helps this cycle.

@Ttcin2021 good luck for today eek!

@TheDaydreamBelievers glad the blood test got moved up and you can get that over with it and hopefully the answer you want ❤️

10dpo here. My temps have dropped a bit the past two days so I feel AF is on her way 😞 at least my lp is slightly longer. I think the b vitamins have helped as I had two cycles before them where I started spotting from 7dpo.

@Kay00 💐 ☕️ socially distanced hug ❤️ ✨

@thedaydreambelievers haha! I can agree with that 😆. Today is the first day in a long while when I have felt quite upset about the whole process 🙃 glad your lil bleed means you can get your blood test done at least!

@ttcin2021 I can certainly see something and it looks blue! 💙 fingers crossed for the morning 🤞🤞🤞

@Ttcin2021 looking forward to seeing your pink dye tomorrow! I can see lines on this blue one

@Kay00 my blood test got moved to tomorrow. Nothing to prep, they literally just take blood. I only had to wait this long so they could check I wasnt pregnant. Which they usually check by your period coming, but like that is going to fucking happen 🙄. Theyve moved it up because I did have a bleed this weekend. Shortest period known to man if it was that but apparently it counts 🤷🏼‍♀️. I feel so frustrated for you about the GP. You know what is fucking stressful? Mental cycles and not ovulating. That's stressful.

Will see what happens tomorrow...... I’m now googling and thinking did I dip the test too far into the pot and all sorts haha!!

@Ttcin2021 if it came up in the time then I would be inclined to say it was a BFP, tentative congratulations 🎉

It came up after about 1.5-2 minutes. Yeah just found a pink one so I’ll do that in the morning. I’m doubtful as temps haven’t been huge, above cover line but nothing special!

@Ttcin2021 if it came up in the time frame then its a positive, if it didn’t then I think blue dyes are notorious for evaps, do you have a pink dye test to check with FMU?

Okay now I’ve googled evap lines maybe it’s that?

I’m only 10DPO and this is evening wee!

Ladies.... can anyone see a shadow?

@Juno231 😂😂😂 omg same! I wasn't sure if you can wee straight on them would you just hold it upside down and aim for the tip? 😂😂😂

@Melissaq94 don't worry if it's a bit lighter - that could just be because it's not diluted. Ohh and apparently pros pee straight into the opk sachet but I'd just wee on my hands if I tried 😅

Thank you all! Just re tested its more or less the same if not slightly lighter! I'm working 2-10 so I'll do one tonight when I'm home, don't fancy taking my pee cup to work with me to dip there 😂

@Kay00 how annoying! It's ridiculous it is passed off as stress. I had the same experience the first time I spoke to a gp when I was having 75 day cycles. She just said that even though I don't realise it I am probably very stressed with covid etc etc. compete bullshit as I wasn't stressed at all! I was so frustrated so went to another gp who was so kind and considerate and started running lots of tests. I would definitely try another gp or go private if you can!

@Melissaq94 as others said looks nearly positive. Test again this afternoon and it might be positive then!

@MissC07 lots of strong lines! Today might be the day! 🤞

I am on the 3rd day of flashing smileys today, I had 4 last time before peak so hopefully will get peak in the next couple of days.

@MissC07 those are some good dark lines there! Definitely an LH surge. Better DTD today!

@Melissaq94 that is a negative so test again later. You might ovulate a bit later than expected. For instance, I have been ovulation around CD16 but my last one happened at CD19 so later than what was predicted.

@Kay00 your absolutely right, alot of the women’s reproductive system is just disregarded as stress! If you afford to go private I would say go for it! If my GP is not forthcoming with my thyroid issue I’m going to research going private.

@Melissaq94 it’s not quite there yet but you’re definitely not far off, keep testing!

@Sperr I’ve never tried to pomegranate juice thing, I saw somewhere that all the antioxidants are removed when it’s juiced? I couldn’t be bothered to look into it but it you like the taste then I guess theres no harm and to be fair the grapefruit juice worked for me so maybe the pommi juice does too!

@Kat668 I’ve never had any aches and pains coming off the pill but I do think I had a pretty easy ride when i stopped it.

I’m feelint strangley energised the last few days maybe my super dose of vitamin D is kicking in. My RHR is the lowest its been for a long time but I have been making an effort to eat better and do more steps, I’ve been getting 17-24k each day for the last 2 weeks so it’s probably a combination of it all!

@Gracie2021 @Robyn101 temp is on the way up! Only one more day and I can feel safe that I’ve actually ovulated 😂.

Pineapple and pomegranate juice at the ready. Annoyingly OH loves pomegranate juice so keeps drinking it all 😂. Hates grapefruits so I’m safe with that part

@Kay00 oh I 100% agree, it's so unfair that women are always told it's stress. Hopefully these meetings help at least!
Yeah it still hurts and it's moved up to my shoulder and neck now I just remember seeing in the coming off cerelle tread that some had muscle aches so wondered! But I'm sure it's not ha ha.

@Juno231 yeah I think it probably is a trapped nerve! I do get them fairly often, just never had it in my forearm before. Thank you!

@Melissaq94 yes that's a negative for now - looks like you're close though! Test again this afternoon just in case :)

Hi ladies! Just wanted to check this ovulation kit result with you, if this was a pregnant test it'd be a whole other story! Haha but does this mean it was negative? Ovulation day is today according to both cycle tracking apps

@kat668 I sometimes get trapped nerves in my arm - maybe google ulnar nerve stretches just in case? They're easy to do! and welcome!

@Kay00 honestly that really cheeses me off. Especially as you're in the 35+ category and have not only been trying long enough to be referred but you can tell you don't ovulate! I'd honestly be tempted to try a different GP at the clinic if possible to get that referral?

@Moocher90 lovely to hear from you! Glad you got the ball rolling on tests, got my fingers crossed they can help you properly this time.

CD4 here and nothing to report really. Got another 6-7 days to go until FW.

@Kat668 Sorry, I didn't get a sore arm, does it still hurt?

@ChinChilly @Kat668 Thank you. I honestly think, if a man had presented with an issue where (for example) his body hadn't produced sperm for 3 months it wouldn't be dismissed as 'stress'.

At least my partners private health care is covering my referral to the Gastro and dietitian, and I should be seen within the next couple of weeks. So if my lack of ovulation, and my stomach issues are due to the chronic inflammation I have been suffering with for 5 years+ or stress I will find out quickly.

I finished day 5 of my Soy Isoflavones last night, which i'm really hoping helps kick start ovulation this time (come on body... we can do this!!) and if it doesn't then i'm going to book to see the fertility clinic privately. No more waiting around.
