Post Pill Party - The Line Dance

@gracie2021 Sorry the tests and temps aren’t playing ball, you’re not out until you’re out though

@Kay00 that’s great that the docs are listening hopefully it will get the ball rolling a little

@chinchilly how curious about the EWCM! I suppose this month might be an unusual one for you

@abi555 fab temp rise!

@Flowers222 happy birthday hope you had a fab day

@emmgrem ahh that makes a little more sense about the high temps then, but also get your confusion, I’d deffo have a chat with the doc if it’s been longer than 6 months off the pill

@MissC07 definitely a peak get BDing!

@thedaydreambelievers How weird for you that it’s not gone full flow yet I do sometimes get that with AF and then have one mega day

I hope you’ve all had a wonderful unMother’s Day - here’s to it hopefully being out last ❤️

9DPO here slight dip in temp today but still well above cover line, I’m just glad I actually got around to ovulating currently CD64 🤦🏻‍♀️ at least I’m cutting my cycle times in half right?

@ChinChilly thanks! Aw your poor doggy!!

@Flowers222 Happy Birthday!! Hope you had a lovely day.

@MissC07 yay congrats on the positive OPK! Virtual cocktail making sounds fun. I’ve eaten sooo badly today. So much pizza and cake.

@Emmgrem sorry about the crazy cycles. No harm asking your doctor I guess.

@Flowers222 that's good to hear that you feel they helped! Happy birthday also

Weird times here - 1 day spotting, 1 seemingly AF, 1 spotting

@Emmgrem when did you come off the pill? My Dr told me it takes 6 months for you cycles to regulate if you had regular cycles before, give your Dr a call if you’re worried.

@MissC07 I’ve eaten fat too much beige food recently

@Flowers222 oh gosh, I hate those convos, luckily I haven’t had the pleasure of any of those yet!

@ChinChilly @MissC07 thank you for the birthday wishes. I did enjoy today. Certainly not the 30th I had always planned but my mother in law brought round afternoon tea which was nice. I did get the "when are you having kids, you are starting to leave it late" talk from my Nan this morning though 🙄

@Emmgrem you are right, we shouldn't be putting time pressures on, and I know 30 still means we have plenty of time! Sorry about your weird cycles though, I'd definitely say that is irregular

@MissC07 that is definitely a peak! 🤞O is happening soon!

Hey ladies, hope you all got through today. It can be tough when you're TTC 💕

Well an update on my crazy weird high temps in my follicular phase... my AF started today on CD18! Which is usually my ovulation day! So turns out I think I was in my LP all along (hence the high temps), and maybe ovulated straight after my last AF when I wasn't even temping 🙈🙈 If anyone has a different theory let me know though! What a waste of DTD & OPKs 🤣
I've attached my chart and last months short chart too (though not actually sure I ovulated last month either, even though FF confirmed it)

So my question now is - I've had these length cycles since coming off the pill- 18, 33, 33 (ended in a chemical), 25, 18... Do you think that's classed as irregular now?? What other supplements do you think I should be taking? I'm on folic acid, DHA and coq10. Plus doing seed cycling.

@Flowers222 I know what you mean with the 30 thing. Mine was always to have a baby WHEN I'm 30 for some reason. And AF starting today means I'll be definitely 31 at least now, so felt like a bit of a 'thing' for me 😔 Sending hugs! We shouldn't put time pressures on ourselves

@ChinChilly Sorry that your AF has been heavy and painful. It's good that you're getting a clear out though. My AF post chemical was so painful I cried on CD1 and couldn't even leave the house for a walk (dramatic!), so I think it's definitely the CP causing it. Sending you hugs!

@Flowers222 he’s fine, he’s always tip toeing on the edge so it was bound to happen one day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🥳 😁

I get you with the 30 thing I always thought I’d have a baby by the time I was 30, (30 in August) sounds like you got it coverer with the cake though 😉

@Kay00 great news that it looks like they might refer you! Would be good to get the ball rolling!

@TheDaydreamBelievers I take conceive plus ovulation support and I would recommend it. I think the ginger is supposed to help with AF cramps.

@Gracie2021 sorry it was a bfn. I swore I could see a faint shadow on yesterday's tests ☹️

@ChinChilly hope your dog is ok! Poor thing!

Sorry I've been a bit quiet. Bit of a double whammy today with Mother's Day and my 30th birthday. I had always wanted to have a baby or be pregnant by this point, but I am eating my weight in cake instead. Got a flashing smiley today on cd16 so fingers crossed O is soon. Will definitely be expecting bday bd 😂

@abi555 I was thinking that, I haven’t got any OPKs in but I doubt I’m ovulating this early! I think FF is probably about right, great temp rise though!

Well me and OH just took the dog for a nice walk on the canal, dog fell in the canal and had to be dragged out by OH, canal sides are quite high here! I’ve got one unimpressed pup as he had to have a bath when we got home 🙄 honestly there is never a dull moment in this house.

@abi555 from this cycle it doesnt look like you'd need those supplements - its used to bring ovulation forward, whereas yours is pretty much bang on when you'd want

@Gracie2021 aw really sorry to hear about blank tests, be kind to yourself today xxx

@Kay00 good news on referral, sounds like you have a nice GP!

@TheDaydreamBelievers oooh, useful info thanks, really interesting! I love a new supplement so will look into getting some

@ChinChilly odd for your EWCM... maybe your CP has messed with your cycle this month...

Anyone want to vote on when I ovulated? I'm not sure this month as have never had a slow rise before. FF thinks CD15 but another app I have thinks CD 18 when there is the sharp rise. Positive OPK CD15 but I stupidly didn't do one on CD16 as thought I'd found peak so it could have been positive CD16 as well. Not sure how many dpo I am... maybe that's a good thing as I can't obsess so much haha!

@Gracie2021 sorry about the BFN 😞

@Kay00 great news she’s going to refer you! Love the happy not yet mother’s day. 💐

@Cams50 Keeping everything crossed for you this cycle 🤞🏼

I’ve just had aload of EWCM this morning at CD6 that can’t be right, looks like my body is upto no good this month 🙄

Just for info (Im a scientist, cant help myself): I can see that myo inositol and D chiro inositol are clearly linked through RCTs to improving ovulation in PCOS. CoQ10 is linked by RCTs to improving the pregnancy rate in people struggling with fertility (although not live birth rate). Ginger - I cant work out why its in there scientifically speaking? Im wondering if its in there to reduce nausea rather than anything related to ovulation.

@Kay00 yeah I already have vitamin D and B complex in the rota :). I was also already taking folic but have swapped it for this

Happy not yet mother's day ladies. Let's hope it's our last xx 💕

@gracie2021 sorry about the blank tests, make sure you spend the day doing something lovely for you xx

@thedaydreambelievers hmmm... 5 day LP is less than ideal. It could be worth trying a B-Complex in your LP to try and lengthen it by a few days. It worked for me xx

I don't want to get my hopes up but when I spoke to my doctor this week (for the second time) I mentioned my lack of ovulation... she was impressed that I knew whether or not I had ovulated at all! She said to call her back next week and she'll refer me to the fertility clinic because I'm 35+ 🤞🤞

@Juno231 that’s good the results will be ready. And yes asking about those things sounds good. I hope the appointment goes well. Thankfully not too long away now. I’m ok thanks. 7dpo here so I go between getting my hopes up that some miracle will have happened this month to knowing it won’t have and I’ll officially hit the one year mark 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Kay00 sorry about the heavy af. Must be a good lining there though! That’s what I tell myself anyway with my long periods!!

@TheDaydreamBelievers sorry about af too but hope the conceive plus tablets help! I’ve been hearing a lot about those lately. Wonder if I should give them a try.

@Gracie2021 ah I’m sorry. You’re still not out but not the morning you wanted 😔❤️

Happy Mother’s Day ladies. Fingers crossed it’ll happen for us all soon 💕

@Gracie2021 ah I'm sorry gracie :( I was worried this would happen as your line was very faint for 11dpo but was hoping you would just have a slow rise or something! Take good care of yourself xxx

@Kay00 that's some dose. You feeling ok aside from that? Tough cycle you poor thing.

@TheDaydreamBelievers sorry to hear AF arrived. Hopes you've some nice treats ready.

Not great news this side either. Temp tanked this morning. Disturbed night sleep (nightmares that AF arrived..... ironic) so the only temp I have is from 5.30 so need to confirm the drop tomorrow. But FRER and Easy@home tests are blank this morning. I could keep kidding myself there's a shadow here or there but if yesterday's was something it should have gotten darker. Plus I think I feel AF cramps coming. So yeah.... not the morning I wanted but that's the fun of the TTC rollercoaster eh....

@Gracie2021 I can see what you mean on those tests!

It was AF 🙄🙄🙄. I wonder if either I did ovulate the last 2 cycles, which means a teeny luteal period or I didnt ovulate at all. I've started taking the conceive plus ovulation support which contains folic acid, myo inositol, D chiro inositol, CoQ10 and ginger. Let's see if it does anything...

@gracie2021 🤞🤞🤞 for tomorrow morning!! I wouldn't worry too much about the negative FRER tonight, you're still super early!

@juno231 damn... im so sorry AF turned up again, it must be very frustrating 😓

I'm on CD6 and AF is punishing me with some outrageously heavy flow... like I have lost a serious amount of blood 😅 the sad thing is its not even a real period... its just a 'breakthrough bleed' because I didn't actually ovulate.

@Cams50 couldn't help myself of course so did an FRER in the afternoon. Complete waste of a test so raging that I gave in to the obsession. Will do one with FMU tomorrow and see. Didn't try OPKs but tbh just trying to put it out of my mind til tomorrow. Lines were light so who knows.

@Juno231 hope you're doing ok and the treats help. Cant beat the weekly takeaway. My heart goes out to ye at cycle 16 but so glad that you have the appointments lined up and you're so on top of the info you need to get.

@cams50 I think they take max two weeks to process and usually much less than that so fingers crossed it's all available at the meeting! I need to remember to ask about his round cell count if they don't say anything specifically about it. That and TSH and AMH numbers rather than just "fine". How are you today?

@Juno231 sorry about AF 😔 haha B&Q is the height of the excitement these days alright. Fair play on the steps! At least your appointment has been brought forward. I hope that gives you some solutions. Any idea if you can get DH’s SA result before then or not?

@Gracie2021 aaah got everything crossed that line gets darker!

@MissC07 so sorry to hear your husband has been struggling - I hope the meds help him! One of my friends got put on new meds last month and had to stop taking them cause they gave him a permanent semi 🤣

CD1 here gals! Cycle 16 and getting mighty tired of it not working 😬

Had a nice day otherwise though - been to B&Q which is basically as excias it gets nowadays. Am currently out on a walk to get some steps in before the weekly takeaway tonight and that way I don't have to watch OH get pissed off with the rugby 😬
