Swing your partners round and round (the bedroom). Grab a spot and put your best checked shirt on. We're all stepping together to create some seriously strong lines - Yee-Haw! Now let's get making some cowboys (and girls!) It's time to begin now count it in...5...6...7...8!

This is the 9th post pill party thread for women whose bodies are a bit out of sync post pill. So pull up a hay bale and share your stories of dreary delayed ovulation, fascinating follicular phases, lively luteal phases and terrific temp charts.

@MissC07 glad he’s doing ok and I agree with @Gracie2021 that hopefully your dip in your temps means ovulation is in its way 🤞🏻

@Gracie2021 have you tested again? Are you 11dpo? Have you tried out @LauraT94 theory with the OPKs? That if they’re darker it might mean something 😀

Gracie2021 · 13/03/2021 10:31

@MissC07 thanks 🤞 hope ye have some nice plans for the weekend together. Chart looks promising for O in the next couple days? My temps start hitting low a few days before O. Know everyone's trends are different but those low temps with CM. Fingers crossed.

@Cams50 thanks 😊 here's hoping. The extra chart info is a slippery slope into insanity. Might be safer to stay away 🙈

MissC07 · 13/03/2021 09:07

@Cams50 @Sperr @ChinChilly Thank you ladies, he seems to be doing ok now with some time off work so fingers crossed he's moving in the right direction.

@Gracie2021 I can definitely see a line in the second one!! Fingers crossed for an FRER tomorrow!

CD27 and still waiting for ovulation which I'm hoping will happen soon. Chart attached for the hell of it. Happy Saturday ladies 😘

@Gracie2021 that was meant to say bday not no* wtf 😂

Cams50 · 13/03/2021 08:20

@Gracie2021 omg! I can see something in the bottom test too!! Fingers crossed and what a lovely no present to your OH 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

And you’re probably right about the data - I’d probably be comparing charts like mine on CD1 temps 😂😂😂

@ChinChilly that’s good about your doctor’s surgery!

Gracie2021 · 13/03/2021 08:11

@LauraT94 you bet I do 👍👍 It's ready and waiting. Just didn't want to waste it til I have a definite line on the cheapies. Budget conscious 😂😂🙈🙈 if we're being honest I'm 100% doing another test in the afternoon but I'll try keep to the cheapies. OHs bday is next week. He knows that if my temp went back up today it might be a good sign but I think if things pan out I might pass it off and keep quiet til his bday. God can feel myself getting my hopes up 🙈

LauraT94 · 13/03/2021 08:07

@Gracie2021 I can see it on the one with FMU! Have you got a FRER to try tomorrow? 🤞🏻

Gracie2021 · 13/03/2021 08:05

@ChinChilly omg 👀 if it changes this for the better can only be a good thing I suppose. Here's hoping. Hope you have nice plans for the weekend x

Fingers crossed. Trying to manage hope levels til I see what's up tomorrow morning. Time will tell. It's the first even hint of hope since we started so can't be a bad thing no matter how it turns out.

ChinChilly · 13/03/2021 08:01

@Gracie2021 they’re not normally very good, receptionist are normally really rude, can never get an appointment, but they’ve been really good recently. I think there’s been a change of management and they’ve recently been on a ‘fly on the wall’ series for chanel 4 so that probs explains it 😂😂

Also I definitely see something on the bottom test.

@MissC07 sorry to hear about OH, hopefully some time off work helps, sounds good that his boss is being supportive

Gracie2021 · 13/03/2021 07:44

@TheDaydreamBelievers sorry hadn't realized. Has the spotting turned to AF yet? Fingers crossed not for a few days yet and a longer LP.

@Sperr OH sounds like gold! Clearly on top of things.

@Cams50 9 months here so you're just ahead of us. Not sure if you should treat yourself for the 12 month mark. The chart comparison is making me lose the plot! Too much data to obsess over!!

@ChinChilly sounds like they're good for support. Always helps having trust that your doctor cares. Tbh that sounds like my period every month. Is it very diff to usual?

Losing the plot here a bit lads. My temp went down at 9 DPO last month. 11dpo and went up this morning. Now I woke at 6.30 instead of 7 as usual so that could be throwing it off but woke at 4.30 and thought it was getting up time somehow and the temp from them was in line with yesterday so either way I didn't see a drop which is positive.

And for someone who has never seen an indent or a faint on anything (like to think I'm quite practical, if it's white, it's white....) I'm seeing the faintest, can't capture on camera, line on the easy at home test. Did another using SMU on the same easy at home and am seeing it on that too. Trying so hard not to get my hopes up but have a funny feeling I'll be waking early tomorrow too.

@Gracie2021 @Juno231 OH had put it on a lower temp! It’s basically like bath temp and I hadn’t even noticed. I feel much better about it now 😅. I always under estimate him!

@MissC07 sorry to hear about your OH! Hope he (and you) are alright 😘

ChinChilly · 12/03/2021 20:28

@TheDaydreamBelievers sorry abou the spotting, our bodies really can be arseholes at times!

My liver levels came back as normal so the last ones were obviously just a blip. The GP put a not at the end off the message saying ‘I’m so sorry to hear about your recent miscarriage, we’ll speak on the 24th but if you need anything please call the surgery’ I didn’t think they called it a miscarriage when it was that early. But it was nice of her to acknowledge it I suppose.

This AF has been really odd, I had one day of really heavy bleeding with huge clots (tmi sorry) and I was in agony all day but yesterday and today has been so light I can only assume it all came out on Wednesday.

TheDaydreamBelievers · 12/03/2021 19:45

@Gracie2021 @Cams50 absolutely zero chance - we are on protected sex only so I can get the APS testing done. Not even technically TTC atm!

Cams50 · 12/03/2021 17:49

@Juno231 yeah it sounded frustrating, glad he understood where you were coming from eventually. That’s great about your acne! Sorry about the bfn though. Still no AF though? So a good lp?

@Gracie2021 I came off the pill last April so I’m on month 11. So nearly at the one year mark😬 I haven’t got FF premium so I can’t do the charts like mine. Maybe I’ll treat myself for the one year mark 😂 sorry about the bfn but 10dpo is still early days so fingers crossed.

@LauraT94 that’s great line progression! So exciting about the early scan.

@MissC07 sorry about your DH 😔 glad his boss is being supportive.

@TheDaydreamBelievers sorry about the spotting. It’s the worst. But I agree with @Gracie2021 that maybe it could still be a good sign?

Gracie2021 · 12/03/2021 16:43

@MissC07 he's right to take the time to look after himself especially with so much burdening people right now. Hope the time does him good too.

@Sperr phew 😅 panic over.

@TheDaydreamBelievers no chance of implantation spotting?! Sending good thoughts out into the fertility universe! How long was your LP last month?

TheDaydreamBelievers · 12/03/2021 16:19

Im having spotting that looks like AF is about to start. Which would make it 5dpo... for fucks sakes, body, what the hell are you up to?! AngrySad

Sperr · 12/03/2021 16:08

@Juno231 I just had a panic but realised that we had basically stopped using the other one before we started TTC. I might just get OH to test his sperm count in a month to see if it’s normal as a test 😅😂.

He’s had hot baths all his life every evening though and he’s not had issues with his swimmers as of yet (long story but we know it works!)

MissC07 · 12/03/2021 15:33

@Gracie2021 thank you. I've been surprisingly chilled this month with TTC (although give me a few more days I probably won't be!) I'm just worried about him and his work. But he already seems more relaxed taking a step back from work and his boss is being great about it which helps. I hope you're doing ok ♥️

OP posts:
Gracie2021 · 12/03/2021 15:18

@MissC07 so sorry to hear your OH is having such a tough time. Can only imagine the stress of that as well as wondering how it affects TTC. How are you doing with it all?

Gracie2021 · 12/03/2021 15:13

Didn't think is that @Juno231 but I've actually heard the same thing about hot tubs and men 🙈

I'm usually ok with lockdown. We've basically been in a self imposed lockdown for a year now as we're in a bubble with family who are vulnerable. Think it's partly just PMS mood swings but boy is it tough this week!!! Need those vaccines to come along nice and quick but it's so slow!!! Do ye have any green spaces near you that ye can escape to? I'm running up the fields outside when I need to escape and it helps a bit.

MissC07 · 12/03/2021 15:12

@Gracie2021 Totally agree with lockdown driving me insane! I'm so over it now. We've just moved our Portugal holiday (moved from last year) from June to Sept as I was worrying things wouldn't be open in time!

@Juno231 I'm in London too 👋 I've mentally already planned about 10,000 things to do once everything starts opening again!

CD26 for me today and still nothing. My temp has dropped but OPK's still quite light. I'm trying not to obsess too much so am only bothering to test once a day. OH has been signed off work with stress and put back on anti depressants so I've been stressed googling about the tablets and how they affect fertility and it doesn't look great 😔

OP posts:
Juno231 · 12/03/2021 15:02

@sperr just a heads up that that hot tub will be really bad for OH's swimmers! I read a funny reddit thread the other week in the TIFU (today I effed up) section where this guy and his wife had been TTC for 9 months and he'd only just realised that his hot tubbing probably had a big impact on why it hadn't happened yet.

@Gracie2021 I'm so sick of lockdown! Esp being in London where I think we've been in lockdown for longer than most :( Dying to be active, social and outside again!

Sperr · 12/03/2021 14:09

@Gracie2021 we used our other one only on the weekend because it took 2 hours to heat up and we are lazy! But we did use it pretty much every single weekend when it wasn’t raining!

Gracie2021 · 12/03/2021 13:49

@Sperr think you're onto a winner there. Know what I'll be googling this afternoon. Do ye use it every day?

I'm gone down the obsession tunnel today. Don't know why cause I was fine til today but even after a BFN this morning and having PMS symptoms it's just one of this days when I want to google what are my chances all day 🙈🙈🙈 and I have a tiny drop today vs last months. Think I'm going to plan a virtual holiday later to distract myself. Missing travel today so bad!! Anyone else really having lockdown hitting hard at the moment?

Sperr · 12/03/2021 13:15

@Gracie2021 best investment ever. At the first lockdown we bought a 2 man wooden one that you heat with logs and we loved it. So now we’ve got a 6 man proper one that’s electric, massage jets and all! I don’t really believe we will be allowed out and back to normal this summer so that’s where I’ll be 😂.

@LauraT94 those lines are looking good!
