Post Pill Party - The Line Dance

@ChinChilly yeah I enjoyed it. And they said the whole ‘don’t stress’ thing is nonsense which was nice to hear!!

@TheHotelCalifornia I get that feeling, I didn’t have anything before my bfp last cycle it got to about 11dpo and I realised I hadn’t had my normal spotting before AF. It’s really hard to stay positive with this whole TTC malarkey.

@Cams50 I might give that podcast a go on my morning dog walk!

@TheHotelCalifornia I totally get it! And I’m sure it’s so much more frustrating with longer cycles. I’m sure you’re not out yet though. So many threads I’ve read that say they felt no symptoms and each pregnancy is different etc.

I just started listening to the Making Babies podcast. Has anyone else listened to it? I’ve really enjoyed it so far. It talks about miscarriage, IVF etc etc so not exactly an easy listen but refreshing to hear people talking openly about ttc and feel you’re not alone etc.

Hi lovely girls! Sorry I’ve been quiet lately, I’ve been keeping up with you all but haven’t felt like posting as I’ve just been waiting to ovulate and my longggggg cycle has really been getting me down. Anyway, I finally ovulated on CD27 after fifteen bloody days of the flashing smiley. We went HARD on the BD haha which I’m so pleased about, but I just don’t have a good feeling now. 5DPO and feel absolutely normal. This time on the cycle I got pregnant I had sharp stabby pains on my lower abdomen and I haven’t had any. Also I feel like my temps aren’t very high and tbh checking my temp every morning is giving me massive anxiety as I’m paranoid it’s going to just suddenly drop. I know I need to be positive and it’s still early days but I don’t know, I just don’t have a good feeling. Anyone else feeling this way? I just need to stay distracted and not think about it. I just feel really quite angry and upset that my cycles are so long and we’re not getting as many chances as those with a 28 day cycle :(

@moocher90 and @flyinggiraffe I’m so so sorry AF arrived for you both. Really hope you’re okay and looking after yourselves.

@Kay00 sooooo happy you finally ovulated and well done on your coverage! We’re nearly cycle twins 😊

@chinchilly your chart is looking so good!!!

@juno231 how are you getting on? Keeping everything crossed for you.

@flowers222 your chart looks great too! Omg all these TWW ladies, so exciting.

@Kay00 so pleased it looks like you have finally ovulated 🥳

@FlyingGiraffe thank you! 10dpo and I have been feeling nauseous all day and keep getting pinching pains but really trying not to get my hopes up 🙈 it's probably just because I am looking for symptoms. Femometer also said it's detected an implantation dip at 7dpo which it has never said before. Chart attached for fun.

@Gracie2021 great temp rise!

@ChinChilly your chart is looking great too! 🤞

@Gracie2021 it is one of the better coverages I’ve had to be honest, From AF to O I had the craziest sex drive! Kept hopeing it was a good sign 😂😂 your chart looks good now you’ve added those couple of temps in!

@chinchilly 🤞🤞🤞

@gracie2021 ah, there we go 😁 your chart is looking pretty good now!

@ChinChilly the coverage 🙌🙌🙌 fair play. Fingers crossed for you the others nearing the end of the TWW now. Would be so thrilled if ye all got good news in the next couple days.

@Kay00 I swear you and @Juno231 are the FF chart whisperers! I'd tried playing with post O temps but never occurred to me to adjust the previous. Just hadn't been in the headspace to track anything early in this cycle. Popped in some random temps now. Think it's more likely I ovulated on 18/19 tbh and the temps are just a bit off as I only got the LH surge the afternoon of CD17 and only hit peak the next day on the CB. Kind of hoping that's the case as coverage is better.

@Kay00 Could be an implantation dip, my RHR went up this morning aswell, only by 1bpm. Well I’ll hope for the best...expect the worst 😂

@moocher90 @flyinggiraffe sorry AF has arrived for you both 😔 Moocher, I wonder if yours is heavier because you were able to confirm ovulation this time? On the other hand my AFs have been getting heavier and heavier with every month since I come of the pill.

@chinchilly great chart! Looks like you have a secondary estrogen surge on 6dpo then fingers crossed an implantation dip on 9dpo 🤞🤞🤞

@gracie2021 I would assume you ovulated on CD17 or CD20 but FF hasn't given you crosshair because you need 6 x lower temps before your temp increase after ovulation. If you put in a few dud temps between CD10 and CD16 I would imagine you'll get your crosshairs 😊

@FlyingGiraffe I did notice the 1-2 pattern 😂😂 it wasn’t intentionally at the time 😂😂 I’m not feeling confident of a BFP tbh but we’ll see what happens over the next few days

That is some great coverage @ChinChilly! If you get a BFP we'll all be doing the 1-2-1-2-1-3 technique next cycle! 😂😂 Your chart is looking good still! Fingers crossed all that well timed BD worked! 🤞😁

Forgot to attach

@Kay00 woop!

@Gracie2021 that is a decent temp rise!

@FlyingGiraffe I aimed for every other day this cycle but I’m not too sure what happened 😂😂

My temp went back up abit this morning, I’m not holding out much hope though

@Kay00 🙌🥳🎉 Amazing Monday morning news!

@Gracie2021 That is one heck of a rise! I would guess FF is waiting to see what your next couple of temps do before it decides on what day it thinks you ovulated. Or maybe it's the + opk and Peak opk results confusing it? I'm sure someone like @Juno231 or @kay00 will have more of a clue!

@Moocher90 sorry AF is heavier than usual. It's good you've got things lined up like you're bloods and thyroid meds though...all a step in the right direction to that Bfp!

@juno231 I sincerly hope you wont be joining me in the 2022 baby group. @Flowers222 @ChinChilly hope AF stays away for you both too!

I'm gonna put today as CD1...I might change my mind as it's still not much more than spotting. I feel like I need support on the every other day BD this month! Does anyone else want to give it a go or at least hold me accountable?! 😂Obviously I wont be starting for a week or so! But last month we were so slack at the start so my aim is from cd8/9! My GP said to try the eod thing and when I basically followed SMEP in January I had my chemical so I figure it's worth trying...I just cant do the 3 days in a row of smep! We ran out of steam at that point! 😂

@Kay00 woohoo 🎉 🎉🎉 happy days!!! Not sure what the hell is happening with my temps here.

@Moocher90 sorry to hear it but really glad you have some support lined up this month. Does this mean you're CD4 for Wednesday's blood tests? Hope all goes well and you get lined up for the thyroid meds.

@Kay00 nice to see you have ovulated xx

CD2 today! AF has been a lot different this cycle and it’s been much heavier then usual. Onto cycle 7....

Tentative woop! 🥳🥳🥳 thanks for all your support x

@juno231 haha, that would be a good plan 😄 I'll bear it in mind in case I ever do get pregnant and have an untimely due date!

@Kay00 haha well they're all late anyway so realistically a Jan 2022 baby?? My due date would be the 16th of Dec so I've already decided that if I do get my bfp I'd do what OHs cousin did and go get a reflexology appointment in to start labour a couple of weeks early 😅

@FlyingGiraffe we can keep each other company in the 2022 group soon 😞

@FlyingGiraffe I start creating a future every time. The due date this time would be 17th Dec which is my mums birthday and I just think that would be lovely 🤞though getting some slight cramping today so not feeling really hopeful. I'm not sure why but this cycle I haven't been feeling as hopeful as I previously have. Maybe that's just what happens when you've been trying for awhile.

@Gracie2021 @FlyingGiraffe thanks both, I’ve been having pinching and pulling cramps all day, and I fell asleep for 3 hours earlier 😂😂 I’m trying to not over think anything I think it would just be too lucky to fall pregnant again straight away so I’m not holding out much hope.

@Kay00 keeping everything crossed for another temp rise tomorrow 🤞🏼

@Elsie2021 I'm so so sorry for your loss. Hope you have plenty of support around you xxxx

@FlyingGiraffe really sorry to hear it. Those milestones are so hard aren't they! Great that OH is so positive and supportive though and hope ye're having a good bank holiday weekend regardless.

@Kay00 fingers crossed for ovulation and BFP! I'm still in with a shot for 23 dec due date. What a gift that would be!!! But hopes get raised then get dashed again. Wish the due date wasn't so readily available.... you start building a little future in your head 🙈

@ChinChilly sorry about the BFN but still early days. Fingers crossed for you.

@Kay00 Fingers firmly crossed for you! For both ovulation and a bfp!🤞🤞🤞 I did the old due date calculator too before the spotting started! I think it's because it's so close to Christmas that curiosity gets the better of you! Unfortunately that means I'm into the trying for a 2022 baby group! 🥴🤞

My temp went up a little this morning and my OPKs are back to negative. I have played with some higher temps in FF over next couple of days and it's predicting ovulation was yesterday or Friday. I really hope I have 🙏🙏🙏

But... just to jinx it I looked at a due date calculator 🙈 whhyyy?? Lol. Tbh I'll just be happy to ovulate! 😆 the due date would be 25th Dec 21 🙈🙈🙈 haha!!
