Post Pill Party - The Line Dance

@LauraT94 those are so dark. Great reassurance I'm sure. Fingers crossed the 4 weeks go quickly 🤞

@LauraT94 those lines are getting darker and the 13dpo looks good to me! 😃

@LauraT94 your last FRER lines are darker than mine ever got! Exciting about the scan.

@Juno231 thrush cheese 😂😂😂 all those issues listed with vaginal temping is exactly why don’t do it!

@Cams50 only 14dpo today! No massively dark lines just yet but good overall progression I think! Need to calm down on the testing but equally I have hundreds of tests in the cupboard and the progression is making me feel good even if it means nothing at this stage 😂

@Juno231 I'm sorry for the BFN but a 12 day LP is good! And that's fab about the acne going away! Definitely need to note the silver linings!

@Gracie2021 sorry you got a BFN too but 10dpo is still early! I'm feeling ok thanks, just a bit anxious! Haven't really got any pregnancy symptoms other than tiredness and being hungry! So it's very different to last time 🤷🏼‍♀️

Early scan booked for 8 weeks which is exactly 4 weeks away today! So the 9th April. Could have booked an earlier one but I feel like if I make it to 8 weeks then the scan will give me a definite answer! 🤞🏻 But I'm literally counting down the hours 😂

@Juno231 that makes sense. All comes back to "different strokes for different folks" doesn't it. @Sperr that sounds like a lovely new present. I'd say you're rolling into bed after a good soak! Enjoy.

@Gracie2021 for me personally it would be more of a faff to temp up the foof. I wear knickers and pyjama bottoms so that's more of a hassle than just sleepily shoving it in my mouth. Plus it means I'd have to skip AF temps and I like a complete data set, and it means more effort in cleaning it - especially if there are leftover swimmers in there, CM or god forbid my thrush cheese from the other month lol.

@Juno231 ahh I will remember that for next time! I’m prettty sure I have ovulated now as my cervix has closed and cm is lotiony! I need to book in my 21 day blood test. I’m so scared as I hate needles! Last time I had a blood test I passed out 😂.

@Gracie2021 I’ve just never thought to do it that way! This is only my second mouth open time in a couple of months. We just got a hot tub and I’ve never been so relaxed in my life and I was drooling in my sleep

@Cams50 fingers crossed for the SA. How many months are you trying now if you don't mind me asking? Hoping you start seeing some temp rises soon. Have you tried looking at the charts like mine function in FF. I've discovered the stats section there tells you what percentage charts like yours ended in pregnancy. Dangerous for raising hope.

@Juno231 the moods are unreal aren't they. One of the few reasons I miss the pill.... along with the skin. Pure acne here the last few months. Glad the OH got on the same rage page as you though. Always comforting to have company!

Sorry about the BFN. Same here today although not sure why I bothered testing at 10DPO anyway. We seem to be on the same rough schedule each month. Good for the company.

@Sperr @Juno231 do ye know if there's a reason more people don't temp vaginally to avoid the open mouth issue? I seem to be in the minority on that way of testing.

@Kay00 I've been reading back a bit. Bit late to the voting party but I'm option A all the way. Babas look great in red 👍👍

@TheHotelCalifornia welcome back. Glad you got your period at last and can start a fresh cycle. Sounds like you're doing a good job balancing the health and enjoyment too. I splurged on the advanced OPKs last month too. As you say it's a drop in the bucket when you factor in the total money we spend on all this stuff. Fingers crossed for you this cycle x

@LauraT94 @glow92 how are you both feeling? Hope all is going well.

@cams50 @Gracie2021 ha I did end up crying yesterday over the house stuff but mainly because I felt OH was being dismissive about all the things I said - definitely tears fuelled by hormones though. Once he realised it would be over £100 to buy a new gate door plus extras for painting it he was a bit more apologetic...

@sperr that's when you close your trap, wait for 5 min and take the temp anyway! I sleep with a mouthguard so wake up with an open mouth maybe every third day I reckon.

12DPO and had a temp rise so took a cheapie just in case but obv BFN. Spotting now so just waiting for AF to show.

@LauraT94 @cams50 although the variability of my LP is still annoying it's easy to forget and therefore not be grateful for my FLIPPIN POST PILL ACNE finally being gone. I legit didn't get a single spot this TWW whereas last year I was a bona fide pepperoni pizza face.

@Kay00 you poor thing. The inflammation sounds awful. I really hope you get some answers and solutions soon.

@Juno231 house stuff can be so stressful. Sorry you had a rubbish day and it’s so disappointing seeing the temps drop and having a shorter lp. It feels like you’re going backwards sometimes doesn’t it. Although for me that lp would be amazing 😂

@Sperr same thing happened with me!! So annoying. I woke up at 5 so decided it to take it but it was super low and I’m super clogged up at the moment - think it’s hay fever. But I went back to sleep and then woke up again, closed my mouth for a few minutes and it was much higher but I feel like I’m cheating lol.

@LauraT94 how many dpo are you now? You must be having some seriously dark lines. Any symptoms? Have you told your doc?

@ChinChilly glad you’re feeling better and starting a fresh cycle.

@Tillybabs that’s great! Super quick.

@Gracie2021 do you think AF is about to come?

5dpo here but my temps are not as good as last cycle so already feeling like it hasn’t happened and presume a short lp is inevitable as usual. Which means cycle 12 is in the horizon which is obviously a milestone I didn’t want to get to. DH has his SA next week so we’ll see how that goes I guess.

@Gracie2021 thanks yes my GP is great! I’m really happy they are moving so quickly especially with AF on the way, it cheered me up.

Hi guys, been a bit low about the whole tt thing this month so just trying to ignore it hence haven't been on here much at all. Following the same approach as you @abi555 Just catching up on all the updates now.

@Tillybabs that's fantastic it's happening so quickly for you. That's a great GP.

@Juno231 tradesmen can create such frustration. I was bawling down the phone at someone over a door yesterday. In his defense it was mainly PMS and not the door itself 😂 for the sake of some extra effort your poor cornicing and floor. Sorry about the temp drop too.

@Sperr fingers crossed for the O! @Sperr @Kay00 those are some heavy side effects. Hope ye see the benefits from taking the soy to make up for it. @Juno231 I hear you on the omega 3 burps 🙈

@ChinChilly im so sorry for your loss. Gutted for you. Mind yourself xxx

I woke up with my mouth open 😫. So I’m still on the wait and see if ovulation happened 😫😫😫.

@Sperr thank you! Fingers crossed Ovulation has already happened! 🤞🏻

@Juno231 I'm sorry it looks like you're having a short LP this cycle, seems odd after your long one last cycle! And as for the house etc... 😱 Fuming! Really feel for you.

@Kay00 I'm sorry you're feeling so shit, it really doesn't sound ideal! I have everything crossed for a clear Ovulation for you this cycle though 🤞🏻

Hi ladies. Today I got a letter with an appointment at the fertility clinic in May. I’m so shocked as my GP only referred me on Monday.

@Kay00 thank you! I better get bd’ing 😂

@Chloerobinson97 Sounds like your peak was last night and you can expect to ovulate either today or tomorrow, best jump OH today if you can!

@ChinChilly luckily I’d read about some people getting headaches so I was prepared!

@Kay00 oooh I may try them before bed!

I’ve just remembered I didn’t take my vitamin this morning but I’m already cosy in bed 🤔🤔

Hey again everyone,

I was just wondering if I could have some advice? I got my peak OPK and solid smiley yesterday at 6pm. Today I tested at 12:30 and it was still high but not peak and I’ve just done another one and the control line is lighter than the test line. What does this mean in regards to when I will or did ovulate? Does it mean I already have done? Sorry it’s just so confusing I can’t get my head around it! 😂

@Juno231 I had to complain to Halifax a couple of years ago, they changed my address to some random address and i only found out when I tried to switch my current account and it got rejected. The customer service woman even told me that I must of changed it because I would of had to produce ID, even though I obviously had no ID for this random address.

I was having a moan about it at work and one of the women i work with said Halifax changed her status on thier mortgage to ‘deceased’ and even sent her husband a bunch of flowers 😳

Good that they are on your side though, hopefully it gets sorted soon

@Kay00 @Sperr also had no idea about those side effects of the soy, sounds horrible!

@juno231 yes, the Soy is pretty powerful stuff, which was why I was so upset when I didn't ovulate at all after taking it 😫

Sounds like you'll be going down the complaint root again!

@ChinChilly @kay00 ha the silly thing is that we had such issues with them last year for our current house mortgage that we actually had to file a complaint. So really we're nuts for even going down this route again. The case manager just called and they're on our side against the surveyor and want to file a complaint on our behalf lol!

@sperr @kay00 wow had no clue about the soy side effects. Makes my omega three fishy burps seem rather pleasant...

@sperr you could trying taking the soy before bed so you sleep through any headaches. But I woke up a few times in the night with palpitations, so I'm personally going to be taking them during the day.

@Juno231 that sounds like a nightmare! I can’t see why the whole timber balcony floor makes a difference if yours isn’t timber...so annoying 🙄 We are with Halifax..We were planning a remortgage to get the bigger works done to the house but I’m not sure I can be bothered with the stress!!

@Sperr everything crossed for you 🤞🏼

@ChinChilly I have my toes crossed that my temp goes up again tomorrow 😂. Glad to hear you’re feeling a bit better xx

@Kay00 if it hasn’t worked I’m planning on taking it days 2-6 instead next cycle. I did get headaches when I took it but I just drank shit loads of water to power through the pain. One of the days I did have to take paracetamol it was that bad.
