Post Pill Party - The Line Dance

@Elsie2021 I'm so sorry 😞

@ChinChilly sorry about the bfn. Hopefully it's just early days for you yet.

I think I'm out. I tested yesterday and it was a bfn. I also had a bit more spotting. My temperature is still high i think but I've had disrupted sleep and taken it at 4.30am the last two nights. The converted temp is still way above the cover line but looking back at last month it was similar. It didn't drop until 14dpo and then the heavier fresh bleeding started so I might have a few more days of this stop-start spotting to go yet. Nevermind...onto cycle 9! OH has been great and agreed to dtd every other day from after AF has finished til confirmed ovulation. I think he was getting hung up on my opks and thinking it was pointless without it being a peak or flashing smiley but considering I went from blank to peak last cycle I think we maybe missed out on some fertile days.

Hope everyone is enjoying their bank holiday weekends. It's so lovely and sunny here today again 🌞

@Flowers222 I know, sometimes I look at it and think I can see a shadow then I give me head a wobble and remind myself I’m probably imagining it because I want to see it 😂

@LauraT94 ❤❤❤

@Elsie2021 I actually won't share the link as I've just seen @AMS19 comment above, definitely give her a message or have a search on the miscarriage/pregnancy loss board ❤️ they're both really lovely supportive groups!

@Juno231 haha funnily enough you're not the only person who's said they're surprised you could have Antibiotics when pregnant! There are loads of options. Bladder infections can quickly move to kidneys when pregnant as it's a lot harder to fully empty your bladder when you pee so the bacteria just sits there! And there's a higher risk of Miscarriage. So it's great they got it sorted for me right away.

@Elsie2021 I'm so so sorry for your loss! Yes I had a MMC in January which ended in an MVA on the 14th. It took me just under 3 weeks to get a negative on a FRER and my first period came a few days later (12th February). I counted the cycle post MVA as my first cycle trying again, although looking back at it I wasn't really in with a chance! My temps were all over the place and I had quite a short LP as I Ovulated late in the month (due to the HCG levels being too high earlier in the month!). So I actually fell pregnant again on that 'second' cycle, starting 12th Feb. Hope that makes sense! You're apparently at a lower risk of subsequent miscarriage or pre-term birth if you get pregnant within 3 months of a miscarriage so that's a fact I held on to quite strongly too. There's a really lovely thread on here about TTC post-MC that I've been on with some ladies who MC around the same time as I did. I'll post a link in my next comment! I found it really helpful as there's lots of people going through the same❤️

I'm still nervous as hell but I'm 7+2 now and had a lovely scan with a heartbeat this week so I'm clinging on to that and just thinking positive thoughts where I can! 🌈🤞🏻🌈

@Elsie2021 I am so sorry to hear that x

@Kay00 I usually get 3 days of peaks, the second day has the highest peak and I ovulate the day after that. But I do think it varies by person.

@ChinChilly sorry about the bfn. But 9dpo is really early. I think waiting until af is late is a good idea. After my chemical I know I will be super anxious about line progression so I have decided if I get a positive I will just stop testing (at least that's the plan)

Hi ladies

Just popping on to say hi! Nothing happening my end but checking in now and again on you all!

@Elsie2021 I had a mmc end of last year and we have a super supportive thread if you want to join! There is one for those experiencing a mmc and one for those ttc again after a mmc. Drop me a line if you want to come join us 🙂

Sending lots of love to everyone on here xx

@Elsie2021 I’m so sorry 😞

@Kay00 I would say after the first surge...but I’m just guessing 🤔

Happy Easter all! Curiosity got the better off me this morning so I tested and of course if was a BFN 🤣 I’m seriously going to try sit on my hands until AF does or doesn’t turn up! Had some cramps this morning so I think she may be gearing up for arrival!

@Kay00 Happy Easter! And those OPKs 😱 wow mine have never had such a high number/ gone so dark. That has to be a great sign. So happy for you.

@Juno231 great that your laparoscopy has been brought forward!

@elsie2021 hugs xxxx

Happy Easter to you all xx

I’ve just been trying to catch up with some of the thread and seen that @LauraT94, you are pregnant again?!

Is my memory correct that you were one of the lady’s that suffered a mc? :( I am so sorry, I am currently going through one myself having found out at our 12 week scan our baby stopped growing the week before.

To keep me positive I am trying to focus on trying again. Do you mind me asking how long it took you to get a negative test and also how long to fall pregnant again?

Massive congratulations to you! I hope you are able to relax and enjoy it as much as possible. I was bad enough with my last pregnancy, I dread to think how anxious I’ll be next time.

Thanks @gracie2021 and @juno231

I can assure you both that Operation Aubergine 🍆 is in action 😉😁

So AF is coming which I knew anyway due to a plummet in temp and RHR. So far it’s more spotting so not counting it as CD1 but no doubt 2mo it will be in full force. My LP was 13 days so I’m happy about that but I’m only CD27 today so my cycle wasn’t as long as expected. Going for bloods on Wednesday for thyroid and fertility hormones as I thought Day 3 would be then but day 3 will now fall on Tuesday does this really matter??? Also get to start my thyroid meds too. Once bloods done need to ring up the receptionist for endocrinology who will arrange for dr to call me, had ultrasound on my thyroid this week so hopefully get that result at the same time.

@Kay00 I'm playing the same guessing game. One thing I always get sore breasts right after ovulation so even though my temps haven't gone up, that's the sign for me that it has happened.

Shortly after ovulation, estrogen levels drop, and progesterone levels rise. In some people, these shifts in progesterone may trigger breast pain or sore nipples. If a person becomes pregnant, progesterone levels will continue to rise. This causes breast tissue changes that can make the nipples or breasts sore.

@Kay00 I've always heard it's from the first peak but god knows... Ultimately won't matter if you manage to attack OHs aubergine 😅

Despite being in this game for 10+ months, I ovulate so infrequently and catch my ovulation on OPKs even less frequently on that (!) I have a question... I had OPK at 250% yesterday and 280% today... is ovulation more likely to occur in 24-36 hour after first + OPK or the last one?

@JT90 agree I don't remember being told anything - I'm 👵🏼 though so brain might've forgotten 😆

@FlyingGiraffe Ahh okay, that’s reassuring. Tbh I was just glad she showed up! Going to start using OPK’s next week to see if I’m ovulating. Now I’ve had AF it’s easier to pinpoint the day I can start checking just incase she is regular the next one and then we can start getting to grips with when to DTD.

@ChinChilly Yeah I was expecting a good 3 months before I even got a bleed tbh, so I’m happy with 6 weeks. Just need them to regulate now so I can start looking at cycles and when I ovulate. I wish they explained these things when you chose to go on contraception! Swear I wasn’t told anything about all of this!

Hope you’re all having a lovely Easter weekend.

@Juno231 @Flowers222 I’m not sure how I feel about testing early after last month, part of me wants to know then I remeber being obsessive about the lines getting darker

@Gracie2021 I was getting ready to throw than bloody flashing smiley face out the window towards the end 😂

@ChinChilly looks like we ovulated on the same day then! I was considering testing on Monday but might try to hold out until 12dpo. When do you think you will test?

@Juno231 I think you are right. I also think FF is only giving me a dotted crosshairs because my cb opks and ic opks didn't match up on when my peak was.

@Gracie2021 yeah I'm hoping something comes through the post soon. Toying wether or not to go private using DH private health but don't know where to begin asking for a scan.

@Juno231 it's the lengthening of my bleed that's concerning me the most. Feeling a bit flat today but mum is coming to sit in the garden for a bit

@Lovebug06 completely get where you are coming from. hugs

@minipilling I find doing some stretches helps with cramps too - DH giggles at me as I'm hyper mobile so can get into some pretty strange stretch shapes 😆

Hope the Easter Bunny brings you all some nice treats ❤️❤️

@chinchilly it's a gorgeous chart really! Are you planning on testing pre AF?

@Flowers222 I'd def go with FF rather than ovusense - it ties in much better with the opks.

@Juno231 I think you were right, I took away the second positive OPK as my peak was on 26th March and it’s pushed O back to CD18

Thanks guys. I'm just trying to chill and breathe through the cramps! Not moving from bed!

Best of luck to everyone else this month x
