Post Pill Party - The Line Dance

@Juno231 your chart looks great...I’m saying no more 🤣

@Gracie2021 that’s interessting about the CB opks do you think they are worth the money?

@minipilling I really wouldn’t read too much into this bleed, I agree and think it’s down to the few pills you took.

@Flowers222 your chart also looks good!

@Lovebug06 sounds like your much more positive, I tend to start around CD9/10 but I don’t ovulate until around CD18 so depending on when you ovulate really!

More really wierd dreams this morning, I think I tend to get these every LP but I definitely had them last cycle too. I’ve been kind of distracted because my gums are sooooo sore, near the back they are all tender and the front bled soo much last night when I brushed them 😭

Chart just because 🙃

@Flowers222 that looks so promising. Lovely temps going up. Fingers crossed for you. Also wow you really got the H OPKs for so long.

@minipilling I'd bet on it being a withdrawal bleed too even after just two polls. It's amazing how the pill can mess things around. Hopefully you're reset for a normal cycle ahead.

@Lovebug06 can completely understand needing to step away for a minute. I find I need a little bit of distance at the end of each cycle for a week or so to reset my mind and shore the defenses back up.

Hope you can find a rhythm with the OPKs that doesn't stress you out and instead can just use as a tool. Do you have a regular enough ovulation that you could just use them for a selected range of time each month and that way limit the stress a bit maybe? I also find the CB advanced much better for stress as they use FMU so if it's negative you can then forget about it and go on with your day instead of the cheapies which are best in the afternoon and therefore in your mind for the day a bit more. Also no ambiguity about how dark lines are etc.

Hi all,

I needed a couple of days away from baby stuff.

Okay so big news for me.
Well not really to everyone else at all but it's a big deal to me.

I'm gonna start the opks again. From my previous posts you guys may remember I stopped doing them. I haven't done one since last august.my DH has said it for the last couple of months but I said no. This time I said no, but then thought I could give it a go this month and see. Im on cycle 16 I need to try it again.

I know you guys probably won't understand, but the stress it made me feel is why I stopped, and I didn't want to feel like it was taking over my life anymore. So I let go of that stress, chilled out(apart from when AF was due) , but still nothing all these months later. So the whole 'just relax it'll happen' is bullshit 😂

So yeah the upset of this week, when I was late and we finally thought maybe it had happened... Im now coming back to test with you all!

I feel like a newbie again. Shall. I start CD7?

@Moocher90 sorry it looks like af is on the way x

@minipilling I do think you are having a withdrawal bleed because you took the contraceptive pill for 2 days. So this might reset your cycle and you won't get another bleed in 10 days.

@Juno231 🤞🤞🤞 great looking chart.

I'm 8dpo today and had a slight temp rise too. Though OvuSense is saying I am 6dpo which I am really hoping not as I don't have good coverage then. As my first month tracking RHR I am finding it interesting how it seems to be following my temps.

@Kay00 sorry, I was probably unclear in the timings! I had my period as expected on the 17th March. It finished on the 25th March. I took a pill on the 26th and 27th but my OPK was still peak on the 28th so I had sex that evening just as a last try and didn't take any more pills. Started this current bleed on the 1st April :/

@minipilling sorry your body is being so confusing. I would imagine this is your proper period (you earlier bleed bring your withdrawal bleed after you 2 x contraceptive pills), and everything is reset. In which case you should get a normal cycle ahead of you rather than another period in 10 days xx

Still bleeding heavily over here :( Praying that it stops soon because my period is due again in ten days! I did also wonder if it might be a super early loss/rejected egg after fertilisation (which would have been 5/6 days ago) but not sure if that can happen before implantation.

@MissC07 I'm so glad you had a good weekend and got to see your friend. Makes all the difference in the world. Dead right to enjoy the crisps abd champagne too!!

@Gracie2021 that’s interesting to know and I have wondered if we are doing it too early as well! I know the surge means it could happen between 24-48 hours after and that’s definitely something I didn’t realise for the first few months!

@Kay00 ah tbh it's probably down to him finding me sobbing on the couch last month after realizing my faint lines were both indents. I also scared him by saying we were only a couple months off the year and having to get testing done etc. but yeah really appreciated it. With his job, DTD and timing can be tricky. Glad you have no issues there, showing up for DTD is the essential component 😂😂

Fingers crossed for you for the temp rise tomorrow. We'll be waiting together by the sounds of things.

@Moocher90 glad things are moving for you and you can start the thyroid meds. Hope you're not in limbo for too long before AF. Hope you have some treats lined up for the weekend xxxx

@gracie2021 interesting! I think there's a lot to be said for DTD every other day throughout the cycle

@moocher90 ☹ bum. Do you have some positives to take away from this cycle?

@gracie2021 that's lovely to hear... rarely is my OH in my good books. He's a nice guy (obviously or I would have kicked him out years ago 😆) but he's very selfish 🙄 luckily he's a big fan of DTD otherwise we'd never be in with a chance of conception!

One thing where I think we went wrong also in case it's of help to anyone else.... I was using the Easy@home OPKs by themselves but when I added the CB advanced, I realized we'd be stopping DTD too early every month. For me using both, you can see the peaks on the CB advanced hit after the Easy@home OPKs surge. So if you get the stop the day after the surge on the Easy@home ones, based on the CB I haven't even ovulated yet. Just interesting so you thought I'd share in case helps anyone else. I'm a complete convert to the CB advanced.

@Juno231 yes I know I clearly ovulated which is great and also my LP is good so I think it’s just a matter of a waiting game of when egg finally meets sperm and makes a baby which is easier said then done.

I had my thyroid Ultrasound and got to wait for results. I’m sure I could hear him when he was using his dictaphone that I have nodules on left side of my thyroid.

Got day 3 bloods and thyroid bloods hopefully on Weds providing period shows up on Monday and I can also start my thyroid meds too.

@juno231 😁😁😁 🤞🤞🤞 im saying nothing.

I had a temping disaster this morning 😆 I got up, give the dog some stritches, went downstairs for a wee, got back into bed and took a big drink of water... then my 6am alarm went off 😆😆😆 my temp was 35.72 so obviously discounted.

1.5 hour snooze later my temp was 36.3 adjusted back to 36.13. Hopefully temp rise will happen tomorrow 🙏

@Juno231 🎉🤞🎉🎉🤞🤞🎉🤞 every finger crossed for you here.

@Moocher90 sorry to hear it. So disheartening when you see those temps drop.

@mrsmacmc sorry to hear you're still waiting for answers. Everything medical seems to be so backed up right now. Hope you're able to take it easy today and recharge the batteries a bit.

@LauraT94 so so good to hear that you're doing well. Must have been so lovely seeing the little bean. Amazing how time will fly.

@Kay00 hope you have an active and productive weekend 😁🤣 🍍

@ChinChilly 🤞 🤞

Feeling a lot of love for my husband this month. Even working off two hours sleep one night he went the extra mile. Not only in with a shot when I thought it would be a write off, it's actually the best coverage we've ever had. Crossing all the fingers this month and he'll be treated like a prince this weekend.

@Moocher90 I'm sorry :( Did you find bbt helpful at all this cycle?

@mrsmacmc no need to be sorry! There's def something funky going on so I hope you get that scan sorted soon!

@Kay00 this is the second egg post my hsg but I'm a bit annoyed I'll miss the next one due to the laparoscopy. I think the benefits are only meant to last 3-4 months.

Had a temp rise today - my cruel body is trolling me 😅

no point in me testing now temp has plummeted to below the cover line and so has RHR so just a waiting game for when AF arrives! Onto the next cycle.

So I honestly don't know what's going on. I started this cycle with 11 day AF. Since my mother of all AF in Nov, my 🩸 changed from 5 to 8 days. Currently CD14, feeling like someone has pulled my batteries today and I've got a light result on OPK, BD even to 'take one for the team' 😂 isn't on the cards tonight. Still nothing about scan at the hospital. Sorry a bit of a 'woes me' post tonight as getting lost in my head which led to me reading threads on the infertility board.

@Juno231 I hope the witch doesn't show for you ✨ ❤️

@Kay00 everything crossed for you ✨ ❤️

Baby dust ✨ to all xx

@juno231 I hope she doesn't show! It's about time that witch missed the bus! How long since your HyCoSi?? I'm slowly reading through the fertility clinic thread to get a better idea of what to expect... its very interesting.

@chinchilly I'll be so upset if I don't get a temp rise after this blazing OPK 😆 I did another this afternoon and it was 250% !! I am eating a very restrictive diet to reduce inflammation and control my symptoms AND I have been taking Soy Isoflavones 🙃

@LauraT94 ooh I didn't realise they could give you antibiotics for it whilst pregnant - I've always worried about being stuck with a uti and no meds!

@Kay00 @chinchilly thanks but I have had promising symptoms so many times that I'm sure AF will show right on time 😅

@Kay00 I’m keeping everything crossed for ovulation for you, I think with an OPK like that you will.....reminds me I’ve got a pineapple in the kitchen better getting chopping it up! 🍍

@laurat94 so lovely to hear your little bean is growing and has a little heart beat 💓

@juno231 ooohh... those sound like promising symptoms... are they unusual for you? 😁

@chinchilly you too!! Fingers crossed your 7dpo and the bleeding is something exciting 🤞🤞

@flowers222 hope you don't catch conjunctivitis 😬😬😬

I really hope I ovulate. We DTD this morning and will go again tomorrow morning. I have bought a pinapple in hopeful anticipation 😆😆😆🍍🍍🍍

@Juno231 not gonna lie your symptoms sound great! 🤞🏼... I’ve had some cramps this afternoon like mild period pains, I hate this whole wait and see part.
