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.

@Juno231 feeling slightly better at the mo after a horrible bladder infection and antibiotics that made me🤢 morning sickness is at a manageable level and after seeing our Bean and heartbeat yesterday it makes it all worth it! Feeling slightly more real now which is lovely ❤️🌈 other than that I'm just exhausted all the time 😂

Sounds like quite a few of you have some exciting TWW symptoms! 🤞🏻 For you all!

Juno231 · 02/04/2021 20:09

@chinchilly I think you're 7dpo so aligns with implantation 🙌

@Kay00 HECK YEAH 🎉🎉🎉

@FlyingGiraffe I'm 8dpo and am trying not to symptom spot but it's not going great! Had a spot of blood at 6dpo, my temp went up since. Pinchy/achiness on my right side at 6dpo as well and today I've had loads of creamy cm (had to change my pants!) and my cervix is high and soft. Fingers crossed for us.

@LauraT94 how are you feeling? Lovely to hear from you!

@Gracie2021 omg SIL needs a smack 🙄

LauraT94 · 02/04/2021 19:26

Thank you everyone for your lovely messages ❤️

Sending lots of baby dust to you all!

mrsmacmc · 02/04/2021 18:51

@LauraT94 lovely news ❤️ ✨

ChinChilly · 02/04/2021 16:51

I had a tiny bit of brown discharge this afternoon...surely too early to be anything implantation related...I’m between 5-7dpo 🤔

Moocher90 · 02/04/2021 16:32

@Kay00 fingers crossed for ovulation!!

@FlyingGiraffe temp did go up slightly but I don’t know tbh what to make of it. My sense of smell seems to be heightened and things are tasting slightly different and not sure why... prob won’t test until after Monday though as I have a feeling AF will come get me anyway. Cervix is low but it’s not rock hard as if AF is coming just yet.

Flowers222 · 02/04/2021 13:07

@Kay00 that is a blazing positive!! 🎉

Flowers222 · 02/04/2021 13:07

@FlyingGiraffe your temps are lovely and high. Hopefully the bleeding will stop. 🤞 it is implantation bleeding! It is nice being able to meet with friends now, even if it means being a little cold sat in the garden.

So my OH has just been told he has conjunctivitis. But what I didn't know was that he put his infected contact lenses in my contact lens pot yesterday. So I went to put mine in today and wondered why they were blurry. Turns out they were his. So really hoping I haven't managed to give myself conjunctivitis 😩

ChinChilly · 02/04/2021 12:51

@Kay00 wow, look at that! 🎉

Gracie2021 · 02/04/2021 12:49

@Kay00 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

@FlyingGiraffe enjoy your walk. Fingers crossed for you and hope you can stay distracted.

Kay00 · 02/04/2021 12:37

In other news.... 233% eeekk!! Hope I ovulate 🤞🤞🤞

@Flowers222 No it wasnt a lot. I feel like I don't have a normal way of AF showing up 😂 I usually have super early spotting but theres been no pattern to when that's started or how. I think that's given me the excuse not to go wasting my last frer anyway! (I have more coming on Monday but let's not talk about that! 😂) My temp went back up this morning. I actually took it half an hour early - hence the triangle. I also had one from last Sunday with daylight savings but that was technically my normal time. Your weekend plans sound lovely. I'm meeting a friend for a slow waddle as she's about 27 weeks pregnant! And then a few more walks planned for the other days. Just nice having 4 days off! Although the distraction of work right now would be useful!

@JT90 my periods were abit wierd for a while, my GO said cycles can take about 6 months to get back to normal.

@minipilling I agree with everybody else it was probably the 2 pills that sent things abit crazy.

@LauraT94 wow, that is going so quick, glad evergthing is going well.

@FlyingGiraffe my temp did go back up. Wierd thing is I remember last cycle I had a dream about my car being stolen that felt so real I had to look out the window ans check it was still there...and exaclty the same happened last night 🤨 also i think IB can last a couple of days

Flowers222 · 02/04/2021 09:24

@FlyingGiraffe all those symptoms sound promising? Is it a lot of blood with any of the usual af symptoms? At 8dpo it could be implantation bleeding. What are your temps doing?

FlyingGiraffe · 02/04/2021 09:22

I tempted fate! I just went to the bathroom and there was a bit of blood! 😭 Typical!

Flowers222 · 02/04/2021 09:22

@LauraT94 I'm really glad to hear everything is going well! Please do keep us updated 😊

Morning girls, I am also another one that has gone quiet recently. I'm 7dpo with nothing to report. My temps are a little lower and a bit more up and down than normal, so not feeling hopefully this cycle.

Anyone doing anything exciting for the long weekend? We are going to be building decking in our garden, then plan on visiting a local heritage site for a nice walk on Sunday and then hoping to host a bbq with some friends on Monday, assuming it doesn't snow as currently predicted 🙃

FlyingGiraffe · 02/04/2021 09:18

@minipilling Sorry you're bleeding again so soon. Maybe @Cams50 is right with her theory that the couple of pills could have done it. Hope it settles down soon.

@LauraT94 6+6 already?! So pleased your scan went well 💕

@TheDaydreamBelievers how are you getting on? Any sign of ovulation now you're trying the new supplements?

@Moocher90 what day are you due AF? Any other symptoms? What did your temp do this morning?

@Gracie2021 that's really not too considerate of your friend with the April fools joke. I remember someone Facebook hacking OH years ago saying I was pregnant! I was raging! Thankfully we were a different time zone to family at the time so I managed to get it taken down before my poor mother had the shock of her life!

@ChinChilly did your temp go back up this morning?

@JT90 I came off the pill last May and I've had regular cycles but my periods were so light for the first 4 months - all with old dark bleeding. Then suddenly they changed. I think it just takes a while for your body to settle after contraceptives.

Is anyone testing in the next few days? I'm 8dpo today and have been symptom spotting up a storm! 😂 I really want to test on Sunday but think maybe I'm tempting fate. I had v.v.light pink on the tissue yesterday afternoon but nothing since. I was also super dizzy yesterday and my boobs feel really heavy. Oh and I had a sharp pain two nights ago that took my breath away a little! I dont want to get my hopes up but it's hard not to every month isnt it?! 🙈

minipilling · 02/04/2021 08:44

@Cams50 yes, DH reckons that's what it is. Such a bugger though if it's just from two pills! It's basically like a period now with cramps to match. So tired!

Cams50 · 02/04/2021 07:47

@LauraT94 aww that’s lovely news!! 😍So glad it’s going well. Please do keep us updated. Your little prawn 😂

@minipilling sorry about the bleeding 😞 I wouldn’t worry. I wonder if it’s because you went back on the pill for those couple of days? Maybe it just messed up your cycle a little bit x

MissC07 · 02/04/2021 07:39

@JT90 mine have also only lasted 2 days since coming off the pill (I've been off it 5 months now). I'm also on 40+ day plus cycles. It can take a while for bodies to go back to 'normal' post pill. I'd def recommend temping if you don't already as it gives me a clearer pic of what's going on 😀

minipilling · 02/04/2021 00:27

Update: bleeding has continued so I doubt implantation, but it's become quite a lot heavier too with some small clots. I double checked and my last period only finished a week ago. Pretty worried right now :/

JT90 · 02/04/2021 00:07

So, a while ago I posted I was waiting for my first AF after finishing the patch middle of February and that I thought she was coming...Well, she did. Woohoo! On the Monday morning, so 6 weeks after my withdrawal bleed, meaning I wasn’t quite at my 28 day cycle to keep me regular so hoping the next one straightens out a little and I’m not waiting another 42 days. But, at least I know she’s working which is the main thing as I truly thought I would be waiting 3 months for my first one! However, she only lasted 2 days? Is this normal coming off contraception? My patch bleeds were 4/5 days. Yet this one started Monday morning as soon as I went for my morning wee, lasted all that day. Was there Tuesday morning, trailed off though the day, and come Wednesday I had no blood on the pad whatsoever. Yet still experienced cramps all Wednesday and slightly today without any blood. So weird!

Congrats to those who have caught baby dust! Star

I honestly haven’t got a clue how you girls remember what each of you have said btw, so I’m not being rude! Halo I go to write and just can’t remember any tag names so if I’m missing a trick to reply to you please let me know!

Moocher90 · 01/04/2021 22:08

@LauraT94 glad to hear little bean is doing well :) xx

LauraT94 · 01/04/2021 22:03

@Moocher90 @ChinChilly yes I tested the LH in early pregnancy and it was true for me! They got gradually stronger as AF was due! Then blazing positives from AF due date onwards.

Sorry I've been very AWOL guys, I got really obsessive with trawling MN threads about pregnancy post-MC and it wasn't a healthy habit so I just took some time off!

But happy news to share today, I had my first scan this afternoon! I'm 6+6 and Bean is measuring bang on with a lovely strong heartbeat! I'm not sure if it might be a bit insensitive to post a pic so I'll err on the side of caution, though you're not missing much as it just looks like a prawn at this stage 😂 morning sickness and bladder infection are kicking my arse but it's all worth it after this scan! ❤️

Moocher90 · 01/04/2021 21:36
