Post Pill Party - The Line Dance

Sorry, I messed up the RCM/RCOG link:

www.rcm.org.uk/media-releases/2021/january/statement-from-rcm-and-rcog-on-covid-19-vaccinations-fertility-and-pregnancy/

@Moocher90 @ChinChilly @Melissaq94 I've had dose 1 and am booked for dose 2 (NHS Clinician). They didn't mention not TTC to me at all. There is no evidence of harm, nor any sensible way either vaccine would harm fertility or a fetus. The only reason they are not yet telling pregnant ladies to get it, is that it hasnt explicitly been tested on pregnant people (cause you aren't allowed to, but some people in the vaccine trials got unexpectedly pregnant and it was fine).

Point 4.6 on these (1 for each vaccine) from UK gov : www.gov.uk/government/publications/regulatory-approval-of-covid-19-vaccine-astrazeneca/information-for-healthcare-professionals-on-covid-19-vaccine-astrazeneca www.gov.uk/government/publications/regulatory-approval-of-pfizer-biontech-vaccine-for-covid-19/information-for-healthcare-professionals-on-pfizerbiontech-covid-19-vaccine

I also think this is quite a good summary, from vogue: www.vogue.co.uk/beauty/article/covid-vaccine-fertility

@Moocher90 @Melissaq94 I haven’t been invited for mine and I don’t think I will for a while, I’m way down the list! I’ve heard about fertility stuff but who knows how true it is!

@Tillybabs is the pregnancy okay since falling pregnant? I was told at my first one they "advise" not to start TTC until 12 weeks after my second dose! So I can't start till August now 😩
They just said they don't know enough about what could happen so that's why they advise not to, but now my friends have been telling me it's apparently reducing fertility? Anyone else heard that?

@Tillybabs sorry, I'm the complete opposite! Told I had an inflamed cervix but there's nothing wrong apparently 🤷🏼‍♀️ swabs were clear

@Moocher90 I've had my first jab, 17th of feb!

@crabette ahhh congratulations!! 💕

@Moocher90 I haven’t yet no but have had 4 texts! I think I was sent texts in error.

I asked my GP yesterday about it and she said she doesn’t know much but best to speak to the people when you go for the jab as they will know more and they do ask specific questions when you go.

I know someone who has had the jab and fell pregnant not long after.

Anyone had the covid injection yet?? Been offered it at work as I do a public racing role

Hi ladies hope all is well.

@crabette your scan is so lovely! Congratulations again.

I’m ovulating any moment. I can feel it and I have high readings today but I’m still suffering with bad thrush and it’s getting me down!

It was triggered by antibiotics I took over a month ago.

I saw the GP yesterday and she said my cervix isn’t inflamed even though it feels like it is! Or at least my vulva does. But she said it looked normal apart from some discharge and she took a swab.

It’s really getting me down. Has anyone else experienced this?

She said depending on the results I might have to have an intense course of oral treatment for it but that means I can’t take if it pregnant and can’t try. Grrrr

@Moocher90 @ChinChilly those temp rises are lovely!

Sorry I've been v absent from the board, everyone. No updates here as not really TTC but I'm 1) waiting for my APS bloods results next week and 2) my GP is referring me again for the fertility clinics because of the highly late ovulations and ?annovulatory cycles. They're also sending me for bloods again next week (thyroid, hormones, androgens). They were a nightmare to get hold of, but once I did were v helpful.

My FF app is suggesting I might be able to ovulate based on mucus changes and a slight temp uptick, but who knows. If I do ovulate this early (CD19) then the myo-inositol and D-Chiro inositol will be getting praised to the high heavens.

@Moocher90 your chart is looking great! Lovely high temps. What my temps do vary cycle to cycle. Sometimes they stay up until 14dpo, sometimes they start dropping at 10dpo. My LP tends to be 13dpo but even that can vary by a day or so.

@ChinChilly woo so glad you have had ovulation confirmed! Lovely temp rise.

@ChinChilly
I think my LP is 14 days as I’ve had a few 30 day cycles. I think by Monday I should have started AF if it comes. I guess temps over the next 2 days should indicate what’s going on

@Moocher90 I’ve only charted my temp for 3 cycles and obviously the last one was a chemical and this one isn’t finished yet but my other one started dropping at 10DPO but my LP is about 12 days so I think it depends on how long your LP is

@ChinChilly fantastic news about ovulation being confirmed.

I’m 10DPO today according to FF and still no sign of AF and temps are still on the incline. I wasn’t sure at what DPO they start to drop as I think everyone is different. I think I’m going to hold out testing though until when AF is due as surely by then I will know if AF is coming because of my temps dropping or any spotting I might get. We shall see what happens in the next couple of days. I will be distracted anyway as I am working through until Monday before I have my days off.

@FlyingGiraffe I did walk away feeling quite chuffed with myself actually 😂 my mum looks young for her age, nobody ever believes she’s old enough to have a nearly 30 year old daughter...we both work at the same local authority (different departments) but nobody ever believes us, so I’m hopeing I’ve got her genes lol

@Lovebug06 how did you get on lovely?

FF gave me crosshairs this morning YAY

@lovebug06 awww hugs 😪😪😪 hopefully its not your period 🤞🤞

@FlyingGiraffe you could always ring and see what they say, and if your not happy ring again when your doctor is back.

I've just been to the loo and there's some pink on the paper. I knew this would happen.
Its so cruel. I am never late. My acne is clearly just back to make me feel bad then. I just knew it was too good to be true and now I feel so stupid. I know I was saying it wouldn't happen but me being late I couldn't help but hope. I haven't said anything to DH, I know what he's thinking, he bought me the test, I can't bare to yet. Sat here trying my hardest not to cry.

@Kay00 and @Lovebug06 thank you so much! Will definitely DTD tomorrow 😂

@crabette congratulations! Such a beautiful scan 😊

@Kay00 that's great you've got the self referral submitted 😊 it's a really productive step and I'm so happy for you to potentially get some proper investigations. Hope they get back to you soon!

@ChinChilly 😂 your story about going to work made me giggle! I honestly dont know when I'm going to look my age! I think being a short arse (I am definitely not a giraffe! 😂) doesn't help!

@Juno231 maybe is it to do with daylight savings? Maybe it's not a bad thing? You never know...your egg might like it a little cooler! 😂

@Moocher90 great your progesterone showed ovulation 😊 my temp stays high until 2-3 days into AF. I think I'd prefer the steep drop beforehand! It's like a heads up at least 😄

@crabette beautiful scan photo 😍

I had my day 21 bloods this morning. I didnt faint 🙌 and it was actually a rather pleasant experience. I can phone for the results next week but the doctor I saw is off so it would be looked at by someone else. Not sure whether to wait for her....she seems more thorough than some of the others!

@Lovebug06 awww bless you I totally understand when you have been trying for a while and with every month more upset I can understand why you don’t want to test xx I really hope it’s positive news for you tomorrow xx

@Juno231 yes sorry progesterone 😂 think it autotyped

@Moocher90 sorry I missed your reply.
DH has got me a test I keep looking at it but I haven't. If I get as far as the morning I'll do it then. I used to be obsessed by testing, but now it's been so long I'm scared to do it. Im just scared of the negative now. I know you'll all think I'm mad!
He got a clear blue I said I thought they aren't known as very good but he keeps telling me they are the best. No idea how he would know what's the best 😂

@Juno231 thankyou. I'm no help on temps I'm afraid but fingers crossed you did ovulate.
@Ttcin2021 thankyou that's good to know.
@Kay00 that's good. How are you feeling?
@Kat668 yes I think that ovulation. I only get a small amount but I know and read of others who get it for days! Go for it!
I've still got the stomach pains. Dh has bought a test, I will leave it until the morning if I get that far, I'll be gobsmacked if I do. I used to test test test now I'm scared to do them!
@crabette congratulations!

@Moocher90 12dpo would be more than good to test, regardless of LP length. At the end of the LP the temp can either gradually go down, plummet or even stay high until a couple of days into AF. As soon as it does drop though it's a good heads up that the witch is on her way.

Glad to hear your progesterone (not testosterone I don't think!) test was good!

@Kay00 wooop for the referral!

@crabette ah look at that baba! I'm glad all is well. What's the due date now and are you planning on finding out the sex?

If I have a 14 day LP as I’m not technically due on until Monday should I avoid testing until 12DPO or on the day my period is due?

Also what do non preg charts do as you are nearing the end of the LP? Does the temp just gradually go down.... bizzare I am asking this question but it’s the first time I know I have definitely ovulated 😂

My let’s get checked results came back for my progesterone test I sent yesterday and has confirmed the testosterone was high enough to indicate I ovulated.

@crabette that’s a beautiful scan pic 😍😍😍
