Post Pill Party - Cocktail Club

@Charliecircle11 you'll just have to pretend to be teenagers again sneaking around being silent 🤣

@ChinChilly you should be able to see something on the scan by 7 weeks I think, definitely by 8 weeks. The nausea sounds awful, have you found anything that eases it?

@MissM94 ahh thank you for asking! I'm ok I'm just really tired pretty much all the time. The nausea has kicked in the last few days so I just walk round randomly heaving. Most foods do not appeal to me at all so I'm finding it hard to eat a balanced diet. According to my LMP I'm 7 weeks today so hoping to book in an early scan over the next 2 weeks.

Still no AF for me.. hope everyone's well!
How are you doing @ChinChilly ..I'm very invested in your pregnancy 😂

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow we are away over the weekend at my in laws, so no DTD! Hoping if I get my peak tomorrow and have DTD tonight, that will be sufficient! I found that my discharge does have blood for a few days after my period as stopped and if I have DTD, can aggravate it sometimes. Fingers crossed your peak coincides with date night 😊

Only just seen this! Thanks for adding me in the list 🥰

No news here, according to ovusense I ovulated at the weekend, later than normal so my initial fears we'd miss is as would be away and room sharing with DD were irrelevant as we were back home, fingers crossed now! I had hyperemesis with DD and was being sick before my positive test last time. Felt really nauseous eating dinner last night to the point I gave up and just ate some bread, but unless I ovulated earlier than chart suggests then it's probably too early for that to mean anything!

Hope you're all doing ok xx

@Charliecircle11 I get the obsessing! I've been using cheapy opks for a few days now. All flagging up as 0% on femometer but some do have a very faint second line. I've got egg white cm now though, so hopefully a peak over the weekend? We've got a babysitter for dc1 this weekend and are having a date night so fingers crossed!
The bleeding has stopped, it was basically black cm rather than bleeding really. I'm going to assume it was old blood coming out with my cm? Just noticeable as there was more of it than I ever got on the pill.

Fingers crossed for ovulation / bfp for everyone

@Gracie2021 I’ve just ordered some cheap ones off amazon. I’ll test again tonight and see if it changes to a fixed. I’ve only been off the pill 10 days, so probably all up in the air anyway. We keep DTD on the flashy smiley faces day so hopefully that’s enough!

Taking a relaxed approach this month here. Using OPKs but don’t think I’ll bother even temping for ovulation. CD12/13ish I think. Having trouble getting through to anyone to chase my referral so that’s my little project this month. Also got assigned the social update in our quarterly calls in work which are 90% baby and pregnancy announcements so that’s a bit of a low but what can you do.

@WhirlingD one of those lines looked to have too much colour for an indent so keeping the fingers crossed for you.

@Juno231 hope AF holds off and it’s just a fluke 🤞

@Kay00 here’s hoping you’re not having to find a quiet corner of the woods for a quickie. Enjoy the camping and here’s hoping you have another timely ovulation this month.

@Charliecircle11 I had four flashies last month and two the month before so for me it varies. I also have rapid surges so I test in the afternoon with a cheapie and if I see a surge I’ll retest with the advanced then as I’ve gotten a flashy in the morning and a peak in the afternoon before. But I don’t want two a day unless the cheapie shows something. Hope that makes sense.

@MrsHInch sorry about the negative result but hope you can enjoy your weekend away and fingers crossed you get a late positive x

Well I got up for a wee at 3am and had lots of pink and red blood and a few little clots. I'm only 10DPO? This never happens to me. Still spotting this morning. Hoping it's a fluke and not AF showing up early...

@WhirlingD I echo Kay00 to say I've never had a faint line and you've got TWO so that's very promising! Fingers crossed for you.

Another flashy smiley face for me on the CB advanced, I already want to punch it’s smug face 😂😂

@WhirlingD I definitely see it on both as the others said leave it a few days and try again but as for FRER the line of my FRER was rubbish compared to the cheapies and the clearblue. I've seen a couple of posts on her about dodgy FRER. I started using 'answer one step' tests the look very similar to FRERs but without the branding and I found those the best. Fingers crossed for you!

@whirlingD well I've never had a hint of a line on an IC, let alone two! I'd say it's possible you're only 8 or 9DPO so it could still be super early. Plus I have heard plenty of stories of people getting stringer lines later on in the day rather than with FMU.

Best thing would be to leave it, try to relax tomorrow and test again on Saturday. Easier said than done though!! 🤞🤞🤞

@WhirlingD maybe test on weekend as hopefully by then you either are of you are not. It’s does appear to have some form of line but it could be a dye run as well x I would suspect a free would have picked it up though as they are more sensitive then the cheapie ones.

One on left is Tuesday night, but pic taken next morning. One on right is Wednesday morning.

@Charliecircle11 I go from empty circle to peak. Have never seen a flashy smiley. So god knows what's going on there.

Have been having a weird few days. Wanted to have a few drinks on Tuesday so I cheapie tested in the evening. It was CD22 and 10 days post static smiley so god knows how many days DPO (if I even ovulated). Don't temp. Stark white after 10 mins so I went out for the evening. I picked up the test when I got back at midnight and it had a faint line! But it looked really odd so I expect one of those 'evap' things people talk about. Clearly an invalid reading as it had been left out so long. Had a sleepless night and tested at 6 am on a cheapie, when I was sure I saw a faint line. So I followed up with an frer on same urine and it was whiter than white. Absolutely nothing.

The lines on the cheapies were absolutely not in my mind. I'll go see if I can find them for a pic. I'll test again tomorrow evening, CD25, but of course it's hard not to obsessively Google. I know in my heart of hearts it's nothing, but that whole batch of cheapies will go in the bin on Friday when that's confirmed. I see now why people say not to test early. Just messes with your head!!

@Juno231 I’m going to test later on this afternoon to see if it changes to static 🤞 I’ve got the stitch ovulation pain on my left side, so going to listen to my body. Really hard not to put too pressure on myself, husband telling me off googling everything and talking about it 24/7. Need to chill out but so hard not to obsess

@CaptainGT we find it a bit easier if it's a quickie before we get out of bed for work in the mornings? Replace a snooze with a snuggle if you so wish. I'm sorry AF showed up though :(

@Kay00 I hope your egg plays ball second cycle in a row!

@Moocher90 lovely chart and coverage looks great! Two super fertile days so you've done well.

@Charliecircle11 I start getting EWCM like 5 days before OD so I imagine I'd have 5 flashing days before I ovulate. I know some ladies get as many as 8? So you don't have anything to worry about but hopefully it changes to a static in the next day or two. Thinking I might test on Saturday at 11dpo? Not holding my breath though.

Hey all, AF arrived yesterday. I didn't think I was that effected by it but I went on to have a really crappy day so it definitely got in there. Still feeling pretty low today.

We are not dtd enough and I know that but can't seem to balance work, commute and his schedule to have time to do it. :(

G

@Juno231 hope you get your BFP. When are you going to test?! I’m waiting for my thermometer from natural cycles but using the CB ovulation kit at the moment

@Kay00 going to test later on this arvo to see if it changes to a solid. I have the ovulation pain, so going to keep DTD and hoping for the best. Hope the weather clears for your camping, sun has come out today here after what feels like 100 days of rain!!!

@moocher90 ooh yes, looks like good coverage 👌

@charliecircle11 I don't use the fancy CB ovulation sticks, just the cheapies which are slightly different (CB also measures estrogen I think??), but I understand you can have a good few days of flashing before your solid smiley!

@juno231 sounds good, please keep us updated!

I'm on CD11 and nothing to report here. I'm going camping for the weekend so I'm hoping ovulation doesn't happen then (as I'm sharing a bed with my 10 year old niece so zero hanky panky will be happening 😆).

I ovulated last month on CD18... im hoping that wasn't just a fluke, but a result of the conceive plus ovulation support I have been taken 🤞🤞🤞 if so then I'm hoping to ovulate next week (once I'm back from camping 🙃)!

@Juno231
FF confirms ovulation and I will attach my chart for reference
U couldn’t DTD on ovulation day as I got home from work at 02:30am but did it the two days before so hopefully I’m covered

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow oh that's weird! Not sure what that could be - just still a bit of a wonky cycle coming off the pill?

@Moocher90 sounds promising! Did you time BD okay in the end?

9DPO here. RHR and temp are up for the second day in a row but I'm not holding my breath as I'm sure it's due to the jab and not a bfp!

@Kay00 how many days of flashy smiley faces do you normally get? I’ve had my third day of flashy smiley faces today, wondering when my peak is. My husband has hurt his shoulder and is complaining that my peak isn’t coming, he can have a rest then 😜😀

@MrsHInch sorry for the bfn

@Moocher90 hopefully you've ovulated!!

Not been much to report from me the past few days tbh.
Cd11 today. Woke up and I'm bleeding? Very dark almost black though so not sure if it's old blood.

@moocher90 ooh yey! Fingers crossed you have just ovulated!

@mrshInch sorry for the bfn 😔 I often get multiple LH surges (with fertile CM) before I finally ovulate. If your AF is much later this month (and you continue to get BFNs) then maybe that's what happened to you.
