Post Pill Party - Cocktail Club

@MissM94 I was 137 days between my withdrawal bleed and first proper period.

Then 2nd one was CD64 when I got my BFP it really really made zero sense and I was very convinced something was going on but I just tracked my temp religiously and did an OPK every morning and somehow managed to catch the rare beast that was an ovulation for me

@MissM94 I was 101 days after initial withdrawal bleed so I think I'm in bronze position. Positive OPK 14 days prior to CD101 so I'm hoping I at least ovulated that first cycle.

I'm CD21 of 2nd post pill cycle. I got a positive OPK on CD14 and jumped my partner at regular intervals around that time. Fingers crossed that by some miracle I'll get a BFP but I'd settle for AF at a normal time.

I had the Pfizer vaccine last week. But I doubt that will have much impact.

No temp rise so I've given up on that as it just stresses me out. Perhaps I'm one of those people who has no discernible temp rise. Of course, I could not be ovulating which is a possibility I'll have to investigate at some point. Might buy an OvuSense but I'll see how this cycle goes before I do that.

@TheDaydreamBelievers sending you love. Don't blame you for wanting to get away from it all.

Yeah, I guess everywhere is doing it differently @Juno231 I’m gonna keep checking the online portable for cancellations in the hope I can get one earlier. You get a big bright blue envelope here in Scotland! Also I know people who got a text for the drop in centres they’ve been doing in the areas with the Indian variant. They just had to go and wait for it but it was open till 8on which is pretty good. Just wondering how it’ll affect cycles as I know you can get a bit of a temp. Gonna try and avoid ovulation time if I can 😂😂

@MissM94 ah I'd hope it's a one off in that case! They do happen

@AllyCat31 you got a letter?! Funny how it works from area to area. I managed to book mine before I even got the text letting me know I was eligible - but I got to choose from lots of tests and times. No idea what I'm having. I think they're mean to offer Pfizer but you won't know what's available until the day. I don't mind either way though.

@Juno231 bloodyhell they are long aren't they.. but reassuring that they've both had BFP's, I almost feel abit over dramatic now 😂.. I'm 6 month off and cycles have been 34, 29, 35, 34 light 3 day periods so kind of slotted back into a nice routine but I'm currently on day 50, I haven't done anything different and haven't been stressed or anything it just seems so out of the ordinary after the past few months have been so smooth

@Juno231 will be interesting to see what happens with your cycle/symptoms. Do you know which vaccine you’re getting? Got my appointment letter through but can’t make the one they have given me so need to call them

@MissM94 I think the longest we had on here was 144ish? Pretty sure that lady got her BFP on the second cycle. TheDayDreamBeliever is second at 140 I think and she got a BFP as well, although is back here after an MC unfortunately.

How long have you been off the pill now?

Hi girls, hope you're all well!
Just want to know what's the longest cycle you've had post pill?
Currently day 50 and I know I said I would try not to overthink and put it down as a weird cycle day but I'm really thinking somethings up now.. call it intuition haha

@TheDaydreamBelievers sending you lots of love

6DPO, nothing much to report. Got my first jab tomorrow so am interested to see what impact it will have on my temp and RHR. Annoyingly it will affect any symptom spotting I might want to do in the second half of my TWW but on the other hand that's probably a good thing!

Sending you lots of love ❤️

Take care @TheDaydreamBelievers & happy birthday.

@Kay00 not full flow but my temperature dropped like a stone today - 36.77 yesterday, 36.19 today!

Ladies, I think I'm going to take a bit of time away now. This is now when our little one should have been due and Im struggling a bit mentally. Its also my bday and I keep thinking "I was meant to be a mum before xyrs". Anyways, I'll probably be back at some point

Morning ladies! Happy Monday 😊

@thedaydreambelievers so sorry AF showed! We're you 9dpo? It's odd that you had that temp spike just before AF started!? Is AF in full flow?

@AllyCat31 the worsttttttttt 😭 I'm so sick of it all

@TheDaydreamBelievers I’m in Glasgow too so depressing!

Thank you @Lovebug06 @Gracie2021 @Juno231 and anyone else that’s replied about the skin acne issue. It really got me down today but I’ve done a face steam and a good cleanse (not that skincare will help but it’ll make me feel better) and I’m gonna keep my camera off tomorrow so I can be make up free all day and hope it all heals. I’m thinking it might be the vitamin c supplements too cause I’ve heard that can break you out. Just need to stay patient and hope it gets better and not let myself get down when it’s bad!

So, AF showed. So I'm pissed off Haha.

@Lovebug06 I'm in Glasgow, literally only place in the country where you cant travel or go in someone else's house

But I think it’s going to be a little bit of time whilst I figure out when I am ovulating and then trying. My Husband thinks I’ve gone slightly mad haha my emotions are all over the place since I came off the pill. What will be will be I am sure ❤️

We've all been there @Charliecircle11 🥴

Well I’ve gone from trying not to put too much pressure on ourselves, to ordering a thermometer, downloading natural cycles and ordering ovulation tests in 4 days 😂😂😂

@Charliecircle11 haha! Are you trying at all or just "casually" removing the boundaries?

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow thankyou for that message, I was having a wobble but I'm okay now ❤️
@Cams50 it's so hard isn't it. I'm not sure if you saw my messages about DH first SA but it has to be re done to double check the results. It's being done in just under 2 weeks. So that has also meant being reffered will take even longer. But at least it's in sight and hopefully we will see if the first test was right or not
@allycat31 I have had this! It does get better it really does. It took about a year for me, I found the bad skin horrendous but it really calmed down after a year. I still get a few, it's not like it used to be but it's so much better. My hair got slightly better but I would say gets greasy a lot quicker than it used to still. Hoping that goes away soon 😂 I do have thin hair though, might depend on what kind of hair you have.

So it's great the rules mean people can now come in our houses as yesterday evening my mum turned up with flowers for me ❤️
I have realised DH SA retest is at the end of the fertile window this month. Not good. He's going to ring and see about moving it as this month will be a write off otherwise. Although I'm also not keen on moving it further away as that makes the referral further. But will see what they say.

Hope you've all had a nice weekend

I only stopped taking the pill on Tuesday and already obsessed! Need to calm down a bit haha

Hey all, feels like it's been an age since I last posted. While in the 2ww I've just really been trying to keep my mind of things and not worry/speculate too much. AF due anyday here but I only came off in March/April so could just be fluctuating on a longer cycle.

My partner and I aren't trying exactly but I know certainly for me it's impossible not to be "trying" actively. We've just pulled the goalie and will be delighted if it happens.

Do you think women can't help obsessing?

@Gracie2021 I’m actually Irish but living over here for 7 years now! So yeah I should appreciate there’s anything available. I’m being a diva 😂 but I agree just make one rule for the whole country. That’s much more fair. Yeah the hacking is crazy. Of all things to hack, terrible! Ah sorry it’s the start of the cycle. 😔 I try to switch off then AF arrives too. Hope the HSE is up and running for you this week to find out about your referral. Hope you’ve had a nice relaxing weekend x

@AllyCat31 super spotting around AF then dry skin for start of cycle. Like being a teenager again. Like you I try find the positive that it means the hormones are doing something but one thing I do miss about the pill was the nice skin (jasmin is known for it according to my doctor).

@TheDaydreamBelievers I’m really sorry it so challenging for you. It sucks and it’s really not fair. Fingers crossed that this is your cycle though and coverage sounds great.

@Cams50 that IVF system sounds so unfair. Really hope ye get lucky with it. No one is covered over for anything free here so obviously that sucks but at least everyone is on the same playing field.

Start of cycle. Not sure what day tbh as trying to switch off from it all for a couple weeks. Tried calling about our referral last week but because our health system has been hacked I’ve to try calling this week and hope they’re back up and running. What kind of lowlife do you have to be to hack a country’s medical system in the middle of a pandemic?! Apparently they’re holding cancer patients files hostage and all. Hope karma finds them.
