Post Pill Party - Cocktail Club

@WhirlingD I've just bought some cheap opks, not quite sure when to start using them. I'm thinking maybe one a day from around cd10? If I don't like them I might invest in more expensive ones in future cycles. Hopefully you have ovulate 🤞. Hopefully you find out by a bfp rather than af though!

@Charliecircle11 congrats on the wedding but sorry about the honeymoon! Did you take a full pack of pills and stop at the end or stop mid packet? I took my last on the 12th, but I only actually took 10 from the pack I didn't finish the month.

@Moocher90 congrats on everything going through with the house! Are you moving far? Hopefully you get a completion date soon 🤞

Cd4 today and period has ended, now just waiting to hopefully ovulate 🤞🤞

@TheDaydreamBelievers that's very true 🤣

@ChinChilly probably some time around their 30th birthday, when they start worrying about you!

@TheDaydreamBelievers ahh thanks that's reassuring, I wonder when this worrying will stop 🙄

@ChinChilly my RHR also dropped at 6 weeks ish pregnant. Now I know mine didnt ultimately work out but at that point things were a-okay!

@Robyn101 I'm going to try ignore it, its dropped from 72 to 69 over the last 4 days so not a massive amount, in a fariness I've been so tired I've spent most of my times on my arse on the sofa. It's so hard to let go of watching these things 👀

Spoke to GP as well who is going to refer me to get a pelvic scan done to see if there are any issues down below. Wants to also do another set of fertility bloods as well.

So CD16 and not much going on.....lines are not particularly dark on the OPK. My ovusense chart has gone up though but oral temps haven’t. Not sure if I had a very early ovulation at didn’t test early in the cycle or I haven’t ovulated yet at all. I will carry on BD’ing just in case and will keep testing with OPKs just in case too. Will attach my ovusense chart. Anyone have any ideas?

In other news. All the searches have come back on the house we have purchased so hoping to exchange in the coming weeks and hope to be in before the stamp duty rise! Our buyers are in rented and have to give two months notice but I guess if they move in early it beats paying 5% over £250,000 purchase if we complete in July instead of June where we don’t pay they will still be saving money. I’m looking forward to getting into the new house and putting my stamp on it as we never did much in our current house as we knew it wasn’t going to be long term.

@ChinChilly please step away from the Fitbit!
My RHR was all over the place but dropped from 74 down to 68 and I was in a blind panic. That was at 6 weeks, I’m now 13 weeks and all is well. I know it’s hard but it will stress you out more keeping an eye on it x

Yeah bit disappointing but we were so lucky to get married when we did and there are lots of people that are still waiting. We will go in 10 years, after all the kids haha

@Charliecircle11 wowee that will be amazing once back on! Hopefully you could do it as a babymoon thing instead.

Thank you very much, will see how we get on 😬 we were supposed to be going to the Maldives for our honeymoon in a couple of weeks but that is off now. So decided to start now 🙏

@Charliecircle11 yes it's a guess based on your cycle being 28 days on the pill - it won't know any better until your real periods kick in again. Bear in mind that even then it's pure guesswork, so unless you do the deed (DTD) very regularly with your other half, you might want to consider ovulation sticks at some point!

Thank you! No I am using Flo to track it. Stopped the pill on Tuesday and says I am ovulating now but I guess that is my usual cycle on the pill and when I would ovulate if the pill let you?! Just going to track it on the app and see how I get on. Don’t want too much pressure on myself

@Charliecircle11 not dim at all! it stands for ovulation predictor kits - ie ovulation sticks!

Sorry for being dim but I am not down with all the lingo yet? What does OPK mean?

Glad you're OK! Are you tracking with OPKs now?

So far so good thanks, hoping that I am one of these miraculous people I have heard that experience the extra fertile few days after stopping the pill haha 😆 tracking my cycle with Flo app.

So jealous of your jab! Hopefully mine will be soon.

Welcome @Charliecircle11 how are feeling? Any symptoms from coming off yet?

I had my first vaccine yesterday! :D Had Pfizer. All good except for a sore arm. With TTC I have no idea where I'm at or what's going on ha ha think I'm going to start tracking from next cycle as I can't deal with this not knowing. TMI warning now, I'm struggling to differentiate between leftover man juice or EWCM 😅 I've had about 3 or 4 days of it maybe? But we've DTD every day this week so hard to know. When I came off the pill, exactly two weeks after the last pill I had very obvious EWCM but this time there's not as much. I'm cycle day 19 atm.

Can I join?! Just come off the pill this week 😬💪

@WhirlingD I'd guess you might be due another LH surge - carry on BD regularly just in case. I doubt a bit of tossing/turning and wine would mess up the pattern that badly. Apart from anything - getting drunk would raise your temp!

2DPO here, I'll post my chart tmr when FF has confirmed ovulation.

@TheDaydreamBelievers I had about 5 false starts in that first 101 day cycle but they were internet cheapie sort of positives. I've binned those now as they made me too stressed and upset. If AF doesn't come in a couple of weeks, I will also bin the CBs and have a complete hissy fit.

@WhirlingD I am the queen of attempted ovulation! It is super frustrating and I am sorry

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow I used to use the cheap ones from the internet and to be honest I could never tell if they were positive or not. Then I invested in the CB digital ones. I got a static smiley on CD15 so I'm hoping that was a proper LH surge. It was empty circle on CD15. So who knows. If I get AF around CD29/30 then hopefully more likely than not that I ovulated. I'm trying to be positive!

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow yeah it is a good hospital and would probably be my hospital as it's the more accessible one but the patients put me off! 😂😂
