No idea how we managed to smash through 1,000 messages (40% of them are probably me anyway, ha!) in such a short space of time, but a new thread is needed for the post pill TTC party, so here it is...

Tag anyone I've forgotten please, and new party-goers always welcome :)

Ahh thank you @PumpkinEverything that’s helpful, going to check again when I get home from work! My last peak only lasted a few hours 🤔

I can’t believe you managed to hold out telling him until Monday, you have such will power!!

@Trying4one glad everything is ok, how lovely you’ll get to hear the heartbeat ❤️

CharWils · 21/10/2020 17:07

@ChinChilly I only saw my peak and it was gone within the space of a couple of hours max. This was the peak that I got my BFP on.

@PumpkinEverything ahh glad you have told him. I feel you with the sore boobs!
I'm on 4 plus 6 days today going on my ovulation date so just behind you. However GP etc have taken last period date which puts me at 5 plus 6 (it took me 3 weeks to ovulate this cycle)
I rang the docs last week and they don't actually do anything until you are about 10 weeks which I found a bit of a shock. I'm based in the south east and for me they just gave me a link so that I could self refer which I did last Thursday. I got a call today saying they had received my details and would get my booking appt over the phone at the latest 25th November which is 10 plus 6 weeks, I think they just take loads of details then and it's at that point they refer me for my first scan which should be between 12-13 plus 4 weeks.
Soooo long to wait but hope that helps!

@ChinChilly Def had evening peaks before and considering femometer deemed yours to be peak I'd just go with that.

7DPO and have had cramps on and off today. Temp went back up after my 6DPO dip as well, which I'm relieved about. Not had pre AF cramps before but I assume they're gonna be food rather than hormone related lol.

FTM94 · 21/10/2020 17:40

@CharWils do you know how it will work with the dating if they are going by your period but you know you ovulated later? Do you think they might alter the date at your dating scan? X

CharWils · 21/10/2020 17:45

@FTM94 yes I think they can tell on the measurements at the scan how many weeks you are so until then it's just a guesstimate whatever you go on, pretty sure given I know ovulation date though it will be more in line with that 🤯

ChinChilly · 21/10/2020 17:57

Thanks @CharWils seeing yours was helpful! Glad you are doing well aswell!

@Juno231 fingers crossed for you, sounds good though!

I POAS a stick about and hour ago and it is pretty much gone now, DTD the night before last night, last night and planning to tonight to cover all bases 😂

AMS19 · 21/10/2020 18:39

LADIES!!! ARRRGGGGHHH. This is way TMI but if said this to anyone else I would probably be locked away. I've jsut been to the toilet and had EWCM!! Loads of it!! It must be the evening primrose oil. If that had happened a month ago I wouldnt have had a clue what it was and probably would have worried. Now I'm doing a little excited dance inside. I know it means nothing but I've never had it before so very exciting!!

Okay now to be a normal human again that doesn't get excited over gross body fluids 😂😂

Flowerbudd · 21/10/2020 19:10

@AMS19 yaaaaay 😀 thats brilliant news! Get BD for sure!

Haha! Gotta love this place ☺️

AMS19 · 21/10/2020 19:16

😂😂😂 im honestly am losing the plot! Bad news was my OPK was completely negative earlier so don't think anything is actually happening ovulation wise. Plus I'm only CD8, but it is exciting nonetheless!

Juno231 · 21/10/2020 19:23

@AMS19 YES! I seriously swear by EPO for ewcm!! Glad it worked for you 😁

CharWils · 21/10/2020 19:53

@ChinChilly that's exactly what I did! Good luck 🤞

AMS19 · 21/10/2020 20:00

Thanks @Flowerbudd @Juno231 @CharWils

It is literally down to the advice of you girls on EPO this is even happening. So grateful 🙏

ChinChilly · 21/10/2020 20:02

@AMS19 I had EWCM CD11 I pretty sure I’m ovulating today CD15, my EWCM has been really off and on since then

Thanks @CharWils hope this is my lucky month!

I’ve been having sharp stabbing pains in my right side today but I’m feeling really bloated tonight so I’m thinking maybe too much bread today 😂😂

AMS19 · 21/10/2020 20:04

@ChinChilly I'm only CD8 so way off ovulating if I do at all but it is all same wins in this game isnt it!

Sperr · 21/10/2020 20:07

My thermometer just arrived! I can’t wait to start temping.... just in time as well as AF is pretty much finished! Do you start using OPK as soon as AF finishes?

Kay00 · 21/10/2020 20:10

@ams19 haha 😄 yes, the EPO did the same for me this cycle! Woop!!

AMS19 · 21/10/2020 20:12

@Sperr I started testing yesterday but that was quite early. I think most people start around CD10, but depends when you ovulate! I think around 5 days before ovulation would be a good time?! Im definitely not the expert. Super exciting you can start your chart now

AMS19 · 21/10/2020 20:12

@Kay00 amazing!!what CD are you now?

Kay00 · 21/10/2020 20:16

@sperr how exciting! I start using OPKs at 10 days + after AF... but then I didn't ovulate until cycle day 30 😆

Sperr · 21/10/2020 20:25

@Kay00 @AMS19 thanks! I’m pretty excited just to have a chart 😂. I saw on SMEP that they say start from CD10 but I may just do one a day from tomorrow anyways! This is my first proper month so who knows what will happen- I’m counting last month as a trial run since the pill could have messed things up 🤣

AMS19 · 21/10/2020 20:30

@Sperr if you have the cheapies why not! This is my first proper cycle so I started super early. My first cycle off the pill was a perfect 28 days from withdrawal bleed but I dont think I ovulated. So thought it was best to start a bit early. I quite like doing it, it is a little game. Although mine have all been big fat zeros so far!!

Kay00 · 21/10/2020 20:35

@ams19 well. Im on CD30, but I'm either 8DPO or I'm ovulating today 🤪 😂 I think I'm ovulating today as my temp rise after CD22 wasn't high enough to confirm ovulation and I have had a few more days of high libido and fertile CM. I suppose ill know after a few days of higher temperatures!

AMS19 · 21/10/2020 20:38

Oh wow yeah that is a huge temp rise. Well...either way you've covered both dates Well! Great chart!!

Kay00 · 21/10/2020 20:44

Yes, haha, we have DTD a LOT this time 🤣 my poor OH... last night I jumped on him and he tried to wriggle out of it by saying he had a headache 🤣 needless to say I won!
