Post Pill TTC – Party Harder

[TheHotelCalifornia]

Roll up, roll up, it’s time for a new thread for the ladies who are experiencing the highs and lows (mainly the lows…) of coming off the pill and TTC! Here you’ll find stories of delayed ovulation, crazy long follicular phases, crazy short follicular phases, light AFs, short luteal phases, long luteal phases, confusing temp charts and blindingly white OPKs, to name a few. This our 4th thread (I think!) and we've had a few ladies get their BFP recently which is so exciting! Join us, won’t you?

Apologies if I’ve forgotten anyone, please tag them!

@LauraT94 OK thanks :) still a mix of anxious and excited. I didn't sleep very well, and then when I was properly awake this morning my tummy was churning, think it was from feeling nervous, OK now though. I got very bloated last night though, and was a bit crampy when I lay down to sleep. As @Juno231 said, it may be worth taking a test just to check? How did you identify ovulation? x

@LauraT94 oh just read your reply, so maybe no need to test then! x

@MintGreenLife my only suggestion that I ovulated around CD16 is that I'd been doing LH tests and that day was my highest reading (still only 27% on Femometer) and it dropped off again after that.

I've just done an HCG and a LH... HCG -ve as expected. LH is the highest I've ever seen it! It came up as soon as I dipped it and Femometer says 97% and Peak!

So now rethinking everything, as I've been having EWCM the past few days, maybe I'm only just ovulating!

Only been temping since CD17 this cycle so I find that hard to read but will attach a chart from FF in case anyone can tell me if it looks like I might be ovulating at mo? Or in past few days. Would appreciate any input!

@laurat94 well your chart does not indicate that you've already ovulated but based on that opk I'd get on that 🍆 in case it's today!

@Juno231 thanks! Honestly I'm in shock haha, I had SO convinced myself AF was imminent. Now really nervous to get busy and DTD 😬😬😬

Hi ladies

My FB keeps advising thyroid testing....clearly it is listening in to my conversations. Anyway it is offering 40% off with LetsGetChecked. If anyone wants to me screenshot next time it comes up let me know

@Juno231 you do have nice neat cycles that are consistent length and similar temperatures. I'm hoping the lower temps don't indicate you're out as mine are always pretty low . Here's mine for comparison - haha... lots out outliers!

@ams19 haha... apologies for that !!

Hi ladies.

After worrying my levels were low and nothing was happening, today I had my first recorded LH surge! It ties in with yesterday when I had some CM and could feel something happening early this morning.

This Premom app is pretty accurate though as it pinpointed exactly when I would ovulate

Woohoo @MintGreenLife!!! Congratulations

@TheDaydreamBelievers thanks so much :) hope you're getting on OK! xx

@LauraT94 in my first cycle off the pill I had three LH surges before my body finally ovulated. Seeing as you've abstained all month I'm assuming your OH will be very up for DTD. Good luck! xx

@Tillybabs that's a great surge! x

@MintGreenLife it is. I went from feeling worried to excited in a short space of time lol

Thanks to those on this thread who gave me recommendations on what to use.

I got the easy@home OPKs and have been using the Premom app

Yes that is correct

@MintGreenLife I’ve just scrolled back and have seen your good news. Amazing and congratulations!!🎉🎉🎉! Im really happy for you and looks like your diet change really helped xx

@Tillybabs aww thank you :) I used the same OPKs and app and found them really good xx

Unfortunately not @MintGreenLife - MMC at 10+5 so awaiting surgery.

Wishing you all the best with your pregnancy, and I might see some of you TTC ladies here in future.

Oh @TheDaydreamBelievers that is absolutely heartbreaking!! Im so so sorry to hear your news 💔💔 sending you so much love and prayers xxx

@TheDaydreamBelievers so sorry to hear that 😔❤️❤️❤️ Best of luck. That must be so heart breaking.

@TheHotelCalifornia I’m the same! Short LP. I did try extra b and c vitamins but I found they irritated my bladder a bit so I stopped taking them. Think I’m going to start taking Agnus castus. @MintGreenLife did you take AC the whole month or just until ovulation? Thanks x

@TheDaydreamBelievers sorry to hear about your mmc :( so devastating xx

Anyone on here get sensitive nipples after a period or ache when pressure put on them?!

I’m back to spotting today but had 3 days of light period. But today my breasts are sore. Was thinking it’s too soon for them to hurt as they usually hurt after ovulation for me and never this early not sure if it’s normal or not.

@TheDaydreamBelievers I'm so sorry to hear this, I hope you have a speedy recovery and that you're able to take some time to rest and recover. Sending you love and hugs xxx

@TheDaydreamBelievers Im so sorry to hear this 😞 there are no words, just be kind to yourself and I hope you're ok xxx

@TheDaydreamBelievers I am so sorry to hear this, sending you so much love.

@TheHotelCalifornia sorry AF has arrived, hope you're ok. A bit random but has anyone ever mentioned 75mg aspirin to you for LP? Last time round my acupuncturist recommended to me and it did help me get my LP to 13-14 days. Just a suggestion - not sure if right for all.

I'm 4dpo and have crosshairs on FF so looking like I did ov last Thursday - looks like I did surge overnight and ov in afternoon, glad we DTD the night before positive opk as might have missed it!

Hello to all newbies and sending lots of luck and baby dust to you all Xx

@TheDaydreamBelievers I’m so sorry, there are no words 😔 ❤️

@thedaydreambelievers oh my 😭😭 im sorry to hear that xx sending you and your OH lots of love ❤❤❤
