Post Pill TTC - Party Hard with a Vengeance

[TheHotelCalifornia]

It’s that time again, the 5th post-pill thread of 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. Join us, won’t you? We're a lovely bunch and we'd love to help you make sense of post-pill life if we can!

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

@Ams19 goodness no I'm so sorry! There are no words :( I hope it all passes smoothly so you can move forward ❤️

@kay00 thank you so much that really helped put it into perspective and made me feel less like a leech on the NHS 🙊.

@cams50 yes getting the ball rolling was always something I was worried about and it felt justified when they told me my appointment was going to be in May considering I had my first blood test back in July 😅. You're right, by the time anything happens it'll probably be months down the line anyway and if I'm not pregnant by then I'll be grateful I got that appointment in Feb after all!

@AMS19 omg I am so sorry 😢 that the worst news 😞 sending you lots of virtual hugs, be kind to yourself!

@Kay00 I don’t think I can commit myself to such a big change until I’ve had it check again!

@Luna57 My OPKs are still super dark so I’m guessing we’ll have to go for it again tonight 😂

My surge used to come and go really quick but for the last 2 cycles it seems to have lingered for a few days, been having AF style cramps aswell which seems abit odd 🤔

@AMS19 so sorry to hear your awful news! We’re all here to virtually hold your hand through this all ❤️

@AMS19 ❤️❤️

@ChinChilly your hormones must be good and high which is great news! I had a small pain in my side about 4 days before OD which got stronger and on actual OD I even had like lightening crotch that caused me to jump and shout ow! For the last 2 months I was taking a few vitamins and supplements not sure if any of them were linked to the long pain

@AMS19 so sorry again :( we're all here to virtually hold your hand my lovely. Sending so much love to you both xxx

@ChinChilly here’s hoping this is your cycle xx

@Juno231 I really think it’s great that you have your appointment earlier then the original date and I do not think that you are a leech on the nhs for wanting what all of us want. It’s frustrating that you have put your all into it and no baby yet but your time will come whether it be before your appointment which would be lovely news to hear or during the appointments and tests they have to do xx you have wanted this for a long time and you deserve to have your appointment to get the ball rolling xx it’s not selfish or unfair to want something so badly, many women probably so thinking though when they are going through tests to check why things are not happing naturally, defo not pushing in the queue x

@AMS19 I'm so sorry to hear that 😢❤️

@Kay00 it’s the earliest if felt like my fertile week has started which is good cos last month we definitely powered out towards the end with DTD every other day. I’m hoping lots of Christmas drinking will help us along 😂 (I weirdly get really in the mood when I’m hungover, not sure if that’s an actual thing 🙈)

@Ams19 I’m so sorry to hear this. Sending lots of virtual hugs 💖💖💖

@sperr interesting 🤔 😆 I definitely am not in the mood when I'm hung over 🤣

@Luna57 I’ve POAS 5 times today 😂 I’m not an addict or anything!

@Moocher90 fingers crossed!! How are you getting on?

@AMS19 I'm so so sorry to hear that. Thinking of you. Please feel like you can vent here whenever, and if you are comfortable, talk to people. ❣️

@Kay00 thanks again❤️ I have a tendency to wobble and you just screwed my head back on!

@sperr weirdly my OH always gets in the mood when hungover! That's the one time I'm guaranteed BD 😅

@Luna57 omgggg. Congratulations to you! Don't know how you're containing it from OH. I'm terrible when I want to say something. Lovely early Christmas present, after such a shite year.

@Juno231 great news re your appointment. Hooray. Absolutely do not think you are less deserving. You've had a long journey to here, and absolutely deserve it.

@ChinChilly go on girl! 🐎🐎🐎 yes to your peak. And you @KGH5121

@Kay00 plenty of gin over Christmas sounds great 👌

@ChinChilly I’m CD8 today not much going on. I am getting very faint lines on my OPKs which I wasn’t getting before. Only 0.22 the highest so far on Premom app so I’m hoping this month I ovulate.

@moocher90 ah yes, sounds good. Im with you on CD7, hopefully you'll get a decent peak and some noticeable fertile CM soon!

@juno231 no worries chick 😘 if ever your feeling like you don't deserve to ve escalated to the fertile clinic then let me know! It's totally your time.

Im 35 years old and if I don't get anywhere in the next couple of cycles then I'll be talking to my doctor about it too. Im willing to go private too.

@ChinChilly haha I used to do that too and if they were low I didn’t log them i just threw them in the bin instead.

@Nellieee thank you! I know me neither. I’m feeling quite queasy today also. Surprised he didn’t pick up on it he ordered indian for dinner and I couldn’t stomach it and indian is my fave. Didn’t even question it actually haha.

This sounds so silly but I think my cocker spaniel can sense something with me. He’s being so needy and wanting to lie on my belly and keeps sniffing it. He’s our little 5 year old rescue so is quite anxious and he keeps whimpering today. My other dog couldn’t care less my boobs and womb are like magnets for her feet thankfully she’s only a small dog

@AMS19 So sorry to hear your news. Sending you lots of virtual hugs and support

Thanks so much ladies for all the messages. Pretty gutted but just have to accept it wasn't meant to be this time xx

@Luna57 I do that, I just throw them away like I’m mad at them 😂

@AMS19 we’re all here for you when you’re ready ❤️

Well managed to DTD again, hopefully in with a shot this month as long as my thyroid is behaving 😂

@AMS19 hugs ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@Ams19 so sorry to hear that, take care of yourself ❤️

Morning Ladies!

Is it normal to be having high readings on OPKs for this long? I’m worried we have DTD to early 🤔

@ChinChilly that reading this morning is quite high for 9am you could even peak again at 6pm or the high reading this morning could just be lingering from last night? I’m no good at them I only got 3/4 high readings and then dipped low to like 0.19 after. If you can DTD today again and keep testing.
