Post Pill TTC - Rave on

It’s that time again, the 6th 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!

Happy Xmas eve everyone! Beef, gammon and pork all cooked. Turkey to cook tomorrow! Got bits out of freezer to also defrost ready for tomorrow :) just some housework to do then I’m Xmas ready xx

Robyn101 · 24/12/2020 11:46

Housework completed, food defrosting and prep completed. die hard rented for tonight’s movie (it’s a Christmas film I swear)

Just waiting for the OH to finish work now and we can start our Christmas, we’re usually out and about at parents so it’s going to be a much quieter one but I’m really looking forward to it

Hope you all have a lovely Christmas! Xmas Smile

@Kay00 your Christmas sounds great - gin and chocolate Grin also great news about your results! You must be pleased!

@MintGreenLife fantastic news about your scan! That must've been so exciting Grin have you sorted out your next one?

@Moocher90 I had a reading that was a bit higher along with EWCM and a temperature dip then my next OPK result was low again. Got annoyed went back to testing once a day again haha! Got my peak 5 days later, so guess my body was trying just didn't quite manage it at first.

Happy Christmas Eve to you all! Xmas Grin

Was expecting AF to arrive today (based on my previous 2 short cycles) but no signs yet and my temp has stayed high at 36.4. Guess I had better hold off the booze for the Christmas period and fill up on chocolate instead!

Sperr · 24/12/2020 14:01

Merry Christmas Eve! I’ve already had a sneaky BD this afternoon- pretty sure today is ovulation day as well as cervix has changed and RHR has dipped today so 🤞 it’s a Christmas conception 😂. In the mean time I’ve already had some Prosecco with family and ready for a mulled wine evening with OH!

MintGreenLife · 24/12/2020 14:35

@Kay00 thanks 😊 12 week scan is on the 22nd of Jan, we are telling our parents and siblings tomorrow morning in Skype, so that’s exciting. How many DPO are you? Have you tested yet? Xx

TheDaydreamBelievers · 24/12/2020 18:21

Checking in to the new thread!

Temps are back to my baseline (~36.4) so hopefully this is us ready to start over Smile

Merry Christmas Everyone ❄

MancMama39 · 24/12/2020 19:28

Ooh new thread!

@MintGreenLife Wonderful news on the scan and so glad all is going well.

CD1 here... another 8 day LP. Definitely didn't plan on taking a FRER Christmas morning or anything... Best just open the Baileys then... Xmas Grin ah well, onto month 3...

Wishing you all a lovely Christmas and sending love to those going through MMCs at this time, been there and it's really tough. Thinking of you Xx

Moocher90 · 24/12/2020 20:40

Who gets sore beasts prior to ovulation?! I dno if I have ovulated yet but my OPKs today have been back to stark white. Will obvs still keep checking over the next few days anyway just in case.

Kay00 · 24/12/2020 20:46
