Post Pill TTC - Rave on

[Juno231]

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!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I'm actually really curious about the return to a cycle, I've been happily coasting with no hormonal waves for do long now!

@MissC07 I’m wondering it I will remember what my random alarm at 6:30 will be for or if I’ll turn it off and go back to sleep 😂

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and useful tips! Going to download some apps now! Reading here with much interest and learning a lot! Good luck everyone!!

@Rmd123 I forgot to day FW is fertile week!

Oh my!! So many messages in the last 24 hours! I can't keep up! Good to see this thread is so helpful to so many awesome ladies.

Happy Friday!!

So 9PO and still a little spotting when I wipe. Getting cramping quite a bit and backache

My charts definitely don’t look positive I don’t think - but this is my first TWW so I’ve no actual idea of what a good chart looks like so any interpretation help would be good

When does spotting become bleeding and actually it’s AF making a rare and early appearance 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

I’ve only got wondflo cheapie tests that are 25mlU/ml so I don’t think super sensitive so deffo gunna wait it out

@Juno231 thank you! Fingers crossed for this month 👶🏼

I’m completely losing track of this thread as well 🤣 good to see some new faces though ☺️

@Robyn101 it’s not AF til it turns up properly so you’re def not out yet! From what I understand the pg symptoms are so similar to PMS symptoms it’s hard to distinguish between the 2. I think maybe hold out a couple of days and see if AF turns up or not! Fingers crossed not!! That dip on your chart could be an implantation dip 😬😬

I have my first dot on fertility friend 😂😂😂 is 36.18 normal? Seems abit low 🤔

@Robyn101 I’m new to this temping stuff but your temps are still higher than the coverline. I think it’s AF when it’s a full flow, I had 3 days of spotting before my real AF showed her face. @Mol234 is right all the early pregnancy symptoms and similar to PMS symptoms! Keeping everything crossed for you!

@ChinChilly remind me what CD you are currently on?

@Mol234 CD4 AF is just pissing off now! 😂

@ChinChilly I think that temp is quite normal, mine are always usually about 35.9-36 in my FP!

@ChinChilly - Nope not tried any ovulation tests yet, but will have a look when i go shopping today, if not I'll order some from amazon. I was reallllly trying not to obsess with it and to just "see what happens" but it's driving me mad! I had another lot of brown discharge yesterday/today and I put it in my app and it's classed this as the start of my new cycle so now i feel it really is all over the place! :(

@firsttimemummy321 - Sorry to hear you feel stuck in limbo right now. Good luck with the next test, hope it's a strong line for you!

@Juno231 - That's interesting to read about all the different suppliments! I'll look into the primrose oil!
I'm current;y taking the seaven seas TTC but not sure if that's helping at all or not at this stage.

How's everyone feeling today ladies?

@Mol234 Ah that’s good to hear! Thank you

@Delilah221 I use the easy@home ones from amazon I find them easiest to read and you can link them up to the premom app. What did you log it as one the app? I think I would of put it down as spotting obviously dependent on how much of it there is. I’m also take the seven seas TTC, they seem to get good reviews and are friendly on the purse 😂

@ChinChilly woop! perfectly normal temp. My CD7-9 were 0.18 pretty much as well.

Today my temp was 36.69 and I giggled - what an adult!

@ChinChilly Mine was 36.29 today it's been pretty much the same all week.

@ChinChilly - I logged it as light bleed as it was a tad more than spotting and lasted all day. But it's difficult to log as its often only when i go for a wee and it's there when i wipe (TMI but i know that's welcome here haha) So yea no idea with it all!
Haha, yes they are way better value for money and i got them in asda so easier to pick up and i've heard the pregnecare tabs are huge! lol

@Juno231 Ahh how many DPO are you? 🤞🏼 for you this cycle!

@MissC07 Ahh thank you, just waiting for AF to feck off now 🙄

@Delilah221 if it is just when you wipe I would probably put it down as spotting? If you need a pad or anything during the day then maybe stick it down as a light bleed. The seven seas tablets are being hailed as a miracle tablet at the moment, just finished my first packet and I’m still not pregnant 😂 but folic acid on its own makes me feel really sick so I’m just going to stick with them for now.

CD7 today so hopefully will be coming up to my FW. OPKs so far has no second line. Prepared DH for the next 2 weeks of sex every other day 😂 just in case of a later ovulation. Day 3 of spinning too!

Update from me is:

1. EPU want to see me to do bloods and a scan as my tests are still positives 5 weeks after surgery. However because of their business and my clinics schedules the soonest we could put in an appt is next Thursday! So might well be negative by then 🤣

1. My temperatures are still all over the place.

1. In super worried that even after the tests go negative my cycle will go back to the extended length nightmare it was before!

Hi all,
I’m new here and very new to all these terms and measuring etc. Came off cerazette 1st Jan and no bleeding at all..... we are not monitoring massively but I have joined natural cycles. Is it possible to get pregnant before first cycle or is there no point doing any tests until that happens? Any advice appreciated!

@Ttcin2021 yes it is possible to get pregnant right away. Your first period can be a bit delayed coming off ceraztte. Best best is to use temps and OPKs to see when you ovulate. 2 weeks after ovulation you are either pregnant or get a period.

@TheDaydreamBelievers thank you that’s really helpful. Natural cycles app asks for my temp each morning..... what does temp normally look like when ovulating? Sorry so new to all this.

@Ttcin2021 welcome! Exactly what @TheDaydreamBelievers said!

@thedaydreambelievers I'm so sorry you might have retained product :( I hope it gets resolved quickly so you don't have to delay TTC any further!

@TheDaydreamBelievers If you're still positive 6 weeks after surgery then you will certainly be glad for the tests, hope it all resolves quickly x

@ChinChilly exciting that you are charting!! Your temp would be considered at the higher end of my temp range in FP so I that counts as normal

@Robyn101 Fingers crossed for you, your chart is looking Ace!

I'm on CD25, still getting negative OPKs... i'm running out, only have a few more days to go. TBH i'm getting sick of peeing on sticks who would have though that would ever happen!!

My regular failed ovulation attempts are making me more and more convinced to try the Soy Iso next cycle,
