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!

@Kay00 here’s another website about it: www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/vitex

Flowers222 · 12/01/2021 18:44

@Cams50 that's really interesting about agnus castus. I have really high prolactin. Supposed to have an MRI next week if af arrives to see what is causing it. I am going to be spending the evening researching agnus castus now!

ChinChilly · 12/01/2021 19:07

@Cams50 not an intentional hoard, with the ICs I already had and the fake FRER from last month I must have over 20 tests, my bedroom draw looks like the pregnancy section in boots 😂

@abi555 I have to try really hard to not fall down the google hole, everytime I diagnose myself with something 😂

@Sperr I ruined my January diet on like the 2nd 😂 keeping everything crossed your test was just too early...order 2 FRERs on amazon you might get 12 😂

Cams50 · 12/01/2021 19:44

@Sperr and @ChinChilly I’m the exact same with the Googling! I’m always convinced I have something terribly wrong with me 😂 and I understand I’m hoarding vitamins and supplements 😂

@sperr also your symptoms are sounding soooo positive!

@abi555 eek congrats about the ovulation tww! Hope it goes quickly for you.

@Flowers222 oh agnus castus might be really useful for you then! Yesterday I was ready to throw them in the bin because I was convinced they made me have an anovulatory cycle but now I think I’m ovulating so I’m fine with them again 😂 there’s a lot of mixed reviews on Mumsnet threads but also lots of positives. Worth looking into anyway.

Sperr · 12/01/2021 20:36

@ChinChilly I just had a kebab so it’s well and truly ruined! I actually inhaled it I was so hungry. Did you get 12 tests for free - well 10 because you meant to get 2?!

I’m now stuffed and ready for an early night 😴

ChinChilly · 12/01/2021 21:00

@Sperr I’m not better, I had Mcdonalds because uber eats sent me a 50% off code 😂 i got 10 for free, the box turned up and i just thought it was amazon being excessive with the packaging but when I opened the box it was just full off them. They must of scanned the box instead of one package in the warehouse

Trying4one · 12/01/2021 21:41

Hi everyone 👋 I am doing my occasional rear my ugly head to see how everyone is doing? 😂 Any positives recently? I am looking forward to seeing you all get the BFP that you all deserve.
I am all good. 17 weeks pregnant now 😱 where has that time gone and getting a bump now. Though I think I just look bloated with a layer of Christmas fat 🤦
I try to keep an eye on what's happening but at the same time not sure whether to stick around because I don't want to run it in anyone's face that I am pregnant. Feel free to tell me to bugger off haha x

Kay00 · 12/01/2021 22:40

@trying4one hello!! So lovely to hear from you, and its great to hear things are going so well! Wow, 17 weeks already! 😍

ChinChilly · 13/01/2021 07:20

@Trying4one hii, lovely to hear from you! Wow 17 weeks how exciting! We are well over due a few BFPs over here!! Please do stick around, would love to know how your pregnancy progresses

Katelyn99 · 13/01/2021 08:21

I'm 11/12 dpo today and I think I've just got my BFP!

Robyn101 · 13/01/2021 08:23

@chinchilly wowee that’s a lot of tests 😂 god bless Amazon and their inefficiencies

@juno231 it’s scary how little GPS know about fertility but then I guess they’re ‘general’ for a reason

@mol234 got everything crossed for you 🤞🏻

@abi555 step away from google haha

@sperr hoping you’ve just got a late BFP!

@trying4one so good to hear you’re doing well and bean is progressing into a little bump, I personally like hearing positive stories so nice to see you here!

Mol234 · 13/01/2021 08:32

@Katelyn99 omg congrats! We’ve not spoken before but that’s lovely news!

Guys I did another IC this morning (well 2 actually, wan wanted to make sure one wasn’t a dud!) and think I may have a BFP... going to test with a FRER tomorrow morning to be sure. What do you think? I mean I can defo see a line now and it came up after about 2 mins so don’t think it’s an evap.

ChinChilly · 13/01/2021 08:37

TheDaydreamBelievers · 13/01/2021 08:43

Yas @Katelyn99 and @Mol234!!! Great start to a Wednesday

Trying4one · 13/01/2021 08:43

@Katelyn99 @Mol234 congratulations 🎉 they definitely look positive to me. Mine started as a faint line like that at 10dpo and look at me now 🙌

Mol234 · 13/01/2021 08:45

Thank you all!! I’m shaking. I won’t fully believe it’s real til I’ve done the FRER tomorrow but really hope it is!!!

Katelyn99 · 13/01/2021 08:49

@Mol234 Congratulations to you too!! I definitely see your line!

@MissC07 @TheDaydreamBelievers @Trying4one Thank you! I can't quite believe it yet

Juno231 · 13/01/2021 09:13

@Mol234 @Katelyn99 aww huge congrats! I'm still checking in most days :) xx

Trying4one · 13/01/2021 09:21

@Juno231 I know, I can't believe where the time has gone 🙈 the baby is due on 20th June ❤️ my ovulation dates were spot on. I haven't had a private scan to find out the gender, waiting for the 20 week scan on 1st February to find out and I can't wait ekkk.
I have been ok. I escaped morning sickness thankfully, I just pee 5 million times a day and the bloating is unreal. Also prepare yourself ladies for feeling tired a lot of the time. The fatigue is starting to get better. It sometimes just hits me like a train, but it is all worth it 😊

Flowers222 · 13/01/2021 09:29

@Mol234 @Katelyn99 massive congratulations to you both!! How exciting!!😊

Nellieee · 13/01/2021 09:30

@Mol234 @Katelyn99 congrats girls!!!

@Mol234 Amazing news. Most definitely a line there. Well, two!!! 🤩

@ChinChilly I've been on Cilique most recently (essentially the same as Cilest but different brand). Was on Cilest yearssss before that. What about you? I feel like every girl starts out on microgynon! 😂

abi555 · 13/01/2021 09:40

@Mol234 @Katelyn99 yaaaay!! massive congrats to you both! how exciting!!

Kay00 · 13/01/2021 09:43

Two in one day!! Congratulations @Mol234 @Katelyn99 Woop Woop!!
