Post Pill Party - The Mosh Pit !!

[Kay00]

As the Post Pill Party fills up, the lights are dimmed and the music drops a beat. The lead singer of this rambunctious band shouts: Mosh Pit!! The ravers all storm for the small space in front of the stage allowing their bodies to dance to the beat however the f* they want!! You go ladies!!

This is the 7th post pill party thread for women whose bodies aren’t quite dancing to the expected rhythm: we have 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!

In the crowd I can see:

@Juno231 you were a pioneer. It's great to see so many people going more sustainable these days. I do feel bad about the amount of packaging and plastic from all the OPK's etc 🙈

Your description is quite accurate 😂

@Gracie2021 omg I’ve been laughing out loud to your stories, being asleep with the thermometer up your foof and the stuck moon cup 😂😂😂

@LauraT94 @Juno231 I have looked at the mooncups but to be honest the whole things of getting them up and back out just seems like too much. I lost a tampon up there once that was traumatic enough!

@LauraT94 that’s definitely a negative, it must be such a wierd feeling for you! Hopeing it’s not too long until you get your BFP with a sticky bean!

Hey ladies,
Still reading and keeping up with all your news and funny stories! I’m popping in and out because there’s just not a lot going on with me at the minute. I’m getting a bit confused because I’ve got completely stark white OPKS but don’t know if my temps are showing something?

@Gracie2021 hahahah, OMG I love that story!! Thanks for giving me a giggle!

Although you have not entirely put me off as I had never even considered using a mooncup like this for TTC.... has anyone else done this. Considering giving it a go - although forewarned and forearmed for the next morning shenanigans!

@LauraT94 glad to see your tests are finally going towards BFN... fingers crossed it won't be long until they swing back the other way to BFP and you're pregnant again

Not a lot going on here either, AF finished, only CD5 so a while before anything kicks off again. All my new supplements arrived this morning though so I can now happily rattle even more!

Hi ladies,

I've been lurking too as I've been a bit down with it all - I've been spotting since 2dpo which surely wins the title of worst luteal phase ever?! I'm now 8dpo on CD24, and thinking that proper AF will appear any day now. So gutted as I seem to be going backward in terms of progressing to a longer LP. Last cycle I somehow got to 11dpo without spotting! But this cycle has just been so bad. I think I'll try Agnus Castus for the next cycle as things cant get much worse!

Hope every else is doing well. Congratulations to @MancMama39 and @Elsie2021 for your BFP's! And thank you @Gracie2021 for making me laugh out loud at your moon cup story!

@Robyn101 Hopefully tomorrow's temperature will show a bit more what's going on. Fingers crossed for you

@abi555 new supplements sounds exciting!

@FlyingGiraffe the spotting sounds odd, how long have you been off the pill now? The angus cactus is worth a try!

I have not just spent half an hour overlay my FF chart on others with BFPs 😂😂

@ChinChilly Since last May. My FF chart doesn't even look too bad but it clearly isnt going to happen! I'm going to message the doctors next week to ask for some tests.

@FlyingGiraffe ahh yeah speak to your doctor is your worried, best to put your mind as ease

@FlyingGiraffe the spotting is so annoying isn’t it 😔❤️ I really feel for you. I’ve started b vitamins this month to help with mine. Your chart looks good though!

@ChinChilly tell me your testing today?! 😃

@Gracie2021 that moon cup story is hilarious hahaha you poor thing! Hopefully it worked though 😉🤞🏻

@Kay00 how are you finding the soy isoflavones?

@Juno231 when’s your appointment? Is it Monday?

CD10 here and I’m still bleeding but praying it’s winding down now. I’ve got my 21 day blood test booked it. Tried to book my DH’s SA but they seem to be not doing it at the moment with covid.

@Cams50 I will be, just sitting in bed with a coffee putting it off tbh, I’ve had some cramps last night and this morning so I’m not hopeful. Had to use and adjuster for my temp again this morning, it’s still high but had dipped a tiny bit.

@ChinChilly that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re out! Best of luck 🤞🏻

Good morning ladies!! Happy Fri-yay!!

@Gracie2021 - hahaha!! I laughed out loud at your moon cup story

@FlyingGiraffe your chart has lots of positives despite the spotting; you have a clear ovulation and a decent temp rise after ovulation - in fact, your pre-ovulation temps are good too But if the spotting is concerning you then certainly go to your doctor. Maybe a 21 day progesterone test?

@Robyn101 what are your temps doing this morning? Another high temp? I have previously ovulated (clear temp rise) despite having very low OPKs... so frustrating!! At least you have been DTD every other day... so it isn't a wasted cycle

@cams50 I look my last Soy dose last night and today i'm CD8... so just waiting for FW to start. In a dream world my FW will be around next weekend (CD14-17) but i'd be happy if it was a week later to coincide with valentines weekend - haha grin]

In other news I have been put on a FODMAP diet by my doctor... i'm gutted as its really restrictive; no dairy, no legumes, beans or peas, no apples, no chocolate, I can have gin... but no tonic! No bread, no onions, no garlic... no fun!!

On the plus side i'm hoping it will reduce my pain, bloating and cramping and hopefully reduce my inflammation... which will hopefully help me get pregnant!

BFN this morning! 😕 for a hot sec I thought I saw something but I think it was just because I wanted to see something. Kind of expected it but it never gets easier...for some reason I just can’t see it happening for us.

@Kay00 that FODMAP diet sounds horrendous, what can you eat 🥴

I realised what @Juno231 said about the OPKs being in the wrong bit, I had put them in the advanced section instead of standard OPK...it’s moved ovulation from CD14-CD16 what do you guys think? That makes me only 9DPO? 🤔

@flyinggiraffe I completely get it, your chart does look good though so keep going this cycle

@cams50 wow 10 day bleed AF is not giving you a fun time hopefully that slows down now

@Kay00 a temp drop today (attached) at this point I’m thinking very scenic mountains 🤦🏻‍♀️ We’ve been trying to do the SMEP plan which OH is happy about so just keep doing that till something makes sense. That diet sounds crazy restrictive or would be easier to give you a list of what you can eat!

@chinchilly sorry it was a BFN BUT if FF is right and your O was later then your chart is still super positive and you’re definitely not out

@Robyn101if the revised FF chart is correct that means I didn’t time DTD very well for ovulation! Eurgh...sick of TTC now 😂

@ChinChilly sorry it was BFN this morning although with the new dates you're def still in with a chance! I also followed @Juno231 advice and removed the MON from my FF chart!

@Kay00 that's good your doctor has put you on a FODMAP. I've heard such good thjngs about them once you get past the first few days and your body gets used to it.

@MissC07 did it change any of your dates? I’m not sure why its pushed ovulation back by 2 days 🤔

@ChinChilly updated chart looks really good and puts you well in the game. Makes sense that you ovulated on day 20 if you got peaks on 18 and 19 plus you covered days -2 and -3. Fingers crossed for you!!

@ChinChilly @MissC07 sorry I am new to FF and a bit lost with it. Is it okay to put the OPKs under tests/devices? That's where I put them!

@Kay00 what do dinners look like under FODMAP?

@Robyn101 ah I was hoping it would go up today

@ChinChilly okay don't kill me but there is def a line on there?? Well I can see one anyway, but not sure if I can see any colour. As for the chart... temp adjust CD14 please as it might be skewing the temps? If you're 9DPO then that faint line looks promising...

@cams50 yes on Monday! Kinda nervous even though I know not much will happen!

@kay00 oof fodmap is no fun. I kept considering doing it during the years I had IBS but I legit chose stomach cramps and wrecking the loo 6 times a day over the thought of giving up food lol. On the bright side, cutting out thinks like gluten and dairy is meant to improve your fertility chances!!

@abi555 I've used the mooncup once or twice after BD but honestly just to prevent a wet patch in bed...

@TheDaydreamBelievers Yeah, I had put them under advanced monitor as low, high & peak instead of the standard OPK tab for IC tests, I didn’t think it would make much difference but it obviously did as it changed my dates when I changed it.

@ChinChilly so my chart hasn't got any dates yet as I have no idea what's going on! I thought I ovulated when my temp dipped but clearly didn't. I've just done an OPK though and got this, which I think is the strongest I've had even though I've had 'peaks' before. My stupid Premom app isn't working this morning either!!! And now MN won't let me add pictures 🙈

@TheDaydreamBelievers I now put mine only under + or - not the monitoring OPK high, low, peak

@Juno231 CD14 temp adjusted! Sometimes I think I can see something in some lights then in other lights it looks stark white! Guess I’ll test again in a few days if AF hasn’t got me

@abi555 looking forward to hearing of the morning after shenanigans 😂 I'm giving everything a try tbh. If a doctor hasn't said it's bad for me, I'll give it a shot.

@Cams50 great to have the blood test booked in. AF is giving you a fierce hard time for sure.

@Robyn101 sorry O isn't jumping out at you just yet but great to have the OH on board for SMEP and for gets crossed you get some crosshairs soon.

@Kay00 hope you can find some treats you still enjoy on the new plan. My mam swears by wheatgrass juice for flare ups and inflammation. She always has trays of the stuff growing..... like a little growhouse! Hope things line up nicely for a romantic Vday weekend. AF is due on 14th for me so it'll either be celebrations or more likely a long hot bath with a glass of wine.

@FlyingGiraffe sorry you're having a tough cycle. Fingers crossed the next few days might surprise you though. Sometimes it happens when you least expect it.
