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:

@ChinChilly ok so I went back for another look after @Juno231 eagle eyes spotted a faint. And..... I think I see it too 🤞

@Kay00 @Juno231 I considered FODMAP for IBS too and also chose IBS symptoms over the food. No willpower. I actually changed job instead and came about three rungs down the ladder in responsibility and the drop in stress is what did it for me. Still have bad days now and then but stress was my killer with IBS. Funny what it can do to your body.

@ChinChilly I'd potentially say CD15 was OD but I'm not sure why FF thinks it's CD16. Either way you're only 9-10DPO and definitely still in! Fingers crossed that line becomes a proper one by the time you test again.

@ChinChilly I didn't want to say it either but I thought I saw a v v faint line! Fingers crossed 🤞
It's now letting me attach my chart and today's OPK, I think this might be the darkest I've had so maybe my body is trying to do something again 🤷‍♀️ Premom has now got rid of my previous peaks after this OPK, so I need to change my FF chart! It's all a bit confusing 😂

@Juno231 I agree, I think it was CD15. @Gracie2021 @MissC07 I think I can see it in that photo but not so much in real life, 🤔 have to see what happens over the next few days.

@MissC07 that OPK definitely looks like peak or very close to, hopefully ovulation is around the corner, get on that 🍆 just incase!

Btw @ChinChilly I see a faint 2nd line there too. Like @Juno231 I'm not sure on colour but I see it!

My FF and Natural cycles charts actually look lovely this early in the cycle (CD7). All taken at the same times and an OPK each day. Nice to appreciate them before they turn into a mountainous shitstorm!

@TheDaydreamBelievers Yeah I can’t tell if there is any colour to it. Mountainous shitstorm made me laugh 😂

Thank you @Elsie2021 @Kay00 @Cams50 @LauraT94 @Juno231 @abi555 @Flowers222 @Nellieee @Gracie2021 @crabette @ElizabethP141 and everyone else who wished me luck and advice when I posted about my vvvfl at 10DPO, which disappeared at 11DPO and reappeared at 12dpo.

I tested this morning at 15dpo on cd33 and with AF now a day late and got a BFN (see the change in the pic attached starting with 10DPO at the top). Unfortunately the only conclusion I can draw is that I must have had a very early chemical pregnancy 🤷🏻‍♀️😩 Welcome any advice to say otherwise though or anyone who's experienced the same.

Now I'm just in limbo waiting for AF to arrive so I can have a nice bath and crack open the wine 🍷 I did get a temp drop this morning which I'm hoping was a good sign but I've heard it can be delayed after a CP. Very much want to get on with cycle #4 and hope those rumours of higher fertility after a loss are true as it'll be Valentine's over my next FW! 💕

Thank you everyone for your support

Also to say @ChinChilly I can see a second line too so don't rule yourself out and test again in a few days. Everything crossed 🤞 💕

I'm sorry @Emmgrem - that does look possibly like a chemical/v early pregnancy loss. I havent had that myself but understand that they do tend to jiggle up the end of that cycle a bit. Treat yourself well, physcially and mentally xox

@Emmgrem that does looks like you may of had a chemical, so sorry. Be kind to yourself 💗

@Emmgrem sorry to hear about the CP :( awful news xx be kind to yourself and I hope if it is then AF comes soon for you

@Emmgrem sorry to hear that. Look after yourself and hoping you get a sticky bean over your next FW.

@Emmgrem I'm so sorry! Hopefully that means you'll get a sticky asap and it shows that your body certainly knows what to do, even if it sucks that this one wasn't meant to be. My only recommendations would be wine and a bath so I think you're already on the right track.

@juno231 you and me both 🤦🏻‍♀️ another whiter than white OPK today with not even a hint of O.

@gracie2021 Thankyou! Guess carrying on DTD is all we can do keep it fun and hope I happen on O

@chinchilly You’re deffo in the game still got everything crossed

@MissC07 looks peak to me get DTD!

@emmgrem I’m sorry to hear that, hopefully AF hurries up and you can start your new cycle. Look after yourself ❤️ and here’s to a sticky bean next cycle

@Emmgrem really sorry to hear, but agree it does sound like a CP. Hopeful for a stickier bean for your next cycle xx

@ChinChilly legit my first thought when I saw your first picture was 'well that's a BFP!' I definitely saw the line but thought I was going crazy as the only one to see it before Juno mentioned it too. If you're only 9DPO then that looks hopeful to me! eeeeeeeeee!! Keep us updated!!

@Emmgrem oh I'm so sorry 💔 It does look like an early CP. Look after yourself, lots of self care and fingers crossed you are more fertile next month as a result!

@ChinChilly I think your revised O date plus the really really faint (but visible to me too!) line gives you a really good shout?! You're not out yet!!

@TheDaydreamBelievers Yeah I've been doing a mix of ClearBlue OPKs (which give you a low / high / peak reading) and the IC OPKs you need line eyes for. The CB ones go in the MON line on FF and the ICs go under OPK - you can see on my (embarrassingly bare!!) chart! 🙈

@Kay00 - what are you allowed to eat?! That sounds horrific!!!!

@Emmgrem I'm so sorry to hear it. Mind yourself and fingers crossed for a sticky bean for you xxx

Ah @crabette are the clearblue the ones that show a flashing or static smiley? I just use the cheapie One Step OPK strips. FF asks for a + or - (under tests and devices); Natural Cycles has a little bit where you move a bar to show what the test line is like and it tells you if its positive or negative.

@abi555 @crabette @Robyn101 I’m so glad you could all see it I thought I had just saw it because I wanted to see it. Not sure about the colour of the line so I guess I’ll wait until Sunday and test again...trying not to get my hopes up incase it’s just an indent.

Actually pure relief here. Wondered if my last two 30 day cycles were a coincidence but finally seeing the start of the LH surge and it's right on schedule which makes 3 months of normal cycles in a row. Busy weekend ahead 😂😂😂

@TheDaydreamBelievers Yeah with the CBs you get empty circle for low, then flashing or static smiley for high / peak. Think they test for 2 hormones, not just LH, so classed as 'monitor / advanced opk' on FF, rather than standard which is why I think it makes a difference how the results are logged - I use the + or - under 'Standard OPK' on FF for my IC's too.

Woohoo @Gracie2021/her body!

I'm super hoping my cycles will be back to normal - coming up for 10 months off the pill, so crossing my fingers hard that this cycle will be snappy chappy and at least under 40 days!

(I'm aware that instead of the pill affecting cycles, like before I conceived, I could have the MMC affecting cycles but shhhhhh, let me hope).

@TheDaydreamBelievers I've got my fingers crossed for you as well. I second what crabette is saying about how you use +/- for the cheapie opks :)

@thehotelcalifornia @MintGreenLife updates please!

@AMS19 how are you my lovely xx

@Gracie2021 woop we could be cycle buddies! I should be ovulating this weekend as well.

@Gracie2021 woohoo! Enjoy your busy weekend 🍆 🤣
