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:

I’m sorry to hear it’s taking a while @AMS19 and also to hear your news @TheHotelCalifornia . So glad you can support each other through this it must be reassuring to have someone else in a similar situation ❤️

Hi! I’m new here, but have spent the last few days reading through all the old threads. I was so pleased to read some of the good news and also very sorry to have read some of the sadder news. It’s strange how invested I’ve become and feel like I’ve followed your journeys.
I’m looking for some advice... I came off the pill at the end of November 2020 and so far... nothing. No period, no sign of ovulation (despite trying to track) and unsurprisingly many BFNs. Any tips on what helped with getting cycles back on track? I naively thought all would be ‘fine’ as my periods were regular and non problematic before (although it was 12 years ago). I’ve seen some very long cycles on here, but at CD 79 I feel like I’m swiftly moving up the list!
Thank you!

@Juno231 really really hoping by the end of next week. The FRER has gone down quite a bit in the last 6 days so hopefully another 6 days and it will be BFN. I honestly cannot wait to stop bloody testing for a negative, it's so depressing!

@DLC05 hi 🙋🏼‍♀️ I can’t help I’m afraid, my periods came back straight away, I think the only thing you can do is give it time. I think the NHS say it can take upto 3 months for your periods to come back.

@AMS19 it must be so wierd wishing for a BFN 😞

@Juno231 hey ☺️ I just saw you tagged me yesterday after trawling back over posts to see what’s going on with everyone! I still stalk this thread every few days 😂 for some reason I don’t get email notifications when someone tags me anymore!

I’m 14 weeks now, had my 12 week scan last Friday and all was looking good. I did have a scare at 10’weeks though. After 3 days of spotting I ended up in EPU, but thankfully the bleeding wasn’t anything to do with the pregnancy. I had an internal examination and it turned out I had a polyp on my cervix. I’ve since seen a specialist about it and it’s been decided to leave it until after baby is born. I was very anxious after all of that, but now I’ve had my 12 week scan am feeling much calmer.

How are you getting on? Mustn’t be too long until your appointment now? Xx

@Juno231 oh I also finally moved house on Monday too! How are things going with your renovations?

@AMS19 @TheHotelCalifornia also just wanted to say I think of you both often xx

@MintGreenLife I haven't been getting the notifications since Dec now and constantly worry there are people out there asking for my help on bbt charts 😅.

Congrats on the house move! Glad you got that sorted before you get too big and tired to deal with any of it. So happy for you that the scan went well! I can't even imagine how terrible your visit to the EPU must've been :/ also very random re the polyp, reckon that's new or that it's been there a while?

Renos arent really happening tbh - we're still faffing with the architect atm. It should take another 2 weeks before we can even start the surveys... I'm worried that once they're done and we start asking builders for quotes they might not be available for another 6 months if we're unlucky!

Appointment is on Monday, not holding my breath though 😅

@Juno231 ah I’m glad it’s not just me! Kind of annoying as I worry about missing messages and looking like I’m being rude 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thanks so much, I’m so glad to get it out the way, it all for very stressful trying to get it through towards the end, especially as our buyers were really putting the pressure on. Re the polyp I’m not sure to be honest. It’s right at the entrance to my cervix. I do remember feeling a tiny lump when I was checking my cervix, but it seemed to come and go so was never too worried about it. I’ve looked into it and seems pregnancy hormones can make them grow quickly and they are common in pregnancy, so if it was there before it must have been tiny and never caused me any trouble. Did I read something about you having a cyst recently?

Ah sorry to hear the renovations are dragging a bit. This bit can feel like it goes on forever, especially when you’re itching to get started! Hope things pick up for you and you get a builder on the job sooner rather than later.

You’ll have to let me know how you get on on Monday. Really hope you get some answers and any help you might need x

@MintGreenLife glad to hear you are doing well

@DLC05 I ended up at 141 days. At 3 months they agreed to do bloods to check hormone and androgen levels and all the usual suspects - thyroid, blood sugars etc. Ultimately they didnt spot much- my prolactin was a bit too high (its raised up by the pill) and was likely suppressing ovulation but not high enough that medics were interested in any intervention.

@TheDaydreamBelievers thank you ☺️ How are you getting on? Have you got your cycle back yet? Am keeping everything crossed for you x

@MintGreenLife took 8 weeks after surgery to get a BFN and 1 week more for AF but finally CD8 today. So we are putting all we can towards this cycle and giving it our best shot

@TheDaydreamBelievers really hope you get tire rainbow baby very soon x

*your

@TheHotelCalifornia I'm so sorry to hear your news, take care of yourself, thinking of you x

@Emmgrem So sorry to hear about the CP, had everything crossed for you, hope next month is your month X

@MintGreenLife lovely to see you on here and I'm so pleased your scan went well after the scare at EPU x

@MancMama39 thanks so much ☺️ How are you getting on? Xx

@mintgreenlife hello!! So lovely to hear from you and to hear your 12 week scan went well ☺

@thehotelcalifornia im so sorry 😞 such sad news xx it sounds like you have found a really supportive group though 💙 lots of love to you and your partner xx

@TheHotelCalifornia I’m so sorry. Such awful news. Hope you’re doing ok as can be xxx

@MintGreenLife great news about the scan and the house! The bleeding with the polyp sounds nerve wracking but so glad it wasn’t to do with the pregnancy.

Morning ladies,

Good to hear from you @MintGreenLife glad everything is going well

I’m not going to bother testing, I think its safe to say AF is on the way 😞

@MintGreenLife I'm good thank you, got a BFP a week ago but being cautious, just sitting tight and hoping for a progression to 3+ on the CB this week before self referring to midwife X

@chinchilly 😪😪😪

@ChinChilly Oh no I'm sorry 😞

Finally got my peak at CD30 yesterday, have woken up this morning with what I think is the start of a UTI. So that rules any BD out today 😫

Thanks @Kay00 @ChinChilly

@MancMama39 I thought I saw you had gotten your BFP! Hope everything goes well for you xx

@DLC05 Honestly there isn’t any magical cute unfortunately. I got to CD137 before AF reared her face.

Have you had a withdrawal bleed?

Doctors are all a bit temperamental some will see you early, some won’t even look at it until 3 months, my doctor told me to wait 6 months(!) luckily it came back on its own. I did take Seven seas Trying for a baby from around CD98, could be a pure coincidence but I ovulated late that month and then AF came so worth a try

Just keep taking temps and OPKs and unfortunately wait 🤦🏻‍♀️🤞🏻 Fingers crossed you don’t rack up to some of our bigger numbers

@ChinChilly arghh that sucks 😔

@AMS19 @TheHotelCalifornia thinking if you both. So glad that you have support xx

@Juno231 hope everything goes well tomorrow. Great to be able to move forward with it.

@MintGreenLife congrats on the scan and new home. Exciting times ahead. Hope you stay well! @MancMama39 massive congrats and fingers crossed all progresses nicely for you!

@ChinChilly so sorry to see the temps going down. Hope you have some treats lined up if AF does rear her ugly head x

@MissC07 god you poor thing and the timing. I'm actually with you on that. Have been getting bartholin cysts around ovulation time since coming off the pill. Hit peak fri Eve here and got another Bartholin cyst started Friday morning. Been pushing through Friday and Saturday but it's punishing me for it today 🙈 plus temps aren't rising at all so I'm thinking we should be DTD today as well just in case it's a slow ovulation or something but even the thought of it now isn't going over well!

Wondering what anyone thinks of the chart? It's my first month temping and I'd thought I should be starting to see a temp rise by now. Took temp three times in a row this morning as I was convinced it was bringing up yesterday's by accident. Convinced I ovulated as OPK's were spot on and hit peak Friday plus had a couple other signs yesterday. Debating stopping temps and OPK's for the rest of the month abs just seeing if AF comes.... is the purpose of temping past this point just to confirm ovulation? I just find I get in my head too much for the TWW and wonder if it would be best to just ignore it all instead 🤔
