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:

@crabette ahhhhh!!! Amazing news. Huge congrats 🎉 thanks for sharing your journey. I love reading them!!

@crabette haha I love that this bean is off the back of some strangers telling you to jump OH! Feels like you've been around ages but actually it didn't take you many cycles of proper trying to get there!

Now tell me what the expected due date is per FF, I love fantasising about that

@Juno231 Ha! I was here on the first thread, but trying to figure out tracking and my cycle really first of all.

Due date according to the NHS calculator is 13th October! And I called the midwife hotline this afternoon to register, so 12 week scan is 30th March. Feels like an eternity away! Currently researching all the things I'm no longer allowed to eat lol.

Thanks for all the messages and congratulations guys, I really couldn't have coped without this thread and all of you!! Hoping for lots more BFPs this month xx

Weird one for ye all - has anyone ever gotten a kind of fluttering/spasm/twitch down on one side where you'd normally get ovulation pain but this is a few days post ovulation? I can see it twitching..... it's the strangest feeling and kind of freaking me out if I'm honest. It's been on and off all morning and my diet has been good so it's Not IBS plus it's not a feeling I've ever had before 🙈

@Gracie2021 mine wasn't on one side!! But I did get a weird kind of pulling feeling of movement, I guess fluttering is a good way of describing it! Around 5dpo! 🤞

@crabette trying so hard not to get my hopes up 😂🙈 it's the strangest feeling ever. Genuinely never had this before. Ok can stop worrying about it so but also going to try forget about it so I don't get my hopes too high!!

Love the BFP story btw. The detail is brilliant. So excited for you and Oct is a lovely time for a new baba!

On CD12 and still bleeding brown sludge, hopefully it tails off today! I had an upset stomach last night which I also got last month on day 12, think it's hormonal. Feeling cramps in my ovaries. Should I start doing OPKs today or is it too early?

@Gracie2021 step away from the symptom spotting . At 3 DPO as well, naughty girl!

@Juno231 genuinely asking because I was freaked out. Feels like a tic 😂 I'm not even tracking anything in a Single app from now, promise!!!!!

@minipillingyou poor thing that some long bleed. How are you feeling? What length are your cycles usually? Can't do any harm OPKing if you're not short of them.

Huge congrats @crabette loved reading your story! I too had the 'twinges' on 6DPO and then on and off for a few days later xx

@minipilling how long have your cycles been so far? Tbh I would have started before CD12 - I don't think you have to wait for AF to finish before you start the OPKs.

I'm OK, just tired! I'll probably know when ovulation actually hits as it's very painful for me, but would be nice to find a peak before then so I can have sex before the pain sets in. I did a couple of OPKs just now and they were both light-medium lines, I guess they need to be much darker.
My cycle is usually 29 days, AF this time came 28 days after the last one started, just both periods have lasted 12 days each.

Oh my goodness @crabette I am thrilled for you!! Such an amazing story too, thanks so much for sharing. Congratulations! Xx

@crabette Massive Congratulations!! I’m due 5 October so we’re close together 😁

Congratulations @crabette! 😁 So happy for you! X

Huge congratulations @crabette fingers crossed it's all wonderful for you from here xx

@crabette Wow!! Huge congratulations!! 🥳🥳🥳 so pleased for you 😁 and im really glad the B-Vits did their job xx

Thanks all!!! 🥰

@Elsie2021 Pregnancy buddy! Hope it's uneventful for both of us!!!! 😂❤️

@crabette congratulations 🎉

Sorry been MIA again. This month I finally got into temping after last months long cycle and all the unknown! Attached my first ever chart and I’m in my first real TWW. I still never got a peak with my clear blue OPK so I’m probably just going to give up with them and keep temping in the future only. I had the longest period ever this cycle as well!

I had read about drinking grapefruit juice to increase CM (I didn’t really have a problem with it but I’m all for natural stuff and I actually love grapefruits 😂) and I highly recommend. I pretty much started getting loads straight away! I’m probably going to start eating pineapple now I know I’ve ovulated 🤣

We actually timed DTD very well this month. We normally only go every other day but OH really wanted it that extra day on my chart 😂. I’ve literally been forcing him to take his pills in front of me to make sure he’s actually doing it as well.

I feel so much more relaxed with temping and it was was easier than I thought it would be. I naturally wake up at roughly the same time anyways and on the weekends I have managed to either fall back to sleep.

Any cycle buddies in 3dpo?! I’m sure I had someone at the start

@crabette Just read your ttc story, it’s lovely so pleased for you!

@Sperr I’ve seen somewhere else about grapefruit juice! Might get some.

AF is finally on her way out thank god, just the wait tor ovulation now which feels like FOREVER!

@ChinChilly if you don’t like grapefruit I saw some people were mixing it with apple juice to make it taste nicer

@sperr there's a bunch of us just 1DPO ahead of you so we can keep each other company :)

I'm on day 3 of thrush with little to no improvement despite lots of cream and using the pessary on the first night of it. Not had it this bad/gross in a while. I feel like I should just call the GP and get it over with but the thought of it gives me anxiety tbh. Last time I needed an appointment with them it took 3 days worth of ringing reception before I could even get through!

@ChinChilly the wait for ovulation is actually my fav wait of the month because it has all of the hope and possibility of the TWW without any of the pressure 😂

@minipilling hope you get some highs soon and can time Before O hits. Fingers crossed any day now going by your cycles 🤞

@Sperr we're same day post O so that makes 4 of us heading for testing/AF V day weekend. I love having the company!! Fingers crossed a couple of us manage to pull off a @crabette /@Elsie2021 pregancy buddy out of it😂 will be great for ye having the company ladies.

I've tried all WOO by now too. This cycle did grapefruit juice every morning til O and omg I loved it. Put it into a wine glass and felt like a fancy little mocktail every morning. Added a splash of lemonade at the start til I got used to it. Then also used conceive plus, and the Irish version Mucinex plus the moon cup (let's not dwell on that episode 🙈)! Now I'm on the pineapple slices first thing in the morning for the TWW, 2 pairs of socks and 3 string tops to keep my tummy warm without overheating 😂 if it can't hurt I'll try it. Btw re the mucinex and grapefruit I'm not on any other medication, if you are check with your doctor or do some reading before using.

Then added coenzyme Q10 to my daily vitamins. Have taken B Complex, magnesium, omega 3, vit D, probiotics for two years now and then added folic acid last year too so that's my daily dose! Got one of those little bamboo pill boxes with a compartment for every day off amazon.

Am I cracked? 😂🙈

Also really trying to reduce/cut out my sugar this TWW which is killing me. Hardest one to do but apparently can be really bad for you.
