Post Pill Party - The Ceilidh

[TheDaydreamBelievers]

As the Post Pill Party Mosh Pit dies down... sweaty and bewildered, the ladies head to the bar to freshen up. Suddenly, a fiddler bursts onto the stage, beginning a merry tune. Everybody swings into an energetic Ceilidh!

Our heads are spinning, our bodies are knackered but we arent giving up dancing when the music is this catchy!

This is the 8th post pill party thread for women whose bodies don't know the correct dance steps after hormonal contraception. Raise a dram to combating delayed ovulation, flabberghasting follicular phases, loopy luteal phases, bizzare temp charts and OPKs whiter than a Scotsman's bum!

@ChinChilly ah that explains a lot lol! Tbh it could have been in much worse condition in that case! Also I do think it would be easier to just replace it all - I just have a feeling a fair amount of it could be original so it breaks my heart!

@ChinChilly I love your Victorian house, I'm sure your current decorating is lovely, although its exciting to be doing it up again in the summer... and I love an industrial style.

@ChinChilly yes... I love that colour!!

@Juno231 Yes, the sanding is an absolute pain! If you have very thick paint on the woodwork you can either replace (but you'll probably need to re-skim/plaster the walls if you do) or use a heat gun/chemicals to remove the paint layers ... neither are fun options! Hopefully its a simple sand and re-paint jobby!

@TheDaydreamBelievers oops sorry!! It’s been a day I tell you. I’m ready to get in bed and start again!

@Juno231 we were lucky that the last tennants were good and left everything in a good state! I know what you mean about original features! It irritates me that someone has taken out an original fireplace in the living room at som point and replaced it with a big ugly marble thing

@Kay00 this is the current theme throughout the house, it’s nice but difficult to maintain and it’s abit boring, I loved it when we moved in but it’s abit meh! Now

Wow so many interesting pre-renovation pics! @Kay00 I think yours are the winners for most shocking 😂

@ChinChilly I love that green colour and industrial style!! Gorgeous. Your hallway picture is lovely too.

@Sperr I had that exact dilemma last year and kind of again this year. Same as @MintGreenLife we got legally married last year which was lovely and are due to have the big wedding this year which now looks like it’ll go ahead which is great except half our guests are meant to be travelling from Ireland so I’m still concerned about travelling and their rate of vaccination etc there. But I’m not going to stop trying. It’s already been so long and difficult so I’m just going to see what happens and rearrange if I need to. So tricky though. I totally understand.

@ChinChilly Love that colour and your hallway!!

@Kay00 You have super powers to be able to see through the mess in the listing photos. I'm awful at 'removing everything in my head and staring at a blank canvas' 🤣

I love all this reno chat! It's a nice distraction from TTC!

@Cams50 @MissC07 Thanks both ☺️ I was exactly the same when we were looking I couldn’t see past the crap, and I can’t hide my facial expressions which is not good when the home owner is showing you around instead of the estate agent 😂

@Cams50 I think I was just having a pre AF meltdown. This is the second time I’ve cried for the dumbest reason before AF came 😂.

I’m now in bed eating biscuits! Diet starts again after AF 🙃

@ChinChilly love that colour for the walls!

@MissC07 I completely agree! It’s actually lovely not thinking just about ttc!!

@Sperr I had this breakdown this morning..... my wedding is august this year and I came off pill thinking it would be postponed.... now I don’t think it will but it’s nothing certain so I think I’m just going to go with whatever happens and adjust a dress if I have to. I think I’d kick myself if I waited until September and then it took another year or so from then!

Morning!

It was nice to have a break from the TTC chat.

@Robyn101 thanks, OH is on side so that will probs happen towards the summer! 😆

I’ve got my thyroid/vitamin/hormone tests this morning, I saw somewhere it’s best to fast beforehand so I’m trying to keep myself busy 😂

Temp rise again this morning, my chart looks nothing like the last one and my HR is doing something. It’s still so high though after not coming down post AF

@ChinChilly your charts look great! Good luck with the tests!

@ChinChilly Lovely clear ovulation! Hope the tests go well x

Good morning ladies!

@Ttcin2021 that’s a good point! Ours was early June so we wouldn’t have made it for this year anyways. I think we are going to go for early September next year to give us as much time as possible

Quick question if AF came in full flow in the evening does that still count as cycle day 1?

@sperr I'd count it as day 1!

@ChinChilly chart is looking good so far!

I've done a Barre class two nights in a row to slowly get back into exercising. Planning on doing a BodyCombat one tonight but I fear it might kill me as I'm so unfit. Crazy to think that a year ago I was doing 3-4 classes a week and sometimes even back to back?

@ChinChilly great looking chart!

My temps were still high today which is unusual for 11dpo but bfn this morning so not looking good for this cycle.

@Juno231 will be thinking of you on Friday then ❤️ ooh have you been enjoying barre? I remember you said you wanted to try it!

@ChinChilly that's a good looking chart, I'm jealous!

Who was my wedding date buddy (15th May?). I've changed it to the 14th August now on the hopes it'll be relatively 'normal' by then! I'm not going to wait to TTC for the wedding or for the vaccine! Vaccine can happen as and when I can have it. And my wedding dress can be altered 😂 I just want to be married! And hug my friends and family ❤️

OPKs still negative but cervix still SHOW 🤔 wait and see!! 🤪

@Juno231 that’s the support I need 😂. Already CD2 here! I’m going to try soy isoflavones to see if that can make me ovulate sooner. I mean I should be grateful it all seems to work but I’m impatient.

I also ordered some maca tablets. I read online they are great for the swimmers!

@LauraT94 ahh you’re now weekend after mine in august. I’m totally the same. I actually messaged my wedding dress lady and said I was stressing and she sent a lovely message saying never change life plans for a dress and there is always alterations that can be made. I’d love to announce at our wedding but I think I’d have to be incredibly lucky for timing haha. We can dream!

@LauraT94 slutty cervix all ready to go lol! Yes I did enjoy it although as I've only done mini classes at 20 min each it might be too soon to tell. 20 min still had me sweating profusely though!

All this wedding chat is making me realise I've been married for 4 years this year and no baby yet - people must be whispering about us!

Morning all,

Spoke to the endocrinologist Dr, she’s referring me for more bloods which need to be done around 6 weeks time and if my TSH is still high then she will put me on a low dose of levothyroxine to trial it and see how I go. I’m so fed up of the waiting around now especially if there’s no ovulation this month. Speaking to gp on 3rd March about my cycles and lack of ovulation

@juno231 Go girl!! I have been for a run the last two nights in a row.. i'm going to rest tonight (I have another baby shower to attend... meh!) then run again on Thursday then Sat

@Flowers222 Sorry about the BFN Do you have a chart to share?

@Moocher90 That sounds really positive! Not that i hope your TSH is high, but it would be really good to be given some meds to regulate it.

I too will be speaking to my GP about my lack of ovulation... I'm CD34 and nothing is happening. I really think inflammation going on elsewhere in my body is the route cause (unfortunately I'm still suffering with inflammation despite the best efforts of the FODMAP diet), but i'm not sure if there is much she can do to help.

Chart for reference. The latest I have ovulated was CD35, so it still might happen... but I have such an empty feeling... I just kind of feel like it won't.
