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!

@Moocher90

[Moocher90]

Oh yes I just purchased it! Thank you x

[Moocher90]

@Juno231 how do I add my RHR?! I know I have to set it as custom data but how do I set the parameters?

[LauraT94]

@Juno231 ooh ok the HSG sounds interesting! Hopefully it comes back clear for you. Can't believe all the chasing you've had to do! Thank god you're on the ball!

R.e. Christmas baby, wouldn't stop me trying! I'm desperate to be pregnant again. I was so ungrateful about having an August baby I feel so guilty.

@Flowers222 nothing like a bit of healthy competition to get the men interested 😂

Woohoo everyone's getting on the premium FF hype 😂

@Moocher90 you have to add it as a custom specific. On the 'edit your favourites' bit. And then add specific. And then once you've set that up, go on the charts page and click on chart duo and get it to plot RHR... Sorry it's really hard to give directions 😂 if you can't follow that then hopefully @Juno231 can word it better!

[TheDaydreamBelievers]

So FF thinks I ovulated 3 days ago. Natural cycles isn't convinced. My OPKs were near positive 3 and 2 days ago but I never saw a peak.

To be honest I reckon this month my hormones are still probably nonsense. So maybe just continue DTD as much as we can until AF appears?

[TheDaydreamBelievers]

Meant to attach a chart!

[Moocher90]

thanks @LauraT94 xx all sorted

[Juno231]

@TheDaydreamBelievers I reckon cd20 if anything but if you have the energy to bonk then def go for it until AF!

@Moocher90 I'm so glad you got @LauraT94 's instructions as it's been waaaaay too long since I set it up to remember!

Had my valentines bonk - last one before the hsg I think (AF still hasn't starred!) and am now on the champagne 🥂

[Moocher90]

Lol @Juno231
Also had the Valentine’s Day bonk! Despite it being the 13th 😂 .

Got my GP call tomorrow at 09:30 to ask for thyroid panel to be done! I really need them done so I got them for my endo appointment on 24th. I have been speaking to a group of women with hashimotos and they think with my results I currently have I should be put on medication as they have with similar results. I certainly have a lot of the symptoms. I just want it to be sorted so I can ovulate and hopefully at some point fall pregnant

[TheDaydreamBelievers]

@juno231 I dont reckon we have a great chance this month but to be honest I'm not sure itd be the best if we did conceive given the call about testing the other day. Guess we just wait and see if AF appears.

Thanks as always for your help xo

[ChinChilly]

Well there won’t be any DTD tonight, the evening ended in an explosive arguement 🥴😤

[TheDaydreamBelievers]

Argh! Sorry to hear that @ChinChilly

[ChinChilly]

@TheDaydreamBelievers we don’t argue very often but he pee’d me off yesterday and managed to do it again tonight! I say we had an argument I had a mare a cry and banished him to the spare room, he never really argues back which irritates me even more 🙄

[Robyn101]

I decided to go for it and get premium FF too - good use of birthday pennies 😂

FF thinks I’ve ovulated but doesn’t seem sure any thoughts on why it wouldn’t be sure? Is it that I logged a negative OPK?

[Robyn101]

Weirdly uploaded super fuzzy so trying again

[Kay00]

@robyn101 I'd say that's looking good for ovulation! Well done! I think FF gives dotted crosshairs on long cycles where there is a temp rise but no +OPK... from experience 😊

Congratulations on everyone who ovulated in the last few days!

@juno231 this is my greatest fear with the NHS... it makes no logical sense! Well done for navigating it and getting through to the right person 👏

I really disliked the idea of having a Christmas baby when I first started this process (I was hoping for a summer baby 🙄) but now I really would be quite happy... but suspect its unlikely anyway.

@chinchilly hope you're not too upset tonight xx

[Juno231]

@Robyn101 I'm 99% it's done that because you've carried on logging fertile mucus after OD. It should dry up straight after ovulation really so it's throwing FF off a bit.

@Kay00 ha I'm still dreading a summer baby 😅. I always wanted a september /October baby so I'm annoyed this is the second year I've missed my shot on that!

No AF yet girls which makes me happy as it buys me a little bit of extra time around the hsg for dtd 👏. Ie if I have it on CD13 instead of CD14 I can still catch ovulation!

[Cams50]

@Juno231 @FlyingGiraffe @Flowers222 @ChinChilly I know it’s very frustrating. I appreciate things are so difficult with covid but didn’t think a sneaky semen production car pit stop would be one of the consequences 😂

@FlyingGiraffe thanks yes my temps did go up so I think I’m 5dpo so that’s good. I’m hoping you ovulate this week! Glad your body is returning to normal x

@ChinChilly sorry about the argument 😞

@Robyn101 happy birthday!! And that’s great you’ve ovulated! I’m sure the dotted cross hairs are to do with the negative OPK. That’s so much earlier than your last cycle!

[Cams50]

@Juno231 that’s great! Have you tested again? Just in case!

[Sperr]

BFN from me this morning! I knew it as I have literally no symptoms. I have got 2 more days until AF though- but it’s looking like I have a 14 day LP 🎉. Temp still quite high so will be interesting to see when that drops since this my first month temping. Cervix is still closed but that normally only opens the day before AF for me so that will be tomorrow

I might take vitamin b complex next cycle- do you take this from day 1 or just after ovulation?

[Robyn101]

Thanks @kay00 I’ve not caught anything with OPKs this time around so we’ll see

@juno231 ohh interesting, this is the first time I’m logging CM so maybe I haven’t got the hang of it yet? Or maybe I tried to ovulate and didn’t quite. Had a temp drop today but still above coverline just... it’s moved O back a day so would make me 5DPO (I think)

You’re not out until AF but definitely good news about a longer LP!

@cams50 Haha yep 137 days for my last one so shaved a lot off time off if I have ovulated 😂 just a nice 41 day cycle if FF is correct

[Kay00]

@sperr to elongate my LP i started by taking the B-Complex days 0-10, then a break to allow ovulation (not needed... Juno doesn't do this) then B-Complex from Ov onwards. This worked wonders and my LP extended from 9 day on average to 14 days on average!

I now take mine all the way through the month as the first month I tried leaving it out days 1-10 I didn't ovulate at all!! However, I now don't think that was caused by missing the B-Complex in my FP... I think my body is just broken.

So in answer, you could try either, all the wag through or just after Ov xx good luck!

[Kay00]

Happy Valentines Day ladies xx I made a special breakfast of Fodmap friendly pancakes 🥞 😋

[Ttcin2021]

Morning all!
I am looking for more bbt advice...... what is this line that goes across at 36.43? Is this what you refer to as cover line? Is it temps above that after ovulation and more likely pregnant and goes below before period?! Sorry.... so clueless!!

[Robyn101]

I’m no BBT expert @Ttcin2021 but that line is the coverline. Temps tend to be over it after ovulation and trend back below it as period approaches
