Swing your partners round and round (the bedroom). Grab a spot and put your best checked shirt on. We're all stepping together to create some seriously strong lines - Yee-Haw! Now let's get making some cowboys (and girls!) It's time to begin now count it in...5...6...7...8!

This is the 9th post pill party thread for women whose bodies are a bit out of sync post pill. So pull up a hay bale and share your stories of dreary delayed ovulation, fascinating follicular phases, lively luteal phases and terrific temp charts.

In the Line up already.....

@Sperr fingers crossed something happens soon for you!! You can join me in the long cycle club 🤣

@Flowers222 @Juno231 Honestly I was so angry and just crying this morning. If it was O yesterday then we dtd O-2, but that's it. Arghhh 😤

@Juno231 Could you get him an 'experience' for you guys to do once lockdown is over? Like cocktail making, spa trip or a night away somewhere that you can give to him on his bdy?

@Ttcin2021 I definitely see a line, you should be ok to do the FRER this evening if you can hold it for a few hours.

@MissC07 I would of definitely had a tantrum! My last cycle we only DTD 0-3 and O-4 and I managed to get pregnant, did you cover those days? If so hope is not all lost!!

@Juno231 I just had my dad’s bday and is exactly like that, doesn’t want anything! So I did a hamper of his favourite things, nice bottle of pink champers, some fancy craft beers and all the nibbly bits he likes, he loved it to be fair!

@Sperr sorry the soy had caused delays but atleast you know now its not for you!

Flowers222 · 17/03/2021 12:39

@MissC07 O-2 means you are still covered at least. The only time I've seen a bfp was when we only dtd O-2 so 🤞 that is all you need!

Tillybabs · 17/03/2021 12:41

AF arrived today as expected. I had a bad bout of thrush during ovulation and so didn’t have high hopes.

I’m going to book my Covid vaccine I think. Has anyone else booked or had theirs?

Kay00 · 17/03/2021 13:28

@sperr @flowers222 I'm sure I read the Soy Iso can disrupt cycles if your cycles are regular legnth or usually below 40 days long. Hopefully it won't be a long delay and @sperr it sounds like your body is about to ovulate, hopefully just a few days late x

@juno231 my OH always has a long list of (expensive) things he wants 😆 for Christmas I bought him a Kombucha making kit from NOTHS which he has loved. Is your OH any good in the kitchen?

It's my niece's 11th birthday next month... any body have any good ideas of what to buy a pre teen? I bought her a Polaroid camera for Christmas and her mum is buying her a skateboard for her birthday... im genuinely at a loss!!

@missc07 I would have been quite upset too... but hopefully you're not out as you caught 0-3 ??

Juno231 · 17/03/2021 13:34

@Ttcin2021 if you had a line last night and this morning on weaker tests then I think you're safe to do one tonight with the frer. Just remember to have a good 2h wee hold at least!

Kay00 · 17/03/2021 13:51

Ladies... please knock some sense into me.... I just looked up the symptoms of the perimenopause and now i'm worried because of my lack of ovulation, long erratic cycles and and long (+1 week) periods (this one lasted 9 days!!) - eek! Help!! haha!

Sperr · 17/03/2021 14:02

@MissC07 I have now learnt my lesson to be patient 😂. I’ll just keep plodding along with my every other day! I can’t even be bothered to do OPKs now!

@Kay00 I probably should have done more research to the bad side effects of lengthening. I had some EWCM this morning and loads of watery so I feel like it could be trying again! Hopefully it doesn’t have the same effects on you xx

Kay00 · 17/03/2021 14:11

@sperr That's good, sounds like it will happen for you imminently, and although it might be delayed by a couple a days hopefully your egg will be stronger Smile

No worries about it happening to me too... i'm not even ovulating at the mo haha!

TheDaydreamBelievers · 17/03/2021 14:48

@Kay00 I feel your stress through the screen. But I doubt it's that. Remind me where you are sitting with the GP?

Went to get my APS bloods today. Results 8th april so hopefully then we can start DTD again. I think tried to book in at GP to check the mad long no ovualtion cycles and the gp receptionist told me they now only do emergency on the day appts Hmm. I asked about conditions that require longer term ongoing management and she said she didnt know HmmHmmHmm

Juno231 · 17/03/2021 14:53

@Kay00 those are also the symptoms of coming off the pill, PCOS and hypothyroidism - I'm sure if you google hard enough then Dr Google will tell you it's brain cancer Grin. Remind me, have you had any blood tests done yet? If so then you'd know if it was perimenopause based on your FSH levels.

Tillybabs · 17/03/2021 15:42

@Kay00 I think we are all guilty of googling things. I did myself today and then worried myself over something.

Your symptoms also could be from coming off the pill, etc. I very much doubt it’s peri menopause. Best to stay off Google lol

Kay00 · 17/03/2021 15:54

You're right ladies... I went down a Google rabbit hole and my previous FSH levels were fine... sorry for the mini panic! Haha.... I think my 9 day AF has thrown me!

Kay00 · 17/03/2021 16:01

@TheDaydreamBelievers I'm honestly not that stressed, I'm a pretty laid back person, and i'm happy to wait if it means I get a baby at the end of it all Smile I think i'm more disappointed in my body which seems to plague me with something inflammation-y every 6 months or so... and getting help with that can be quite frustrating.

Juno231 · 17/03/2021 16:23

Ha yeah google is a trap I fall into regularly! FSH is key for perimenopause so I'm glad yours was fine :)

Anyone else feeling like it's a Thursday today? Am sick of everything atm - work is boring yet stressful at the same time, there's nothing to do due to lockdown. My diet isn't going well at all - had to restart it yesterday after weighing myself and realising I weight the exact same I did on New Year's day lol.

I need a biiiiiiiig break and sunshine I think. And ideally to win the euromillions.

TheDaydreamBelievers · 17/03/2021 16:57

@Juno231 I keep thinking that what I really need is a month long sunny holiday, ideally a health and fitness holiday, with a spa... But no, stuck here in lockdown with hugely stressful work!

Kat668 · 17/03/2021 17:04

@Juno231 reading your message it literally felt as if I'd written if I feel so similar! Haha I think the waiting for baby stuff doesn't help lol. Hope work gets less stressful for you soon!

I'm now 3 days without the pill and have absolutely no symptoms whatsoever. Reading the cerelle thread everyone else got sore boots and a bit of sickness so not sure if I'm pleased I don't have anything or not? That probably sounds really weird ha ha.

Ttcin2021 · 17/03/2021 17:07

Agree on needing a holiday!! Counting the days until end of lockdown!’

Ttcin2021 · 17/03/2021 17:08

@Kat668 I had about 4 weeks without any symptoms or feelings at all.... then suddenly did and I think that was start of cycle but had 7 weeks with no bleeding etc.

Kat668 · 17/03/2021 17:22

@Ttcin2021ahh thank you! That makes me feel better, thought I was the only one not having symptoms soon. I've not had a period for like 12 years so think I'm getting too overly worried about it all!

Ttcin2021 · 17/03/2021 17:45

Oh my...

Kay00 · 17/03/2021 17:57

@Ttcin2021 Eeekkk!!! Amazing!!! Congratulations!!

@TheHotelCalifornia @Juno231 OMG I would totally kill to be sat on a sunny beach soaking up some rays, or getting a professional massage at a Spa ....... soon. Soon.

Kay00 · 17/03/2021 17:57
  • @TheDaydreamBelievers :D Sorry!
TheDaydreamBelievers · 17/03/2021 18:14

Brill lines @Ttcin2021!

I've decided that my goal before my follow up appt for bloods on 8th April is to lose 5kg. Maybe I will try to design my fitness holiday myself around work 🤔🤔🤔
