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.....

@Ttcin2021 congratulations! Those are definite lines there 😃

Ttcin2021 · 17/03/2021 18:24

Thanks..... we’re just sat looking at each other in shock right now.

MissC07 · 17/03/2021 18:27

@Ttcin2021 Wooo!!! Congratulations x

@Ttcin2021 congratulations! How exciting! Can I just ask how many DPO you are and if you’ve had symptoms?

Ttcin2021 · 17/03/2021 18:55

So according to FF I’m 11DPO but natural cycles 10DPO so one of those is correct. No major symptoms I’ve had sore boobs but not super painful..... weirdly I’ve had a nosebleed most days for the last 10 days but I thought that was because I caught my nose doing a covid test. I do tend to get nosebleeds but like once every 6 months but daily! I googled it and I think it’s sometimes an early symptom. I feel like other people have had loads more symptoms so I don’t feel pregnant but maybe overthinking!

ChinChilly · 17/03/2021 18:55

@Ttcin2021 congratulations!! 🎉

@Juno231 Yep feeling exactly the same! Also feeling like I can’t catch a break atm! Its just been a crappy few months;
November - suspected CP
December - Car crash
January - Caught COVID
February - Spained ankle (ok not so bad but its still swollen)
March - CP

Wonder what April has planned for me 🤔 seriously need to good luck my way 🙄

Flowers222 · 17/03/2021 19:11

@Ttcin2021 congrats!!! Great lines

Tillybabs · 17/03/2021 20:19

@Ttcin2021how long have you been off the pill for?

Ttcin2021 · 17/03/2021 20:27

I came off on 4th Jan and had a 45 day cycle so this is second one. Sorry..... I know it’s shit as some of you have been trying for so long. I think maybe it’s one of those straight off the pill and more fertile things. Equally.... convinced this won’t actually stick... we will see.

TheHotelCalifornia · 17/03/2021 20:37

[quote Kay00]@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.[/quote]
Hahaha @Kay00 I'd also kill to be sat on a sunny beach so do not even worry about the mistaken tag here!! Just to be sat ANYWHERE other than my house tbh! arghhhh

TheHotelCalifornia · 17/03/2021 20:49

@Ttcin2021 congratulations! Wonderful news 😊

@thedaydreambelievers glad you’re getting appts sorted and getting seen. Good that you can start DTD again from the 8th, I can imagine how frustrating this waiting has been for you. Waiting is just the worst isn’t it. Every bladdy day I’m waiting for something, it’s so annoying. Good luck for your weight loss plans, what are you thinking of doing? Xxx

@kay00 hope you’re okay after your Google rabbit hole. I do this pretty much daily and it’s just the worst. Guaranteed to ruin my day I find!!

@Juno231 agree about needing a holibobs. How are we all feeling about holidays this summer? We have nothing booked but would looooove to do a last second booking if things were open and seem safe…I guess. Like right now I can’t imagine it but I’d also love it!
My DH loves craft beer – does yours? If so, maybe a monthly beer delivery, Beer52 or similar? I bought DH a pizza oven for Xmas/birthday (wife goals, I know) and will be buying pizza-related gifts for the foreseeable I think! It’s honestly the best gift as I get to eat all the pizza!! If not a voucher for a pub that does outdoor dining maybe, ready for April? Something you can look forward to and enjoy together.

@Cams50 sorry to hear you think AF may be on her way ☹ xxx

@Sperr so sorry to hear you haven’t ovulated yet ☹ Interesting that the soy didn’t seem to have much of an effect? Really hope you O soon lovely xxx

@MissC07 totally get your frustration but agree with the other girls that you def aren’t out!! Keeping everything crossed for you lovely xxx

TheHotelCalifornia · 17/03/2021 20:56

Ok soz for spamming but girls I have to share – I got a flashing smiley on an advanced clear blue digital ovulation test this morning!! I know it’s not quite ovulation but honestly I nearly fell off the bed when I saw it!! CD13!!! I started doing it CD11 and got 2 days of the blank circle, and a flashing smiley today!! So going to BD every day until WE CAN’T BD ANY LONGER DAMNIT and hopefully I’ll get a static soon. I just can’t believe it – could it be my agnus castus and B6 are doing what I hoped they would?? My earliest ovulation was CD26, the one just gone, post miscarriage, was 42. So honestly just a bit in shock but very happy that my body at least seems to be trying to do what it should?? 😊 Fingers crossed!

Kay00 · 17/03/2021 21:02

@thehotelcalifornia woop!! Hopefully this is your body doing what it should... right on time! Amazing!

Re holidays I'm going to Cornwall in April (4 nights near in a cute fishing village, lots of coastal walks... literally can't wait), we're going to Centre Parcs with friends in October (😆😆😆) and I have a week booked off in July... definitely up for a last minute flight somewhere if restrictions anf vaccines allow!

TheDaydreamBelievers · 17/03/2021 21:09

@TheHotelCalifornia that's assuming the tests come back clear. If they come back suspicious then I have to wait for a follow up test around June 9th or so (12 weeks after this blood test).

We have one holiday booked in May and one in August - both short breaks, still in Scotland (where we are)

MissC07 · 17/03/2021 21:16

@TheHotelCalifornia Wooo for flashing smiley faces!! Keeping everything crossed for a nice earlier O date for you!

Re holidays we had to move our Portugal holiday from last July to this June. But I've just moved it again to Aug bank hol as I wanted to give travel time to sort itself out a bit! I've got a week off in June and 3 days in July for my birthday (it's my bdy, then my dads then mums all consecutive 🤣) But will probably just stay in the UK! I might try and sneak another abroad hol in Nov if I can!

Sperr · 17/03/2021 21:52

@TheHotelCalifornia thanks - I should have just been patient as my normal cycle wasn’t that bad 😂. I’m just being patient and keeping going! What did you take to bring ovulation sooner?

Tillybabs · 17/03/2021 21:53

@Ttcin2021 don’t feel bad, it’s just one of those things. Gosh that has happened super quick for you!
I really hope you have a sticky bean. That’s a pretty good line for 10dpo so looking good.

@TheHotelCalifornia excellent! It sounds like your body is getting back to its normal cycle again. Enjoy the BD-ing lol

Moocher90 · 17/03/2021 22:58

@Ttcin2021 congratulations on the BFP! Xx

Cams50 · 18/03/2021 06:07

@TheHotelCalifornia thank you! 11dpo today so I tested just in case and bfn. But must be grateful for a better lp! Yay for an earlier ovulation!! 😀

@Ttcin2021 congrats!! Amazing news. Such strong lines.

I’m fantasising about holidays now. They all sound amazing 🤩

Gracie2021 · 18/03/2021 07:57

@Ttcin2021 congratulations you must be thrilled. And lovely clear dark lines.

@Cams50 sorry about the BFN. It great that your O and LP are going where you want them to.

@MissC07 can understand the frustration. I've been there. But -2 per studies is one of the most fertile days so you're still well in the game. I only had -2 and -3 last month so checked into it.

@TheHotelCalifornia yay for ovulation. Enjoy the BD. Sounds like ye're all over it!!

@TheDaydreamBelievers that's such a good idea to be productive during that wait. Going to try take inspiration from you and start the diet myself too. Again🙈!

@Kay00 google can be such a terrifying thing sometimes. And so hard to stay away. So frustrating that your GP didn't refer you straight away. Have you decided if you wait her out or try another Avenue?

@ChinChilly here's for a good April for you. You're due some luck for sure. Here's hoping for an uneventful fertile month ahead!! Tbh every month here feels like Groundhog Day. Nothing happening at all on any front. Think I'd be reassured by a CP at this stage. Not to diminish anyone's loss in this area so hope I don't offend by saying that but it would at least let me know that my body was doing something....

@Juno231 I'm with you. Sick of it all. Really struggling at the moment. And the timetable here for someone my age and job is May of next year so holidays are a far off event. You're definitely right to plan for some sunshine if you can though.

Sperr · 18/03/2021 08:08

Maybe just maybe yesterday was O 😂. How many times will I say that in one cycle 😂😂😂. My temp is the highest it’s been this cycle so fingers crossed for more to follow!

@Juno231 I would literally kill for a holiday. I would give anything for some sunshine and time off work!

Gracie2021 · 18/03/2021 08:15

@Sperr fingers crossed this is it 🤞 you must be wrecked! I've heard B complex is good for regulating cycles. I was on it for a year before going off the pill anyway so can't say if it's down to that but my one big positive these days is finally being back to my pre pill clockwork cycle. Might be something to do with the vit B.......

Sperr · 18/03/2021 09:10

@Gracie2021thank you! I may order some b complex. Or I may just try doing nothing 😂. Luckily this was the month I decided to focus more on fitness otherwise I think I’d be going crazy waiting . OH did ask me this morning if I’ve ovulated yet so I think he’s getting tired too. Hopefully just a couple more times before O is actually confirmed 🤞🤞🤞

Juno231 · 18/03/2021 09:17

@sperr fingers crossed it was!

@Ttcin2021 haha aren't you glad you got a FRER! Those lines are beautiful, congratulations! And don't be silly about feeling guilty, we're here to celebrate with you xx

CD6 here so nothing fun to report, I'm reading all your messages but mainly just lurking atm :)

Sperr · 18/03/2021 10:14

Ladies we have a closed cervix again 🤞😅

I have an important zoom meeting today - I currently have lounge wear on the bottom and a blouse on the top 😂. I haven’t worn a blouse probably since this time last year!! Our office is closed to the public so we wear casuals if we go in. I kinda miss smart clothes a little.
