Welcome to the 11th (!) post pill party thread for women who have recently come off the pill. Where we can all come and discuss the highs and lows of TTC.

Please tag anyone I’ve missed!

@Charliecircle11 wowee that will be amazing once back on! Hopefully you could do it as a babymoon thing instead.

Yeah bit disappointing but we were so lucky to get married when we did and there are lots of people that are still waiting. We will go in 10 years, after all the kids haha

@ChinChilly please step away from the Fitbit!
My RHR was all over the place but dropped from 74 down to 68 and I was in a blind panic. That was at 6 weeks, I’m now 13 weeks and all is well. I know it’s hard but it will stress you out more keeping an eye on it x

So CD16 and not much going on.....lines are not particularly dark on the OPK. My ovusense chart has gone up though but oral temps haven’t. Not sure if I had a very early ovulation at didn’t test early in the cycle or I haven’t ovulated yet at all. I will carry on BD’ing just in case and will keep testing with OPKs just in case too. Will attach my ovusense chart. Anyone have any ideas?

In other news. All the searches have come back on the house we have purchased so hoping to exchange in the coming weeks and hope to be in before the stamp duty rise! Our buyers are in rented and have to give two months notice but I guess if they move in early it beats paying 5% over £250,000 purchase if we complete in July instead of June where we don’t pay they will still be saving money. I’m looking forward to getting into the new house and putting my stamp on it as we never did much in our current house as we knew it wasn’t going to be long term.

Spoke to GP as well who is going to refer me to get a pelvic scan done to see if there are any issues down below. Wants to also do another set of fertility bloods as well.

@Robyn101 I'm going to try ignore it, its dropped from 72 to 69 over the last 4 days so not a massive amount, in a fariness I've been so tired I've spent most of my times on my arse on the sofa. It's so hard to let go of watching these things 👀

@ChinChilly my RHR also dropped at 6 weeks ish pregnant. Now I know mine didnt ultimately work out but at that point things were a-okay!

@TheDaydreamBelievers ahh thanks that's reassuring, I wonder when this worrying will stop 🙄

@ChinChilly probably some time around their 30th birthday, when they start worrying about you!

@TheDaydreamBelievers that's very true 🤣

@WhirlingD I've just bought some cheap opks, not quite sure when to start using them. I'm thinking maybe one a day from around cd10? If I don't like them I might invest in more expensive ones in future cycles. Hopefully you have ovulate 🤞. Hopefully you find out by a bfp rather than af though!

@Charliecircle11 congrats on the wedding but sorry about the honeymoon! Did you take a full pack of pills and stop at the end or stop mid packet? I took my last on the 12th, but I only actually took 10 from the pack I didn't finish the month.

@Moocher90 congrats on everything going through with the house! Are you moving far? Hopefully you get a completion date soon 🤞

Cd4 today and period has ended, now just waiting to hopefully ovulate 🤞🤞

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow. Yes I’m moving about 70 miles away but to be closer to hubby’s side of family and mum lives 50 miles away from new address which is nearer than she is now

I stopped mid pack ☺️ I know you probably shouldn’t but I couldn’t wait! So impatient 😂

Excited to find track my cycle myself in a way, rather than relying on a little pill!

@Charliecircle11 definitely expect a bit of time to settle in. If a combined pill like Rigevidon or yasmin then it works by stopping you ovulating, so can take a wee minute to get going again. Your natural underlying rhythm may not be 28 days - the combined pill basically fakes a 28 day cycle for the user.

@ChinChilly it doesn't...... haha. Feel free to message if you need any reassurance. Midwife has really helped me!

@pineapple2021 Thank you 😊 I got my 3+ this morning so that's helped my irrational fears lol

@chinchilly yey! Congrats on the 3+ I agree though, you should stop tracking your rhr, you don't need that kind of stress xx

@whirlingD in answer to you question re temping. My advice is to set an early alarm and take your temp at that time every day, mine is 6am. It will become 2nd nature and you'll do it when you're half asleep eventually. Also, don't obsess about single temp fluctuations (like I used to) or about a night of broken sleep (I get up 3x every night for a pee!) Or about the odd glass of wine. I still see a pattern.

FF has now given my dotted crosshairs back and estimated 9DPO. This of course means I immediately took a FRER, which was negative. Silly woman that I am!!!

Yeah, time will tell. Been taking it for 15 years, so my body is probably like whhhatttt?!!! Hoping I am one of the lucky super fertile women, who catch as soon as they come off it but I have no idea how fertile I am. So daunting when you are trying for the first time!

@TheDaydreamBelievers Hahah step away from the FRERs! Just this morning I saw someone on reddit get a nice FRER line at 11dpo but she'd had zilch the night before!

Got my crosshairs this morning at 3DPO but weirdly they're dotted! I can't see anything on the chart that would make them dotted but god knows. Gimme a sec and I'll upload it!

There we go

Please forgive me for being dim but what do you mean by crosshairs?! 🥸

@Charliecircle11 Fertility Friend adds crosshairs on the day it thinks you ovulated. Normally they're solid red but can be dotted lines if FF is unsure. Dotted can be cause by eg. conflicting signs such as a temp rise that doesn't align with a positive ovulation test, if you log fertile mucus after the temp rise, or if your temps are all over the place so it's not sure if it's spotted a temp shift or not.

Ahhh I see, fab thank you for explaining 😬

Heres my chart @Juno231

@Charliecircle11 this is an example of one where FF is right to be confused!
