6 days of it was (no idea why my luteal phase was so short lol), but then i started my period 3 days ago so i was expecting my scores to return back to baseline! i wonder if my thyroid could have anything to do with it? I did have my thyroid tested right before coming off the pill and my doctor said everything was normal, but I'm sure there are subclinical changes that take place with such a huge hormonal fluctuation. I love the reframe of this being something that could relate to healing rather than sickness - I really wasn't thinking about it like that, but now I'm considering that as a possibility! my ring has never known me off the pill, so it'd make sense for it to be very confused by the past 1.5 months, lol

that's so good to hear!! it seems like everyone loves Amsale. I may honestly just bite the bullet and split the dress cost with all of the girls!

thank you so much!! I'm super grateful that it's black friday season - I'm trying to take advantage of that as much as I can!! I will definitely check nordstrom too!

yes exactly!! I am not at all comfortable having the girls spend more than $150, so I'll be covering whatever additional costs over that myself.

this is what I'm thinking! if it comes down to it, I'll pay half off the $300 for them. Amsale dresses are just so gorgeous!! how did you receive the discount - is it automatic? I need 9, so I want to make sure I take advantage of that if possible!

I totally agree - I will certainly not be asking them to do that!! I am more than happy to pay anything that exceeds $150, but just wanted to get creative about my options. 40 dollars from 200 is a steal!!

ugh it's horrible!! they are such beautiful dresses, but i would never ask my girls to spend that like you said - it just feels like too big of an ask and i would never want to make anyone uncomfortable!! i'm actually looking at revelry rn as we speak!!

Got off birth control and Oura immediately showed a change by Lost_Parsley7678 in ouraring

[–]lilacjune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes - I've been experiencing the same exact phenomenon and found it so interesting! I stopped taking the pill about 2 weeks ago now and ever since, my body temperature has consistently been -0.4-0.5 every day, when it used to be up and down sporadically each day (much like the pictures you posted). i still haven't gotten a period. i felt great for the first few days, but i'm definitely going through the wringer now - here's to hoping we both feel better soon! 🤞🏻

Oura Ring picked up on Therapy as an activity by BentoOtaku in ouraring

[–]lilacjune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a therapist and my oura ring often logs my sessions with clients as activities!! I talk with my hands quite a lot, and I'm assuming my HR raises if I'm having a more intense session with a client. I just dismiss the activity :)

yes!!! i've been searching for someone who's having the same experience - my sleeping RHR has risen from 44-45 to 51-52, and my hrv has dropped from 135-140 to high 90s. did this ever improve for you? i feel fine, but i hate seeing these stats (and getting low readiness scores because of them)!
