Post Pill Party - The Ceilidh

@MissC07 we stupidly put carpet down before we thought about having a dog! I think we’ll be putting a decent laminate down in the summer! I love mooching round home stores 😭 I wouldn’t mind our 3rd bedroom being an office...OH is slowly turning it into a gym 🥴

@Kay00 omg sanding down the woodwork...I hated that, got OHs mates to do most of it...they were paid with takeaways! 😂 I would definitely do things differently if I could go back to the reno stages!

That meal and those treats look amazing! Congratulations @Moocher90

@ChinChilly @cams50 I'm half way through renovating my house... its certainly fills my time but not hugely distracting I painted my hallway today and next weekend... more filling and sanding the woodwork!

@ChinChilly Thank god we've got wood floor throughout downstairs. Our pup is 7 months now but I think if we had carpet in the early stages I honestly would've lost it 🤣 so far we've decorated our lounge and my OH turned one of the bedrooms into his office...! We're trying to decorate the 3rd bedroom at the moment but I can't get motivated. It's also so hard when everywhere is still shut so you can't look round properly. I love walking round home stores looking at stuff!

@Cams50 I try and distract myself with home renovation Instagram pages now rather then any pregnancy announcement ones!

@Moocher90 Happy Wedding Anniversary! Sounds like you've had a lovely day

@TheDaydreamBelievers your RHR does look super positive!

@Cams50 instrgram is so good for house ideas!! I’m thinking a more industrial look for downstairs 🤔

@Moocher90 sounds like you had a lovely day! Happy anniversary both ❤️

Evening all xx 2nd wedding anniversary today. We went for a nice 5 mile walk. Hubby got me a cushion with some lovely memories on from our wedding, it’s cotton for the 2nd year married. Also got me some chocolate well gluten and dairy free expensive stuff for a company called gorge. I’ve cooked a nice gluten free roast dinner too. I got him the heart smash with cupcakes and sweets

@Kay00 good luck with the baby shower! I’m sure it’ll be lovely but still difficult when you’re trying.

@TheDaydreamBelievers the rhr looks super positive! Also I still thought your chart looked like you had ovulated as there was such a dip and rise even if your later temps weren’t crazy high.

@ChinChilly and @MissC07 ohh doing things to the house is fun! I’ve started looking more at house things to try to distract myself more from ttc.

@MissC07 ooo id love to get our bathroom and kitchen done! There’s nothing wrong with them they’re very neutral but just not to my taste! We’ve got a big kitchen though and it needs taking back to brick so it’ll probs be a re-mortgage jobbie! We painted our hallway and kitchen white and then got a dog 😂 i do keep on top of wiping it all down but the paint just looks tired now!

We also had light grey carpet in the living/dining room then had the window knocked out and doors put to lead into the garden - the plasters weren’t tidy! And light carpet with a dog is a nightmare

@abi555 keeping my fingers crossed for you! I hope you get some answers in the next few days

@Flowers222 Your chart looks good!!

@Kay00 Good luck with the baby shower, hope you get to just eat loads of food and drink! 🍰🍾

@ChinChilly Joining you on the house refresh! We only moved in here in May but because we're here constantly with WFH we keep noticing things we want to do. We're getting our bathroom done in April which involves smashing a wall down. I am not looking forward to the dust and noise 😱

Bomb had been deactivated and taken away, no need for evacuation, thank god! If anyone lives in the west midlands you might spot it on the local news!

@Kay00 my friend accidently fell pregnant a week before she was going to have her coil fitted, she’s about to half 2 under 2! It took her a year to concieve the older one post pill so she gets the struggles, i do sometimes feel a prang of jealousy though

Planning a redecorate and move around of the house in a the summer to keep me busy. Was only done 2 and a half years ago but deffo needs a refresh

Im going to the first of two baby showers planned for this week in about 30 mins. Meh.

Im super pleased my friend is pregnant, but she fell pregnant on her first attempt and im the only one in this group (of old school friends) who isn't pregnant or already a mum.

Wish me luck ladies 🙃🙃🙃

@abi555 its still way days and I'd say your line is quite clear. Maybe leave it for a couple of days and if AF stats away test again. Just focus on you for the next couple of days... a little pampering perhaps?

@thedaydreambelievers 😪 sorry your crosshairs have been taken away, it has happened to me a couple of times and it sucks. On those occasions though I did go on to ovulate later in the cycle xx

@abi555 I think that’s a positive!! That’s a clear line to me. And as @Flowers222 says about the HSG doubling every two days, it might mean that it’s stronger tomorrow. And your temps are still high. And as @ChinChilly said, spotting and cramping can also be a sign of pregnancy.

Also that’s crazy about the bomb!

@abi555 I'm sorry it's no clearer. It definitely looks positive, that is a line. Hopefully it will get stronger 🤞 HCG only doubles every 2 days so it just might take time to get darker.

@abi555 I think there is all sorts lurking in these canals! That’s really difficult to say because those tests definitely look positive, I’m sure if they were evaps they would be more grey! And i think spotting in early pregnancy is normal... Hopefully it will become more clearer over the next few days

@ChinChilly OMG how scary/exciting! Crazy that it has been there all this time undiscovered!

@Juno231 still not sure what to think tbh. Had another faint line this morning, but it's definitely no stronger that the one yesterday and possibly slightly weaker. Pic attached, but again, I took the photo later than I should have as was a bit sad when I saw it wasn't strong and so threw it away and went back to it later on.... /idiot!
Temps still high. But had a tiny bit of light spotting this morning, boobs no longer tender and some cramping now developing. AF due today (got my dates mixed up as thought it was yesterday) and so pretty sure AF now arriving. If anything is there, I'm pretty certain it isn't sticking.
Bit gutted if honest. Defo will not be testing before AF in the future... not worth the headf*ck of squinting at tests!!

@Sperr oooooh, good luck, good to know you still have a chance this month

@Flowers222 nice looking chart!

@Flowers222 I hope not because I really can’t be bothered! Keeping everything crossed for your BFP in a few days!

@Sperr I think one step are normally ok to be honest

@Gracie2021 @Flowers222 thanks!

Did someone say one step tests are useless? I accidentally bought them 🤨. It didn’t say that’s what the brand was on Amazon and then when they arrived that’s what they were! So annoying

Hello ladies, I hope you are all enjoying your Sunday's! Though @ChinChilly sounds like you are having an exciting day! Hope you don't end up having to evacuate

@Kay00 hopefully things will settle down for you but great you have the support to go private to get things moving if needed! I would definitely consider it. I keep looking at what tests you can get done.

@minipilling sorry it looks like AF is on the way. Mine usually starts like that.

@Sperr at least now it looks like your O day was later you are definitely still in with a shot. I have my fingers crossed for you! 🤞

So 8dpo today. Had some odd twinges and cramping yesterday that I am trying not to read into. Apart from that nothing. Temps are still on the rise. I am determined to wait until 12dpo to test this time.

@Gracie2021 we’ve had quite a few found around here, I think this area was quite heavily bombed during the war, the local church has WW2 bomb damage (we had to pay for an insurance policy for said church when we brought this house can’t remeber what it’s called)

The last GP i spoke to said it takes a good 6 months for your cycles to go back to normal. I wouldn’t go back on it either told OH he’d have to have the snip by the look on his face I doubt he will 😂

@ChinChilly amazing to think that something like that can sit undiscovered for so long in such a busy stretch surrounded by so many people. Imagine how many more are out there. Madness. Yeah I was on for ten years too. Will never go back on. Definitely put how long TTC is taking down to the pill. Six whole months to feel I've gotten it out of my system.
