Post Pill Party – The Garden Soiree

@Lovebug06 you'd definitely get referred anyway. All tests can come back fine but they don't test for everything (eg NK cells, DNA frag as part of SA - it's too expensive) and there's plenty of things that can be wrong that they can't even test for with modern medicine yet. E.g. you might ovulate every month but the follicle membrane is too strong to release the egg - all tests would show ovulation is fine etc etc but your OH's swimmers would never even meet the egg.

Not to worry you but I just don't like it when people tell me that because my fertility tests were fine that everything is clearly okay cause that's not at all what it means.

@abi555 hahaah we bloody knew it! Hope your OH withdrew his scepticism and admitted he'd been a poo for not celebrating with you! Congratulations and please pay the TTC recap toll

@Moocher90 will you be able to dtd today... just to cover all basis?? How long are you off the pill??

Here is mine this morning, I am so disappointed cause I got my hopes up yest when it was the highest it has been!!

@Springflower3 we did DTD but my OPKs are crazy strong still. That was with my FMU at 6am this morning

@abi555 Massive congratulations! Amazing 🥰

@Kay00 I feel like I'm a bit behind getting this all done but it's still steps. I think he will be fine as he has dc already but you never know!
I hope these 2 weeks fly for you, if its good maybe I will look into private, I've heard good things from another girl.

My MIL has decided I will not be getting pregnant at all until I receive treatment and said I need to forget about it now until I've had help....
Maybe so. But nobody has told me this so I'm a bit

I think even if DH sperm is fine, and my bloods were good, we will still get referred due to the time we have been trying? I think this is right and bloody hope so. Just checking incase the doctors try and fob me off, Its what I'm clinging to!

@abi555 HUGE congratulations!!!!!

@firsttimemummy321 how you doing today? xx

@Lovebug06 Good luck with DH's SA, hopefully you will fall pregnant naturally, but it certainly feels good to be getting the ball rolling with investigations. I really can't wait for my 1st appointment in 2 weeks time, even if i'm paying private.

Swinging by to say congratulations to @abi555!! There's no denying that FRER result 🤩

@abi555 congratulations! Can I ask how long you've been trying? Sorry I get everyone mixed up. Sorry if you have already answered this I need to catch up on this thread.

I am 11dpo. Feel nothing except tender boobs which I've had for probably 3/4 days. Had a few spots but nothing major. That's it. Totally different from last month, but that has happened to me numerous times. Had those cramps after ovulation for a few days which is odd but also had that last month for the first time!
I'm starting to think about it more now as it's approaching... The sdc won't be here this saturday, so at least I can cry as much as I need to without worrying they'll notice 🤣
Cycle 16 has flown by for me. I have no idea why. Quickest of them all
DH sperm analysis tommorow finally.
Feel like i am seriously behind what I should be doing seeing as I am nearly cycle 17 and this is only just being done. But at least it's something.

Apologies in advance as I will most likely be feeling horrific this weekend and be posting on here very upset! But it's because I know you all understand me.

Need to catch up on everyone's messages since I last posted. Hope your all feeling okay

@abi555 Amazing! So happy for you. :D

@abi555 massive congratulations 🥳 so happy for you! The wait was worth it!!

@Moocher90 how did you get on last night??

I took a opk this morning and I’m still 0.29 so I don’t think anything much is gonna happen in the next few days... just feeling so deflated. I’m sick of feeling bloated and sore boobs.... if the opk was actually going up I would feel more positive!!

@abi555 That line is clear as day, no mistaking that! Congratulations on your BFP! 👏🏼

@abi555 congratulations!!! So happy for you!! I hope everything is going well with the new house too! ❤️

@FlyingGiraffe snap me too! I’m glad since AF finished we have had sex 5 times abs we will squeeze one in tonight but last cycle I ovulated the next morning so if my temp is higher 2mo then I prob won’t bother DTD 2mo night

@abi555 congrats again xxx so happy for you please put your journey when you have the chance if you haven’t already x

@abi555 Congratulations! ☺️

@Moocher90 Snap with the peak opk today! I've had ovulation pain tonight so hoping to dtd before bed and then just keep my fingers crossed! 🤞🤞

@abi555 congratulations!!! That is clear as day 😊

@abi555 ahh yay!!! Congratulations!!! That's a great line!!!!

So an update from me... waited all day and amazon delivery FINALLY turned up about an hour ago. Could have kicked myself when opened the packet as realised I'd bought a first response rapid test rather than a FRER and packet said not to use prior to missed period or it might not show up.

Decided to test anyway and I think it's fairly safe to say its a BFP!!

Feels so unreal! Think me and OH are in a little bit of shock. Also slightly nervous about the spotting I've had on and off all day. AF due on friday according to FF, so we have decided to celebrate properly at the weekend when I'm officially late!

Fingers crossed for a sticky bean! And thank you so much for all your support on here ladies, you are all amazing

Thanks everyone 💕 will update on how the scan goes tomorrow

@CaptainGT pre baby we would usually wake up earlier and do it in the morning as was too tired at night 😂

@CaptainGT when we go to bed at night... if someone doesnt fall asleep first #ModernLife

@CaptainGT just to show you how much shagging I'm doing! 😤😤
I don't even know what's going on in my house, I work shifts so one week 6am-2pm then the next 2pm-10pm so on 2-10 we very rarely have sex, just sneak an episode of something in and then go sleep.. but last week he said he doesn't want to make it the normal to not be DTD on 2-10 so we had sex, once hahaha then was supposed to have sex last night but he started sneezing so didn't feel up to it 😂 someone find my sex life please It seems to have got lost 😂

Have fun @Moocher90 ;)

Speaking of DTD I am really struggling to build it into my day... especially with the commute back from the office.

When are people even doing it?!?

Thanks @MissC07 I’ve actually just today purchased the ovesense cause I think it will be easier? I am hoping it is easier 🤣🤣
I’m actually sick of dehydrating myself just to take an opk! I drink a lot during the day....and if I don’t I get headaches! How do people get darker lines in the evenings after drinking all day!!

@firsttimemummy321 I'm so sorry, sending you a virtual hug x

@Moocher90 Woo congratulations on the peak!

@Springflower3 I know it's easier said than done but try not to worry too much. My OPK's are darkest at 11am and get lighter throughout the day. I highly recommend temping so you know whether to bother with OPK's or not.

Well that’s me disheartened! Came home from work, tested again and my LH is now 0.14 after being 0.28 this morning 😕
