Tables laden with high-end afternoon tea, beautiful bouquets of fresh flowers, and a string quartet playing softly in the background…it’s the Post Pill Party Garden Soiree! The girls have swapped their checked shirts for pastel dresses and it’s time to sit back and relax after a stressful few weeks (months…years!!)

Welcome to the 10th (!) post pill party thread for women who have recently come off the pill. Whether you’re struggling with an insanely long cycle or an insanely short cycle, your luteal phase is crazy short, your temps are all over the place, or you’re just feeling like if you see one more day of a damn flashing smiley you’re going to throw it out the window…we’re here for you. Perch yourself daintily in a chair and join us!

@chinchilly looks like a missed a load of messages before I posted mine xx sorry its looking like an indent xx definitely test if AF doesn't turn up by Sunday/Monday just in case xx

ChinChilly · 08/04/2021 12:04

@Flowers222 I am actually strangely ok about it, I think because the ICs have been 100% negative I kind of didn’t believe it when it popped up anyway.

I’ve had a chat with my friend and I’m going to have a month off tracking, no OPKS no BBT! OH will be more than happy to commit to BD every other day anyway 😂 Gonna try plan some stuff to do to keep my mind off it. I don’t think doing all those things are particularly stressing me out but I feel like I’m over it all now 😂

Flowers222 · 08/04/2021 11:58

@ChinChilly that is really cruel! So bad to get your hopes up like that, I'm sorry. I'd say cd25 should hopefully be ok for 21 days tests. Hopefully they can be a little flexible though if needed!

ChinChilly · 08/04/2021 11:34

@Kay00 I think it’s a false alarm so I won’t be in a rush to test again 😂 @pineapple2021 I agree maybe just take a step back from the November group x

ChinChilly · 08/04/2021 11:34

@Juno231 I didn’t even ask my GP to be honest I was on the verge of tears and just wanted to get off the phone lol, My doctors is a nightmare for blood tests its always fully booked for weeks in advance, I was about CD14 when I spoke to her and she said there was no availability for a few weeks! So I’ll have to make sure I time it well I may just book in for CD25 and hope for the best

Kay00 · 08/04/2021 11:13

@ChinChilly tentative: eeekkk!!! I think waiting until Sunday is a good idea and you should make plans to relax and enjoy your Friday and Saturday in the mean time xx

@pineapple2021 Love the name... and the pineapple decor haha! Sorry you're feeling stressed though? Perhaps take a step away from the November mums group for a little while?

Juno231 · 08/04/2021 11:06

@ChinChilly yeah cd25 sound reasonable. My GPs were pretty flexible so from memory the cycle I had my test was the latest I've ever ovulated (typical!) so moved it twice based on BBT. Others are a pain to get an appointment with though. My GP did say from the start to go off my BBT as I'll know best when to take the CD21 test - I was surprised at that! Totally expected her to hardcore insist on cd21 and tell me bbt was worth bugger all.

ChinChilly · 08/04/2021 10:42

@Juno231 I was pretty shocked when I checked the unused FRER and there was an obvious grey indent line! I’m ok about it to be honest, I would of been extremely lucky to catch again straight away! Just waiting tor AF to turn up! On the plus side this is the longest LP I’ve had.

So the GP said when my next period starts to call in for 21 day bloods shall I just book them for about CD25 seen as I know I don’t ovulate until CD18 or just book them in for CD21 and explain after? I’ve only ever ovulated once at CD14 🙄

Juno231 · 08/04/2021 10:37

@ChinChilly omg how cruel!! I'm really sorry the tests have messed with you like that :(

ChinChilly · 08/04/2021 10:33

@Gracie2021 @Cams50 the IC was stark white so that’s why I’m thinking its a indent, I’ve seen a couple of women here on here mentioning indents on FRERs recently, maybe there’s just a bad batch going round.

Gracie2021 · 08/04/2021 10:21

@ChinChilly I see something there so a tentative woohoo. But, and sorry to be a downer, I got stung so bad by two indent lines last month so will just continue keeping everything crossed for you for your next test!

@Flowers222 fingers crossed for you for tomorrow.

@TheHotelCalifornia here's hoping it's a sign of something positive..... love a good pun 🥰

No news here, just looking at the waves....

Cams50 · 08/04/2021 09:46

@ChinChilly I’ve never had an indent line in my year of ttc so I still think it’s something!

@MissC07 yes I’m so excited for hairdressers to reopen! My roots are taking on a life of their own. I’ve one booked for Saturday week 😃

ChinChilly · 08/04/2021 09:27

Soooo I think I’m going to take it as an indent..it has now disappeared off the piss stick and the other unused FRER has a very visable grey line. It definitely looked pink when it first came up but it seems to have dissolved 😂

Juno231 · 08/04/2021 09:23

@ChinChilly fingers crossed this is a sticky bean!! tentative congrats in the meantime

TheDaydreamBelievers · 08/04/2021 09:18

@ChinChilly I can see that line!

@Cams50 unfortunately my experience is that GPs wont do bloods related to pregnancy and the EPU wont see you until after 7wks pregnant

ChinChilly · 08/04/2021 09:13

@Flowers222 I fell into a black hole of photo editting now 😂😂 your temps still look good.

It looks clearer in black & white...eurgh hate the wait and see...my parents never taught me patience clearly 😂

Post Pill Party – The Garden Soiree
Flowers222 · 08/04/2021 09:05

@ChinChilly I definitely see a line and I don't think it is an indent. I really hope this is it for you but completely understand why you would be nervous! 🤞

@TheHotelCalifornia those temperatures have gone really high! Great looking chart!

Slight temp drop today, though it is the exact same temp I got at 13dpo last cycle so not that excited yet. I would usually have start spotting by this point though. I will see what happens with my temps tomorrow and then think about testing.

ChinChilly · 08/04/2021 08:48

@Cams50 @pineapple2021 now I’m wondering it it’s an indent 🤔 GAHHH just going to have to see what happens over the next few days! Who ever said this TTC malarkey is fun is a liar! My GP has bloods fully booked for weeks in advance 🙄 I’m just going to have to sit on my hands...I only have one FRER left after last month POAS spree so I’m going to leave it until Saturday 🤞🏼

pineapple2021 · 08/04/2021 08:43

@ChinChilly ahhh that is def a line!! I googled tests for my DPO and there is such variation and like someone has already said could be later implantation. Keeping fingers tightly crossed!

Cams50 · 08/04/2021 08:42

@ChinChilly eek! Tentative congrats 🎉 I totally get why you’re worrying after two chemicals but also the amount of threads I read where the test didn’t get darker for quite a while! It could be later implantation. And considering you did that test two days ago didn’t you, the test has gotten darker since then. Got everything crossed for you 🤞🏻 I wonder can you ring the gp or early pregnancy unit and explain the situation and your past chemicals? Would they give you a blood test or anything?

@TheHotelCalifornia thank you! They haven’t given us any advice. We were just told to repeat the test so we’ll see what happens after that. I presume we’ll just get referred to the fertility specialist which will take a few months. It’s all such a long process isn’t it. Your chart looks amazing! You’re definitely still in with a shot. What symptoms did you have when you got pregnant the first time if you don’t mind me asking? Did you have symptoms by this point then? Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻❤️

ChinChilly · 08/04/2021 08:32

Guys, there is a line and it is pink irl....BUT if I’m 13dpo I would expect it to be darker... the fear of history repeating its self is high right now 🥴

@ChinChilly finally got the app to join all the November mums to be (which by the way I do not recommend it's done nothing but make me stress and stress.... I'm literally a mess). Also have an obsession with pineapple decor!

ChinChilly · 08/04/2021 08:25

@pineapple2021 love the new name!

pineapple2021 · 08/04/2021 08:24

Also it's still me (@Ttcin2021 ) just have a new login!

pineapple2021 · 08/04/2021 08:23

@ChinChilly how many DPO are you today? Yeah the BFN fear is horrid but your rhr and temps don't show any signs that would happen. Are you still holding your fmu?!
