Post Pill Party – The Garden Soiree

@Ttcin2021 I think I’m just feeling nervous about seeing a BFN!

@MissC07 OMG so excited for the hairdressers! My hair is so long I closed it in a draw as inshit it the other day and not just caught the ends about half of my pony tail was stuck in the draw! It hasn’t been coloured for 3 years either so I’m hopeing to walk out like a new woman 😂

@FlyingGiraffe you could try converting them and see it it makes more of a clearer pattern

@ChinChilly I’m just sat reading these hoping for the best for you all and omg your chart...... please test!! It’s way better than mine when I got my BFP! Crossing my fingers for you!

@ChinChilly your chart is looking good! How you haven't POAS yet I don't know! Fingers crossed for when you do!

@TheHotelCalifornia keeping everything crossed for you too!

@Emmgrem I might give acupuncture a try next cycle as I've heard good things. I had it once when I had sciatica and it was the only thing thing that got rid of it. I actually found it so relaxing!!

Anybody else excited about hairdressers and beauty salons opening on Monday?! I'm hoping it'll cheer me up and make me feel better. Although the earliest they could fit me in for my hair colour was 8th May 🙈

@Emmgrem Thank you! Ah that's so annoying when you don't know when AF is actually due...oh to have a regular cycle eh?! Although saying that mine are fairly regular apart from the luteal phase is short and ends whenever it fancies! It's definitely not a TWW for me...more like a one week wait!

@ChinChilly You are leaving us in suspense! Chart is looking really good!

@TheHotelCalifornia Like @Kay00 said - that sounds promising! Fingers crossed!

Not much news here. CD4 and my chart is looking like the Rockies. I've been waking up at different times each day but hopefully it'll settle - otherwise I may just give in and convert them all to the same time!

@TheHotelCalifornia I’m sitting on my hands at the moment, I haven’t even had FMU yet 😬 I logged onto my laptop early and fell into a black hole of work 😂 your chart still look fab!

Morning ladies! @ChinChilly @TheHotelCalifornia eek, hopefully both really promising signs!

@TheHotelCalifornia not really, I’ve had a few waves of nausea but I think that’s because it’s all making me abit nervous & my nipples have been tingling and achy but that is a normal pre AF symptom for me.

My FF chart and my RHR have got me like 👀 this morning! I’m trying not to get excited though because all my charts have trolled me like this before!

@FlyingGiraffe ahh hey thank you!
So it's the clipper one if that helps? This one https://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/clipper-organic-relaxing-infusion-raspberry-leaf-tea-bags-60092629?skuid=092629&utmcampaign=shopping&utmmmedium=cpc&utmsource=google&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsLWDBhCmARIsAPSL331GRU7P0w-ckpvDOhzqa-qapuHMdlLsmJSNv3lg-NBhxoQcukcPUQaArffEALwwcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

AF is due a week today according to FF but then my cycles have been so random- I've had two at 18 days long, one at 25 days, and two at 33 days 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Acupuncture is once a week- give it a go next cycle! It's certainly been an experience - it's not painful and I usually hate needles.

Ahh yeah I use conceive plus.. although didn't use it much this cycle as I had more CM- I had grapefruit juice and EPO around my ovulation and think that might've helped 😂

brings triangle sarnies and scones thank you for the new thread ❤️❤️

@TheHotelCalifornia your chart is saying Mount Kilimanjaro to me! So clean! Yes I'm clicking into charts like mine on FF before I even know I'm doing it. It's the stats in there that get Me. Give me too much hope. At the moment charts like mine have a 39% pregnancy rate. It's dangerous for getting hopes up. Cause last month I had rises til 12 DPO and it was telling me 55% pregnancy then I got an indent line and well that was great craic. Moral of the story charts like mine = a dangerous addiction.

@MissM94 could you have a word with someone higher up and explain it's awkward working for your MIL but you don't want to offend her abd could they come up with an excuse for switching you?

@Kat668 looks like there's a few of us in the middle of the TWW at the moment. Always good to have company x

@Kay00 Oh yes, I will fall asleep in the sun after 1 glass!

Haha, I'll join you under the hedge... I have drunk so little in the last 10 months that I get really drunk after 1 x small glass of vino at the moment 😅🥂

Arriving late at the garden party, clutching 3 bottles of rose. Now I'm off to lie by myself under the hedge and drink my wine x

(Meaningless chart attached for anyone interested)

@Kat668 I knowww, when did people get so anti-kid?! Haha people are shit 😂

@Gracie2021 thank you! Yeah you’re right. It’s better we know now rather than another year down the line and we can try to improve it hopefully. That’s very interesting about the symptoms! It makes perfect sense. It must be your body adjusting back to normal.

@Kat668 thank you!! Eek your first tww is very exciting but also the longest two weeks of your life!! So much patience is required for ttc 😒 but hopefully you’ll get that bfp asap ❤️

Thanks for the new thread (I was briefly in the last one but didn't have much to report yet!)

I'm one week into my first TWW and struggling with patience ha ha! Pretty certain it's a no go this cycle so just want to hurry up and get to the next one!

@MissM94 and @Kay00 sorry you've had to put up with these awful comments :( people can be so insensitive!

@ChinChilly keeping everything crossed for a BFP on Friday!

@Cams50 sorry you've had this result but as others have said at least something can be done. Hugs

@Gracie2021 she's my supervisor so I could change onto the other team but there's no 'good' reason why I would change without telling her it's cos I can't stand her 😂 which makes for a very awkward personal life hahaha FML

@Kay00 omg if the cruise is the reason, firstly what strategic thinking, secondly what a small thing to influence someone not to procreate for 🙈 ive a friend who's very anti children and some of the comments are getting more and more personal as our other friends around us have kids and she can see it coming for us. But I can also see a fear of.... being left behind is the wrong way to put it but you know what I mean..... @MissM94 your step MstIL sounds unbelievable. Is there any way of transferring away from her in work over time or is it a small workplace?

@Cams50 fingers crossed the second sample comes back with better results and the first was just bad timing. Getcha about the conceiving naturally. Know you can try find upsides of good that ye have caught any potential issues relatively early etc etc but still not what you were picturing I'm sure.

Btw for the new people here, this one could just be me but one thing that I wish I'd heard early on was that the longer you're off the pill the more PmS symptoms you can have. Mine have built over the months as my system got over the shock of coming off the pill. But at the start every month every new symptom I was like, this could be it, this could be baby. Now I know I get nosebleeds, and spotty and bloated and god knows what else in the TWW and some months I get mystery symptoms and weird twinges and pains too. And clearly I'm still here so it was never anything. Know it's very hard not to wonder if each new symptom means something but this is just my experience over the months if it's of any insight at all.

@Kay00 oh I think that's exactly why she is the way she is! It's my other half's dads partner and me and him get on really well and my partner is an only child so you can imagine, him and his dad are super close so I think she just knows a baby would push her right out the way.. I can't wait to shove a scan picture in her face, if she makes one comment about my baby being an inconvenience I might punch her in the face 😩😂😂 yeah, your sister just wants you all to herself hahaha

Thanks for starting a new thread.

I hope everyone is well.

@Kay00 that’s really insensitive of your sister. I think sometimes people say things to try and make light of the situation but it just ends up being insensitive.

I think you are in your 30s right? You are not too late!

@missm94 OMG! Your monster in law (😆) sounds like a bitter jealous person who maybe doesn't want you to have kids because she didn't... or maybe because your baby would be the centre of your dad's world? Either way, I hope you really enjoy showing her your pregnancy scan when you get the chance 😁

My sis is probably trying to put me off TTC so a baby wouldn't interrupt her plans for us to go on a cruise with my mum in 2023 😆
