Post Pill Party - Cocktail Club

Thankyou for all your kind words, it means a lot and thanks all for welcoming me back onto this 'wonderful' 🙄 journey of TTC again with open arms!

@MissM94 hopefully the tests give you some answers!

Oh @TheDaydreamBelievers I'm so sorry, how long ago did this happen? Did you had to have medical management after they found out? Have they looked into anything for you since regarding cycle length?

I'm really hoping I don't have secondary infertility but as I'm 35 in sept (NHS cut off age for funded IVF here) I really hope if I have any issues that they can still look to help me despite having fallen pregnant previously.

@Kay00 I'm sorry you haven't had your BFP, hopefully the tests will get you some more help. I am apparently in my fertile window tomorrow but still getting very low readings on OPKs and trying to go just off those and dates instead of temp tracking initially. I hope I am ovulating but I have no idea! I think even though periods can come back straight away like mine have the ovulation does not necessarily happen as quick?

Thankyou @Moocher90, so good to see this group is just as supportive as it was before! Thanks also to @Kat668 and @Tillybabs what are your story's? Sorry if people are getting annoyed with retelling/reseeing things but it's good to get up to speed!

Thankyou for sharing @WhirlingD - hoping your body wakes up soon... I really wish knowing what I know now about how difficult the whole having a child thing is that I hadn't worried so much when I was younger!! Imagine you can probably resonate with that as most of you on here probably can!?

@Juno231 glad you have had all the tests, think you were trying to push to get some answers last time we spoke. Pretty sure you mentioned hating your job last time too? How do you feel about waiting till end of the year?

I am just using the Femometer OPKs that I have leftover from TTC Jack, I found these good last time although I didn't get a peak until after the 2nd period when I conceived him. When these run out does anyone recommend the clearblue ones that connect to the app? Not sure if they are a waste of money or not?

Thanks again for all being so welcoming, it's nice to be back despite the circumstances xx

@Juno231 TBH i'm not sure if I am in full flow yet. I bled this morning, but that was because we DTD (sorry, TMI), and it has dried up since. My cramps this morning were little twinges and have stopped. I called the fertility clinic to book my HyCoSy and the doctor is going to call me back tomorrow to pin a date down. I guess it doesn't matter too much if my day 1 is actually tomorrow? Or am I on day 4 of a pretty light/spotting AF? I suppose the scan just needs to be between my period end and ovulation?

@kay00 well that will be lovely and will take your mind off AF :) Mind you I often have high temps until a few days into AF so I don't trust LP temps one bit

@Juno231 haha, yeah... I think it was the temp rise that threw me... but then I had a couple of glasses of vino the night before .

I will also be having a couple of glasses tonight too as I'm off out to meet my girly friends for our first meal out together in over a year!

@kay00 ha I can't believe she showed straight after that post! At least you can get the ball rolling on your hycosy.

@Kay00 that's a bummer but at least you can book the HSG now! We will have ours around the same time

She's here!! It least i know where I stand now... and I can book in that scan. Happy Wednesday!

Morning ladies! My chart is being a complete troll 🙄😆

I will have to assume I ovulated on CD19 rather than CD15 as its much more likely I'm 12DPO rather than 16DPO!

I have been spotting for days now, and it's darker blood with the odd mini clot, so I'm pretty sure AF is on her way... in fact I could be convinced I'm having a super light AF and I'm on day 3, if my temps had dropped, but they haven't yet. I'm getting a few cramps this morning though, so maybe she'll turn up today.

I kinda just want AF to turn up now so I can book in my HyCoSy! The spotting is annoying, Grr... 🤨

@CharWils since you were here in Oct we've had lots of tests done - including repeat day 3, repeat SA, more ultrasounds, an HSG and a laparoscopy + hysteroscopy. There's nothing wrong with us so we've officially been diagnosed with unexplained infertility. Next step is to apply for ivf funding but I might be changing jobs (can't stand my current company and boss) so am now considering putting ttc on hold potentially until the end of the year!

@CharWils I am so very sorry for your loss. My deepest and sincerest thoughts are with you.

I am relatively new here. Have found these boards a tremendous help. I'm 38 TTC #1. After many years on the pill, I had a 101 day 1st cycle. Now on CD43 of 2nd cycle with not much going on. No ovulation yet. Waiting on blood test results. I have multiple LH peaks so have got a serious imbalance going on. Generally waiting on my body to wake up.

@CharWils so sorry to hear about your baby Jack :( so devastating xx my heart goes out to you x I remember you from the older threads x we are all here if you ever want to talk about it. Most of us on here are regulars now 😂 we are here to support you through your TTC journey x

@charwils I just finished my 10th cycle but I'm a year into TTC. I had 2 x anovulatory cycles in a row and panicked and so referred to ther fertility clinic. I have had some blood tests done which might indicate PCOS, my OH has submitted his sperm sample and I'll be booking in my pelvic scan tomorrow. Xx

@CharWils we had a lovely scan at 10wks, fetus died at 11 weeks + something, found out at 12 wk scan (so a MMC). To be honest its been bloody horrendous, so I cannot even fathom how much you must be grieving.

Since then, plodding on. Cycles back to their 70-something day wonders and just feeling totally hopeless about it all, frankly

@CharWils I wasn't around when you were here, but just wanted to also say I'm so sorry for your loss. Thoughts are with you and your husband x

@CharWils so I'm not actively trying (withdrawal) until next month but we equally would be over the moon if it happened sooner! I wasn't supposed to come off the pill until May this year but came off it last November as I got a blood clot 🙃 so was supposed to be TTC as of May but decided to push it to July because of Covid so I joined this group purely just to find out what to expect as I've been on all different contraception's for 11 years so had no idea what to expect! Slipped into a steady cycle of 34 days on average, never went higher than 35 & my periods are short and sweet & have been ovulating but as soon as I hit the 6 month mark it's just stopped 😂 had my last period on the 4th of April, FF thinks I should be on my June period now so I've missed 2 if that's correct.. had all negative pregnancy tests.. my doctor is convinced I'm pregnant, which is annoying haha I'm not convinced.. I think it's PCOS or something like that so I have a blood test on the 28th of June and a scan on the 6th of July! So looking forward to getting them out of the way and seeing what's happening then getting on with DTD and not pulling out 😂😂

@CharWils I'm so sorry to hear about Jack. How utterly heartbreaking. I truly hope you get a bfp soon xx

Thankyou everyone... I was really worried about coming back here as it seems like coming back to square one but I'm glad I have with all of your support ❤️

@Kay00 completely heartbroken, how are you doing?

@SkeletonSkins Thankyou. What is your story?

@TheDaydreamBelievers I'm so sorry to hear you had a MC, how far along were you? Thankyou for welcoming me back 💙

@Juno231 I'm so sorry you haven't had any positives. Have you had any tests etc since we last spoke?

@MissM94 Thankyou so much, what is your TTC story?

@Lovebug06 I won't talk about Jack unless I'm directly asked as I know it can be petrifying for those TTC without any awareness of loss before.
Happy to speak about it to anyone as I love talking about my boy, but please ask me direct so I don't upset anyone.

@ChinChilly Thankyou, did I see that you got your BFP?

Sending lots of love to you all xx

@Tillybabs thank you, so do i 😩

@CharWils I'm so sorry to hear about little Jack, truly heartbreaking! Sending you and your OH lots of love ❤

@CharWils I didn't know you before but I just want to send you love and say how utterly sorry I am for your loss of your beautiful little boy. That is absolutely heartbreaking. We are all here for you with this ttc journey, but as someone has said above, also if you wanted to talk about Jack ❤️
I hope you get your BFP soon x

@CharWils we haven't spoke before, I joined November so would of missed you but I'm so incredibly sorry for what happened to you, your husband and sweet Jack ♥️

@CharWils oh char that's so cruel - I'm. So terribly sorry you and OH had to go through that. I'll light a candle for your sweet boy Jack tonight and we're all here for you for second round of TTC ❤️

And of course we remember you! I'm still here plodding along, in my TWW of cycle 19. No BFPs for me since you graduated from the thread.

Hi @CharWils - I'm still here (MC in November/December 2020). I'm so so fucking sorry for your loss. You are welcome back here, whenever you want to talk about conception or about Jack.

@CharWils I wasn’t here when you were before but I just wanted to say I’m so sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy Jack, what a beautiful name too. I have absolutely everything that you get your BFP quickly xx

Hello @CharWils. Oh you poor woman, you must be utterly heartbroken xx huge hugs from me to you and your OH xxx

I'm not sure how to help with your FF question but will be here to offer help and advice on your new TTC journey xxx

@Juno231 @MintGreenLife @ChinChilly @Kay00 @TheDaydreamBelievers these are a few names I remember talking too off the top of my head. Sorry if have forgotten anyone!

Please see my post below - hope okay to share on here.

How are you all getting on? Xx
