Welcome to the 11th (!) post pill party thread for women who have recently come off the pill. Where we can all come and discuss the highs and lows of TTC.

@Kay00 it is pretty rubbish especially seen as it's at the start when you don't really tell anyone so you can't really tell people why you feel so shitty. I'm just hoping it calms down over the next couple of weeks

Kay00 · 14/06/2021 12:09

@ChinChilly Sad that does sound rubbish... it seems completely unfair that sickness is a side effect of pregnancy!

ChinChilly · 14/06/2021 11:59

@MissM94 I'm ok thank you, I'm really struggling with the sickness at the moment. I tend to feel sick all day then I'm spending most of the evening with my head down the toilet so it's not much fun at the moment.

@Kay00 hmm that does all sound positive, fingers crossed for you 🤞

Hope everybody else is ok!

Kay00 · 14/06/2021 11:57

@MissM94 yes, lol, I have had pink tinged CM before, but then I often spot for a few days before AF arrives, so I have seen the whole range of 'spotting'.

Kay00 · 14/06/2021 11:56

@WhirlingD I really don't want to get my hopes up, as if I am 14DPO then a line this faint would not be great news. Plus it could just be a coincidental 2 x evap lines. I'll test again tomorrow maybe, or the day after if AF hasn't shown. In the mean time I try to take my mind off it!

If/when AF does show, then I'll be booking in my HyCoSy.

WhirlingD · 14/06/2021 11:37

@Kay00 I had an evap on an IC but never on a FRER. My money would be on you only being 10 DPO and actually being pregnant. I am keeping absolutely everything crossed for you and if this were true, it would make my day. You absolutely deserve this! Keep us posted. We need some good news.

By the way, my friend just got pregnant after 2 years of trying and it was a month after her HyCoSy. I think that does something to the system!

I'm on CD42 with nothing. Temps really low (even more so than usual) and now my cheapie OPKs have gone very faint (after 10 days of quite strong lines). I'm hopeful this is AF coming. If so, it would be an ovulating cycle but at least it would be progress. Cheapie pregnancy tests negative obviously.

Test results back tomorrow or Wednesday. Trying not to freak out.

MissM94 · 14/06/2021 11:17

@ChinChilly how are you? Hope everything's going well ☺️

MissM94 · 14/06/2021 11:15

@Kay00 tinged not tinted 🙄

MissM94 · 14/06/2021 11:13

@Kay00 do you normally have pink tinted CM at this point in your cycle or have you ever had it before and AF has turned up?
If not.. get pissing on a stick first thing in the morning! Sending lots of luck your way 🥰

Kay00 · 14/06/2021 10:48

@Juno231 in response to your question I had a huge platter of sushi... it was amazing! Grin

Kay00 · 14/06/2021 10:24

OMG. Ladies. I always thought I would be really cool about this. But i'm a little bit freaking out... I need your sensible opinions please!

I'm 14DPO according to FF (or perhaps I am 10DPO)? I had a tine bit of pink tinged CM on CD12 (or 9DPO?) Please see my chart.

Yesterday I did an IC after a 5 hour hold (after my epic walk, where I was genuinely expecting to come on my period, but it didn't happen) and it was negative. But, I didn't spend a long time looking at it, left it at my desk and promptly fell asleep on the sofa.

This morning it looks like the IC had an evap line. This is my first ever 2nd line, but it looks grey, so i'm assuming an evap.

So with my 2nd morning urine I have done a FRER (at 14DPO/10DPO) and .... another line!? Its vvv. faint and I cannot see any colour, but it came up within the 3 minutes. Another evap? I will have to assume so?

I'm unable to get a good picture of the tests, as the lines are too faint, but I can see them in real life... but maybe this plus the fact that I am unable to see any colour, is why I should assume they are evaps?

Oh I removed my cervix stat from O-1 and it made the crosshairs go solid

Juno231 · 14/06/2021 10:01

@kay00 ooh that's amazing! Surely it was way more calories than that though? what food did you have at the end of it?

3DPO today and FF has given me tentative crosshairs as it doesn't like that I've ovulated a few days earlier than usual!

Kat668 · 13/06/2021 21:37

@Lovebug06 I really hope your recovery goes quickly and you feel back to full health soon! It's so hard when people who don't want it get pregnant without trying while we're doing everything we can do I totally understand that x

@Kay00 ooh ouch! Hope your DP is.giving you lots of lovely footrubs! Well done on doing it!

Kay00 · 13/06/2021 21:05

@Kat668 haha! Love the sneaky night time sex 😆

@lovebug06 I totally get it. My friends who all started trying around the time I started (some started earlier in all fairness) now have little babies.

I'm super proud of myself today. I completed a 27 mile (or 44k) walk! It took 9 hours, was about 57,000 steps and burned about 2000 calories. My feet and ankles hurt a lot! And it was about 26 degrees today, so I'll probably have burnt despite the lashings and lashings of suncream!

Still no sign of AF (13dpo) but tested again on IC after a 5 hour hold and BFN.

Lovebug06 · 13/06/2021 10:42

Thanks everyone for your kind messages. I'm sore but okay. 12dpo and tbh my mind has been elsewhere this week as you can probably imagine, which has been great on the baby front as I haven't thought about it really this week!
Found out another friend is pregnant last night though and now I just feel 😢
Hottest day of the year, I'm still sore and hobbling about so can't do much so my mind is now on this.
Other friend pregnant also said she didn't even want to be pregnant. Hadn't been sure what to do. Fair enough, but not what I wanna hear right now.
Another friend trying for 6 months and telling me how terrible it is for her. I understand obviously, but I'm a year after that and she seems to think I don't get it Confused
Nothing to take my mind off it really as I'm stuck at home.
So now to get through the next couple of days when AF will obviously come!
But hey ho, invited my friend down in a couple of weeks to go out on the cocktails, so I'll try think of that Smile (obviously wouldn't if I was pregnant, but it's very unlikely!)
At least it's only a couple of days to wait as well 😊

This isn't meant to be negative, just a little update. I was very cheerful until last night 🤣 I feel a right cow feeling down by a friends pregnancy but I'm sure you all get it.

Hope your all okay, sorry I'm a bit behind, it's been a crazy week x

Kat668 · 13/06/2021 10:41

Thank you guys, we actually did manage to try again in the late evening after my friend had gone down for the night. Hopefully she didn't hear anything 😂 so yeah hopefully this will be successful!

@Kay00 it certainly makes it tricky having people round 😂 hopefully it'll be just after this time so you can get good coverage!

@Juno231 it is hard to not get annoyed at them isn't it ha ha! Still it only takes one lucky swimmer so fingers crossed for you!

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow sorry she reared her ugly head :(

Kay00 · 12/06/2021 22:10

@sunshinedaisybuttermellow im sorry AF arrived for you 😔

I have still had nothing more than some pink tinged CM (no cramps) but I took an internet cheapy just now and it was BFN. so I assume I'll be joining you on CD1 tomorrow or Monday at the latest. Meh!

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 12/06/2021 10:28

AF appeared at 2am. No cramps or anything which is very odd for me. But it does mean a 27 day cycle, with AF 14dpo which I think is really good. We also didn't cover it well so I'm not surprised or upset.

Hope it isn't AF for you @Kay00. Hopefully if it is then FW is slightly later next time so you can cover it well.

@Kat668 all 4 flashing days is really good, fingers crossed its enough.

@Juno231 yay for ovulation! Just the very long wait now haha.

Juno231 · 12/06/2021 09:42

@kay00 that tiny dip means nothing I'd say! Even bfp charts get dips like that too. I'm hopeful for you 🤞

@Kat668 don't beat yourself up, you sound super covered! Saying that, I had a right strop yday cause OH wasn't in the mood for BD on flipping ovulation day 😒 - so we only managed O-1 this cycle!

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow had a big temp rise today so seems like I ovulated yday!

Kay00 · 12/06/2021 08:13

@kat668 sounds like you are covered. I'm sure I read that O-2 is the most successful day for DTD, so don't kick yourselves! Xx

I just worked out that if my AF starts in next couple of days then my next FW could be when my mum is staying for a long weekend 😪🙃 let's hope these Conceive Plus don't work quite as efficiently next time 😆

SkeletonSkins · 12/06/2021 07:59

Sorry about potential AF @Kay00 :( keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Oh bless your OH @Kat668, it sounds like you’ve got it covered though with all those other times. Maybe later he’ll be able to have another go?

Kat668 · 12/06/2021 07:39

Peak day obviously, not peal lol

Kat668 · 12/06/2021 07:39

@Lovebug06 I hope you're OK!!

@Kay00 I'm sorry it seems AF is coming :(

I got my static smiley after 4 days of flashing, typically its happened when I have a friend staying and our bed is supper noisy :/ tried to squeeze DTD in this morning while she was asleep next door and DH couldn't perform :( really upset. He let's the stress of knowing it's peal day get to him after swearing he wouldn't be affected by it (I kept telling him it's normal with the pressure but he was adamant it wouldn't! Stubborn bugger) we did it on all 4 flashing days so I'm really hoping that's enough, but we did it every other day last cycle and no luck, so can't help thinking its a no go again 😞

Kay00 · 12/06/2021 07:02

Chart fyi
