Post Pill Party - Cocktail Club

So going on FF and if I get another high temp 2mo I will be 2DPO. My ovusense also shot up from 36.21 yesterday morning to 36.55 today :) had flashing smileys on CB but on the day I thought I ovulated I worked until 2am so think I missed my peak reading. Fingers crossed for another high temp 2mo x

@MrsHInch avoiding wouldn't work the same though. As in you can get fertile CM only for your body to fail to ovulate (eg the same way you can get positive OPKs with PCOS without ovulation) but if you avoid all fertile CM then you stand a decent chance in avoiding pregnancy. Fingers crossed it still happens!

CM has been accurate at other times to avoid PG and when I've been figuring out what I'm looking for if that makes any sense.

The whole cycle was pretty much text book, until now!

@MrsHInch boo! Do you temp at all? CM isn't very accurate with PCOS I think :(

Tested. BFN.

Wasn't first morning wee, but it was so obviously a negative.

Still no sign of AF.

I could have sworn I ovulated, I had a lot of school glue CM in the days following.

Probably typical PCOS ruining it as per.

@Juno231 thank you 😊 it’s hard not to become obsessed and it’s only my first month!! Need to calm down a bit. I can feel I am ovulating, going to rely on my gut and keep DTD and hope for the best. I will go and enjoy my hen weekend and obsess over anything 😬

@Charliecircle11 I'd wait until 10 or 11 dpo at the earliest for a test. Some ladies on here have an iron will and only test when AF is late. As for the drunk weekend - I'm on team drink til it's pink (ie positive pregnancy test). Most people do tbh as not everyone is mad like us with the tracking and opks

@MrsHInch oooh I hope this is it for you. I vote test ASAP - if AF shows later this week but it's a CP I'd want to know.

@Kay00 I did think about this. I just don't want to tempt fait by buying a test. There's been occasions when I've done a test, only to be slapped around the face a few hours later by AF.

I'm thinking if I wait until Friday, then I'll definitely know one way or another.

I just hope that it's not my body playing horrible tricks on me, that would be so cruel!!!

@Kay00 thank you. Got another flashy smiley this morning and got the mucus ( TMI sorry!). Will keep DTD over the next few days and try to relax and not worry about it for a couple of weeks. I know that if I did a test and it was positive, I wouldn’t believe it anyway and would retest, so may as well wait!

@MrsHInch eep! Might be good to test before you go away?

@Charliecircle11 sounds like your body is gearing up to ovulate so, if everything works to plan, you could ovulate in next few days (remember, ovulation doesn't always happen when you get a LH spike/solid smiley).

So if you did ovulate by the end of this week then you would only be about 7DPO on 5th June so a little too early to test. I think you would be perfectly good to have a few drinks, but maybe don't get completely wasted .

Morning all xx

Sorry to hear about your bitchy sister @Kay00 and yes, killing her with kindness is where I'd go too.

Well according to my calendar & ovulation, I should have come on today & there's nor sight or sound of her, of course it could happen at any point during the day but I usually get quite crampy and there's been nothing over recent days.

I'm too scared to test if I'm honest. 10 years I've been waiting for this. 6 rounds of failed clomid, pcos diagnosis. There has been some very radical changes (new partner and weight loss) but surely it can't be that simple, it's only my second cycle from stopping the pill. Besides all that I don't particularly "feel" pregnant. It's PDs birthday today, we're going away tomorrow. Because of my pcos diagnosis I don't have a clue how long my cycles are, but I regularly check CM and it was very obvious when I ovulated & I get thick SGCM after it. This time i calculated it as a 28 day cycle, something I've never had. Even when I told clomid it was a 34 day cycle, so I'm tempted to wait for day 34 before testing.

Also sorry, I have a hen party on the 5th June for the weekend. How do I not drink to excess? There is only 6 of us due to Covid and no one to hide behind! Haven’t been drinking recently and don’t want to go mad!

@Kat668 I had them last week for about an hour and couldn’t stop them. Mine sound like a peacock as well, so bad 😜 but other than that no. What a weird symptom if it is pill related.

So I think I am on my first TWW cycle 1. Flashy smiley face on CB yesterday and DTD. Hoping for a peak today and do the DTD tonight and tomorrow. No idea when my period is due though as only just stopped the pill and finished my withdrawal bleed. When do I test? Two weeks after ovulation?

Weird question but has anyone experienced really bad continual hiccups since coming off the pill or at certain stages of their cycle? The last week or so I've had hiccups so many times!

@Lovebug06 I'm so sorry you're feeling down love ♥️ bug squeezy hugs! It really is unfair when people who so desperately want it and try for ages don't get pregnant then people do by accident! So you're not wrong to feel that way. We're all here for you whenever you need to talk.

@Kay00 oh man that's such an insensitive thing to say! Even if you don't know someone's TTC you still shouldn't say that. Hope you're OK ♥️

@Kay00 I tend to kill people like that with kindness 😆 so sorry that your sister isn’t more supportive. The one thing I have learnt in my 33 years is that it isn’t just as simple as “but they are family!”

Thanks ladies. I think you probably hit the nail on the head there @charliecircle11 she's pretty self centered so it's probably got nothing to do with me really!

@Kay00 she is obviously insecure about something and projecting it on you. Just keep smiling and be the bigger person 🥰

@Kay00 what the hell that's a horrendous comment off your sister! How are people so openly cruel 😩

@Kay00 god, I'm so sorry for her.. it definitely puts things into perspective for sure!

@Lovebug06 no, she has no idea that i'm trying for a baby. Although she seems to say hurtful things fairly regularly (like saying how she would never had a child now at her age as shes far too old ... even though shes 3 years younger than me?!). Maybe she always said these things, but i'm more sensitive now? Either way, she had always been a bit of a bitch haha!

@Kay00 I would just do all you can to pretend and put a smile on your face. Show them you are really happy and it doesn’t bother you. They won’t make any comment again. Sending you lots of hugs

@Kay00 omg that is horrible of your sister! What's bitch.
Does she know your TTC? If she does that is bloody awful.
Massive hugs to you.

@Lovebug06 huge hugs!! you are totally not being a brat. This is so difficult, and it it gets harder and harder with each passing cycle. and it DOES feel unfair!!

I was really worried about seeing my family, as it had been a year and I genuinely believed that when I saw them next I would be sharing some exciting news with them. Instead I had zero news, and just some snarky comment from my sister who looked at me with pity and said "isn't it awkward that all your friends are sharing pictures of their kids, but you're sharing pictures of your dogs?" She's such a bitch.

Hi all,
Usually after AF comes I have a good cry for a day them I'm good.
Positive of it coming was that the vaccine didn't affect it, came when it should have and the right amount so thankful for that as I was worried.
However I've got a stream of scans and pregnancy photos on my social media and it's knocking me...
My friend announcing her accidental pregnancy after a few weeks with her now partner has really got to me too.
I feel so selfish. I don't know. I just feel like ITS SO UNFAIR. Mixed with me feeling like it's not going to happen without help for me now, the positivity is hard to have, feel like it's gone this month.
I'm actually okay, generally fine.. Just feel a bit drained by it all.
Being a right brat I know.
I'm sure there's going to be a family announcement anytime soon and I know it'll be talked about 24/7 and I think this is what's getting to me, absolute dread.
Anyway sorry for this but nobody else understands me. I need to let this out as I only usually feel bad when AF comes but I'm having a slight wobble.
Give me a shake girls!
