Post Pill Party - Cocktail Club

@minipilling I have my vaccine tommorow and ill be 11dpo! It's does say you can have it when trying so I booked it not really thinking of where'd I be in the cycle tbh. I'm just worried it'll mess up this week.... Being late will kill me if its just because of the vaccine. I'll be a mess! Worrying I've done the wrong thing but I don't think I am.

@Juno231 well looks like you have covered your fertile window. Fingers crossed for you.
Men don't get it do they! How can they not get why a pregnancy announcement would upset us?! I don't get them tbh 😩🤣
@Kay00 hope your good this evening and today went okay. Sorry to hear about the bfn but if it hasn't arrived yet then there still could be a chance x
@AllyCat31
Sorry to hear AF has arrived. Sending love, look after yourself x
@MrsHInch sounds promising!

10dpo. No symptoms at all. Well, I just kind of brushed my boob accidently and I think it's now the slightest bit tender. Oh dear here we go. Some months they hurt badly the whole time, other times just near AF. Strange.

@mrsHInch that sounds positive so far. Fingers crossed this is the cycle for you.

@AllyCat31 sorry to hear AF came . I'm thinking I'll count tomorrow as cd1 unless it gets a lot heavier later.

Hey @Sunshinedaisybuttermellow AF has arrived for me today but it’s not much at all. Just panty liner amount. The reason I know it’s AF is the cramping and my temp took a dive. Unless my flow gets a lot heavier this evening I’ll probably class tomorrow as the first day of my next/new cycle.

5dpo and all afternoon I've had central cramps and right-side cramps. CM is thick creamy, can't believe how much CM there is tbh! 😳

I've 9 more days of this terrible symptom spotting 🙄 trying my hardest not to read too much into it.

What are everyone's thoughts?

@CaptainGT indeed!! 34 days isn't too bad. 🤞 for a birthday bfp.

@minipilling sorry about the awful af . I've had both vaccines (through work) but I was taking the pill at the time. 2 people in work got it in January and then fell pregnant in February (based on sharing 12 week scans very recently) so hopefully a minimal effect on cycle.

What do people count a cd1? Any bleeding or wait for it to require a pad / tampon? I've noticed some steaks of blood on wiping this afternoon so thinking I'm getting ready to start cycle 1

@Kay00 Sounds like a plan! I think its maybe a better idea as I don't know about you but i always feel pretty rotten after a chippy tea! Even though I love it at the time! I had a few drinks last night so have been craving carbs all day. DH has had a whole pack of biscuits, a slice of cake and a fry up. I think he could do with taking a leaf out of your book and eating some nutrients today! 😂 Really hoping this is our month but not counting on it. I've got my repeat thyroid bloods next month so am looking forward to that. I feel like its progress... When is your next fertility appointment? I am considering contacting a place which has an offer on at the moment. I'm on the list for gynecology but think the wait list is huge! 🥴 your chart was lovely looking this month by the way! Hope you have the same next cycle 🤞 (but ending in a bfp of course!)

@juno231 nice one! 👌

Your your interest, I have lost 1.5 lb in the last couple of days (zero food and 4 different batches of laxatives) but i think I was quite dehydrated this morning too. I have lost about 6 lb since January, so a fairly steady weight loss ( graph attached)

@flyinggiraffe haha, sounds like DTD tonight or tomorrow will give you perfect coverage 😉 good luck!

We have decided to have salad with pasta and prawns for tea as I'm craving nutrients lol. So far, since my colonoscopy, i have had 2 x cups of tea and 8 x biscuits 🤣

@TheHotelCalifornia Congratulations ❤ lovely news!

@Juno231 🙌 great coverage! 🤞what cd are you again?

@Kay00 hope you enjoy your fish & chips! Sounds like you deserve a feast!

CD14 today and flashing smiley again but the lines looked darker so I'm hoping itll be peak tomorrow or Tuesday. DTD yesterday morning so having today off as DH is nursing a hangover! Got family staying for the week so dtd will be interesting! 😳😂

@minipilling yikes that sounds terrible! Remind me have you had a lap recently? Might be time for another one to help ttc along!

@kay00 I'd love to know how much weight you'll have lost with your special diet the last couple of weeks - sounds like your post procedure meal will be well deserved!!

Well good thing I jumped OH this morning... I had a feeling today would be the day!

@firsttimemummy321 it's good that you have been reffered hopefully you can start getting some answers!

@Cams50 it was much better than seeing 1-2, I'm a tiny bit disappointed i didn't get the 3+ but I've seen a few ladies on here saying they either didn't get it at all or not until they were 6weeks and I still have no idea how many dpo i am so I'll hang off until the end of next week i think and see.

@minipilling that sounds incredibly difficult, have you spoken to your GP at all? I'd say go for the vaccine aswell

@allycat31 😪 I suspect I'll be joining you on CD1 today too. I just did my pre-procedure pregnancy test. BFN of course xx

@minipilling you are incredibly brave for making the choice to try for a baby, especially with your painful condition. Is there anything the GP can do to help you manage the pain?

@missC07 haha... im going to eat ALL the crisps 😆 and maybe get take away fish and chips for tea 😍😋

@minipilling I'd go ahead yeah!

@Kay00 I hope it goes well and you have delicious snacks planned

I'm 5dpo according to app... so if my crosshairs stick around and AF doesnt show will test next weekend. To be honest would take AF at this point

Hi everyone! Exciting update - not - my period arrived and it's been hellish. Nausea so bad I actually took a pregnancy test before the bleeding got heavy! And panic attacks all over the place. I feel so awful i don't know if I'm cut out for pregnancy if it happens. I probably sound weak but my endometriosis has plagued me so long and I'm tired of the pain.

Assuming i want to try again this cycle though - my first vaccine is booked for Friday. My fertile days could begin on say, Tuesday or Wednesday. It's still OK to have the vaccine, right? Being that a successful implantation won't have happened by that time? If i was pregnant now, i would wait for the second trimester to be vaccinated, but given that I'm not...

I am concerned about the vaccine buggering up my cycle but i really want to get the process started tbh.

@Juno231 he will do it at the clinic if he needs to. I just know his preference would be at home lol.

Good luck @Kay00

That’s me out for the count this cycle. I think I’ll next ovulate in bloody June based on my super long cycles. So annoyed but on we go. Hope everyone else has some luck. We need more BFP to keep us all going ❤️

Thanks ladies, im in the waiting area in the hospital. I'm dreaming of eating food... anything would do! I haven't eaten since 8am yesterday 😥

The worst thing is I have just started getting period cramps... I hope it doesn't start mid colonoscopy 😳😳😳😆

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow - turn this stupid fat rat yellow? :)

your story sounds super similar to mine. came off before a full packet cycle ended up being 34 days wait. Hope yours behaves for you!

I'm holding hope for a positive test on my birthday (if I dont get AF next week.)

cant help symptom spotting and have very sore nipples this morning.

Massive congratulations @TheHotelCalifornia hope everything goes well 🤞

@Kay00 good luck today!

@firsttimemummy321 that’s so confusing. Sorry this has happened. Hope you get an appointment quickly x

@Juno231 sounds like a great start to fertile week!

@ChinChilly 2-3 weeks must be great to see on a digital! And yeah I’ve heard you have to be quite far along to get the 3+

@Tillybabs good luck for your appointment!

@MissC07 what an amazing intro - thank you! I'm a Negroni girl so that's what I'll be sipping on during this party 😅

@TheHotelCalifornia congratulations!!! What amazing news! Makes me wonder if an after party thread was ever set up for our BFP ladies?

@Tillybabs hopefully they could just accommodate his wish of doing it at home even if they originally ask for it to be done at the clinic? Only thing is that the sample deteriorates v quickly so doing at the clinic ensures it's super fresh for analysis...

@Moocher90 for our SAs the GP or consultant sent a referral and the following week we got a letter from the relevant clinic asking us to go online and book an appointment with them. For one clinic that wait was 3 months and for the other it was the very next week so there's no predicting it.

@Kay00 best of luck with your colonoscopy! Did you make up with OH? Mine can be dumb like that as well - he cannot understand why pregnancy announcements upset me and has made comments in the past about how me being bitter about it probably isn't helping me get pregnant 😬. That's when I tell him I'll C U Next Tuesday!

CD12 here, got ewcm and opks are getting stronger. Jumped on OH this morning and Friday morning so got every other day covered so far 👌

@ChinChilly it really is there's no easy way to deal with the anxiety of it just what works for you 🥰 yeah it is my levels with my first we're doubling I less than 24 hours (very high) and I didn't get the 3+ til 5.5 weeks
Yeah I've been referred to the recurrent miscarriage clinic but no idea how long the wait is

@firsttimemummy321 yeah it is really difficult not to be anxious about progression when you've had an early loss, I haven't done that many tests to try and stop myself worrying but it's reallt difficult, I saw somewhere the HCG threshold for 3+ is actually really high so we'll see what happens over the next few days, doesn't help i don't actually know when I ovulated so not sure of my DPO. Have you spoken to the GP about your losses?

Good luck today @Kay00

@Kay00 good luck today! I have no idea either, just wish it was properly negative so I can move on. I'm sure it can't be leftover as slightly darker today (wondfo was negative yesterday but faint line today - I am talking super faint but normally they are blank)the bleed was 4 days when I'm normally only 2 and had a day of white heavy and a few small clots again not normal for me so assumed another early loss. But to be squinter a this long after the first something isn't right if they are real positives 😩

@Tillybabs hopefully you get some answers soon 🤞🏻

@ChinChilly I know what you mean wanting it to progress like that but they are just guideline thresholds excited to hear you've got it in a few days 😍
