Let's get into the spirit(s) - it's a whiskey business TTC so if you're feeling pretty fly grab a Mai Tai and have yourself some Sex on the Beach. Fingers crossed we get some BFP's and keep the Bloody Mary's away. Let the celebrations be-Gin!! Time flys when your having Rum!

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 hope today goes aswell as it can!

I did a digital this morning it came up 2-3 was secretly hoping for 3+ seen as according to my apps I'm somewhere between 5+1/3 guess I'll try again in a few days

Hope everyone is well.

TheDaydreamBelievers · 15/05/2021 22:42

Congratulations @TheHotelCalifornia! So pleased for you, but understand the anxiety

Tillybabs · 15/05/2021 22:06

@TheHotelCalifornia congratulations! Amazing news

@juno231 I think his preference would be at home for the SA but whatever they ask he will do it.

I posted on the old thread by mistake but I saw something online about BPFA fertility starting a not for profit fertility service in Autumn this year. If anyone might need it I thought I would let you know.

AF is here for me at the moment. I have my first fertility appointment on Friday and hope to get some answers soon.

Kay00 · 15/05/2021 20:52

@firsttimemummy321 hmm... that is indeed quite strong for CD6, and I can see a faint line on the hcg too. I'm not sure what it all means though, are you sure you're not pregnant? How long was your bleed?

Moocher90 · 15/05/2021 18:29

@TheHotelCalifornia congratulations xx

firsttimemummy321 · 15/05/2021 18:05

@TheHotelCalifornia congratulations!!!!

@Kay00 thank you 🤞🏻 also your chart is looking great!!!

@TheDaydreamBelievers 🤞🏻 this is it!

I know this isn't positive but this is strong for me for cd 6
Had another early loss positive last Saturday then started bleeding on Sunday. Super faint line on one step but don't really trust them so assuming evap or maybe some leftover hcg (even though original positive was only faint as was quite early)
No idea what's going on!

@TheHotelCalifornia eeek! I am so pleased for you! Massive congratulations 🥳 xx

Lovebug06 · 15/05/2021 16:45

@Gracie2021 thankyou! I'm not such a moaner in real life 😂 I just have to let it out on here as nobody else in real life understands. I have my sdcs tonight as dh is going to watch the football. Told him to go enjoy himself. Hope you also have a lovely weekend
@Kay00 oh god I'd hate that. The more your not allowed to eat the more you think about it! Hope tommorow goes okay.
I know implantation bleeding doesn't always happen but I had thought most people got more CM, I did look it up a bit ago and it also informed me otherwise too x

Kay00 · 15/05/2021 16:25

@lovebug06 thanks for asking xx I'm OK today. I'm not allowed to eat anything until after my colonoscopy tomorrow, so I'm starving and finding ways to distract myself lol.

For what it's worth I don't think all women get increased CM or implantation bleeding to indicate a successful pregnancy, and if they do then I imagine 9dpo is very early. I have my fingers crossed for you.

Gracie2021 · 15/05/2021 15:54

@TheHotelCalifornia omg so so so thrilled for you. Massive congrats!

@MissC07 amazing intro. Thanks for the invite x

@Lovebug06 sorry you’re having such a rough time of it this month. Fingers crossed for you and hope you have a nice relaxing weekend planned.

MissC07 · 15/05/2021 15:37

@TheHotelCalifornia massive congratulations!!! ❤️

Yay excellent news @TheHotelCalifornia hope everything goes well this time. I’ve also taken soy this cycle and thankfully didn’t feel sick or anything so will do another few cycles if we’re not lucky this month.

Lovebug06 · 15/05/2021 15:11

And has anyone had the covid jab just before their period. Mine is Monday and I'm due on Thursday. I've read it can delay AF so now I'm worried as I don't think my mind can take that 😂 it would be so cruel I won't know why Im late 🤣 hoping it doesn't do that

Lovebug06 · 15/05/2021 15:08

I've found you all 😃
@TheHotelCalifornia congratulations that's amazing news ❤️
How long have you been trying? So sorry I always ask this as I get confused with the times and I also like to know to give me that hope!
@Kay00 how are you today?

I'm 9dpo and feeling a little uneasy.
I've always thought if your pregnant you get a lot of discharge leading up to the bpf or missed AF. Well I barely have any as usual at this point. I also never spot before AF, so I always hope to see a little incase it is implantation, which of course I never have.
I don't know, just the thought of the heartache next week is too much already.
Finding out my friend is pregnant by accident within weeks of meeting someone has really knocked me. I am wanting to be positive but in truth I have no positivity for this week, I'm not being negative, I just genuinely cannot see it happening. That make sense?

Cams50 · 15/05/2021 15:07

@TheHotelCalifornia omg amazing! Huge congrats 🎉

@MissC07 thanks for setting up the new thread and love the intro! So good xxx

MrsHInch · 15/05/2021 14:59

Wow!! Congratulations to you!

Kay00 · 15/05/2021 14:58

Yey!!! Excellent news! Congratulations @thehotelcalifornia 🥳🥳🥳

WhirlingD · 15/05/2021 14:47

Oh wow congratulations @TheHotelCalifornia couldn't be happier for you. Xx

Kat668 · 15/05/2021 14:44

Congratulations @TheHotelCalifornia !

ChinChilly · 15/05/2021 14:35

@TheHotelCalifornia massive congratulations lovely ❤ 🎉 me and OH are the same we're not really talking about it at the moment either... such a strange feeling!

TheHotelCalifornia · 15/05/2021 14:15

Hello my darlings and thank you so much for the invite to the Cocktail Club @missco7, love the new intro!! I’ve been here since the beginning haha and while personally some parties have been better than others 🙄 I absolutely love the little community we’ve built and it’s so nice to be able to talk to people going through the same thing.

@chinchilly congratulations on your BFP lovely!!! Sounds like it’s all going really well so stay positive!!

@kay00 I’m so sorry about the BFN, and OH being insensitive 😔 that would really upset me too and quite frankly I’d tell him!! good luck for your procedure is it today? xxx

@juno231 enjoy fertile week!! 🥳🍆 keeping everything crossed that this is the cycle xxx

@thedaydreambelievers good shout to push your GP, weekly bloods def sounds like something they should be doing. Hope you get an answer soon, and hope that this is indeed ovulation xxxx

Soooooo I’ve had a bit of a mental week...this is cycle 2/month 4 after my miscarriage (I have long cycles) and ERPC in January. I stopped tracking after O and had absolutely no symptoms. I tested on 8DPO just to confirm my suspicions because I was so certain I was out as had zero symptoms. BFN, so although I 100% expected it I still had a complete breakdown and spent the next two days researching puppies, fertility treatment and trips to theme parks to take my mind of it. I also drank a lot ha!! 10DPO I wanted to do a HIIT workout so thought I’d do a final test JUST TO MAKE SURE, and I cannot tell you the shock I felt when I saw the faintest line on an IC. I burst into tears, did a FRER and there was a clear line. I’m honestly so in shock as I was convinced I was out, to the point where we nearly booked Alton Towers for 2 weeks time.

I’ve just done another one this morning, 13DPO, and got a really strong line. I just can’t believe it. Me and DH are trying not to think about it really as we’re so scared. But I do feel quite calm at the moment. Obviously my heart is in my mouth every time I go to the loo but I’m not obsessing or Googling everything like last time. I’m just trying to stay positive while also not focusing on it at all. We’re too scared to have conversations about early scans or telling people so will give it a couple of weeks I think. I think pregnancy after miscarriage is honestly going to be the most anxiety inducing thing I’ll ever go through.

I did take soy iso this cycle guys to bring ovulation forward and it worked, I ovulated on CD21 which is the earliest ever. We also DTD 5 days in a row over O 😅 oh and I laid with my legs in the air after each time, so glam. And I’m taking 50mg B6, folic acid and B12 with added Vitamin D. But then I did all that the previous cycle and it didn’t work...

Anyway just wanted to let you all know and I hope this doesn’t trigger anyone as I know it’s so hard to see others BFPs when we’re all trying so so hard and want it so badly ❤️

MrsHInch · 15/05/2021 13:23

@Kay00 thanks x definitely needed a lot of Dutch currage to get out of there, but the fact that during those last moments he made my skin crawl helped!

Go for it though, go for it now while your still unsure, just so you have had the opportunity to say that you'd at least tried if that makes sense? Xx

Hopefully lots of baby dust around us at the moment xx

Kay00 · 15/05/2021 13:17

@whirlingD @MrsHinch oh wow! 😳 you both did the right think leaving your past fellas and finding Mr right for you xx

I have been with my oh for 17 years, 18 in Sept... and it took me 16.5 years to persuade him that our future involved children! He's still a bit unsure about the idea i think but has agreed he would like kids and is happily trying. I think if he was truthful he'd rather leave it a few more years, but I'm nearly 36 and I don't feel I have the time.

MrsHInch · 15/05/2021 13:15

@whirlingD omg! Exactly this! So creepy! My plug was pulled when I tried so hard to put the spark back in, and got the brush off, then a text from him saying that he needed to 'find his mojo'. The next day I found him enjoying himself.... Need I say no more, my bubble was burst & I was out of there!

Truly couldn't be happier with my life now xxx and like you say, I'd sooner have what I have now that what I could have had.

WhirlingD · 15/05/2021 13:10

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow yep had normal withdrawal bleed after finishing last full pack and then waited 101 days for proper AF! Thought I was hallucinating when it came.
