In the shimmering summer heat, we need to head for the water to cool down and relax. Bring your inflatable flamingo, your romcom read and your sunscreen, cause it's time for a pool party!

Welcome to the 12th post pill party thread. We are here for women who have recently come off the pill... and women like me who not-so-recently came off the pill! Share and get support with the highs and lows of TTC.

I can see these people rockin' up with their cossies on:

Oh congratulations @MissM94, so so happy for you.
My fertile window starts today so going to be dtd a lot. We're currently on holiday so have managed to dtd 3 of the last 4 days. Hopefully I ovulate early so it counts haha! Otherwise we will just keep going I guess. Due to ovulate on Monday currently.

MissM94 · 15/09/2021 11:44

Hi everyone, I got my BFP last Monday, currently 5+3, got an early scan booked in for 2 weeks on Saturday.. can't relax and get as excited as I would like to as I'm fully convinced something is going to go wrong so hopefully I feel better after my scan, hope you're all doing okay x

Moocher90 · 14/09/2021 15:42

@CharWils congrats on the BFP! X

@Tillybabs sorry to see u got a BFN :( x

@ShellUK09 sorry to hear about your chemical :( x

I’m 2DPO today only 10 more days to go before testing! I’ve told my boss about me going for IVF in Prague in Nov. He’s sorted out all my time off etc. I will continue to try until then but at least my time off is sorted out should I not get pregnant before then.

CharWils · 14/09/2021 11:16

@Tillybabs oh I'm sorry, Evaps are evil! Xx

Tillybabs · 14/09/2021 09:56

@ShellUK09 I'm so sorry for your chemical x

@CharWils congratulations!

I'm going to stay on IVF thread for a while and will check in on here now and then. Good luck everyone on your journeys. X

ChinChilly · 14/09/2021 09:41

@Tillybabs sorry it was a BFN that was such an evil evap.

@ShellUK09 sorry about the CP

@CharWils congratulations

ShellUK09 · 14/09/2021 09:18

Back after a few weeks away and being in a bit of turmoil, update from me - I had a positive test, then I had some bleeding a week later (on the day of a stressful job interview), and today I’ve discovered it is definitely a chemical pregnancy. It’s been a rollercoaster of a week. Trying not to get too downhearted as it was only our second month of trying and it proves I can get pregnant, just have to get back into the ttc next week if I can figure out when my body is ready again. Hope you are all doing ok x

Tillybabs · 14/09/2021 07:59

Morning

I did a frer this morning and got a bfn. So I guess it was an evap line!

Plus I've started to get AF cramps so I'm not surprised.

Oh well, roll on IVF!

CharWils · 13/09/2021 22:31

@Tillybabs definitely looks positive congratulations!

Ladies - I got a BFP on the 26th of last month at 9DPO, I have a private scan on Thursday and praying that there is a heartbeat. Lots of positive vibes please 🤞🤞 I really thought I was out that cycle as we only managed see once which was 2 days before I ovulated.

Hope you are all doing okay xx

ChinChilly · 13/09/2021 19:36

@Tillybabs I can settle for tomorrow. I've found a clinic near where I live the intial consultation is £190 so I'm not sure how much treatment will be, I guess I'll wait for my Tommy's appointment and ask the question before I go private

@TheDaydreamBelievers I still ate crap when I couldn't taste or smell it took a while for that to come back

Tillybabs · 13/09/2021 18:43

@TheDaydreamBelievers I had Covid a month or so ago. Get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids.

I was ok apart from I had some muscle pain and fatigue in the lower back area mainly. But I slept a lot.

Interestingly the acupuncturist told me that Covid will make any underlying issues flare up and I've had issues with my lower back before and still do on the odd occasion.

@Tillybabs that does not look like an evap... I await your FRER with excitement

Wveryone else - I feel okay but have no sense of taste or smell at all now. Might make it easier to eat healthily?

Tillybabs · 13/09/2021 18:24

@ChinChilly if you can afford it then I would definitely go private. 4 months is a long time and they might be able to diagnose and treat you quickly

Tillybabs · 13/09/2021 18:17

@Moocher90 I hope so too!

@ChinChilly hahaha ok I will do one tomorrow morning with my first wee

ChinChilly · 13/09/2021 18:01

@Tillybabs I don't think I can take waiting a few days for you to test again, whack out that FRER lol, I'd be shocked if that was an EVAP. Ahh that's ok, I've read that is can take 4 months between each appointment at Tommy's so I'm thinking about going private now tbh

Moocher90 · 13/09/2021 17:57

Evaps*

Moocher90 · 13/09/2021 17:56

@Tillybabs I really hope it’s your BFP! It looks like it as there’s pink and evaporated usually have no colour xx

Tillybabs · 13/09/2021 17:48

@ChinChilly I've just seen your update. I'm so sorry.

@Moocher90 I had my first fertility acupuncture yesterday. The needles hurt more than I expected! But I found it relaxing

Tillybabs · 13/09/2021 17:43

@ChinChilly I'm too nervous/scared to do a frer 😭 it's exactly a year since trying with no bfp at all. My medication came today as well to start ivf. It would be a miracle if I tested positive just before. I will wait a couple of days and do a frer as I'm only 10dpo

ChinChilly · 13/09/2021 17:13

@Tillybabs that looks more like a BFP to me it's too pink to be an EVAP, good line for 10dpo

Tillybabs · 13/09/2021 14:16

@Juno231 @Sunshinedaisybuttermellow
Thanks for responding ladies.

I'm not entirely convinced lol but will do a frer at 12dpo to be sure

I've been a bit absent from here so will catch up and respond a bit later.

I'm currently moving and so things are a bit manic at the moment. I hope everyone is ok

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 13/09/2021 13:59

I don't think that's an evap @Tillybabs, congratulations!!!

Juno231 · 13/09/2021 13:34

@Tillybabs no way surely that's too strong for an evap! Check with a FRER! ooooh I've got my fingers crossed for you xxx

mrsmacmc · 13/09/2021 12:06

@Juno231 12th Oct so a little while away yet, the form they've sent out with the appt has got my back up already as it asks for a lot of info about me and then very very basic details about DH 🙄

@TheDaydreamBelievers eeeek! Hope you are OK 💐 ❤️

Tillybabs · 13/09/2021 12:01

Hi ladies.

Is this most likely an evap line? I took too long to check it and I'm only 10dpo

I think it's an evap line 😭
