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:

Evening ladies! Finally got my appt through for the sub fertility clinic at the hospital. Still nothing happening which is why I've been quiet ❤️ xx

Moocher90 · 10/09/2021 17:47

I got my peak on my CB too so I’m really hoping it’s the real deal!

ChinChilly · 10/09/2021 17:42

@Kay00 exciting with the clomid.

@Moocher90 good job your pre warned OH

I forgot to tell you guys I was watching GPs behind closed doors, which is fimed at my GP surgery and there was a woman on there who thought she was having an early MC and the GP she saw said 'you do know anything before 6 weeks is just a late period' 😲 thats the kinda attitude I'm dealing with with my GP surgery

Kay00 · 10/09/2021 16:27

@Moocher90 Excellent!! Best get to it Wink Grin

Juno231 · 10/09/2021 14:24

@kay00 FWIW I'd agree with 10dpo :) So you're in with a shot!

@Moocher90 woop OH watch out Grin

Moocher90 · 10/09/2021 14:11

@Kay00 how exciting that you are starting clomid! I got a positive OpK today so let’s see if I ovulate

@ChinChilly So sorry to hear that xxx

@Moocher90 you sounds like a woman taking control of her fertility options - well done! Its so empowering once you know what your body is doing (or not doing in our cases). I'm about to start Clomid in the next few days if you want to chat about that xx

I'm somewhere between 10dpo and 13dpo (depending on which FF detector I use). I had a tiny bit of pink tinged CM yesterday so I think I'm probably 10DPO as I usually spot before AF arrives. So I think AF will arrive on Sunday, and I will be starting Clomid on Tuesday - eeekk!

@Juno231 I'm not sure they do test for NK cells, I'll see what happens at the appointment but it's getting super frustrating now

Moocher90 · 10/09/2021 09:28

@Juno231 I haven’t had my FSH tested for a while and I asked GP if I could get day 3 bloods but he said wait until my gynaecology app. Think my last one was 8 u/L which is normal. But who knows what it currently is

Juno231 · 10/09/2021 09:22

@ChinChilly I'm so sorry :( Can't believe it's another one. I hope Tommy's checks for NK cells for you as well, otherwise I'd def get it checked out privately :(

@Moocher90 can't believe how slow the NHS are being if the worry is DOR. What was your FSH btw? If you don't have that I bet that's what they'll faff about testing in October. I'd never heard of duostim but excellent that it's something you can do!

Moocher90 · 10/09/2021 08:21

@ChinChilly sorry to hear you might be having a chemical :(

I have had a flashing smiley this morning on my CB today so maybe I will ovulate by the weekend.

ChinChilly · 10/09/2021 08:15

@Juno231 great news about the funding, even if you're choosing to delay it, it's still not a million miles away.

@Moocher90 sounds like you've got a good plan aswell

Well I'm pretty sure I'm having another chemical, 14dpo today AF was due yesterday at the latest so i did a test this morning and there is a very fainy line, too faint for 14dpo and when I got back from walking the dog i had some browny/pink discharge. Chart and squinty line attached

@Juno231 glad you have atleast got your letter and you can get the ivf funding and fingers crossed soon a baby will be coming along which will be lovely to hear. It’s a shame that you have to wait but atleast it’s on your terms x

So due to my low amh and afc I rang GP up and now have my gynaecology appointment for 21st October. Not really sure what they can actually do if my amh is so low and lower than the recommended 5.4pmol for IVF I have however got age on my side being nearly 31 but I’m not sure if this will be overlooked. They may suggest doing clomid to induce ovulation as my progesterone tests keep coming back borderline.

I had my first fertility acupuncture yesterday which was really relaxing and planning on going once a week

I have paid a deposit with fertility clinic in Prague as I’m giving myself 2 more cycles to see if anything happens if not then the plan will be to go to Prague for IVF. I’ve also debated going for duostim so have one lot of stims and egg retrieval in the FP and stims and egg retrieval in the LP. Then you have a FET as opposed to fresh transfer. I have read up that it’s good for women with DOR.

CD8 today and had some EWCM today. Going to start OPKs 2mo so see where I am at, told DH to be ready tonight for some action 😂

Juno231 · 09/09/2021 15:46

Ha I jinxed it - got funding through today. They booked us in for next Tuesday already to get the ball rolling! I asked to move it end of Oct so that IVF could start in Jan because of the new job. Feels crazy to have waited this long and then turn it down (for now) but hey ho.

MissC07 · 09/09/2021 11:11

@Juno231 madness isn't it! The earliest they could get me an appointment is 28th Sept. So will just wait until then and see if AF turns up!

Juno231 · 09/09/2021 09:30

@TheDaydreamBelievers boo on the covid. Are you guys okay though?

@ChinChilly hope AF doesn't show and that the bean sticks!

I'm just plodding along. No word on funding yet - it's been 4 weeks but I'm okay with it as my new job starts on the 4th so I don't want to feel rushed with starting IVF.

@MissC07 kinda terrifying it has to get to CD128 before you can get a gynae referral...

TheDaydreamBelievers · 09/09/2021 09:00

@MissC07 @chinchilly record is 146 days I think! I feel middling crap, nothing scary just standard rotten

ChinChilly · 09/09/2021 08:56

@TheDaydreamBelievers sorry about the covid, hope you're all ok!

@MissC07 is CD128 a new record?

I'm 13dpo, no sign of AF at the moment but I'm sure she'll come to get me later today or tomorrow.

MissC07 · 08/09/2021 22:17

@TheDaydreamBelievers oh no!! Sorry to hear about the covid!! How are you feeling?
CD128 for me and still nothing, I've given up temping and OPK's too. The GP has referred me to a private gynae so I need to call up tomorrow and book an appointment! Other than that just have post holiday blues!!

TheDaydreamBelievers · 08/09/2021 22:02

How Is everyone? Our household is all covidy so using my line eye skillz to read LFTs not preg tests

Hopefully this cycle is the one 🤞
