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:

@Kay00 @Sunshinedaisybuttermellow @ChinChilly @MissM94 @TheDaydreamBelievers @Moocher90 thank you lovelies ❤ I'm very lucky to be near family so parents and husband have been really supportive. My SIL went through one too a couple of years ago so she's been answering all my questions and helping me know what to expect. Just want the pain and cramping to stop :(

Moocher90 · 03/09/2021 11:29

@Kat668 I'm so sorry 😟 sending lots of love ♥️

ChinChilly · 03/09/2021 07:59

@Kat668 Oh I'm so sorry lovely, I know that feeling well, feel free to drop me a message if you want to talk to someone whos been there and unfortunately go the tshirt ❤ be kind to yourself.

@Kay00 ahh atleast if you've got a positive outlook for the next cycle

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 03/09/2021 07:04

Oh @Kat668 I'm so sorry. Look after yourself. I hope you and your partner have lots of support at home.

No AF for me yet. Had some very pale pink spotting on wiping yesterday after the blood streaked cm, but nil else. Lots of AF style cramps this morning so don't imagine it will be long before she shows her face though.

Kay00 · 03/09/2021 06:45

I overrode the FF settings changing from Advanced to Research mode, and it has given me crosshairs. If I ovulated on CD16 then I am firmly out this month. At least it will be a short month, I can't complain too much. I also feel like I'm going to really look after myself next month whereas my life is chaos this month!

TW - MC

Hi guys, not a happy update from me unfortunately, I suffered a miscarriage last night. Still in pain and not sure if I can go through trying again atm but hopefully that will change once the recovery goes on and I'll be joining you all in TTC again.

Hope you're all well x

So, I'm pretty sure that cycle was annovulatory- never really got into an actual bleed this "AF" - 3 days of.brown stained CM and over!

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 02/09/2021 15:11

I've just noticed a very slight tinge of colour to my cm on wiping so I think that's me out in a day or 2, just waiting for AF now I guess.

MissC07 · 02/09/2021 14:25

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow It was fairly easy to be honest, a lot to get my head around at first but the airports were SO quiet and so quick to get through.

ChinChilly · 02/09/2021 14:08

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow potentially, I've got an appointment with Tommy's in November and I knoe thyroid is something they will check so I guess I'll wait for that and see what they say

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 02/09/2021 14:05

That's rubbish @ChinChilly, is there any chance you could get a private prescription? I'm not sure what it would cost but might be an option?

ChinChilly · 02/09/2021 13:09

Eurgh, another pointless attempt with the doctor to try and get something done about my thyroid she literally just said 'your are not going to get treatment for you thyroid' apparently she knew nothing about any guidance saying TSH shouldn't be over 2.5 🙄

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 02/09/2021 12:04

Sorry @Moocher90 🙁. At least you were prepared for it.
Fingers crossed for this cycle!

Moocher90 · 02/09/2021 07:33

CD1 -AF arrived today in full force. I bled overnight but I was prepared and already had a towel on! Bring on next cycle.

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 02/09/2021 07:25

Oh no @ChinChilly, hope you're feeling better. Hopefully LP is a long one.

@Moocher90 has AF showed her face?

@MissC07 oh it looks amazing. How was the flight and things? Did you have to test / wear a mask etc?

ChinChilly · 01/09/2021 19:21

@TheDaydreamBelievers atleast it is a start and soon!

@MissC07 hope you're having a fab time.

MissC07 · 01/09/2021 16:40

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow @Kay00 @ChinChilly @Juno231 Thanks ladies! Am in Portugal ☀️ CD121 for me today and still nothing. I didn't bring any OPK's or my thermometer with me though so there will be a big blank on my FF! Will be calling the GP when I get back to be referred privately now my health insurance at work has kicked in.

@ChinChilly end of september, though not sure what all they offer yet. Dont think they offer hycosy for a start. Also very unsure if they can offer clomid or ivf only

OP posts:
Juno231 · 01/09/2021 13:13

@TheDaydreamBelievers ah I thought they were closer to the 100 mark :( don't mind me then!

ChinChilly · 01/09/2021 12:44

@Juno231 I'm giving it one more shot with my GP tomorrow about the thyroid, I was just going to wait until my app at Tommy's but the 24th November seems to far away.

@TheDaydreamBelievers did you say you were going to start private investigations? If so when are you starting those?

TheDaydreamBelievers · 01/09/2021 12:38

@Juno231 since miscarriage cycles have been (est ov in brackets):

43 days (36)
49 (42)
72 (61)
48 (40)
50 (N/A)

All ovulation only estimated. Some way way too close to end of cycle
