Post Pill Party - Pool Party

@Juno231 @Kay00 those are both really nice idea. The last time I told OH i was pregnant is was along the lines of 'im pregnant again but god knows how long for' 🙄🙄 I had a positive OPK yday and and blazing positive today, strongest I've ever had and my temp shot up this morning so I'm guessing im ovulating. Kinda proud of my body for getting back into its normal cycle post MC.

@moocher90 really hope that's not an early AF! And I have everything crossed for a decent progesterone result 🤞

@juno231 oh no, haha, I haven't thought to look at the expiry date on the digital I have stashed for the same reason 😅 I love the baby grow idea... I might steal that one 😁 I have also bought a book on becoming a dad for my OH too.

I feel a-bit crampy today :/ I really hope it’s not AF coming. I usually have a 11/12 day LP.

@moocher90 got my fingers crossed for good results for once

@kay00 don't lol I'm in a similar boat except my pregnancy tests are starting to expire. This whole time I've just had one digital test waiting for me where I'd planned to use it after getting my BFP so I could show OH the result as part of telling him.

Oh and OH found two sealed parcels the other week and wanted to know what was in them and why do I have unopened parcels... Those have been here since March 2020 and contain a "You're going to be a daddy" and a baby grow saying "baby + our surname".

So I’m 7DPO today and went for a progesterone blood test today. Hopefully will know by Monday if it shows I ovulated. Temps are still raised so fingers crossed 🤞🏻confirms that ovulation did take place.

@Kay00 ovulation was always around CD17/18 for me, not sure if my cycles will follow the same pattern now. I had ewcm a few days ago so thought i was on for ovulation but my opks are darkish but not positive 🙄 so annoying. I vote for scoffing the whole bar of choc I ate whole big bar of whole nut last week in one day... no shame

@Kay00 aww that's shite 😩 but still eat the chocolate, you deserve it!

Hehe, thanks ladies. I'll unwrap it and share with OH tonight as a treat. Its a bit massive so hopefully we don't scoff it all in one go 😅

@thedaydreambelievers 😒 sorry to hear you have had another friend announce their pregnancy xx

@chinchilly I'm on CD13 and no sign of Ov here either. No EWCM, temps are still low and OPKs are stark white. Still, I mustn't grumble, its still very early for me.

@Kay00 definitely eat it!

@TheDaydreamBelievers eurgh, that sucks! Hope your ok!

Still impatiently waiting for ovulation CD15 today so anyday now i guess although this cycle may be abit wonky.

@Kay00 it will be fine to eat so go ahead lol

Ladies. It is a sad day 😆 back in 2020 when I first started TTC I (nievely) bought a few bits to present to my OH when I found out we were pregnant 🙃 they included this bar of Big Daddy chocolate from M&S... which has been sat in my drawer so long it has gone out of date 😪

I'm still tempted to eat it 😂

Hopefully it isn't AF @MissC07. Do you do opks? Any signs of a positive?

Not much to report for me. Think I may have ovulated on Sunday or Monday but we were staying with friends from Thursday so likely missed the window this month.

I hope everyone is having a good week so far.

CD114 for me and I've had the worst sciatic/hip pain all day. I can't remember if that's one of my ovulation symptoms it's been so long!! Knowing my luck it's my AF arriving just in time for my holiday on Sunday ✈️

@Tillybabs blazing* 🙄

@Tillybabs I've definitely heard that bleeding was a thing, I've never experienced it but last cycle and this one the ovulation pain has been intense! I must be dropping a big fat egg 😂😂 just done an OPK and it's not a boxing positive, I've had quite a few wee's though so I'll try again later on a big hold.. don't want that pain to of been for nothing hahaha

@Kay00 aww yours sound bearable! Mine are like full on cramps and a dull ache that's just there constantly, this time it's disappeared after some pain killers but last time it was with me all day!

Yeah, I can imagine it to be a trying time so I understand wanting a boat full of similar people, just don't want to be responsible for ruining someone's day haha

@MissM94 I'm pretty sure I have had the odd ovulation cramp. For me they feel like little popping sensations, and the area is a little sore. But I don't get them every time. Plus... i don't necessarily ovulate, so its possible I'm feeling my swollen ovaries try but fail

Also... I love to hear when one of our party goer's gets pregnant !! It really keeps me going.

But I totally get why @TheDaydreamBelievers wants to join a thread with other ladies going through treatment. The fertility treatments are complicated and an emotional rollercoaster, so its good to chat to women going through similar .

@MissM94 I get ovulation cramps. They are normally mild but last cycle it was severe for a few mins and then I bled!

But that's the first time that happened to me and I've been told that can happen.

I tend to get a bit tender leading up to ovulation so your body could be gearing up for it.

@ChinChilly I know what you mean, I just wouldn't want anyone to feel like shit so was just thinking what's best for us all haha 😩

Has anyone ever had ovulation type cramps, you know.. next to hip - fucking agony 😂 and it hasn't been ovulation? Currently got them and a bit of backache, I'm not due to ovulate until Friday so earlier than normal if it is that but just wondering what else it could be, will do an OPK when I get home just after 2 and see what's happening but I did one last night around 6/7pm and it was negative 🤷🏼‍♀️

So my birthday celebrations are pretty much over, I think my RHR is telling me no more alcohol 🤣 alcohol doesn't seem to effect my BBT though.

@TheDaydreamBelievers no no, don't be sorry! I didn't feel any shade in the slightest, I just want you to feel comfortable that's all 😊

I agree with @TheDaydreamBelievers I think its more when some women post as they are 3 days off the pill then fall pregnant 30 seconds later, (I'm just jealous of thier functioning bodies) For those of us who have been around a while it's lovely to see those BFPs
