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:

Afternoon all, not much going on here. I’m 7DPO today and AF is due by Friday and I will be on holiday in Cyprus :/ and the day after i return I have my gynaecology appointment. I’ve got backache which I don’t usually get when AF is due, think as like most let my mind run wild and hope that I am pregnant 😂 I doubt I will test before Friday as my LP is only usually 10 days but if it don’t come I guess I can take a pregnancy test with me

Kay00 · 11/10/2021 15:02

@juno231 you look lovely 😊 I think AF is starting now... im certainly getting all the pain. So CD1 will be tomorrow for me.

I'm waiting for a call back from the fertility clinic as I still don't know what my CD21 progesterone results were... If they indicated ovulation then I will be taking 25g of Clomid daily days 2-6, but if they indicated no ovulation then I'll be taking 50g again.

Juno231 · 11/10/2021 11:38

@MintGreenLife wow that's quite the roller coaster with Elis! Sounds a bit traumatic tbh, are you coping okay now? How is the new house btw, are you happy you moved? I'm waiting for IVF - got my first appointment end of this month and hoping to try in Jan. Started a new job this month so I'll feel a bit shit about getting pregnant the first year but oh well.

My hair is dark brown and super straight. Length tends to yoyo between shoulder and boob length.

@Kay00 I expected AF today as I tend to have a 12 day LP but the witch got me yesterday :/

@MissC07 hurrah for AF finally coming! Hope you're feeling OK through it and it's not too horrible a one!

TheDaydreamBelievers · 11/10/2021 07:58

Welp. CD44, no ovulation yet, and now away for a week without DH. I think we all know where this cycle is going (in the garbage)

@MintGreenLife It's so so lovely to get an update from you and baby Elis, I was thinking about you lately as well!

I tend just to check in (lurk!!) on this thread every so often to see how you're all doing ❤️ It was a huge support to me as well not so long ago, and I'm still willing lots of baby dust around the place!!

ChinChilly · 10/10/2021 19:01

@Kay00 I've thought about getting a cleaner but I'm such a perfectionist I'd end up cleaning after they'd been 🤣🤣

Kay00 · 10/10/2021 18:07

@chinchilly well done! My house will be cleaned tomorrow... by my cleaners 😅 I just have to try and tidy it first 😆

ChinChilly · 10/10/2021 16:34

@MissM94 it is such high maintenance, so expensive aswell my recent hair do cost £255 😑

@MissC07 yay for AF...never thought I'd say that.

I've spent the entire day scrubbing every inch on my house...ready for bed now 😴

Kay00 · 10/10/2021 15:14

@missC07 they might offer you Metformin to encourage ovulation. Hopefully it does the trick for you 🤞

I'm feeling a bit flat with my first Clomid cycle not working. I had a bit of a cry this morning, but I'm back in the DIY now ehich keeps me happy and i will treat myself to a bath later 😊

MissC07 · 10/10/2021 14:43

@Kay00 thank you!! I suspect they'll just tell me I have PCOS again, but these are with a private gynae so I'm hoping she puts a treatment plan together for me. Sorry to hear AF sounds like she's on her way 😔

Kay00 · 10/10/2021 14:36

@missM94 😂😂😂

@missC07 🥳 yey!! Finally CD1!! Great to hear a few investigations are happening for you 🙌

I'm on 12DPO. My temp dropped a little further today and my cramping has increased... just waiting for AF to show now 👎

MissC07 · 10/10/2021 13:56

Hi ladies,

Sorry playing catch up!!

@Lovebug06 so pleased to hear your first scan went well!

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow Huge congratulations!!!

@ChinChilly love the colour of your hair!!! I'm also blonde but more 'dirty dishwater' blonde 🤣 So I have balayage to try and brighten it up a bit

Hope everyone is having a good weekend! I'm finally on CD1 after 159 looooong days, exactly 7 days after my last Provera tablet!! I also had reflexology at work on Friday and am convinced that helped too but probably wishful thinking! Now have another internal scan on Thursday (if AF finishes by then) and blood tests with a follow up appointment next Tues!

MissM94 · 10/10/2021 00:59

@Kay00 Hahah noooo! I have shoulder length blonde hair! 😂

@ChinChilly haha it's so strange isn't it! Blonde is high maintenance isn't it 😴

Lovebug06 · 09/10/2021 16:06

Thanks so much girls

@Juno231 yes I did nothing different completely random and unexpected. Decided to change things in life like my job, was going out more, trying to make myself happier in other ways as I didn't think it would happen and then it had. So strange.

Kay00 · 09/10/2021 14:27

@MissM94 Hehe for the record I picture you with long brown hair... am I right? 😆

ChinChilly · 09/10/2021 14:17

@MissM94 haha...I've been blonde most of my life but it was slowly destroying my hair! Isn't it funny how we all picture each other

ChinChilly · 09/10/2021 14:16

@TheDaydreamBelievers Yes to the sex thing, had 3 days straight of good sex not just ovulation sex and I thought we must of done it this time well apparently not 🤣🤣

@MintGreenLife shame you had such a rocky start, all worth it in the end. I had a MMC at the end of June so I'm just plodding along until my appointment at the rmc clinic

I brought the dyson air wrap that i posted about a few weeks ago and it's going back the thing is absolutely hopeless

MintGreenLife · 09/10/2021 13:56

@Kay00 thanks so much ☺️ So glad you got an answer as to what’s been going on and are getting some help. Will be keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you xxx

MintGreenLife · 09/10/2021 13:54

@Tillybabs was there part of that message missing? Glad things are moving forward for you. Four blastocysts sounds great! X

MissM94 · 09/10/2021 13:32

Omg same @Kay00 I expected @ChinChilly to be brunette 😂😂

Kay00 · 09/10/2021 13:12

Congratulations @mintgreenlife 😊 Elis is a lovely name xx sorry you had a bumpy start, and that he's not sleeping through yet, but I'm super pleased he's OK now xx

I found out I have PCOS, so was put on Metformin and started my first Clomid cycle recently. I was scanned at CD14 and had 3 x good follicles. We DTD lots and im currently 11DPO but (following a negative test yesterday) I'm not feeling too hopeful. Onwards and upwards!

Tillybabs · 09/10/2021 12:35

@MintGreenLife I'm good. I've started IVF and had my EC last week. I had 16 eggs and out of those 4 of good quality made it to blastocyst and have now been frozen.

I'm having a hysterocopy and MRI done to have a look at my adenomyosis which they discovered I have a

MintGreenLife · 09/10/2021 12:17

@Tillybabs thanks so much ☺️ How are things with you? Xx

Tillybabs · 09/10/2021 12:15

@MintGreenLife gosh I can't believe your baby is here already! Congratulations! Sounds like a traumatic time for you but glad all is ok now x
