Post Pill Party - Pool Party

@Kat668 congratulations, such a strong line. We've been long overdue some BFPs on this thread

@Kat668 congratulations on the BFP!

I am in a state of shock! Did the test today as we've got a friend coming round and we thought it would be a good distraction from the disappointment of a negative but got a blazing BFP! 🤯 DH had to literally hold me up I almost collapsed with happiness. Line showed up straight away. Ahhh!

@Kay00 I am still in with a chance and I'm 9dpo at the moment.

I have one more cycle before the ivf medication starts

Fingers crossed that it helps you ovulate! It's all moving in the right direction 😃

@tillybabs it's good that you have ovulated and there is nothing untoward going on :-) are you in with a chance of conception this cycle?

AF arrived for me, so I'm CD1 today of cycle 13. Unlucky for some 😅. This will be my first fully Metformin cycle before I throw Clomid into the mix. I'm looking forward to seeing if I have ovulated with the Clomid, and I hope either of these drugs give me a decent chance of getting pregnant 🤞🤞🤞

@Lovebug06 that's so amazing I'm so happy for you. I remember you coming off here for a while as you were struggling.

I'm so pleased for you and it just goes to show that it is possible and don't give up hope.

Nothing need to report here. Waiting for AF to arrive. Had another scan yesterday which confirmed ovulation. I mentioned the pain and bleeding and she that sometimes happens during ovulation. She told me the lining of my womb is a bit off due to these small myomas I have but not to be too concerned about that because when I start IVF treatment they can help with that.

I'm so confused though because I've had several scans and she said the lining was good.

@salviapages have you had a withdrawal bleed after coming off the pill? It could be that if you haven't? It could be implantation so maybe to be safe wait a couple more days and take a first response/early test?

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow my last period was a lot lighter than normal but still went on for 5 days and had clots so really don't think it could be implantation. I'm probably going to try and hold off testing till nearer my AF due date. Just don't know if I could handle the disappointment 😅 at least with waiting I can hold on to that 10% of hope 😂

@Lovebug06 massive congratulations to you xx so happy for you x

@ChinChilly hopefully the pains ease off soon for you.

@Lovebug06 that is amazing news, massive congratulations! So so happy for you.

@Kay00 sorry the pains started! Have a glass (or few!) Of wine tonight haha

@Kat668 do a test! Is there any chance your last period could've been implantation bleeding instead of a proper period?

So my period started Monday as I said. Stopped bleeding Tuesday evening, then had one random flood of blood around 6pm Wednesday evening but nothing since. Keep getting really weird sharp pains though so wondering if there's more bleeding to come.
This month my fertile week falls right when staying with friends ugh. Then next AF due in the middle of a very long awaited holiday 😩. So I'll either be spending my holiday bleeding or wanting to test. We fly at 12dpo so might test before we go just so I know.

Hi all, need advice! Have you ever had an implantation bleed?

Came off the mini pill on 6th July. Been taking daily ovulation tests as not sure when cycle would start. Think I ovulated around 2/3 August (strongest line yet on test but not as strong as the control line?) This morning I had cramps and thought it was my period, but it's very dark brown, no clots. Seems to be stopping now. Don't want to get my hopes up but it seems odd. If it was implantation bleed would a pregnancy test be able to detect it yet or would it be too early?

@Lovebug06 congratulations! So so happy for you ♥️

@Juno231 very similar to the cramps I had after the MVA, they're bareable with pain killers, hope it dies down by tomorrow otherwise I'll be rattling as I walk with the amount of pills I'm popping

@MissC07 I hope they take you seriously!

@Lovebug06 erm more info please! How many dpo, any symptoms, what did DH say, show us line pics! This needs to be massively celebrated after 21 cycles

@Kay00 sorry about the BFN, but atleast you can enjoy all the wine now!

@MissC07 can't believe how long your cycle has been, hope the doctors are helpful.

My AF cramps have been terrible the last 2 day I'm alternating paracetamol and ibuprofen every few hours 😫

Oh @Lovebug06 that is such amazing news! I am so so happy for you!! 😊

I've been feeling a bit weird these last few days, not to give you all too much info, I've had icky stomach two morning and last night threw up out of the blue. Trying not to get my hopes up that this could be related to a BFP as I'm sure it's far too early for that. I'm not tracking so don't know when/if I ovulated but my app was predicting Tuesday last week, so would be 10po. Did a lateral flow test this morning to rule that out.
I also worked out that if I don't get my bfp this cycle or next I will be pregnant at my best friend's wedding where I'm a bridesmaid :(

@Kay00 thank you! I'll call my doctors now!

@MissC07 I am looking at the NICE guidelines for managing clinical features of PCOS (one of which is having less than 1 x period every 3 months), and it suggests your doctor should prescribe progestogen for withdrawal bleed induction. You might not have a PCOS diagnosis, but I have read that is not healthy to allow your endometrial lining to build up too thick (for more than 3 months). It might be worth having a chat with your doctor again?

@Lovebug06 congratulations!!! So happy for you!

@Kay00 Sorry about the BFN although pleased you can relax this evening.

CD102 for me 😫 my FF has given me dotted crosshairs. But I think they are wrong as my OPK's haven't been showing dark lines. Fed up of this all now

@chinchilly that's understandable xx

I tested - BFN 👎👎👎 no big surprise though. Plus, I can relax and enjoy tonight now.

I plan to have another full cycle on Metformin before I start the Clomid... and if 6 months of Clomid doesn't work. Then gawd knows!! 😂

@Kay00 I'm pretty relieved for her arrival to be honest, the thought of being pregnant so soon after MC terrifies me. Just hoping my cycle falls back into place now. Sods law with the AF pains!

Haha... since I wrote that i might test this morning (just 35 mins ago) I have started getting period pains! What are the chances!

@Lovebug06 I am absolutely delighted for you. I have been following your story and wish and all the luck in the world. X

@Lovebug06 Yey!!!! That's incredible!! Huge congratulations, you deserve it so much. I'm sorry to hear you have been diagnosed with Endo, it might explain a lot, but it clearly didn't fully prevent your OH's swimmers meeting your egg

@Juno231 thanks for that, that's a good idea. I know I was abit shocked when he said not to try again I'm guessing they just advice that after however many loses to save your own mental health more than anything.

@Lovebug06 massive congratulations lovely, so happy for you.

AF arrived last night properly so my LP was a little bit shorter than usual but I'm guessing I'll have a few wonky cycles. I finally booked my vaccine in for Sunday
