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:

@ChinChilly ahh that makes sense then! I was gonna ask have they said what to expect like haha, hot water bottles and baths now it's cooled down outside 😂 rest up when she comes

ChinChilly · 10/08/2021 17:47

@Kay00 I am thanks, I think it's just the initial shock of a pregnancy announcement.

@MissM94 definitely wish there was more info on why it can effect menstrual cycles. Well the consultant who did the MVA said they don't remove all the lining and everything anymore just the pregnancy and any placenta as removing everything can increase the risk of causing damage to the womb when it will come away with my next period anyway. I've been warned for a heavy AF so I'm expecting a monster period lol.

MissM94 · 10/08/2021 16:18

@ChinChilly I know the thought of it is a bit daunting and I don't get me wrong, I was so stressed thinking something was wrong but I am glad I'm vaccinated, I just wish there was more info on it and what we was to expect but I guess it's all very new 🤷🏼‍♀️
Ahhh, hopefully she's not a bitch about it! Glad you're doing okay

Kay00 · 10/08/2021 15:50

@Moocher90 Bum! Sorry AF showed up. On the plus side you have some appointment planned which will give you something to drive towards - progress feels good Smile

@ChinChilly I hope you're feeling a little better this afternoon x

ChinChilly · 10/08/2021 15:42

@MissM94 I still haven't had my vaccine and the whole messing with the cycles stuff puts me off. I'm okay thanks, still patiently/impatiently waiting for my first AF post MC I'm 9dpo so I'm guessing she'll be here by the end of the week.

MissM94 · 10/08/2021 14:08

@ChinChilly thank you, definitely feeling better now I'm back in control of myself.. how are you doing?

Moocher90 · 10/08/2021 09:39

CD1 today!

Hycosy and SA for DH booked in for next Monday.
LP was 12/13 days depending on what app i was using so I’m happy with that. On a plus I actually did ovulate too.

ChinChilly · 10/08/2021 08:47

@MissM94 Yay, you must be pleased AF is back into a rhythm

@Kay00 ahh lovely dream, not so much on the dog poop though!

I've woken up with a banging headache and generally feeling like rubbish, even took a COVID test to be sure. Temps are still nice and high though

Kay00 · 10/08/2021 08:24

@MissC07 Dang! I hope you either ovulate or AF turns up soon Sad

I had a dream last night where I got my BFP and I was working out the best way to surprise my OH Smile I was so excited and was running around the house to find the best way. I woke up (for a midnight wee... thanks body!) and found my dog had done a massive poop in the bathroom! Ewwww.....!!!! Shock

I up my Metformin to 2 x 500mg tablets today.

MissM94 · 10/08/2021 08:23

@MissC07 of course! It was 92 days, it just turned up 1 day! I'm unsure if I ovulated I didn't get any pain or do any OPK's tbh but I have ovulated this cycle 😊

MissC07 · 10/08/2021 08:18

@Paintingfences congratulations!!!

@MissM94 Remind me how long your super cycle was before your normal one? Did you ovulate in the end or did AF just randomly turn up?

CD99 for me today and feeling well and truly fed up with everything 😔

Kay00 · 09/08/2021 19:33

@chinchilly 😑😑😑

@moocher90 hopefully your period will stay away 🤞🤞🤞

@missM94 every cloud ☁️🙃

7dpo. No news here.

ChinChilly · 09/08/2021 17:14

Argh! Somebody else I know just told me she's pregnant and due in January, wasn't planned and I don't think she's happy about it....FFS

Moocher90 · 09/08/2021 17:12

@Paintingfences congratulations on BFP.

My temp plummeted today and I was expecting AF but not arrived just yet. I have had abit of light brown spotting but no bleed so will assume it’s coming in the next few days

MissM94 · 09/08/2021 15:23

Think I'm finally back to normal post vaccine possibly fucking up my cycle! AF arrived yesterday 2 days early so my cycle was a lovely 33 days which is the lowest it's ever been! 🥳

MissM94 · 09/08/2021 14:31

@Paintingfences congratulations! ☺️

Paintingfences · 09/08/2021 13:08

Thanks all! I have a medical condition so my head is all over the place with different medications I'm on and worrying about that etc. (none which are dangerous for conceiving) My brain is melted. Gonna ring the doctor tomorrow and get everything on paper, see what they suggest I do next.

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 09/08/2021 13:02

@Paintingfences that's amazing, congratulations!!
You are probably around 5 weeks based on when you stopped your pill and the test. So exciting!

Kat668 · 09/08/2021 11:51

Massive congratulations @Paintingfences that's amazing news! The pain sounds horrible though so hopefully a one and done kind of pain! 🤞

Paintingfences · 09/08/2021 10:47

Thanks @ChinChilly for your comments and advice, much appreciated!

ChinChilly · 09/08/2021 09:51

@Paintingfences I've never had implantation bleeding personally but I'm sure i varies from person to person, some people think they've actually had thier period when it was implantation. I would guess that if your bleed stopped on the 5th Aug and you then got a positive pregnancy test on the 9th it probably was implantation. Also ovulation tests pick up HCG so that is probably why your ovulation tests were positive

Paintingfences · 09/08/2021 09:37

@ChinChilly Thank you for your comments, very reassuring that I'm not broken!! My withdrawal bleed was different to how I was expecting it, I thought it would be like a period. I didn't think implantation bleed would last so long?! This is all very confusing for a Monday morning!
Sorry about your MC, I hope you get good news soon. Xx

ChinChilly · 09/08/2021 09:31

@Paintingfences I've had it a few times around my period, and after I had an MVA following a my MC, it is something to do with ligaments and uterus contractions and all that kinda thing. It is one of those pains though were you just grab the nearest thing and squeeze until it passes.
Wow, your body got straight back into the swing of things then, your withdrawal bleed could of actually been implantation bleeding then.

Paintingfences · 09/08/2021 09:26

@ChinChilly that's so reassuring, I really thought I has going to have a heart attack. I've never felt pain like it before!

@Kay00 ill share my story but I don't want to upset anyone so please skip the next bit if anyone is feeling emotional.
6th July - stopped cerazette
31st July to 5th Aug - withdrawal bleed
7th Aug - postive ovulation test
8th Aug - positive ovulation test
Night of 8th - javelin Arse 😂
9th Aug - positive pregnancy test

So no clue how far along, I never thought I'd get a positive test now. But I have my hope contained, just in case. It's early days!

ChinChilly · 09/08/2021 09:16

@Paintingfences I think I've had that bumhome pain you're referring to, it's pretty horrid like someones shoved a bread knife up there 🤣🤣 sorry that's gross but its the only way I can describe it. It's so intensely painful though. I've seen a few women on here call it javelin arse lol

@Kay00 I know I've thought the same and there is so much that can go wrong how are any healthy babies ever born
