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 Yes, I regularly think similar things... but then I find it amazing that anyone gets pregnant all - haha! It seems so bloody difficult.

TheDaydreamBelievers · 09/08/2021 09:11

@Paintingfences congratulations! The bum hole pain happens in pregnancy, can be ligaments around the cervix and rectum changing.

The lines are strong but not insanely strong so I reckon you'll be 5 weeks or so? Get your hands on a clearblue weeks indicator to get an estimate

@Paintingfences Ooh wow... that is certainly odd! I wonder if your bowel movement was pressing on a nerve that had moved because of your pregnancy?

Do you think you would feel comfortable telling us your TTC story? I think I remember you saying you came off the pill in July? And only just had your withdrawal bleed?

ChinChilly · 09/08/2021 09:05

@Paintingfences I agree need to know what the gross experience was...congrats!

@TheDaydreamBelievers eurgh! How annoying. I totally get that feeling, I was actually walking the dog this morning thinking how come millions of women carry babies problem free and I can't 🤔 random early dog walking thoughts lol

Paintingfences · 09/08/2021 09:04

@Kay00 Thanks, I'm sending my husband out to get one of those tests that tell you how many weeks. I don't want to get too excited but I needed to tell someone!

Eh so do not read if squeamish or eating!!!! I woke up at about 12.30am with a horrendous pain in my.....bumhole. Like it was so painful, I was shaking and felt lightheaded and thought I was going to pass out. I was lying on the bathroom floor, not knowing was I going to pass out or gave a heart attack. Then I pooped and was fine 🙈 That has never ever happened to me before, I thought something was seriously wrong. Apologies for the story!

Kay00 · 09/08/2021 08:59

@Paintingfences Also... please explain about the gross thing. I think we will all be really intrigued Grin

Kay00 · 09/08/2021 08:59

@Paintingfences OMG!!! Yesss!!!! Congrats!!! I'm super pleased for you

Paintingfences · 09/08/2021 08:36

I hope this is OK to post here. So I had a very odd experience last night (it's really gross so won't explain unless asked!) and I tested this morning just to rule out pregnancy as a cause. It didn't rule it out🙈
I have no idea how far along I am and no clue what to do next. I'm shook.

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow Sorry to hear you're out. Hopefully this month with be your month xx

@TheDaydreamBelievers Urgh... that's annoying. I have had charts before where FF has assumed I ovulated all the way up until '14DPO' when I then ACTUALLY ovulated and my temp shot up properly. Hope that your cycle becomes clearer soon... but keep DTD just in case!

TheDaydreamBelievers · 09/08/2021 07:50

Wasted a FRER this morning. If AF doesnt arrive in next 3 days (doesn't feel like it) then FF is wrong about ovulation.

Feeling really flat and sick of my useless body tbh.

Sorry to hear the witch arrived @Sunshinedaisybuttermellow

ChinChilly · 09/08/2021 07:32

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow ahh sorry AF arrived.

My temps are still ok but I do feel like AF is about to arrive. Chart attached for anyone remotely interested 😂

@TheDaydreamBelievers you've still got cross hairs so 🤞🤞. Other than the dip at 7dpo your temps look good. It could be an implantation dip?

@Moocher90 that sounds promising hopefully!! 🤞🤞

TheDaydreamBelievers · 08/08/2021 16:26

@Kay00 I'll test again Tuesday am. If it's a no, then it's probably quite a clear no by then

OP posts:
Kay00 · 08/08/2021 15:44

@thedaydreambelievers well, FF still thinks you could have ovulated, and your temps are as high as mine ever go in my LP, so I'm still on the fence.

@moocher90 @sunshinedaisybuttermellow 🤞🤞🤞 we ate long overdue some success stories xx

TheDaydreamBelievers · 08/08/2021 14:43

I'm pretty sure that I have in fact not ovulated and am just waiting as per usual

@TheDaydreamBelievers @Sunshinedaisybuttermellow
Thanks for replying! I'm still trying to understand everything about TTC so everything is a huge help😊

Moocher90 · 08/08/2021 12:34

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow it was relatively high. Not all the way but higher then if AF was coming as it’s very low and would only have to put small amount of finger in. I am not going to test tomorrow and I may just wait as if it was implantation it will take a few days surely to get a positive test. If it hasn’t come by weds and my temps are still high then I am probably in with a shot.

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 08/08/2021 12:08

@Paintingfences it's possible yeah, especially if you have short cycles. If you are cd8 today will a positive opk ovulation could potentially be cd9 or 10, which would put you at around a 24 day cycle of you have a 14 day lp. So short but not outside of normal really.

@Moocher90 when you checked your cervix how was it? High or low / Soft or firm etc? I think your chart looks really promising 🤞🤞

I'm 14dpo today, AF not showed yet, technically is due tomorrow according to femometer. Cervix is high and soft, no blood on my finger when i checked it today. When I checked it a couple of days ago there was very dark brown blood on my finger. I'm still expecting it to come I think, lots of cramping and dull ache in the bottom of my stomach.
Had a negative test on 11dpo then started with the dark spotting so not tested again. I was 2 days late last month and AF came literally an hour after I did a test so going to try and wait it out this month I think.

ChinChilly · 08/08/2021 11:37

@Kay00 Ikr, felt super ungrateful saying I hope it's AF and not anything implantation related. Well there's been no more but I'm quite crampy so I guess we'll see.

Moocher90 · 08/08/2021 11:24

Morning ladies xx so I’m 11 or 12DPO today depending on the app I use. Checked my cervix and there was a tiny amount of blood/mucus on my finger but a pinky colour. Not sure if this is AF coming imminently or implantation, I feel abit crampy. My temp is still high but I am not sure if whether my temp plummets once AF comes as I don’t have many cycles when I ovulate to compare it to despite being off contraception nearly 1 year. I shall wait and see if AF comes or see what my temps are doing tomorrow. My ovusense chart is attached.

@paintingfences haha! Get DTD!!

Happy Sunday ladies!

TheDaydreamBelievers · 07/08/2021 22:38

@Paintingfences I'd say probably yes. The withdrawal bleed is created by the pill not by any real bodily processes. That said, remember positive OPKs just mean LH rises in an attempt to ovulate. It may take your body a couple of goes. But still, get on it!

@Lovebug06 I'm okay thanks lovely. Still not preggo but about to pass a big work deadline so that'll be good

OP posts:
Paintingfences · 07/08/2021 21:10

So this will be the world stupidest question so prepare yourself 😂 Can you start ovulation just after a withdrawal bleed? I stopped my pill 6th July, my withdrawal bleed lasted from 31st July until 4th August. I used an ovulation test yesterday (just to see how they worked really!) and there was a line. And there was a line today as well, definitely darker than the control line. So I'm not really sure what's going on.....?
