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:

Hi Lovebug!! 👋 how are you?

@chinchilly hmm... that would be typical wouldn't it? 🙃

I'm 5dpo, eating pinapple and popping my B-Complex. Not much else to report!

Lovebug06 · 07/08/2021 17:02

Hi all,

I know I disapeared again, it's just like I explained when I was last on, it's how I deal with now

How are you all? X

ChinChilly · 07/08/2021 16:32

Hmm just had a random streak of brown cm 🤔 never thought I'd be hoping it was an early AF and not implantation related.

ChinChilly · 07/08/2021 15:03

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow 6dpo today according to FF. The month I got my BFP i was convinced AF was coming, I had AF style cramps so your defo not out until she arrives

Moocher90 · 07/08/2021 14:07

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow I am going to wait until Monday then use a frer if my temps are still high if they start to drop over the weekend I won’t bother as I can only assume AF is coming.

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 07/08/2021 13:53

@Juno231 I did a test at 11dpo which was negative so I'm assuming I'm out. It was at the very end of the day though so possibly I suppose. No further blood at all. One steak of very dark brown blood on a pad yesterday morning, nothing since. Still cramping though so am expecting it to start. I just don't "feel" pregnant haha.

@ChinChilly how many dpo are you?

@Moocher90 your chart looks good. Will you test or wait to see if AF shows?

If AF does show in the next day or 2 I'll be right in my fertile window when we are staying with friends which is not ideal!!!

Moocher90 · 06/08/2021 10:28

@TheDaydreamBelievers I think it’s more reliable then bbt as it’s not like I have got to take temp at a certain time etc. I just sleep, wake up, pull out and then download. Easy. Still have to do OPKs though.

Theosmommy2011 · 06/08/2021 10:01

@TheDaydreamBelievers thank you 😁 xx

@Moocher90 how do you find ovusense? I'm pondering it.

I tested today just to stop me wondering (9DPO). I'll do another 13dpo, again to stop the wondering, not cause I actually think it's a possibility. I think FF has just got it wrong this month

Just called the fertility clinic and she asked if I'm sure I'm ovulating and not pregnant. I don't think so. She told me to test but also said ovulation bleeding can happen.

I have however had a later ovulation after thinking I peaked on CD 15. My peak wasn't very high at CD15 but the app seemed to think I had. But then I had another LH surge the last 2 days. I'm currently CD23 which is late for me.

I genuinely don't think so anyway and not testing yet.

ChinChilly · 06/08/2021 08:53

@Moocher90 fingers crossed for you🤞

@Tillybabs I don't remember getting cramps this soon before AF, but I am fully expecting a few wonky cycles so I'll be ok with it if AF does arrive early

Tillybabs · 06/08/2021 08:29

@Kay00 @ChinChilly I read that's a thing but never had it before and the cramping worried me. I will give the fertility nurse a call.

@ChinChilly hmm could be. I sometimes get cramps 5-6 days before AF comes

Moocher90 · 06/08/2021 08:11

So I’m either 9 or 10DPO depending on what app I am using….temps are still high but am not testing yet until Monday I think as by then I will see what my temps are doing and decide whether there’s any point in testing. I don’t have many ovulatory cycles to compare to to know if it’s still looking good or not

@Tillybabs I've never had ovulation bleeding but I've heard it is a thing.

I've got AF cramps today, wondering if this could be a super short LP 🤔

Juno231 · 06/08/2021 07:21

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow tbf all of what you described you can have with a bfp too!

Kay00 · 05/08/2021 23:48

@tillybabs I had a little bit of bleeding in the days after my HyCoSy, but nothing since then (other than my period). I do however sometimes just get small random bleeds which I don't think are anything to worry about, but they tend not to come with any pain. Could it be ovulation bleeding? I think that's a thing that can happen?

TheDaydreamBelievers · 05/08/2021 22:06

@Theosmommy2011 in that case CD1 yeah! I often spot 1 or 2 days before AF, which is why I differentiated them

Tillybabs · 05/08/2021 21:20

Hi ladies. Has anyone ever had bleeding during ovulation?

I'm ovulating and feel tender down there as usual. I felt some sharp pains in the pelvic area which lasted maybe 5-10 mins. They were painful enough that I took some paracetamol

Anyway I stood up and felt wet and so went to the bathroom and I have some dark blood more than spotting but not a massive amount but enough to be concerned.

I only seem to have had pain since I had the Hycosy and scans!

A little worried now. Pain is no longer there

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 05/08/2021 20:00

I think I'm out again this month.
Cd25, 11dpo. Thought I had a tiny bit of blood yesterday (literally the tissue was barely pink in some lights), but I had lots of cramps.
Today still cramping and noticed definite blood streaked cm on wiping. I'm a bit upset but not surprised. I think I'm more annoyed at my body tbh.

@TheDaydreamBelievers sorry your chart is such a troll Sad

Theosmommy2011 · 05/08/2021 19:50

@TheDaydreamBelievers hi, sorry I didn't explain that very well. When I start spotting the bleeding follows the same day, so it has started now xx

Kem1234 · 05/08/2021 19:16

Thanks for the advice @juno231, @kay00, @chinchilly. I planning on calling the doctor next week to try get a foot in the door, and I've also booked in for Kore therapy (at this point I will try anything).

@Theosmommy2011 not sure what app you use but most apps only count actual bleeding as CD1 not spotting Smile

@Theosmommy2011

Hi ladies, need a bit of advice. I have started spotting today and feel that AF is coming, this will be my first pill free bleed. Would I class this as CD1? TIA xx

@salviapages it's difficult to see in the picture, Sorry xx

@Theosmommy2011 I'm also interested in this answer! I just finished my first pill free bleed. I'm thinking of just starting from my next period, in the hopes it's a "proper" period. I was gonna try ovulation tests about 12 days after the first day I started my withdrawal bleed to see if I'm ovulating. There's so much information here, I'm so confused about everything now😅
