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:

@Kay00 huge hugs. One day you will get to live in your hope fortress, I know it ❤

Thanks ladies. My hope fortress has been quickly deconstructed. I did an IC and got a bfn. At least now I can stop thinking about it xx

TheDaydreamBelievers · 08/10/2021 18:51

@Lovebug06 amazing. I'm so happy it's going well!

@Kay00 hope or no hope doesnt affect the outcome, so you may as well get some happiness!

@Kay00 @MissM94 thanks so much xx
I was 13 weeks yesterday. I was a few days more than I thought.

There's nothing wrong with having hope @Kay00 its what we all want so much. I always said I had none but you can't help but have some each month. The month I got my bfp I actually didn't let myself somehow or I just couldn't even think about it. I flat out refused to test for days when dh insisted because I couldn't take the disappointment. When I finally did it (only because I had a night out that weekend and wanted to confirm that I wasn't before I drank) I couldnt believe my eyes. I hope so much for you that you get that very soon too xx

Kay00 · 08/10/2021 17:06

@lovebug06 that's so lovely 😊 thank you for updating us xx we really do love to hear the good news xx

@chinchilly hmmm... how many DPO are you?

I'm 10dpo and building my hope fortress again 🙄 why do I do this to myself?! I have been getting this funny niggling feeling for the past 48 hours on the left side between my hip bone and public hair line (sorry tmi 😅) and I obviously think it's implantation which is just ridiculous 😆 but here we are... this hope fortress will be very high, and its going to be long fall down when AF arrives 🥴

MissM94 · 08/10/2021 16:32

@Lovebug06 congratulations, happy the scan went well! How many weeks are you?

Lovebug06 · 08/10/2021 16:00

Hi girls,

For those of you that know me but some may not, I was part of these threads for a long time

I went quiet after receiving my news as I wouldn't want to talk about it too much here. I understand how painful this journey is. I have thought about you all a lot and I have checked on here too.

I just thought I would update you all that I had my first scan this week and it all went well. I still didn't believe it until then and had been testing still until two days before.

I hope this doesn't upset anyone, but I understand if it does.
I truly never had a hint of anything in 21 cycles, And endometriosis. It's true it can just happen after all that time.

Sending you all so much love ❤️

ChinChilly · 08/10/2021 10:13

AF has stopped FFS.

@Kat668 eurgh, sorry AF is being a bitch 😕

Kat668 · 08/10/2021 09:56

Ouch that's the worst sorry @ChinChilly 😨

I've got everything crossed for you both too @Kay00 and @Juno231 !

Sadly I seem to have gone down the extremely heavy first AF route :( took the day off work today to have a mental health day before battling a weekend in London with a very heavy AF!

ChinChilly · 07/10/2021 16:24

@Kay00 @Juno231 glad I'm not the only one 🤣 got everything crossed for both of you!!

Juno231 · 07/10/2021 15:13

@ChinChilly eek I haaate that feeling!

@Kay00 I'm 9dpo as well! We're only ntnp until IVF so only managed to BD once in the FW. Odds are shit at the best of times so I'm not holding my breath. Will you test early this time or wait for AF to be late first? Got my fingers crossed for you - hopefully one of those three eggs has stuck around!

Kay00 · 07/10/2021 14:23

shudders

Urgh we have all lived that 😖

I'm 9dpo today

ChinChilly · 07/10/2021 14:19

Ok well I thought AF was in full flow but I've just had the pleasure of taking out dry tampon 😖 tmi but seriously that is the most uncomfortable thing ever 😫

ChinChilly · 07/10/2021 11:17

@Kay00 I'm honestly ok with it, my RMC appointment is coming up in November so ideally i didn't want to get pregnant before then anyway just incas, how many dpo are you now?

Kay00 · 07/10/2021 10:44

Damn! Sorry @chinchilly

ChinChilly · 07/10/2021 08:59

AF got me this morning, wierdly I didn't get my normal day of brown spotting before full flow just straight into bright red.

Moocher90 · 06/10/2021 20:17

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow congrats on the BFP!!!! Xx

Kat668 · 06/10/2021 19:54

@ChinChilly and @TheDaydreamBelievers ahh thank you, hopefully I'll be the same, just don't want it ruining this weekend.

TheDaydreamBelievers · 06/10/2021 19:44

@Kat668 I had a much heavier third AF after MC but the first was actually v normal

OP posts:
ChinChilly · 06/10/2021 19:37

@Kat668 my first one post MC actually wasn't that bad, no heavier but abit more crampy, the second one however was pretty heavy.

Kat668 · 06/10/2021 19:24

Congratulations @Sunshinedaisybuttermellow !! That's such amazing news, I'm so happy for you!

It's my third wedding anniversary today and mother nature decided to give me a present, my first post-mc AF 🙄 super annoyed it had to be today, and also worried about the weekend as we're going to London for an anniversary trip. I've heard the first one is usually a lot heavier so I'm going to be so self-conscious.

Kay00 · 06/10/2021 16:30

🥳🥳 yey!! Huge congrats @sunshinedaisybuttermellow 👏

@thedaydreambelievers sorry your temp dropped again... how annoying!

8dpo here and zero symptoms. I know I will be crushed when AF turns up or I get a BFN in a few days time. This is my 1st medicated cycle, I know I had 3 decent follicles and we DTD loads 😆 I know it only gives me as much chance as anyone else, but if it doesn't work then I will feel like I have tried everything and it will never work 🙃

MissM94 · 06/10/2021 11:01

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow congratulations!! Lovely lines 🥰

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 06/10/2021 10:50

Thank you all!!
I honestly expected it to be negative so I'm in shock.

Baby dust to everyone!!!

TheDaydreamBelievers · 06/10/2021 10:36

Congratulations @Sunshinedaisybuttermellow - strong lines!
