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:

Handhold please ladies, initial appointment at the sub fertility clinic at the hospital for us (happy 8th wedding anniversary eh 😂)

@Kay00 I'm holding on tight to my pupper tonight for emotional support they are the cutest 🥰

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 04/10/2021 11:43

@ChinChilly nope 😬. For some reason I've lost all hope of being pregnant though, not quite sure why haha.
Sorry your temp dropped ☹. Hope its just a coincidence and AF doesn't show.

ChinChilly · 04/10/2021 09:46

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow any signs of AF yet?

My temp took abit of a dip this morning and I'm abit crampy, hope AF is intending on making an early appearance again 🙄

@sunshinedaisybuttermellow omg!! I can't wait for you to test 😁😁😁

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 03/10/2021 14:38

@Moocher90 I'm trying to wait until Wednesday so that I'm definitely late. Not sure I'm going to manage though, I've almost convinced myself I'm pregnant which is a very bad idea!! Still no signs of bleeding, and I'm really nauseous now 😬. Trying not to get my hopes up too much but it's hard. Think I would rather see AF than a negative test though so holding out still.

@Tillybabs that sounds really good though, 9 fertilised eggs sounds really amazing! Hopefully they all make it to the next stage!!! How exciting!

Kay00 · 03/10/2021 11:20

@tillybabs how exciting!! I will have everything crossed for those little eggies xx

Moocher90 · 03/10/2021 11:08

@Tillybabs congrats on the egg retrieval and getting 9 eggs fertilised! Here’s hoping the embabies grow to day 5 blasts and you will be PUPO soon! And it’s a sticky one xxx

Tillybabs · 03/10/2021 11:00

@TheDaydreamBelievers sorry you didn't get an answer. I hope your next consultant is more productive and they put a plan in place for you.

@Kay00 the puppies are soooo cute! How are you finding home life at the moment with everything going on?

@Moocher90 a holiday is probably just what you need and will take your mind off the tww

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow that all sounds promising, I have my fingers crossed for you!

I've been a bit quiet on here as I've had a lot going on. I've been moving and also started the IVF process so things have been max for me the past couple weeks or so. I had my EC yesterday and they collected 16 eggs and 9 have fertilised.

But now i need to wait to see if they survive the next few days. It's so nerve wracking but trying not to think about it too much.

Moocher90 · 03/10/2021 10:13

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow when are you going to test?

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 03/10/2021 07:54

@Moocher90 oh a holiday sounds lovely! Hopefully take your mind off the 2ww too.

I've had cramping and diarrhoea the past couple days so I expect AF is going to show soon. Nothing yet though, not even a pink tinge to my cervical mucus. Cervix very firm, closed and very far back. I'm somewhere between 12 and 17 dpo. I'm starting to let myself hope but trying not to. I usually start with pink tinged cervical mucus on 11-12 dpo so keeping my eye on it and praying.

Moocher90 · 02/10/2021 23:12

CD10 for me today and got my positive OPk just got to wait and see if I ovulate. Got my nhs gynaecology app on 21st, off to Cyprus on 13th Oct for a week as friend is getting married out there and thought might as well make a holiday of it.

@Kay00 those pups are adorable, super cute

ChinChilly · 02/10/2021 09:55

@MissC07 gosh that's such a long time, glad you got some though. My petrol tends to last me atleast a month, i only work 3 miles away from home with some days at home, i could walk but id rather not 🤣
Oh god your OH is going to have a sore head this morning.

MissC07 · 02/10/2021 09:47

@ChinChilly I went out at 7.30am and queued for 1 1/2 hours and managed to get a full tank! I was worried people will think I'm part of the problem but I desperately needed some! Also OH came home drunk as anything and projectile vomited, missing the toilet and ending up on the floor and the wall. So I actually enjoyed the 90mins of being out of the house and away from him!!

ChinChilly · 02/10/2021 09:37

@MissC07 did you manage to get some? It's almost embarrassing going to the petrol station now because people will think I'm panic buying

MissC07 · 01/10/2021 23:42

@ChinChilly that's good you've got some! I think I may have to resort to a 6am wake up tomorrow to see if anywhere has any. People will think I'm a panic buyer but I actually need some!!

MissC07 · 01/10/2021 23:41

@TheDaydreamBelievers I'm down in Surrey (about 20miles from London) It's an absolute joke - it's like the toilet roll situation all over again 🤬 I'm glad my OH isn't the only one being a giant pain in the arse today! He's gone for a boys night out which no doubt means he'll come home crashing around soon too....

ChinChilly · 01/10/2021 23:40

@MissC07 petrol situation is crazy here aswell, the petrol station near me filled up and was stripped again a few hours later, luckily I filled up just before the mayhem started so I should be ok for another couple of weeks.

@TheDaydreamBelievers shall we just say there is something in the air with the men...the seem like the common theme here 🤣

TheDaydreamBelievers · 01/10/2021 23:24

Jeez @MissC07 where are you? I'm raging at my DH too today. Hes just pissing me off!

OP posts:
MissC07 · 01/10/2021 23:14

@ChinChilly honestly he was driving me insane today. Asked me what the weather was like outside... when I was still in bed with the blinds shut. Started trying to have a conversation with me whilst I was on a conference call, and generally just breathing!! Road rage is a killer, the petrol issue down here is a joke too, did a loop of 6 petrol stations this evening and none are open!! I only have 50miles left on the car 😫

ChinChilly · 01/10/2021 22:43

@MissC07 I've never been on it but I'm not sure if there is something in the air, I've been exactly the same tonight I think at one point I was actually picking for an argument with OH, road rage was an issue this evening aswell 🤣

MissC07 · 01/10/2021 22:36

@TheDaydreamBelievers how annoying your scans didn't show anything. I hope your consultation appointment comes around quickly for you.

@Kay00 fingers crossed for your clomid cycle! The puppies are so adorable!!

Am on day 3 of taking Provera today, it's making me super bloated and moody. I keep snappjng at my OH. Although tbh don't know if that's the tablets or him being a general douche 🤣 Have got my bloods and scan on 14th, so lets hope AF has started by then! Has anybody on here been given Provera before??

Kay00 · 01/10/2021 21:25

@sunshinedaisybuttermellow that sounds quite promising 🤞🤞🤞

@thedaydreambelievers I think IUI with situmulated ovulation (likely Clomid) would be a great option for you 😊

The puppies are super cute 😍 they have started to open their eyes and today they have been trying to walk on all fours 🥰

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 01/10/2021 18:08

@TheDaydreamBelievers sorry you didn't get an answer! Hopefully they get on with the next steps quickly!

@Kay00 sorry about your stepmum. The puppies are beautiful 😍. And you have such good coverage this cycle too!

@MissC07 sounds like the appointment went relatively well then.

Nothing really to say from me. Didn't track this month so don't really know where I'm up to. Think I'm most likely somewhere between 10 and 15 dpo based on previous cycles and symptoms.
No symptoms of anything much really yet. Boobs not really sore, little bit achy but nothing to speak of. Relatively normal cervical mucus for this stage of my cycle. Cervix high, firm and closed.
I'm thinking if there's no AF, spotting or bloodshot cervical mucus by Tuesday I'll do a test maybe.

TheDaydreamBelievers · 01/10/2021 10:06

Also @Kay00 those puppies 😍😍😍 can I just take them home?!

@ChinChilly crossing my fingers hard for you!

TheDaydreamBelievers · 01/10/2021 08:00

Zero offence taken @Kay00 - I though the exact same! Ovaries size, shape, number of follicles all normal for age and no cysts seen. Uterus all healthy with a couple of cysts of a type that are normal and nothing impeding conception. Cervix fine.

She said cause could be metabolic and seemed surprised that thyroid etc all came back fine. Asked if GP had done hormone profiling and was super unsurprised that they had but on the wrong days (she rolled her eyes hard at GP). Was also very happy that I track and said it gives them loads of good info. She said she suspects their recommendation will be IUI with triggered ovulation.

Consultation is 27th october
