Post Pill Party - Pool Party

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 I don't have it but have been following lottiedrynan on insta for ages and she seems to looove hers and it's not an ad lol.

@kat668 perfect timing! Hopefully ovulation happens pre weekend so you don't have to stress about missing the egg

Kat668 · 21/09/2021 08:29

@MissM94 thank you x

@ChinChilly yeah it's tough, yesterday would have been my scan, but luckily work was really busy and took my mind off it. I've gone back and caught up, and just want to say I hope you're OK and the referral, whether private or with Tommy's goes well x

I haven't got one but I've heard good things! I always check independent review pages to see what people are saying too, might be worth checking those with that price?

This morning I got my negative test, and I haven't bled for a few days so think I'm gunna start TTC again today! 🤭 I had loads of EWCM yesterday evening so not sure if that's just the end of the MC or whether my body is already ovulating but I'm not ginna risk it and miss my window! 😂

ChinChilly · 21/09/2021 07:53

@Kat668 sorry your finding it hard, I get it sometimes I sit and think about the milestones we would of hit by now, finding out the gender, 20 week scan etc... it's really tough.

Random question ladies, does anyone have the dyson airwrap? I'm pretty tempted to buy one but the price tag isn't cheap (£450) so I'm trying to figure out if it's worth the price tag or not.

MissM94 · 20/09/2021 21:14

@Kat668 thank you ♥️ sorry you're having such a hard time atm x

Kat668 · 20/09/2021 18:33

@Juno231 and @Sunshinedaisybuttermellow thank you both. Love a good hot tub so will make the most of being able to go in! It's a girly weekend so hubby won't be affected 😂 need to look at the positives as this weekend was when I was meant to be telling them I was pregnant so will be a bit tough.

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 20/09/2021 16:42

@Kat668 sorry you've been having an awful time. Personally I would go in the hot tub, maybe just drop it a couple of degrees or don't stay in too long if concerned.

Juno231 · 20/09/2021 13:02

@kat668 I'm sorry you've had a rough time of it. The hot tub precaution is when you're already pregnant I think, as it's about the raising of your body temp potentially harming the baby the same way it's really bad for you to have a fever when pregnant. Around ovulation it won't have an effect - although it might for OH's swimmers if he's going too!

I'd say don't overthink it as you could be a while away from ovulation if unlucky - lots of post MC cycles get wonky. Focus on relaxing and having a good time, you deserve it!

Kat668 · 20/09/2021 12:58

@MissM94 huge congratulations that's such wonderful news!

Hey everyone :) sorry I've been absent from here after the MC. Had a few complications with it so needed some time off. I think fingers crossed I'm at the end of it now so starting to think about TTC again. Will be doing a test soon to double check it's all done with. Quick question though, I'm going on a weekend away to a cottage with a hot tub this weekend. If I'm negative and could be leading up to ovulation, would it be best to not go in the hot tub? I know the docs said to wait for the first period so they can date it easier but I just want to get started ASAP and don't want to do anything that might jeopardise it.

Anyway hope your all well!

@Moocher90 thank you! X

Moocher90 · 18/09/2021 08:42

@MissM94 congrats on the BFP!! X

MissM94 · 17/09/2021 11:12

@Juno231 I used the excuse "I'm growing your child" to my partner last night to get more back tickles so think I'm finally accepting I am pregnant 😂 thank you xxx

MissM94 · 17/09/2021 11:10

@Juno231 thank you, you're so right!

@TheDaydreamBelievers thank you ♥️

@ChinChilly honestly I feel loads better, I really am being positive and acknowledging what I currently am, you've helped me massively so thank you for that xxx

ChinChilly · 17/09/2021 09:43

@MissM94 ahh thank you, that's really kind, hope you're feeling better about everything xx

TheDaydreamBelievers · 16/09/2021 20:54

I agree with @ChinChilly and @Juno231. Also, remember despite our experiences, the odds are in your favour!

@MissM94 yup keep reminding yourself "today I am pregnant" - cause that's all that matters! Enjoy it xxx

MissM94 · 16/09/2021 18:29

@ChinChilly thank you so much, you're so strong I'm in absolute awe of you.. you're so right ♥️

ChinChilly · 16/09/2021 16:54

@MissM94 I would say just let the excitement happen, I spent the entire time I was pregnant waiting for something bad to happen I didn't allow my self to enjoy it or be excited and it didn't make it any easier when we found out the was no heartbeat but I'd spent the previous 12 weeks anxious about something happening whereas I could of spent it being happy and excited...the outcome wouldn't of been any different but getting over it wouldn't of been either so for now you are pregnant so enjoy it.

MissM94 · 16/09/2021 16:30

@MissC07 thank you! ♥️

@ChinChilly aww bloody hell (no pun intended!!) make sure you have a nice bubble bath to ease the pain and flow haha! It slowly is but I'm so scared of something happening it's taking over me getting excited! I'm annoyed I got symptoms so early and tested haha I've never had a loss and I don't know anyone IRL who has, but cos I've read so much on here I know it's so common so I'm trying not to get too attached because tbh I don't know how I would get over it, if it was to go that way 😩 but it's out of my control isn't it currently, I'll be okay when I hopefully see something on my scan in a couple of weeks haha

ChinChilly · 16/09/2021 15:11

@MissM94 I'm ok thank you apart from having the longest heaviest period to date! Just plodding along until my appointment really...how are you feeling? Has it all sunk in yet?

MissC07 · 16/09/2021 14:04
