Post Pill Party – The Garden Soiree

[TheHotelCalifornia]

Tables laden with high-end afternoon tea, beautiful bouquets of fresh flowers, and a string quartet playing softly in the background…it’s the Post Pill Party Garden Soiree! The girls have swapped their checked shirts for pastel dresses and it’s time to sit back and relax after a stressful few weeks (months…years!!)

Welcome to the 10th (!) post pill party thread for women who have recently come off the pill. Whether you’re struggling with an insanely long cycle or an insanely short cycle, your luteal phase is crazy short, your temps are all over the place, or you’re just feeling like if you see one more day of a damn flashing smiley you’re going to throw it out the window…we’re here for you. Perch yourself daintily in a chair and join us!

Arriving late at the garden party, clutching 3 bottles of rose. Now I'm off to lie by myself under the hedge and drink my wine x

(Meaningless chart attached for anyone interested)

Haha, I'll join you under the hedge... I have drunk so little in the last 10 months that I get really drunk after 1 x small glass of vino at the moment 😅🥂

@Kay00 Oh yes, I will fall asleep in the sun after 1 glass!

@TheHotelCalifornia your chart is saying Mount Kilimanjaro to me! So clean! Yes I'm clicking into charts like mine on FF before I even know I'm doing it. It's the stats in there that get Me. Give me too much hope. At the moment charts like mine have a 39% pregnancy rate. It's dangerous for getting hopes up. Cause last month I had rises til 12 DPO and it was telling me 55% pregnancy then I got an indent line and well that was great craic. Moral of the story charts like mine = a dangerous addiction.

@MissM94 could you have a word with someone higher up and explain it's awkward working for your MIL but you don't want to offend her abd could they come up with an excuse for switching you?

@Kat668 looks like there's a few of us in the middle of the TWW at the moment. Always good to have company x

brings triangle sarnies and scones thank you for the new thread ❤️❤️

@FlyingGiraffe ahh hey thank you!
So it's the clipper one if that helps? This one https://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/clipper-organic-relaxing-infusion-raspberry-leaf-tea-bags-60092629?skuid=092629&utmcampaign=shopping&utmmmedium=cpc&utmsource=google&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsLWDBhCmARIsAPSL331GRU7P0w-ckpvDOhzqa-qapuHMdlLsmJSNv3lg-NBhxoQcukcPUQaArffEALwwcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

AF is due a week today according to FF but then my cycles have been so random- I've had two at 18 days long, one at 25 days, and two at 33 days 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Acupuncture is once a week- give it a go next cycle! It's certainly been an experience - it's not painful and I usually hate needles.

Ahh yeah I use conceive plus.. although didn't use it much this cycle as I had more CM- I had grapefruit juice and EPO around my ovulation and think that might've helped 😂

My FF chart and my RHR have got me like 👀 this morning! I’m trying not to get excited though because all my charts have trolled me like this before!

@ChinChilly this is just so exciting. Both look great. Have you had any symptoms/feelings?

@TheHotelCalifornia not really, I’ve had a few waves of nausea but I think that’s because it’s all making me abit nervous & my nipples have been tingling and achy but that is a normal pre AF symptom for me.

@ChinChilly yeah I can totally see how it would make you feel like that! It’s so stressful haha! Are you still thinking test tomorrow?

My temp went down this morning which I expected as it was very high. I was woken in the night though by THE MOST painful sudden needle cramp on my left side. Has anyone else had this? It was so painful and really sudden and I remember it. No idea what’s going on there 😩

Morning ladies! @ChinChilly @TheHotelCalifornia eek, hopefully both really promising signs!

@TheHotelCalifornia I’m sitting on my hands at the moment, I haven’t even had FMU yet 😬 I logged onto my laptop early and fell into a black hole of work 😂 your chart still look fab!

@Emmgrem Thank you! Ah that's so annoying when you don't know when AF is actually due...oh to have a regular cycle eh?! Although saying that mine are fairly regular apart from the luteal phase is short and ends whenever it fancies! It's definitely not a TWW for me...more like a one week wait!

@ChinChilly You are leaving us in suspense! Chart is looking really good!

@TheHotelCalifornia Like @Kay00 said - that sounds promising! Fingers crossed!

Not much news here. CD4 and my chart is looking like the Rockies. I've been waking up at different times each day but hopefully it'll settle - otherwise I may just give in and convert them all to the same time!

@ChinChilly your chart is looking good! How you haven't POAS yet I don't know! Fingers crossed for when you do!

@TheHotelCalifornia keeping everything crossed for you too!

@Emmgrem I might give acupuncture a try next cycle as I've heard good things. I had it once when I had sciatica and it was the only thing thing that got rid of it. I actually found it so relaxing!!

Anybody else excited about hairdressers and beauty salons opening on Monday?! I'm hoping it'll cheer me up and make me feel better. Although the earliest they could fit me in for my hair colour was 8th May 🙈

@ChinChilly I’m just sat reading these hoping for the best for you all and omg your chart...... please test!! It’s way better than mine when I got my BFP! Crossing my fingers for you!

@Ttcin2021 I think I’m just feeling nervous about seeing a BFN!

@MissC07 OMG so excited for the hairdressers! My hair is so long I closed it in a draw as inshit it the other day and not just caught the ends about half of my pony tail was stuck in the draw! It hasn’t been coloured for 3 years either so I’m hopeing to walk out like a new woman 😂

@FlyingGiraffe you could try converting them and see it it makes more of a clearer pattern

@ChinChilly how many DPO are you today? Yeah the BFN fear is horrid but your rhr and temps don't show any signs that would happen. Are you still holding your fmu?!

Also it's still me (@Ttcin2021 ) just have a new login!

@pineapple2021 love the new name!

@ChinChilly finally got the app to join all the November mums to be (which by the way I do not recommend it's done nothing but make me stress and stress.... I'm literally a mess). Also have an obsession with pineapple decor!

Guys, there is a line and it is pink irl....BUT if I’m 13dpo I would expect it to be darker... the fear of history repeating its self is high right now 🥴

@ChinChilly eek! Tentative congrats 🎉 I totally get why you’re worrying after two chemicals but also the amount of threads I read where the test didn’t get darker for quite a while! It could be later implantation. And considering you did that test two days ago didn’t you, the test has gotten darker since then. Got everything crossed for you 🤞🏻 I wonder can you ring the gp or early pregnancy unit and explain the situation and your past chemicals? Would they give you a blood test or anything?

@TheHotelCalifornia thank you! They haven’t given us any advice. We were just told to repeat the test so we’ll see what happens after that. I presume we’ll just get referred to the fertility specialist which will take a few months. It’s all such a long process isn’t it. Your chart looks amazing! You’re definitely still in with a shot. What symptoms did you have when you got pregnant the first time if you don’t mind me asking? Did you have symptoms by this point then? Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻❤️

@ChinChilly ahhh that is def a line!! I googled tests for my DPO and there is such variation and like someone has already said could be later implantation. Keeping fingers tightly crossed!

@Cams50 @pineapple2021 now I’m wondering it it’s an indent 🤔 GAHHH just going to have to see what happens over the next few days! Who ever said this TTC malarkey is fun is a liar! My GP has bloods fully booked for weeks in advance 🙄 I’m just going to have to sit on my hands...I only have one FRER left after last month POAS spree so I’m going to leave it until Saturday 🤞🏼

@ChinChilly I definitely see a line and I don't think it is an indent. I really hope this is it for you but completely understand why you would be nervous! 🤞

@TheHotelCalifornia those temperatures have gone really high! Great looking chart!

Slight temp drop today, though it is the exact same temp I got at 13dpo last cycle so not that excited yet. I would usually have start spotting by this point though. I will see what happens with my temps tomorrow and then think about testing.
