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!

Please tag anyone I’ve missed!

@Flowers222 I fell into a black hole of photo editting now 😂😂 your temps still look good.

It looks clearer in black & white...eurgh hate the wait and see...my parents never taught me patience clearly 😂

@ChinChilly I can see that line!

@Cams50 unfortunately my experience is that GPs wont do bloods related to pregnancy and the EPU wont see you until after 7wks pregnant

@ChinChilly fingers crossed this is a sticky bean!! tentative congrats in the meantime

Soooo I think I’m going to take it as an indent..it has now disappeared off the piss stick and the other unused FRER has a very visable grey line. It definitely looked pink when it first came up but it seems to have dissolved 😂

@ChinChilly I’ve never had an indent line in my year of ttc so I still think it’s something!

@MissC07 yes I’m so excited for hairdressers to reopen! My roots are taking on a life of their own. I’ve one booked for Saturday week 😃

@ChinChilly I see something there so a tentative woohoo. But, and sorry to be a downer, I got stung so bad by two indent lines last month so will just continue keeping everything crossed for you for your next test!

@Flowers222 fingers crossed for you for tomorrow.

@TheHotelCalifornia here's hoping it's a sign of something positive..... love a good pun 🥰

No news here, just looking at the waves....

@Gracie2021 @Cams50 the IC was stark white so that’s why I’m thinking its a indent, I’ve seen a couple of women here on here mentioning indents on FRERs recently, maybe there’s just a bad batch going round.

@ChinChilly omg how cruel!! I'm really sorry the tests have messed with you like that :(

@Juno231 I was pretty shocked when I checked the unused FRER and there was an obvious grey indent line! I’m ok about it to be honest, I would of been extremely lucky to catch again straight away! Just waiting tor AF to turn up! On the plus side this is the longest LP I’ve had.

So the GP said when my next period starts to call in for 21 day bloods shall I just book them for about CD25 seen as I know I don’t ovulate until CD18 or just book them in for CD21 and explain after? I’ve only ever ovulated once at CD14 🙄

@ChinChilly yeah cd25 sound reasonable. My GPs were pretty flexible so from memory the cycle I had my test was the latest I've ever ovulated (typical!) so moved it twice based on BBT. Others are a pain to get an appointment with though. My GP did say from the start to go off my BBT as I'll know best when to take the CD21 test - I was surprised at that! Totally expected her to hardcore insist on cd21 and tell me bbt was worth bugger all.

@ChinChilly tentative: eeekkk!!! I think waiting until Sunday is a good idea and you should make plans to relax and enjoy your Friday and Saturday in the mean time xx

@pineapple2021 Love the name... and the pineapple decor haha! Sorry you're feeling stressed though? Perhaps take a step away from the November mums group for a little while?

@Juno231 I didn’t even ask my GP to be honest I was on the verge of tears and just wanted to get off the phone lol, My doctors is a nightmare for blood tests its always fully booked for weeks in advance, I was about CD14 when I spoke to her and she said there was no availability for a few weeks! So I’ll have to make sure I time it well I may just book in for CD25 and hope for the best

@Kay00 I think it’s a false alarm so I won’t be in a rush to test again 😂 @pineapple2021 I agree maybe just take a step back from the November group x

@ChinChilly that is really cruel! So bad to get your hopes up like that, I'm sorry. I'd say cd25 should hopefully be ok for 21 days tests. Hopefully they can be a little flexible though if needed!

@Flowers222 I am actually strangely ok about it, I think because the ICs have been 100% negative I kind of didn’t believe it when it popped up anyway.

I’ve had a chat with my friend and I’m going to have a month off tracking, no OPKS no BBT! OH will be more than happy to commit to BD every other day anyway 😂 Gonna try plan some stuff to do to keep my mind off it. I don’t think doing all those things are particularly stressing me out but I feel like I’m over it all now 😂

@chinchilly looks like a missed a load of messages before I posted mine xx sorry its looking like an indent xx definitely test if AF doesn't turn up by Sunday/Monday just in case xx

@Kay00 yeah, I’ll see what happens over the weekend but I’m taking it as a dodgy test for now...I don’t feel like AF is coming but my body likes to play tricks on me.

@Gracie2021 her and the higher up boss are really pally he would tell her 😩 trust me I've thought of all different ways it's just not going to happen so I have to just get my head down and not give her a reason to talk to me hahaha

@Juno231 isn't she just! I think even if she was aware she wouldn't be arsed, she is such a cold person I don't understand it 😂 I'm fuming on a regular basis hahaha

@ChinChilly I've got everything crossed for you! You deserve this.. sending looooooooads of shit your way to make that piss stick two big fat lines 😂

Thanks @MissM94 but the pre AF spotting started this afternoon so she’s definitely poking her head around the door...that bitch 😂

@ChinChilly oh goddddd what a cow! Keeping positive that it's just early plantation or something haha🤞🏽🤞🏽

@ChinChilly sorry you have started spotting and it looks like af might be on her way! A break from all the tracking might be a good idea.

My willpower broke and I tested this afternoon, BFN so I am sure af will be coming for me tomorrow. Though I have always started spotting by this point so I am starting to question whether OvuSense is right and I am actually 11dpo 🤷🏻‍♀️

So, my news from today is good - I do not have APS, my thyroid, folic, B12, iron all completely normal. So on one hand a bit anxiety provoking as means later MC is completely unexplained. But on another hand means can just go ahead and try.

Have had some odd pink stained mucus today, not sure why

@TheDaydreamBelievers yippee!! that's good news! Hopefully your later stage MC is a one off event, i'm so sorry you had to go through that xx What time are you in your cycle? Could you be around ovulation??

@Flowers222 Damn!! Hopefully you're not 11DPO the, do you have chart you can share?

I'm 6DPO... no news to report here!
