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!

@Kay00 seriously what is wrong with men 😅 normally I give my OH the death glare and it works but they really do say some stupid stuff. It only really bothered OH when I told him he had to do an SA and he's managed to get out of doing that now!

Keep your chin up lovely, some days are harder than others but it will happen.

Yup. Hopefully @TheDaydreamBelievers something cheap and effective might help you... maybe some clomid to kick-start ovulation?

@Kay00 sending you a massive virtual hug ❤️ I think guys can just be really crappy at knowing what to say, and then they make it 10x worse!

So just got a call to say I didn't get that job I applied for. So currently sat scoffing a whole box of milk tray and feeling like crap and confused about life. Also, it's one of my closest friends sons birthday's this weekend and I always get them gifts and babysit etc, and I asked if she was doing anything for it and she said 'oh just having a party with mutual friends with kids.....' so basically I'm not invited because I don't have a child and she knows I'm trying!!!!

I just noticed we've only got about 30 more messages left on this group, shall I set up a new one? Unless someone else wants too? Might as-well do something productive with my time this afternoon instead of gorging on chocolate and crying.

@missc07 Oh no! Sorry you didn't get the job. Clearly they don't know what they're missing ! Enjoy the chocolate... wish I could eat some right now haha... my Greek yogurt isn't quite cutting it Thank you for your message xx

Yes, please go-ahead and organise the next party I look forward to my invite!

@TheDaydreamBelievers your friend sounds lovely.
@Kay00 hope your feeling a bit better this evening. Sometimes a good cry helps.
@missc07 sorry about the job!
I understand on the friend front. I was the only one left out last week whilst friends did a trip out. I could have joined for the catch up but as I'm babyless I'm not seen as part of it. Hard as they know I'm ttc. Crap ain't it!

New thread here ladies.... .www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/4244948-Post-Pill-Party-Cocktail-Club?watched=1

@ChinChilly sorry just seen your message from earlier. 12 weeks 3 days today! Had a scan Tuesday which was lovely!

@pineapple2021 wow that has gone so quickly!

Thinking of you all today everyone.

@ChinChilly not for me haha.... slowest time ever. Thought I'd relax now and that is not the case.

@pineapple2021 12 weeks - wow! Will you be finding out the sex do you think? Have you done a wider announcement?

@TheDaydreamBelievers my fertility referral was via the nhs. I got an appointment on Friday which was quite quick.

I will let you all know how it goes.

@Kay00 I’ve had some wobbles lately. Even with seeing celebs getting pregnant. There has been a baby boom the last year and I’ve found it a bit upsetting at times so I totally understand.

Can I please ask about sperm samples. How does it work? Will the OH be required to give one at the clinic or can it be done at home?

Also today I discovered that BPAS fertility are going to be running a bit for profit fertility service from autumn this year. If indeed anyone needs this, it may be worth registering your interest with them. I have.

@Juno231 I know..... I'm getting fat now haha. Little bump! I had a scan Tuesday that was for a NIPT test I decided to have and so glad I did as it was such a cool scan, got 4D video and everything. Got my nhs one Monday then hopefully will feel reassured.
So a friend is gonna take the gender envelope and we're gonna find out with smoke bombs at our wedding in august!! I've told all friends etc after scan Tuesday..... so nice to not be hiding it. I just keep checking on here though, especially for some of you who have been waiting a fair while..... it will happen!!

@pineapple2021 ah that's such an amazing way to find out! My friends did it at their wedding too - but it was the inside of their wedding cake which was coloured blue so made the cake cutting extra special 😍

@Tillybabs oh good luck for Friday! As for SA samples - it completely depends on the clinic I think! During lockdown I think they all had you do it at home but now more and more are letting you do it on site. Would your OH have a preference?

Don't forget about the new thread ladies
