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!

Chart for fun!

@Kay00 CD27 and blank OPKs so I don't think so!

@TheDaydreamBelievers excellent news! So glad everything came back clear.

@Kay00 your chart is still going strong! I have attached my FF chart and OvuSense. I think it is just wishful thinking that I am 11dpo and not out yet.

I just made the mistake of going back and looking at the test. There is now a really faint line, too faint really to show up in photos 😩 going to assume it is an evap though

@flowers222 aah i didnt wanna but I totally saw a line! fingers crossed it progresses nicely?

@MissM94 this is always how AF starts for me so she’s definitely turned up uninvited!

@TheDaydreamBelievers that’s great news about your results but I get why it is equally frustrating for those reason.

@Flowers222 I definitely see it, does it have colour or is it grey? I’ve had a few evaps and they all tend to be grey rather than pink!

Just been and brought some plants for our mini garden reno...so that’s cheered me up!

Thanks @Juno231 @ChinChilly I am now that crazy lady taking the test apart to see it it's clearer 🙈 the edges look pink but it's really too faint to tell if it has colour. I'm not sure I can trust myself as I want to see pink so much! I only have one FRER left so if af doesn't arrive I will try to hold out until the weekend to test again (who am I kidding)

@Flowers222 I see it.... here's hoping it's not an evap 🤞🤞🤞

@ChinChilly so sorry AF is making her appearance.

@TheDaydreamBelievers great news and so glad for ye that you're not in limbo waiting anymore.

@ChinChilly I'm so sorry to see what's happened today. Are you sure it's no hint of pink and not possibly another CP? I guess you might be able to tell depending on whether AF arrives late. Do you usually have heavier AF's after your other CPs? As that's what happened to me

@Flowers222 I see it!! The edges look sooo pink. I don't think evaps are as much of a thing as people make out- false positives are very rare. Keeping everything crossed for tomorrow's test!

@Kay00 @Gracie2021 @TheHotelCalifornia omg your charts all look so so good 🤞🤞🤞 this is very exciting

Here's my chart today at 8dpo. Trying not to get my hopes up that it's so similar to the chart when I had my chemical pregnancy (scroll to see the comparison). Think I'll test at 11DPO onwards as on 10DPO (Saturday) it's my sister in law's gender reveal party so could do without a bfn that day 🙈

@Flowers222 it’s defoo pink at the edges, I’ll pop my one with an indent on it and see how it looks inside, might bring some clarity on yours either way!

@Emmgrem I mean it’s possible my body is twat recently, if I ovulated on CD20 instead of CD18 then that makes the spotting before AF bang on time! It’s always abit of a guessing game i suppose

@Emmgrem sorry didn’t answer your question about AF, my first one was horrendous, but the one last month wasn’t as bad I had one day that was really heavy and really painful but the rest of the time it was pretty light so they were both really different

@ChinChilly sorry it seems AF might be here 😔 I was really hopeful for you!

@Flowers222 I hope things become clearer for you. I can definitely see the line, but can see why you're cautious.

@Emmgrem I think it's a good idea to wait! Your chart is looking good though!🤞 it is weirdly similar to your older chart 🤔 mine are usually different every month!

I altered my bbt to the same time and it looks a lot clearer from the rocky mountains I had earlier! CD4 and hoping that AF pisses off tomorrow! 👋👋

Thanks everyone! I am really not feeling hopeful though. It is definitely too light if I am 13dpo, which would make me think it could be a chemical if it's not an evap. As always, will just have to wait and see 🙃

@ChinChilly would be interesting to see if your evaps have pink edges.

@Emmgrem great temp rise today! 🤞

Hey, can I join??

Came off the pill 10 days ago.
Still no sign of AF, was taking desogestrol roughly for 6 months.

I was diagnosed with PCOS about 5 years ago. Had all my quota of clomid around the same time without any luck with my ExH (truly gutted about this now).

We split 18 months ago and been divorced for 6.

I'm 35 and my body clock is screaming loudly.

New partner wants children and why wait!

Any advice would be greatly welcome and appreciated xx any ideas on how to bring AF on also would be great!!!

@Flowers222 no pink edges here!!

@FlyingGiraffe thank you, I’m about to wash some trashy TV in the bath with a magnum 😂

I could really do with lock down pissing off now I need to get out to take my mind of TTC and all the shit that comes with it!

@Kat668 @Gracie2021 I’m also in the TWW, currently 7dpo.

I hate this time because any little thing g I find myself wondering if it’s something. For instance I’m getting twinges right in the lower abdomen so I’m thinking is it implantation. And then the disappointment will come next week grrrr

@ChinChilly I hope it’s not an indent! I could see a line in the black and white pic. All my fingers are crossed for you xx

@ChinChilly sorry I’ve just seen your most recent posts. Sorry if AF is on the way

@Tillybabs ahh it’s ok, I’m ok with whatever will be! Had a chat with OH tonight and I’m going to stop focusing on TTC and focus on my health to distract myself.

Has anybody been following the story of Ashley Cain’s daughter, the update tonight was heartbreaking, really put things into perspective 😞

@mrshinch Welcome!! Congrats on the new relationship, hopefully you'll be successful in your new attempts x I'm 35 too, so totally get what you're saying about the old body clock ⏰😉

@chinchilly I'm not familiar with Ashley Cain, but how horrible for him and his family, that poor little baby x

@ChinChilly yes I’ve been following their story and was in tears earlier watching his video message.

Life can be so cruel! She’s such a beautiful happy baby

@Kay00 @Tillybabs it is just awful sad, my heart just broke watching it last night...there really can’t be anything worse than that as a parent

Morning ladies! FF moved my Ov day from CD26 to CD27, I know it doesn't really matter, but wondered when you thought it might have happened 🤷‍♀️

Chart

@Kay00 hmm is it do with EWCM after ovulation? But I don’t know why it would only have changed it today?

@Flowers222 keeping everything crossed!

@MrsHInch welcome! I got my withdrawal bleed 3 weeks after stopping but everyone’s different. Hope it happens for you soon.

@MrsHInch sorry, I missed your message! My period/withdrawal bleed came about 4 weeks after I stopped the pill, they’ve been regular since but no luck yet! I think it’s just abit of a really irritating waiting game!
