Let's get into the spirit(s) - it's a whiskey business TTC so if you're feeling pretty fly grab a Mai Tai and have yourself some Sex on the Beach. Fingers crossed we get some BFP's and keep the Bloody Mary's away. Let the celebrations be-Gin!! Time flys when your having Rum!

Welcome to the 11th (!) post pill party thread for women who have recently come off the pill. Where we can all come and discuss the highs and lows of TTC.

Please tag anyone I’ve missed!

@Lovebug06 get well soon!

I've got a bit of cramping today and clear liquid CM. Perhaps AF or perhaps ovulation attempt? I'd take either on CD38!

@whirlingd fingers crossed it's one or the other!

@moocher90 although bear in mind a later ovulation would mean a longer cycle - the LP doesn't shorten off the back of a late OD, it should remain fairly static. So with my CD12 ovulation I'll have a 24 day cycle but when I ovulate on CD17 my cycle is 29 days :)

@kay00 how many dpo are you today?

@Juno231 i'm 11DPO today. Temp is fairly static, although a minor reduction (from 36.36 to 36.34). I expect it to come down a little further tomorrow and AF to start on Sunday or Monday.

@Juno231 hope you managed to dtd last night! Do you usually ovulate the day after the peak?

@Kay00 I thought it was the start of AF but it's gone completely now, not had any today. I'll keep an eye over the next few days, I'm expecting AF any time really.

@Lovebug06 oh no, hope you are OK! Make sure you get plenty of rest

@Lovebug06 appendectomy?? was it planned or emergency?

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow any chance it's a bfp lurking instead? I most often ovulate the same day as my peak but my last cycle it was 2 days after and I haven't had a temp shift today so I'm still in with a chance to BD.

@Kay00 I'm still hoping the witch will stay away

@Juno231 Did you manage to DTD yesterday too? Defo get in there today if you can!

Yes, i'm hoping AF doesn't show too, it just seems so unlikely...!

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow hmm, could be a spot of implantation bleeding... I really hope it is, maybe test in a couple of days time if AF hasn't shown by then!

Hope you have all had a good week! @WhirlingD and @Sunshinedaisybuttermellow any further signs of anything? Hope you managed to catch up @Juno231 😂 Really hoping AF doesn’t appear @Kay00, do you have any plans to test or will you wait to see what happens with AF?

I’m CD 4 and AF is just finishing up, shorter than my normal period so I do have to wonder if the Conceive Plus is doing something. It has to be the reason I came on my period as it was literally two days later. Hoping this means I might have a shorter cycle.

Just had a clear out of my wardrobe and couldn’t help but think ‘this dress would cover a bump nicely’, and then catch myself and almost tell myself off, as if daydreaming about it makes it less likely.

@skeletonskins haha! I have wondered if that's where I'm going wrong 😆😆😆 like I'm jinxing myself by thinking about it every day!? Maybe the ladies on here who got pregnant managed to ignore TTC for a day or two and then BAMB! Pregnant. 🤣

Other than pretty bad nausea yesterday and today (trying to not think about it!) nothing at all.
No cramps, no more bleeding, nothing. I usually have pretty bad cramps a day or 2 before AF starts.
If I have a 28 day cycle which is what I had before going on the pill and when i stopped the pill when trying for dd I'm due on Sunday.
I bought some pregnancy tests today, but only had tesco nearby and they are 25miu ones so not sure how sensitive. I really think it's unlikely because we only managed o and o-6 due to my husband being ill (assuming i ovulated based on cm and a positive opk because I haven't temped).
I'm really really trying not to get my hopes up but you guys know what it's like. I don't think it helps that we were waiting to ttc for almost a year before starting so it feels like a really long time.

@SkeletonSkins I do the same with my wardrobe! Been looking through all my work outfits like hmm this would disguise it for a while.

@Juno231 will today be ovulation for you most likely? Hope you managed to DTD again this morning 🤞🤞🤞

@Kay00 when are you due on? Will you test or wait for AF to be late?

@sunshinedaisybuttermellow AF is due Sun or Mon. I sometimes get spotting a couple of days before hand, but nothing yet... assume another win for the Conceive Plus?

If I'm late it could be due the the Pfizer vaccine I had last week, so I'll probably test tomorrow. Also, I'm due to walk 50k on Sunday so I'd like to know beforehand if I should be extra careful 😅 🚶‍♀️

Hmm... not sure it's worth me testing. Temp came down again today and had a little bit of pink tinged cm. Pretty confident AF is on her way.

Chart fyi

@Lovebug06 I hope you're OK!!

@Kay00 I'm sorry it seems AF is coming :(

I got my static smiley after 4 days of flashing, typically its happened when I have a friend staying and our bed is supper noisy :/ tried to squeeze DTD in this morning while she was asleep next door and DH couldn't perform :( really upset. He let's the stress of knowing it's peal day get to him after swearing he wouldn't be affected by it (I kept telling him it's normal with the pressure but he was adamant it wouldn't! Stubborn bugger) we did it on all 4 flashing days so I'm really hoping that's enough, but we did it every other day last cycle and no luck, so can't help thinking its a no go again 😞

Peak day obviously, not peal lol

Sorry about potential AF @Kay00 :( keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Oh bless your OH @Kat668, it sounds like you’ve got it covered though with all those other times. Maybe later he’ll be able to have another go?

@kat668 sounds like you are covered. I'm sure I read that O-2 is the most successful day for DTD, so don't kick yourselves! Xx

I just worked out that if my AF starts in next couple of days then my next FW could be when my mum is staying for a long weekend 😪🙃 let's hope these Conceive Plus don't work quite as efficiently next time 😆

@kay00 that tiny dip means nothing I'd say! Even bfp charts get dips like that too. I'm hopeful for you 🤞

@Kat668 don't beat yourself up, you sound super covered! Saying that, I had a right strop yday cause OH wasn't in the mood for BD on flipping ovulation day 😒 - so we only managed O-1 this cycle!

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow had a big temp rise today so seems like I ovulated yday!

AF appeared at 2am. No cramps or anything which is very odd for me. But it does mean a 27 day cycle, with AF 14dpo which I think is really good. We also didn't cover it well so I'm not surprised or upset.

Hope it isn't AF for you @Kay00. Hopefully if it is then FW is slightly later next time so you can cover it well.

@Kat668 all 4 flashing days is really good, fingers crossed its enough.

@Juno231 yay for ovulation! Just the very long wait now haha.

@sunshinedaisybuttermellow im sorry AF arrived for you 😔

I have still had nothing more than some pink tinged CM (no cramps) but I took an internet cheapy just now and it was BFN. so I assume I'll be joining you on CD1 tomorrow or Monday at the latest. Meh!

Thank you guys, we actually did manage to try again in the late evening after my friend had gone down for the night. Hopefully she didn't hear anything 😂 so yeah hopefully this will be successful!

@Kay00 it certainly makes it tricky having people round 😂 hopefully it'll be just after this time so you can get good coverage!

@Juno231 it is hard to not get annoyed at them isn't it ha ha! Still it only takes one lucky swimmer so fingers crossed for you!

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow sorry she reared her ugly head :(

Thanks everyone for your kind messages. I'm sore but okay. 12dpo and tbh my mind has been elsewhere this week as you can probably imagine, which has been great on the baby front as I haven't thought about it really this week!
Found out another friend is pregnant last night though and now I just feel 😢
Hottest day of the year, I'm still sore and hobbling about so can't do much so my mind is now on this.
Other friend pregnant also said she didn't even want to be pregnant. Hadn't been sure what to do. Fair enough, but not what I wanna hear right now.
Another friend trying for 6 months and telling me how terrible it is for her. I understand obviously, but I'm a year after that and she seems to think I don't get it
Nothing to take my mind off it really as I'm stuck at home.
So now to get through the next couple of days when AF will obviously come!
But hey ho, invited my friend down in a couple of weeks to go out on the cocktails, so I'll try think of that (obviously wouldn't if I was pregnant, but it's very unlikely!)
At least it's only a couple of days to wait as well 😊

This isn't meant to be negative, just a little update. I was very cheerful until last night 🤣 I feel a right cow feeling down by a friends pregnancy but I'm sure you all get it.

Hope your all okay, sorry I'm a bit behind, it's been a crazy week x

@Kat668 haha! Love the sneaky night time sex 😆

@lovebug06 I totally get it. My friends who all started trying around the time I started (some started earlier in all fairness) now have little babies.

I'm super proud of myself today. I completed a 27 mile (or 44k) walk! It took 9 hours, was about 57,000 steps and burned about 2000 calories. My feet and ankles hurt a lot! And it was about 26 degrees today, so I'll probably have burnt despite the lashings and lashings of suncream!

Still no sign of AF (13dpo) but tested again on IC after a 5 hour hold and BFN.

@Lovebug06 I really hope your recovery goes quickly and you feel back to full health soon! It's so hard when people who don't want it get pregnant without trying while we're doing everything we can do I totally understand that x

@Kay00 ooh ouch! Hope your DP is.giving you lots of lovely footrubs! Well done on doing it!

@kay00 ooh that's amazing! Surely it was way more calories than that though? what food did you have at the end of it?

3DPO today and FF has given me tentative crosshairs as it doesn't like that I've ovulated a few days earlier than usual!

Oh I removed my cervix stat from O-1 and it made the crosshairs go solid
