After a chilled garden soiree, it's time to shake things up and head to the cocktail club. 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.

Ladies already at the soiree:

@Kay00 I’m so sorry for the spotting. You really do deserve some good news soon.

AF came for me and I have my first X-rays booked in for exactly 14 days from when it started. I’ve been told to use contraception before but to be honest I don’t ovulate cd 14 anyway so wouldn’t be concerned but will make sure just in case to use condoms

Kay00 · 15/06/2021 06:36

@lovebug06 thanks for sharing your story about your friend, it does indeed give me hope!

@tillybabs is this your HyCoSy? Exciting that you are making progress 😁

Still no AF and spotting has dried up a bit. But I had a bit of a temp drop this morning and I did and IC and FRER with FMU and through my blurry morning eyes I'm pretty sure they are both.... BFN.

I'm going to assume yesterday's lines were evaps rather than I had a chemical as I could never tell if there was any colour in the lines.

Happy Tuesday ladies!

Tillybabs · 15/06/2021 08:08

@Kay00 yes the hycosy test. Can't wait for some answers at least.

Have you had yours?

Sorry to hear that, I was really hoping you would have a BFP. It will happen soon

Kay00 · 15/06/2021 08:34

@Tillybabs no, not yet. If AF starts today then I will book mine in too - we can be HyCoSy buddies Grin

Tillybabs · 15/06/2021 08:54

@Kay00 well I'm hoping for your bfp but if not, then it will be nice to share our experience around the same time.

My OH has to give his SA but luckily he can do it at home and take it in within the hour. We are round the corner from the hospital so it's not too bad.

Lovebug06 · 15/06/2021 08:59

@Tillybabs sorry to hear AF arrived, its good your x Ray is soon x
@kay00 sorry to hear that, hope your okay today ♥️

I'm 14dpo. The last couple of cycles I've come on a day later randomly though so I won't think anything if it doesn't arrive today. Stomach is aching. Not cramping though.
I know it won't happen, but I am dreading how I'm going to feel still as I know I'll still feel terrible, but it is what it is. Feel okay about it at the moment.

Have a lovely day all ♥️

Lovebug06 · 15/06/2021 09:01

@Tillybabs I've just read that last update and whaaat! My dh has had to wait to go in, he even asked if he could do that as we aren't far. As we have had trouble with the SA wanted it done quicker this time. I wonder why some allow that and not othersShock

pineapple2021 · 15/06/2021 09:11

@ChinChilly to try and cheer you up..... I was the same from 6 weeks and felt nauseous all day.... I tended to wretch rather than be sick but yeh was only able to eat small amounts and it wasn't great stuff except some fruit..... week 14 I woke up one day and it had totally gone and I'm a new woman so it really will get better!!!

ChinChilly · 15/06/2021 09:18

@pineapple2021 thank you, it's good to know there is a light at the end of the tunnel! I think I've only had one day over the last 2 weeks where I haven't been sick, I've been sick already this morning which has tipped me over the edge and I've requested a call back from my GP, feeling utterly miserable at the moment 😥

Tillybabs · 15/06/2021 09:24

@ChinChilly I hope the sickness passes soon!

@Lovebug06 yea he's really lucky. I prepped him for having to possibly go in and do it at the clinic. He's really pleased he doesn't have to and can have some 'assistance' at home 🙈. Although I imagine if there is any issues with it, they will tell him he has to do it there!

Hi all,

Hopefully I’ve found the right thread again!

Some might remember me from getting my BFP back in October 2020. Unfortunately my son Jack was stillborn on the 3rd April this year at 28+3, his due date was next Wednesday.

I am now in my second cycle since his birth and super keen to conceive this month as also conceived Jack after 2 cycles post pill. This is the first time I will be trying since he was born.

I am of course petrified but found this thread a great support last time… hope this isn’t too distressing to anyone and I can join in again?

Does anyone know how to add a historic pregnancy including loss onto FF? That’s what I used before but obviously deleted all data when I knew his heart had stopped and now I want it back again to be hopefully more accurate! Premom is an app I didn’t use before so also going to try and use that this time to avoid too many triggers.

Obviously there is too much to read through since I came off about December time but hope all the ladies I was speaking too last year are all doing okay? Xx

CharWils · 15/06/2021 18:12

@Juno231 @MintGreenLife @ChinChilly @Kay00 @TheDaydreamBelievers these are a few names I remember talking too off the top of my head. Sorry if have forgotten anyone!

Please see my post below - hope okay to share on here.

How are you all getting on? Xx

Kay00 · 15/06/2021 18:19

Hello @CharWils. Oh you poor woman, you must be utterly heartbroken xx huge hugs from me to you and your OH xxx

I'm not sure how to help with your FF question but will be here to offer help and advice on your new TTC journey xxx

SkeletonSkins · 15/06/2021 18:23

@CharWils I wasn’t here when you were before but I just wanted to say I’m so sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy Jack, what a beautiful name too. I have absolutely everything that you get your BFP quickly xx

TheDaydreamBelievers · 15/06/2021 18:27

Hi @CharWils - I'm still here (MC in November/December 2020). I'm so so fucking sorry for your loss. You are welcome back here, whenever you want to talk about conception or about Jack.

Juno231 · 15/06/2021 18:45

@CharWils oh char that's so cruel - I'm. So terribly sorry you and OH had to go through that. I'll light a candle for your sweet boy Jack tonight and we're all here for you for second round of TTC ❤️

And of course we remember you! I'm still here plodding along, in my TWW of cycle 19. No BFPs for me since you graduated from the thread.

MissM94 · 15/06/2021 20:01

@CharWils we haven't spoke before, I joined November so would of missed you but I'm so incredibly sorry for what happened to you, your husband and sweet Jack ♥️

Lovebug06 · 15/06/2021 20:06

@CharWils I didn't know you before but I just want to send you love and say how utterly sorry I am for your loss of your beautiful little boy. That is absolutely heartbreaking. We are all here for you with this ttc journey, but as someone has said above, also if you wanted to talk about Jack ❤️
I hope you get your BFP soon x

ChinChilly · 15/06/2021 20:56

@Tillybabs thank you, so do i 😩

@CharWils I'm so sorry to hear about little Jack, truly heartbreaking! Sending you and your OH lots of love ❤

CharWils · 15/06/2021 21:18

Thankyou everyone... I was really worried about coming back here as it seems like coming back to square one but I'm glad I have with all of your support ❤️

@Kay00 completely heartbroken, how are you doing?

@SkeletonSkins Thankyou. What is your story?

@TheDaydreamBelievers I'm so sorry to hear you had a MC, how far along were you? Thankyou for welcoming me back 💙

@Juno231 I'm so sorry you haven't had any positives. Have you had any tests etc since we last spoke?

@MissM94 Thankyou so much, what is your TTC story?

@Lovebug06 I won't talk about Jack unless I'm directly asked as I know it can be petrifying for those TTC without any awareness of loss before.
Happy to speak about it to anyone as I love talking about my boy, but please ask me direct so I don't upset anyone.

@ChinChilly Thankyou, did I see that you got your BFP?

Sending lots of love to you all xx

Tillybabs · 15/06/2021 21:28

@CharWils I'm so sorry to hear about Jack. How utterly heartbreaking. I truly hope you get a bfp soon xx

MissM94 · 15/06/2021 21:40

@CharWils so I'm not actively trying (withdrawal) until next month but we equally would be over the moon if it happened sooner! I wasn't supposed to come off the pill until May this year but came off it last November as I got a blood clot 🙃 so was supposed to be TTC as of May but decided to push it to July because of Covid so I joined this group purely just to find out what to expect as I've been on all different contraception's for 11 years so had no idea what to expect! Slipped into a steady cycle of 34 days on average, never went higher than 35 & my periods are short and sweet & have been ovulating but as soon as I hit the 6 month mark it's just stopped 😂 had my last period on the 4th of April, FF thinks I should be on my June period now so I've missed 2 if that's correct.. had all negative pregnancy tests.. my doctor is convinced I'm pregnant, which is annoying haha I'm not convinced.. I think it's PCOS or something like that so I have a blood test on the 28th of June and a scan on the 6th of July! So looking forward to getting them out of the way and seeing what's happening then getting on with DTD and not pulling out 😂😂

Kat668 · 15/06/2021 22:06

@CharWils I wasn't around when you were here, but just wanted to also say I'm so sorry for your loss. Thoughts are with you and your husband x

TheDaydreamBelievers · 15/06/2021 22:21

@CharWils we had a lovely scan at 10wks, fetus died at 11 weeks + something, found out at 12 wk scan (so a MMC). To be honest its been bloody horrendous, so I cannot even fathom how much you must be grieving.

Since then, plodding on. Cycles back to their 70-something day wonders and just feeling totally hopeless about it all, frankly

Kay00 · 15/06/2021 22:27

@charwils I just finished my 10th cycle but I'm a year into TTC. I had 2 x anovulatory cycles in a row and panicked and so referred to ther fertility clinic. I have had some blood tests done which might indicate PCOS, my OH has submitted his sperm sample and I'll be booking in my pelvic scan tomorrow. Xx
