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.

@TheHotelCalifornia omg so so so thrilled for you. Massive congrats!

@MissC07 amazing intro. Thanks for the invite x

@Lovebug06 sorry you’re having such a rough time of it this month. Fingers crossed for you and hope you have a nice relaxing weekend planned.

Kay00 · 15/05/2021 16:25

@lovebug06 thanks for asking xx I'm OK today. I'm not allowed to eat anything until after my colonoscopy tomorrow, so I'm starving and finding ways to distract myself lol.

For what it's worth I don't think all women get increased CM or implantation bleeding to indicate a successful pregnancy, and if they do then I imagine 9dpo is very early. I have my fingers crossed for you.

Lovebug06 · 15/05/2021 16:45

@Gracie2021 thankyou! I'm not such a moaner in real life 😂 I just have to let it out on here as nobody else in real life understands. I have my sdcs tonight as dh is going to watch the football. Told him to go enjoy himself. Hope you also have a lovely weekend
@Kay00 oh god I'd hate that. The more your not allowed to eat the more you think about it! Hope tommorow goes okay.
I know implantation bleeding doesn't always happen but I had thought most people got more CM, I did look it up a bit ago and it also informed me otherwise too x

Flowers222 · 15/05/2021 17:34

@TheHotelCalifornia eeek! I am so pleased for you! Massive congratulations 🥳 xx

firsttimemummy321 · 15/05/2021 18:05

@TheHotelCalifornia congratulations!!!!

@Kay00 thank you 🤞🏻 also your chart is looking great!!!

@TheDaydreamBelievers 🤞🏻 this is it!

I know this isn't positive but this is strong for me for cd 6
Had another early loss positive last Saturday then started bleeding on Sunday. Super faint line on one step but don't really trust them so assuming evap or maybe some leftover hcg (even though original positive was only faint as was quite early)
No idea what's going on!

@TheHotelCalifornia congratulations xx

Kay00 · 15/05/2021 20:52

@firsttimemummy321 hmm... that is indeed quite strong for CD6, and I can see a faint line on the hcg too. I'm not sure what it all means though, are you sure you're not pregnant? How long was your bleed?

Tillybabs · 15/05/2021 22:06

@TheHotelCalifornia congratulations! Amazing news

@juno231 I think his preference would be at home for the SA but whatever they ask he will do it.

I posted on the old thread by mistake but I saw something online about BPFA fertility starting a not for profit fertility service in Autumn this year. If anyone might need it I thought I would let you know.

AF is here for me at the moment. I have my first fertility appointment on Friday and hope to get some answers soon.

TheDaydreamBelievers · 15/05/2021 22:42

Congratulations @TheHotelCalifornia! So pleased for you, but understand the anxiety

ChinChilly · 16/05/2021 07:40

@Kay00 hope today goes aswell as it can!

I did a digital this morning it came up 2-3 was secretly hoping for 3+ seen as according to my apps I'm somewhere between 5+1/3 guess I'll try again in a few days

Hope everyone is well.

firsttimemummy321 · 16/05/2021 07:50

@Kay00 good luck today! I have no idea either, just wish it was properly negative so I can move on. I'm sure it can't be leftover as slightly darker today (wondfo was negative yesterday but faint line today - I am talking super faint but normally they are blank)the bleed was 4 days when I'm normally only 2 and had a day of white heavy and a few small clots again not normal for me so assumed another early loss. But to be squinter a this long after the first something isn't right if they are real positives 😩

@Tillybabs hopefully you get some answers soon 🤞🏻

@ChinChilly I know what you mean wanting it to progress like that but they are just guideline thresholds excited to hear you've got it in a few days 😍

feliznavidad2 · 16/05/2021 07:56

Good luck today @Kay00

ChinChilly · 16/05/2021 08:10

@firsttimemummy321 yeah it is really difficult not to be anxious about progression when you've had an early loss, I haven't done that many tests to try and stop myself worrying but it's reallt difficult, I saw somewhere the HCG threshold for 3+ is actually really high so we'll see what happens over the next few days, doesn't help i don't actually know when I ovulated so not sure of my DPO. Have you spoken to the GP about your losses?

firsttimemummy321 · 16/05/2021 08:29

@ChinChilly it really is there's no easy way to deal with the anxiety of it just what works for you 🥰 yeah it is my levels with my first we're doubling I less than 24 hours (very high) and I didn't get the 3+ til 5.5 weeks
Yeah I've been referred to the recurrent miscarriage clinic but no idea how long the wait is

Juno231 · 16/05/2021 08:39

@MissC07 what an amazing intro - thank you! I'm a Negroni girl so that's what I'll be sipping on during this party 😅

@TheHotelCalifornia congratulations!!! What amazing news! Makes me wonder if an after party thread was ever set up for our BFP ladies?

@Tillybabs hopefully they could just accommodate his wish of doing it at home even if they originally ask for it to be done at the clinic? Only thing is that the sample deteriorates v quickly so doing at the clinic ensures it's super fresh for analysis...

@Moocher90 for our SAs the GP or consultant sent a referral and the following week we got a letter from the relevant clinic asking us to go online and book an appointment with them. For one clinic that wait was 3 months and for the other it was the very next week so there's no predicting it.

@Kay00 best of luck with your colonoscopy! Did you make up with OH? Mine can be dumb like that as well - he cannot understand why pregnancy announcements upset me and has made comments in the past about how me being bitter about it probably isn't helping me get pregnant 😬. That's when I tell him I'll C U Next Tuesday!

CD12 here, got ewcm and opks are getting stronger. Jumped on OH this morning and Friday morning so got every other day covered so far 👌

Cams50 · 16/05/2021 09:07

@Kay00 good luck today!

@firsttimemummy321 that’s so confusing. Sorry this has happened. Hope you get an appointment quickly x

@Juno231 sounds like a great start to fertile week!

@ChinChilly 2-3 weeks must be great to see on a digital! And yeah I’ve heard you have to be quite far along to get the 3+

@Tillybabs good luck for your appointment!

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 16/05/2021 09:36

Massive congratulations @TheHotelCalifornia hope everything goes well 🤞

CaptainGT · 16/05/2021 09:39

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow - turn this stupid fat rat yellow? :)

your story sounds super similar to mine. came off before a full packet cycle ended up being 34 days wait. Hope yours behaves for you!

I'm holding hope for a positive test on my birthday (if I dont get AF next week.)

cant help symptom spotting and have very sore nipples this morning.

Kay00 · 16/05/2021 10:13

Thanks ladies, im in the waiting area in the hospital. I'm dreaming of eating food... anything would do! I haven't eaten since 8am yesterday 😥

The worst thing is I have just started getting period cramps... I hope it doesn't start mid colonoscopy 😳😳😳😆

AllyCat31 · 16/05/2021 10:14

That’s me out for the count this cycle. I think I’ll next ovulate in bloody June based on my super long cycles. So annoyed but on we go. Hope everyone else has some luck. We need more BFP to keep us all going ❤️

Tillybabs · 16/05/2021 10:21

@Juno231 he will do it at the clinic if he needs to. I just know his preference would be at home lol.

Good luck @Kay00

minipilling · 16/05/2021 10:40

Hi everyone! Exciting update - not - my period arrived and it's been hellish. Nausea so bad I actually took a pregnancy test before the bleeding got heavy! And panic attacks all over the place. I feel so awful i don't know if I'm cut out for pregnancy if it happens. I probably sound weak but my endometriosis has plagued me so long and I'm tired of the pain.

Assuming i want to try again this cycle though - my first vaccine is booked for Friday. My fertile days could begin on say, Tuesday or Wednesday. It's still OK to have the vaccine, right? Being that a successful implantation won't have happened by that time? If i was pregnant now, i would wait for the second trimester to be vaccinated, but given that I'm not...

I am concerned about the vaccine buggering up my cycle but i really want to get the process started tbh.

MissC07 · 16/05/2021 10:48

@Kay00 good luck for today! Just think of all the crisps you can eat afterwards!!!

@Tillybabs Hope your appointment goes ok on Friday

@ChinChilly Your digital sounds good! Hopefully you get the 3+ over the next week. 🤞

@AllyCat31 Sorry to hear AF got you. Hopefully your cycles will reduce over time. Mine have been a bit all over the place over the last 6 months

@minipilling I'd say it's still ok to get the vaccine. It's probably better to get it done really early before having to worry about waiting.

CD13 for me and acupuncture again tomorrow! Hope everyone is having a good weekend x

TheDaydreamBelievers · 16/05/2021 10:56

@minipilling I'd go ahead yeah!

@Kay00 I hope it goes well and you have delicious snacks planned

I'm 5dpo according to app... so if my crosshairs stick around and AF doesnt show will test next weekend. To be honest would take AF at this point
