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!

@crabette that's reassuring, thank you! I have to say I don't really understand it all! Thank you, your message made me feel better ❤

FF thinks I ovulated now. Which unfortunately means we missed it due to work stress 😭😭😭. First ovulation in about months and we missed jt

Thanks @crabette that's really interesting and good to know.

@TheDaydreamBelievers oh noooooo!!! Hopefully you caught it with DTD on the morning of ovulation (fingers crossed!!!)???

@TheDaydreamBelievers Or maybe ovulation is CD42, and you covered it? As you had EWCM on that day?

Hopefully @Kay00 - although it was definitely a "yesterdays DTD outcome or EWCM 🤔" query! How are you?

@TheDaydreamBelievers oh, haha, yes I see! I'm OK thanks . FF thinks I'm 5DPO, and I genuinely didn't believe I had ovulated until this morning's temperature. But I still think its possible that my body 'thinks' I have ovulated, but I haven't actually managed it.

Other than that self doubt, my chart is awesome! If Ovulation happened on CD14 then woohoo! Amazing! I really do rate these Conceive Plus tablets.

So glad they worked for you @Kay00. Sadly not effective for me over the 4mo I took them but maybe I should try again?

@TheDaydreamBelievers I can't say they have worked for me, as my consultant said she believed I hadn't been ovulating at all in the past year, so its possible my body is just going through the motions (LH spike, temp increase and progesterone rise) but not actually releasing an egg. Or if I am releasing an egg they may not be very mature/good quality due to my PCOS.

But... my cycles have been much shorter with 'ovulation' potentially occurring on CD18/14 for the past three cycles (including this one). If you did decide to try them again then I would recommend starting now, in your LP so that the Conceive Plus starts effecting your egg production from early on xx

Hello all,

I hope you are all doing okay ❤️

I disapeared once again for a couple of weeks. I'll be honest here that I am struggling. My messages at times are probably obvious, I even feel bad for them, like I drag this thread down sometimes. The way I am coping is to stick my head in the sand and ignore it all. That's why I keep disappearing. Like running away from your problems, I focus on everything else. Because if I don't I fear how I will feel. I go along fine, things in life are better, but the real ache and want is getting worse and I am burying it for a brave face. The thought of letting go and feeling all the time how I do when AF comes horrifys me.

I am 8dpo. I have no hope really. I know I will get some hope in the coming days, its normal, but I don't believe it will actually happen at all. That isn't to be negative, I really just don't feel it will happen, I'd give anything to be wrong.

So I came back because I always think of you all, but lately I am in and out because I keep running away from myself and covering even to myself what I am doing.

Its been a tough couple of weeks with all This too, I've realised I haven't even allowed myself to acknowledge it. But I'm aware AF is less than a week away, I've seen three pregnancy announcements tonight and I've kind of faced what I've been doing and I wanted to check in with you all, and see how you all are Xx

@lovebug06 big hugs xxx please don't feel like you bring anything or anyone down, we are all friends here and we are here to support each other. I totally understand why you try to ignore the whole TTC process as much as you can; I'm 13 months in and I'm not even sure if I'm ovulating! So I cope by being pessimistic (or in my case realistic) and by not getting my hopes up... its rubbish. When you finally get your BFP I/we will all be so psyched!!

So good news is that my first appointment for private fertility is in Friday which they are taking bloods, then I have to book in so DH can do his SA and for my hycosy etc and then on that same day we get the results. I also spoke to my GPs to confirm he is referring me to gynaecology.

Anyone get sore boobs prior to ovulation? I’m CD8 and they are so tender which had never happened in any of my prior cycles except when they hurt for ages when I came off contraception.

Hi everyone. I haven't posted to this chat in so long and my username is no longer relevant. I wanted to update those who I were speaking to back in August/September/October 2020 and sporadically speaking to since then.
I wanted to let you know that I have recently given birth to my little girl who was born a week late by emergency c section but still only a diddy 6lb 10oz. As you can tell by the time of my post, sleeping at night is elusive!
No one tells you how hard it is or at least you don't listen to those who do tell you. However it is all worth it and I have faith that you will all have your turn soon. Keep positive ☺️ xx

Congratulations @Trying4one, shes lovely. I can only hope I get there one day x

@Trying4one Awww, wow!! Congratulations! She's absolutely gorgeous

@Trying4one oh wow she's gorgeous! Congratulations! Are you both okay? Are you healing well? Does she have a name you can share with us? :)

@Trying4one congratulations xx she is beautiful I hope you are both doing well xx

@Kay00 thank you. I am not doing too bad. I am not going to lie I found the birth a bit traumatic as I didn't progress past 3cm so after 20 + hours of labour I had to have the emergency c section. The scar is healing well and barely feel any pain from it any more. Just got to take it easy for a few weeks.
@Juno231thank you. Yeah we are both well. Though I have baby blues (hormones have a lot to answer for) so cry most days but getting less teary every day. It's funny how you can want something so much but it is still a shock to the system when she arrived. Her name is Abigail ☺️
Thanks @Moocher90 @TheDaydreamBelievers

@Trying4one gorgeous name

Ladies anyone have an ovarian reserve test and what the result was. I did an online one with LetsGetChecked and it can out lower then I was expecting. I’m 30, 31 in September…. I’ve attached the result. I’m so concerned I will never be a mum :(

@moocher90 oof where are you at with fertility referral stuff? Call your GP and get a referral off the back of this as I would be worried about premature ovarian failure. For reference my one was 26.6 with LGC and when the fertility clinic redid it it was 21.3.

@Moocher90 also check your local CCG policy? No point waiting ages for the NHS if they have a minimum AMH requirement. I swear mine says 5.4.

@Juno231
I can’t find anything on my local ccg about AMH levels required.
So I spoke to the reception team and they said my referral would go to gynaecology this week.

I’m having private bloods done on Friday though but I may ask there about my results and whether they could get a latter to my GP to hurry along my referral.

@moocher90 hm and are you sure the gynecology referral is a fertility one?

@Juno231
Well it’s defo to do with my lack of ovulation. So I can assume it’s a fertility referral.
