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!

@allycat31 😪 I suspect I'll be joining you on CD1 today too. I just did my pre-procedure pregnancy test. BFN of course xx

@minipilling you are incredibly brave for making the choice to try for a baby, especially with your painful condition. Is there anything the GP can do to help you manage the pain?

@missC07 haha... im going to eat ALL the crisps 😆 and maybe get take away fish and chips for tea 😍😋

@firsttimemummy321 it's good that you have been reffered hopefully you can start getting some answers!

@Cams50 it was much better than seeing 1-2, I'm a tiny bit disappointed i didn't get the 3+ but I've seen a few ladies on here saying they either didn't get it at all or not until they were 6weeks and I still have no idea how many dpo i am so I'll hang off until the end of next week i think and see.

@minipilling that sounds incredibly difficult, have you spoken to your GP at all? I'd say go for the vaccine aswell

@minipilling yikes that sounds terrible! Remind me have you had a lap recently? Might be time for another one to help ttc along!

@kay00 I'd love to know how much weight you'll have lost with your special diet the last couple of weeks - sounds like your post procedure meal will be well deserved!!

Well good thing I jumped OH this morning... I had a feeling today would be the day!

@TheHotelCalifornia Congratulations ❤ lovely news!

@Juno231 🙌 great coverage! 🤞what cd are you again?

@Kay00 hope you enjoy your fish & chips! Sounds like you deserve a feast!

CD14 today and flashing smiley again but the lines looked darker so I'm hoping itll be peak tomorrow or Tuesday. DTD yesterday morning so having today off as DH is nursing a hangover! Got family staying for the week so dtd will be interesting! 😳😂

@juno231 nice one! 👌

Your your interest, I have lost 1.5 lb in the last couple of days (zero food and 4 different batches of laxatives) but i think I was quite dehydrated this morning too. I have lost about 6 lb since January, so a fairly steady weight loss ( graph attached)

@flyinggiraffe haha, sounds like DTD tonight or tomorrow will give you perfect coverage 😉 good luck!

We have decided to have salad with pasta and prawns for tea as I'm craving nutrients lol. So far, since my colonoscopy, i have had 2 x cups of tea and 8 x biscuits 🤣

@Kay00 Sounds like a plan! I think its maybe a better idea as I don't know about you but i always feel pretty rotten after a chippy tea! Even though I love it at the time! I had a few drinks last night so have been craving carbs all day. DH has had a whole pack of biscuits, a slice of cake and a fry up. I think he could do with taking a leaf out of your book and eating some nutrients today! 😂 Really hoping this is our month but not counting on it. I've got my repeat thyroid bloods next month so am looking forward to that. I feel like its progress... When is your next fertility appointment? I am considering contacting a place which has an offer on at the moment. I'm on the list for gynecology but think the wait list is huge! 🥴 your chart was lovely looking this month by the way! Hope you have the same next cycle 🤞 (but ending in a bfp of course!)

@CaptainGT indeed!! 34 days isn't too bad. 🤞 for a birthday bfp.

@minipilling sorry about the awful af . I've had both vaccines (through work) but I was taking the pill at the time. 2 people in work got it in January and then fell pregnant in February (based on sharing 12 week scans very recently) so hopefully a minimal effect on cycle.

What do people count a cd1? Any bleeding or wait for it to require a pad / tampon? I've noticed some steaks of blood on wiping this afternoon so thinking I'm getting ready to start cycle 1

5dpo and all afternoon I've had central cramps and right-side cramps. CM is thick creamy, can't believe how much CM there is tbh! 😳

I've 9 more days of this terrible symptom spotting 🙄 trying my hardest not to read too much into it.

What are everyone's thoughts?

Hey @Sunshinedaisybuttermellow AF has arrived for me today but it’s not much at all. Just panty liner amount. The reason I know it’s AF is the cramping and my temp took a dive. Unless my flow gets a lot heavier this evening I’ll probably class tomorrow as the first day of my next/new cycle.

@mrsHInch that sounds positive so far. Fingers crossed this is the cycle for you.

@AllyCat31 sorry to hear AF came . I'm thinking I'll count tomorrow as cd1 unless it gets a lot heavier later.

@minipilling I have my vaccine tommorow and ill be 11dpo! It's does say you can have it when trying so I booked it not really thinking of where'd I be in the cycle tbh. I'm just worried it'll mess up this week.... Being late will kill me if its just because of the vaccine. I'll be a mess! Worrying I've done the wrong thing but I don't think I am.

@Juno231 well looks like you have covered your fertile window. Fingers crossed for you.
Men don't get it do they! How can they not get why a pregnancy announcement would upset us?! I don't get them tbh 😩🤣
@Kay00 hope your good this evening and today went okay. Sorry to hear about the bfn but if it hasn't arrived yet then there still could be a chance x
@AllyCat31
Sorry to hear AF has arrived. Sending love, look after yourself x
@MrsHInch sounds promising!

10dpo. No symptoms at all. Well, I just kind of brushed my boob accidently and I think it's now the slightest bit tender. Oh dear here we go. Some months they hurt badly the whole time, other times just near AF. Strange.

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow CD1 is the first day of proper bleeding

@ChinChilly just to add.... it took me quite a while to get a 3+!!

Morning everyone. Please could I join?
Came off the pill about 3 months ago. I've had 2 natural periods now and seem to have settled back into natural cycles pretty quickly.

Dp and I don't have a particularly regular sex life but we dtd on Saturday and ovulation expected Monday/Tuesday (although I had a few twinges yesterday so who knows).

We are taking the relaxed approach lol.

@pineapple2021 thanks for letting me know 🙂 i felt abit disheartened yesterday but i POAS this morning and it was a total dye stealer so that put my mind at rest abit.

@Smellycat56 welcome, sounds good your cycle is regular so quickly, I started with the relaxed approach.. not trying not preventing thing... didn't last long 🤣

@ChinChilly that's fab!! Yeah I think I was maybe 7 weeks when I did it.

@pineapple2021 I saw someone post on here somewhere that the level required jumps massively from 2-3 to 3+ so hopefully it's just that. I'll try again maybe the weekend.

@ChinChilly lol yes I can see I could get a bit fixated with it quite quickly! My first ds was conceived by a 'one off' so I think I have to remind myself that it doesn't always happen like that! Plus I was ten years younger then

@ChinChilly I would agree. Mine required the most dehydrated wee ever to actually get it.

@Smellycat56 it can become and obsession quite easily and then when it doesn't happen quickly I started the self torture of there must be something wrong with me.

@pineapple2021 I always look at my pee in the morning like 'hmmm is that dehydrated enough' TTC turned me into a gross person 🤣 my OH said 'errr why are you keeping the tests they've got pee on' and to be honest there was no logical explanation 🤣

CD66 and app just took my crosshairs away again.

Over 113 days since any proper period.

Sighhhhhhh

@Kay00 so glad you have the procedure behind you. I’d say it’s a great relief. Congrats on the steady weight loss since Jan too. I’ve been going the opposite way. Find this process has me eating my feelings a lot. How are you feeling today? Hope you recover quickly.

@MissC07 enjoy your second acupuncture!

@Lovebug06 if you can’t vent here then where can you?! Keep it coming, odds are you’ll always have at least one person if not more who can empathize. Good luck with the vaccine today. Well jealous. They’re only on the 50-59 group here so a longer wait left for us. Fingers crossed for BFP too have you tested?

@firsttimemummy321 so sorry for your loss, such a difficult time. Hope you have support around you and and fingers crossed you get an appointment soon xx

@AllyCat31 @Tillybabs @Sunshinedaisybuttermellow think we’re all CD1-2 ish now so company for the cycle ahead if that’s any comfort. And Tillybabs hope your app Friday goes well. Great to be getting the support.

@Juno231 sounds like you’re well covered and fingers crossed this is your month. Great idea about the after party for all our BFP ladies. Would be great to know there’s another thread to “graduate to” (best word I can think of...) in the event of seeing that second line. This chat has been such a lifeline the last few months so if we were lucky would be great to know there’s another thread to move to with the same faces to chat all things pregnancy after. What do ye think of the idea BFP ladies?

@FlyingGiraffe congrats on your smokies and good luck for the week ahead. You’ll be like teenagers whispering in the dark 😂👍

@TheDaydreamBelievers I’m so sorry love, can’t imagine how frustrated you must be right now. Hope you’re doing ok. I’m sorry my memory is failing me but have you seen anyone yet about testing or support?

Smilies not smokies 🙈

@TheHotelCalifornia Just spotted your post and wanted to say huge congratulations to you both xxx

@Gracie2021 no worries - theres lots of us to remember here! GP has done 2x bloods, both showed normal apart from no ovulation. Has referred me to general gynaecology. I'm also chasing GP to do weekly bloods. It is frustrating.

Im thinking of maybe leaving the TTC conceive boards - you lot are lovely but it's really getting me down seeing others do 3 full cycles whilst I'm pissing about with maybe ovulation, but likely not x 39479285 times.
