Post Pill Party - Pool Party

[TheDaydreamBelievers]

In the shimmering summer heat, we need to head for the water to cool down and relax. Bring your inflatable flamingo, your romcom read and your sunscreen, cause it's time for a pool party!

Welcome to the 12th post pill party thread. We are here for women who have recently come off the pill... and women like me who not-so-recently came off the pill! Share and get support with the highs and lows of TTC.

I can see these people rockin' up with their cossies on:

@Kay00 I'll test again Tuesday am. If it's a no, then it's probably quite a clear no by then

@TheDaydreamBelievers you've still got cross hairs so 🤞🤞. Other than the dip at 7dpo your temps look good. It could be an implantation dip?

@Moocher90 that sounds promising hopefully!! 🤞🤞

AF appeared overnight so cd1 again.

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow ahh sorry AF arrived.

My temps are still ok but I do feel like AF is about to arrive. Chart attached for anyone remotely interested 😂

Wasted a FRER this morning. If AF doesnt arrive in next 3 days (doesn't feel like it) then FF is wrong about ovulation.

Feeling really flat and sick of my useless body tbh.

Sorry to hear the witch arrived @Sunshinedaisybuttermellow

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow Sorry to hear you're out. Hopefully this month with be your month xx

@TheDaydreamBelievers Urgh... that's annoying. I have had charts before where FF has assumed I ovulated all the way up until '14DPO' when I then ACTUALLY ovulated and my temp shot up properly. Hope that your cycle becomes clearer soon... but keep DTD just in case!

I hope this is OK to post here. So I had a very odd experience last night (it's really gross so won't explain unless asked!) and I tested this morning just to rule out pregnancy as a cause. It didn't rule it out🙈
I have no idea how far along I am and no clue what to do next. I'm shook.

@Paintingfences OMG!!! Yesss!!!! Congrats!!! I'm super pleased for you

@Paintingfences Also... please explain about the gross thing. I think we will all be really intrigued

@Kay00 Thanks, I'm sending my husband out to get one of those tests that tell you how many weeks. I don't want to get too excited but I needed to tell someone!

Eh so do not read if squeamish or eating!!!! I woke up at about 12.30am with a horrendous pain in my.....bumhole. Like it was so painful, I was shaking and felt lightheaded and thought I was going to pass out. I was lying on the bathroom floor, not knowing was I going to pass out or gave a heart attack. Then I pooped and was fine 🙈 That has never ever happened to me before, I thought something was seriously wrong. Apologies for the story!

@Paintingfences I agree need to know what the gross experience was...congrats!

@TheDaydreamBelievers eurgh! How annoying. I totally get that feeling, I was actually walking the dog this morning thinking how come millions of women carry babies problem free and I can't 🤔 random early dog walking thoughts lol

@Paintingfences Ooh wow... that is certainly odd! I wonder if your bowel movement was pressing on a nerve that had moved because of your pregnancy?

Do you think you would feel comfortable telling us your TTC story? I think I remember you saying you came off the pill in July? And only just had your withdrawal bleed?

@Paintingfences congratulations! The bum hole pain happens in pregnancy, can be ligaments around the cervix and rectum changing.

The lines are strong but not insanely strong so I reckon you'll be 5 weeks or so? Get your hands on a clearblue weeks indicator to get an estimate

@ChinChilly Yes, I regularly think similar things... but then I find it amazing that anyone gets pregnant all - haha! It seems so bloody difficult.

@Paintingfences I think I've had that bumhome pain you're referring to, it's pretty horrid like someones shoved a bread knife up there 🤣🤣 sorry that's gross but its the only way I can describe it. It's so intensely painful though. I've seen a few women on here call it javelin arse lol

@Kay00 I know I've thought the same and there is so much that can go wrong how are any healthy babies ever born

@ChinChilly that's so reassuring, I really thought I has going to have a heart attack. I've never felt pain like it before!

@Kay00 ill share my story but I don't want to upset anyone so please skip the next bit if anyone is feeling emotional.
6th July - stopped cerazette
31st July to 5th Aug - withdrawal bleed
7th Aug - postive ovulation test
8th Aug - positive ovulation test
Night of 8th - javelin Arse 😂
9th Aug - positive pregnancy test

So no clue how far along, I never thought I'd get a positive test now. But I have my hope contained, just in case. It's early days!

@Paintingfences I've had it a few times around my period, and after I had an MVA following a my MC, it is something to do with ligaments and uterus contractions and all that kinda thing. It is one of those pains though were you just grab the nearest thing and squeeze until it passes.
Wow, your body got straight back into the swing of things then, your withdrawal bleed could of actually been implantation bleeding then.

@ChinChilly Thank you for your comments, very reassuring that I'm not broken!! My withdrawal bleed was different to how I was expecting it, I thought it would be like a period. I didn't think implantation bleed would last so long?! This is all very confusing for a Monday morning!
Sorry about your MC, I hope you get good news soon. Xx

@Paintingfences I've never had implantation bleeding personally but I'm sure i varies from person to person, some people think they've actually had thier period when it was implantation. I would guess that if your bleed stopped on the 5th Aug and you then got a positive pregnancy test on the 9th it probably was implantation. Also ovulation tests pick up HCG so that is probably why your ovulation tests were positive

Thanks @ChinChilly for your comments and advice, much appreciated!

Massive congratulations @Paintingfences that's amazing news! The pain sounds horrible though so hopefully a one and done kind of pain! 🤞

@Paintingfences that's amazing, congratulations!!
You are probably around 5 weeks based on when you stopped your pill and the test. So exciting!

Thanks all! I have a medical condition so my head is all over the place with different medications I'm on and worrying about that etc. (none which are dangerous for conceiving) My brain is melted. Gonna ring the doctor tomorrow and get everything on paper, see what they suggest I do next.

@Paintingfences congratulations! ☺️
