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:

Think I'm finally back to normal post vaccine possibly fucking up my cycle! AF arrived yesterday 2 days early so my cycle was a lovely 33 days which is the lowest it's ever been! 🥳

Moocher90 · 09/08/2021 17:12

@Paintingfences congratulations on BFP.

My temp plummeted today and I was expecting AF but not arrived just yet. I have had abit of light brown spotting but no bleed so will assume it’s coming in the next few days

ChinChilly · 09/08/2021 17:14

Argh! Somebody else I know just told me she's pregnant and due in January, wasn't planned and I don't think she's happy about it....FFS

Kay00 · 09/08/2021 19:33

@chinchilly 😑😑😑

@moocher90 hopefully your period will stay away 🤞🤞🤞

@missM94 every cloud ☁️🙃

7dpo. No news here.

MissC07 · 10/08/2021 08:18

@Paintingfences congratulations!!!

@MissM94 Remind me how long your super cycle was before your normal one? Did you ovulate in the end or did AF just randomly turn up?

CD99 for me today and feeling well and truly fed up with everything 😔

MissM94 · 10/08/2021 08:23

@MissC07 of course! It was 92 days, it just turned up 1 day! I'm unsure if I ovulated I didn't get any pain or do any OPK's tbh but I have ovulated this cycle 😊

Kay00 · 10/08/2021 08:24

@MissC07 Dang! I hope you either ovulate or AF turns up soon Sad

I had a dream last night where I got my BFP and I was working out the best way to surprise my OH Smile I was so excited and was running around the house to find the best way. I woke up (for a midnight wee... thanks body!) and found my dog had done a massive poop in the bathroom! Ewwww.....!!!! Shock

I up my Metformin to 2 x 500mg tablets today.

ChinChilly · 10/08/2021 08:47

@MissM94 Yay, you must be pleased AF is back into a rhythm

@Kay00 ahh lovely dream, not so much on the dog poop though!

I've woken up with a banging headache and generally feeling like rubbish, even took a COVID test to be sure. Temps are still nice and high though

Moocher90 · 10/08/2021 09:39

CD1 today!

Hycosy and SA for DH booked in for next Monday.
LP was 12/13 days depending on what app i was using so I’m happy with that. On a plus I actually did ovulate too.

MissM94 · 10/08/2021 14:08

@ChinChilly thank you, definitely feeling better now I'm back in control of myself.. how are you doing?

ChinChilly · 10/08/2021 15:42

@MissM94 I still haven't had my vaccine and the whole messing with the cycles stuff puts me off. I'm okay thanks, still patiently/impatiently waiting for my first AF post MC I'm 9dpo so I'm guessing she'll be here by the end of the week.

Kay00 · 10/08/2021 15:50

@Moocher90 Bum! Sorry AF showed up. On the plus side you have some appointment planned which will give you something to drive towards - progress feels good Smile

@ChinChilly I hope you're feeling a little better this afternoon x

MissM94 · 10/08/2021 16:18

@ChinChilly I know the thought of it is a bit daunting and I don't get me wrong, I was so stressed thinking something was wrong but I am glad I'm vaccinated, I just wish there was more info on it and what we was to expect but I guess it's all very new 🤷🏼‍♀️
Ahhh, hopefully she's not a bitch about it! Glad you're doing okay

ChinChilly · 10/08/2021 17:47

@Kay00 I am thanks, I think it's just the initial shock of a pregnancy announcement.

@MissM94 definitely wish there was more info on why it can effect menstrual cycles. Well the consultant who did the MVA said they don't remove all the lining and everything anymore just the pregnancy and any placenta as removing everything can increase the risk of causing damage to the womb when it will come away with my next period anyway. I've been warned for a heavy AF so I'm expecting a monster period lol.

MissM94 · 10/08/2021 18:06

@ChinChilly ahh that makes sense then! I was gonna ask have they said what to expect like haha, hot water bottles and baths now it's cooled down outside 😂 rest up when she comes

ChinChilly · 10/08/2021 18:10

@MissM94 Yup, I'm expecting something hideous especially seen as i didn't bleed a great deal after the mva. Definitely all those things at the ready including chocolate and painkillers 🤣

MissC07 · 10/08/2021 18:31

@MissM94 thank you!! I'm getting really anxious AF is either going to arrive when I go on holiday or be ridiculously heavy 😣 Can't believe I'm on triple figures tomorrow. I keep temping but there is probably no point if I'm not going to ovulate.

MissM94 · 10/08/2021 18:51

@ChinChilly hahaha aww bless you, hopefully you sail through it!

@MissC07 ahh yeah maybe have a rest of temping just to not wind yourself up, AF wasn't any heavier or any different when she finally turned up after 90 odd days for me so I hope it's the same for you 😕

TheDaydreamBelievers · 10/08/2021 22:56

@ChinChilly might not be predict predictable- I had 2 light periods then the monster 11 day long one after those 2!

ChinChilly · 11/08/2021 07:31

@TheDaydreamBelievers oh god, I'll look forward to whatever turns up whenever it feels like probs just in time for the weekend

@Kay00 not sure what's going in with our dogs but I woke up to a pile of poop in the house this morning 🤢 he's got the runs though bless him, all doors open to air the house out today.

Kay00 · 11/08/2021 09:12

@ChinChilly How strange! I was up all night with my girl (black one) who has had diarrhoea Sad she just couldn't settle. She also hates pooping in our garden, so each time she wanted to go I had to get fully dressed and take her for a walk on the green outside out house (eye roll!). I suspect my girl has either eaten some plastic (she regularly steals from the recycling) or its from some stinky pond water she drank... I'll keep an eye on her take take her to the vet if it goes on much longer.

ChinChilly · 11/08/2021 09:22

@Kay00 oh bless her, poor baby. Mine is abit naughty for licking things off the floor, including other dogs pee, vile! He seems ok in himself. Our vets gave us this stuff last year after a bad case of diarrhoea, you can get it on amazon it did really help him.

Kay00 · 11/08/2021 09:30

@ChinChilly That looks good, I'll get some ordered, thank you. Ewww re liking other dogs wee Grin they are such delightful creatures aren't they?!

ChinChilly · 11/08/2021 09:42

@Kay00 I know they are gross and as for sticking thier noses around eachothers butts, no wonder they've always got upset stomachs.

Kay00 · 11/08/2021 20:51

Evening ladies. I'm 9dpo and spotting already 😞 I'm hoping it's because we DTD yesterday rather than me having shit hormones... but I suspect its the latter 😂

Also, for some reason my boobs have not hurt one little bit this LP, whereas normally they are quite tender. These things + me low mood yesterday make me concerned I have progesterone issues. Time will tell I suppose...
