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:

I hope everyone is having a good week so far.

CD114 for me and I've had the worst sciatic/hip pain all day. I can't remember if that's one of my ovulation symptoms it's been so long!! Knowing my luck it's my AF arriving just in time for my holiday on Sunday ✈️

Hopefully it isn't AF @MissC07. Do you do opks? Any signs of a positive?

Not much to report for me. Think I may have ovulated on Sunday or Monday but we were staying with friends from Thursday so likely missed the window this month.

Ladies. It is a sad day 😆 back in 2020 when I first started TTC I (nievely) bought a few bits to present to my OH when I found out we were pregnant 🙃 they included this bar of Big Daddy chocolate from M&S... which has been sat in my drawer so long it has gone out of date 😪

I'm still tempted to eat it 😂

Pics

@Kay00 that is a hard day. I say eat it. I imagine itll still be edible and tasty!

That's another pal pregnancy announcement today!

@Kay00 it will be fine to eat so go ahead lol

@Kay00 definitely eat it!

@TheDaydreamBelievers eurgh, that sucks! Hope your ok!

Still impatiently waiting for ovulation CD15 today so anyday now i guess although this cycle may be abit wonky.

Hehe, thanks ladies. I'll unwrap it and share with OH tonight as a treat. Its a bit massive so hopefully we don't scoff it all in one go 😅

@thedaydreambelievers 😒 sorry to hear you have had another friend announce their pregnancy xx

@chinchilly I'm on CD13 and no sign of Ov here either. No EWCM, temps are still low and OPKs are stark white. Still, I mustn't grumble, its still very early for me.

@Kay00 aww that's shite 😩 but still eat the chocolate, you deserve it!

@Kay00 ovulation was always around CD17/18 for me, not sure if my cycles will follow the same pattern now. I had ewcm a few days ago so thought i was on for ovulation but my opks are darkish but not positive 🙄 so annoying. I vote for scoffing the whole bar of choc I ate whole big bar of whole nut last week in one day... no shame

So I’m 7DPO today and went for a progesterone blood test today. Hopefully will know by Monday if it shows I ovulated. Temps are still raised so fingers crossed 🤞🏻confirms that ovulation did take place.

@moocher90 got my fingers crossed for good results for once

@kay00 don't lol I'm in a similar boat except my pregnancy tests are starting to expire. This whole time I've just had one digital test waiting for me where I'd planned to use it after getting my BFP so I could show OH the result as part of telling him.

Oh and OH found two sealed parcels the other week and wanted to know what was in them and why do I have unopened parcels... Those have been here since March 2020 and contain a "You're going to be a daddy" and a baby grow saying "baby + our surname".

I feel a-bit crampy today :/ I really hope it’s not AF coming. I usually have a 11/12 day LP.

@moocher90 really hope that's not an early AF! And I have everything crossed for a decent progesterone result 🤞

@juno231 oh no, haha, I haven't thought to look at the expiry date on the digital I have stashed for the same reason 😅 I love the baby grow idea... I might steal that one 😁 I have also bought a book on becoming a dad for my OH too.

@Juno231 @Kay00 those are both really nice idea. The last time I told OH i was pregnant is was along the lines of 'im pregnant again but god knows how long for' 🙄🙄 I had a positive OPK yday and and blazing positive today, strongest I've ever had and my temp shot up this morning so I'm guessing im ovulating. Kinda proud of my body for getting back into its normal cycle post MC.

That’s encouraging news @ChinChilly x

@Moocher90 did AF show?

@Kay00 oh and I might steal the book idea!

@ChinChilly oh excellent news on the opk! Did you manage to BD enough to feel like you're covered?

@juno231 no AF it’s not due for at least 4 days I just had a lot of cramping which wasn’t usual for me, it felt like a tugging and like I had been stretched as if a balloon had been blown up inside my uterus. I usually have a 11/12 day LP. My chart attached. I though I would test on Monday if AF doesn’t show by then as I usually spot the day before AF. I’m 8DPO today

@Juno231 I'm not so sure to be honest but seen as we're not supposed to be trying at the moment I don't mind.

Well I was so ill last night, I had the worst headache following by the shivers and a temp of 38.9 my heart rate was in the fat burning zone at 120bpm while I was asleep. I've had to disregard this mornings temp as otherwise my chart looks like this 🤣

@ChinChilly I hope you feel better soon! That temp is super high!

@Moocher90 thanks, I feel much better today not sure what happened last night, hope AF has stayed away for you!

@ChinChilly still no AF yet :) still early think I got about 4 days before AF arrives.

AF has got me again today. So a 50 day cycle in the end without identifiable ovulation

@TheDaydreamBelievers sorry AF arrived again. I'm CD119 now and still nothing.

Hope everyone is doing ok! Sending you lots of positive baby vibes from the beach.... ☀️
