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:

That's rubbish @ChinChilly, is there any chance you could get a private prescription? I'm not sure what it would cost but might be an option?

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow potentially, I've got an appointment with Tommy's in November and I knoe thyroid is something they will check so I guess I'll wait for that and see what they say

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow It was fairly easy to be honest, a lot to get my head around at first but the airports were SO quiet and so quick to get through.

I've just noticed a very slight tinge of colour to my cm on wiping so I think that's me out in a day or 2, just waiting for AF now I guess.

So, I'm pretty sure that cycle was annovulatory- never really got into an actual bleed this "AF" - 3 days of.brown stained CM and over!

TW - MC

Hi guys, not a happy update from me unfortunately, I suffered a miscarriage last night. Still in pain and not sure if I can go through trying again atm but hopefully that will change once the recovery goes on and I'll be joining you all in TTC again.

Hope you're all well x

Sorry I've been MIA ladies. Still waiting on appt for hospital referral and nothing else exciting happening sending love to you all 💕 ✨

@moocher90 sorry AF arrived 😔

@kat668 oh my 😪 im so dreadfully sorry to hear that xx are you getting the support you need at home? Sending you and your partner my best wishes and a huge virtual hug xxx

I overrode the FF settings changing from Advanced to Research mode, and it has given me crosshairs. If I ovulated on CD16 then I am firmly out this month. At least it will be a short month, I can't complain too much. I also feel like I'm going to really look after myself next month whereas my life is chaos this month!

Oh @Kat668 I'm so sorry. Look after yourself. I hope you and your partner have lots of support at home.

No AF for me yet. Had some very pale pink spotting on wiping yesterday after the blood streaked cm, but nil else. Lots of AF style cramps this morning so don't imagine it will be long before she shows her face though.

@Kat668 Oh I'm so sorry lovely, I know that feeling well, feel free to drop me a message if you want to talk to someone whos been there and unfortunately go the tshirt ❤ be kind to yourself.

@Kay00 ahh atleast if you've got a positive outlook for the next cycle

@Kat668 I'm so sorry 😟 sending lots of love ♥️

@Kat668 so sorry to hear that. We are here whenever you want to join again but take time to heal xx

@Kat668 sorry to hear about your MC :(. We are all here for you when you need to talk or will be TTC again x

@Kay00 @Sunshinedaisybuttermellow @ChinChilly @MissM94 @TheDaydreamBelievers @Moocher90 thank you lovelies ❤ I'm very lucky to be near family so parents and husband have been really supportive. My SIL went through one too a couple of years ago so she's been answering all my questions and helping me know what to expect. Just want the pain and cramping to stop :(

AF showed this morning.
Hopefully this cycle is the one 🤞

@Kat668 I'm so sorry hun. Sending lots of love x

How Is everyone? Our household is all covidy so using my line eye skillz to read LFTs not preg tests

@TheDaydreamBelievers oh no!! Sorry to hear about the covid!! How are you feeling?
CD128 for me and still nothing, I've given up temping and OPK's too. The GP has referred me to a private gynae so I need to call up tomorrow and book an appointment! Other than that just have post holiday blues!!

@TheDaydreamBelievers sorry about the covid, hope you're all ok!

@MissC07 is CD128 a new record?

I'm 13dpo, no sign of AF at the moment but I'm sure she'll come to get me later today or tomorrow.

@MissC07 @chinchilly record is 146 days I think! I feel middling crap, nothing scary just standard rotten

@TheDaydreamBelievers boo on the covid. Are you guys okay though?

@ChinChilly hope AF doesn't show and that the bean sticks!

I'm just plodding along. No word on funding yet - it's been 4 weeks but I'm okay with it as my new job starts on the 4th so I don't want to feel rushed with starting IVF.

@MissC07 kinda terrifying it has to get to CD128 before you can get a gynae referral...

@Juno231 madness isn't it! The earliest they could get me an appointment is 28th Sept. So will just wait until then and see if AF turns up!

Ha I jinxed it - got funding through today. They booked us in for next Tuesday already to get the ball rolling! I asked to move it end of Oct so that IVF could start in Jan because of the new job. Feels crazy to have waited this long and then turn it down (for now) but hey ho.

@Juno231 glad you have atleast got your letter and you can get the ivf funding and fingers crossed soon a baby will be coming along which will be lovely to hear. It’s a shame that you have to wait but atleast it’s on your terms x

So due to my low amh and afc I rang GP up and now have my gynaecology appointment for 21st October. Not really sure what they can actually do if my amh is so low and lower than the recommended 5.4pmol for IVF I have however got age on my side being nearly 31 but I’m not sure if this will be overlooked. They may suggest doing clomid to induce ovulation as my progesterone tests keep coming back borderline.

I had my first fertility acupuncture yesterday which was really relaxing and planning on going once a week

I have paid a deposit with fertility clinic in Prague as I’m giving myself 2 more cycles to see if anything happens if not then the plan will be to go to Prague for IVF. I’ve also debated going for duostim so have one lot of stims and egg retrieval in the FP and stims and egg retrieval in the LP. Then you have a FET as opposed to fresh transfer. I have read up that it’s good for women with DOR.

CD8 today and had some EWCM today. Going to start OPKs 2mo so see where I am at, told DH to be ready tonight for some action 😂
