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:

@Juno231 great news about the funding, even if you're choosing to delay it, it's still not a million miles away.

@Moocher90 sounds like you've got a good plan aswell

Well I'm pretty sure I'm having another chemical, 14dpo today AF was due yesterday at the latest so i did a test this morning and there is a very fainy line, too faint for 14dpo and when I got back from walking the dog i had some browny/pink discharge. Chart and squinty line attached

@ChinChilly sorry to hear you might be having a chemical :(

I have had a flashing smiley this morning on my CB today so maybe I will ovulate by the weekend.

Juno231 · 10/09/2021 09:22

@ChinChilly I'm so sorry :( Can't believe it's another one. I hope Tommy's checks for NK cells for you as well, otherwise I'd def get it checked out privately :(

@Moocher90 can't believe how slow the NHS are being if the worry is DOR. What was your FSH btw? If you don't have that I bet that's what they'll faff about testing in October. I'd never heard of duostim but excellent that it's something you can do!

Moocher90 · 10/09/2021 09:28

@Juno231 I haven’t had my FSH tested for a while and I asked GP if I could get day 3 bloods but he said wait until my gynaecology app. Think my last one was 8 u/L which is normal. But who knows what it currently is

ChinChilly · 10/09/2021 09:33

@Juno231 I'm not sure they do test for NK cells, I'll see what happens at the appointment but it's getting super frustrating now

Kay00 · 10/09/2021 14:04

@ChinChilly So sorry to hear that xxx

@Moocher90 you sounds like a woman taking control of her fertility options - well done! Its so empowering once you know what your body is doing (or not doing in our cases). I'm about to start Clomid in the next few days if you want to chat about that xx

I'm somewhere between 10dpo and 13dpo (depending on which FF detector I use). I had a tiny bit of pink tinged CM yesterday so I think I'm probably 10DPO as I usually spot before AF arrives. So I think AF will arrive on Sunday, and I will be starting Clomid on Tuesday - eeekk!

Moocher90 · 10/09/2021 14:11

@Kay00 how exciting that you are starting clomid! I got a positive OpK today so let’s see if I ovulate

Juno231 · 10/09/2021 14:24

@kay00 FWIW I'd agree with 10dpo :) So you're in with a shot!

@Moocher90 woop OH watch out Grin

Kay00 · 10/09/2021 16:27

@Moocher90 Excellent!! Best get to it Wink Grin

ChinChilly · 10/09/2021 17:42

@Kay00 exciting with the clomid.

@Moocher90 good job your pre warned OH

I forgot to tell you guys I was watching GPs behind closed doors, which is fimed at my GP surgery and there was a woman on there who thought she was having an early MC and the GP she saw said 'you do know anything before 6 weeks is just a late period' 😲 thats the kinda attitude I'm dealing with with my GP surgery

Moocher90 · 10/09/2021 17:47

I got my peak on my CB too so I’m really hoping it’s the real deal!

mrsmacmc · 10/09/2021 20:38

Evening ladies! Finally got my appt through for the sub fertility clinic at the hospital. Still nothing happening which is why I've been quiet ❤️ xx

TheDaydreamBelievers · 12/09/2021 22:50

Covid19 has kinda messed up my chart... 🤣

@TheDaydreamBelievers oh no, poor you! how are you feeling?

@mrsmacmc ah that's good! when is it scheduled for?

@moocher90 hope you got plenty of nookie in!

@ChinChilly wtaf... is there a way of reporting that gp??

ChinChilly · 13/09/2021 10:16

@TheDaydreamBelievers oh god that chart..hope you're feeling ok.

@Juno231 I dunno she actually said it on TV aswell 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ shocking really

Tillybabs · 13/09/2021 12:01

Hi ladies.

Is this most likely an evap line? I took too long to check it and I'm only 10dpo

I think it's an evap line 😭

mrsmacmc · 13/09/2021 12:06

@Juno231 12th Oct so a little while away yet, the form they've sent out with the appt has got my back up already as it asks for a lot of info about me and then very very basic details about DH 🙄

@TheDaydreamBelievers eeeek! Hope you are OK 💐 ❤️

Juno231 · 13/09/2021 13:34

@Tillybabs no way surely that's too strong for an evap! Check with a FRER! ooooh I've got my fingers crossed for you xxx

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 13/09/2021 13:59

I don't think that's an evap @Tillybabs, congratulations!!!

Tillybabs · 13/09/2021 14:16

@Juno231 @Sunshinedaisybuttermellow
Thanks for responding ladies.

I'm not entirely convinced lol but will do a frer at 12dpo to be sure

I've been a bit absent from here so will catch up and respond a bit later.

I'm currently moving and so things are a bit manic at the moment. I hope everyone is ok

ChinChilly · 13/09/2021 17:13

@Tillybabs that looks more like a BFP to me it's too pink to be an EVAP, good line for 10dpo

Tillybabs · 13/09/2021 17:43

@ChinChilly I'm too nervous/scared to do a frer 😭 it's exactly a year since trying with no bfp at all. My medication came today as well to start ivf. It would be a miracle if I tested positive just before. I will wait a couple of days and do a frer as I'm only 10dpo

Tillybabs · 13/09/2021 17:48

@ChinChilly I've just seen your update. I'm so sorry.

@Moocher90 I had my first fertility acupuncture yesterday. The needles hurt more than I expected! But I found it relaxing

Moocher90 · 13/09/2021 17:56

@Tillybabs I really hope it’s your BFP! It looks like it as there’s pink and evaporated usually have no colour xx

Moocher90 · 13/09/2021 17:57
