Post pill party - Halloween Party

The dark mornings and nights are here and theres a full moon out!

To mark the spookiest time of year, we are sharing some of our tales of TTC post contraception.

Join us if your dare for a ghastly affair!

Welcome to the 13th post pill party thread. We are here for women who have recently come off the pill and women who have been off the pill for a longer time! Share and get support with the highs and lows of TTC.

Sorry to anyone I have missed off.

@Kat668 I hear you. Unpredictable ovulation _ ovulation disorders make trying to get coverage a drag

@Juno231 yay for the digital! It’s such a great feeling to have it confirmed like this 🥳 loved your recap and story of telling your OH 💕 still so buzzing for you! Xxx

Omg @Juno231 huge congratulations!!!! So so happy for you. Hope you are feeling ok ❤️

@ChinChilly glad the scan went well, I hope it provided a small bit of relief for you. When is your next scan?

@Ams19 congratulations on the twins. I hope everything goes well for you!

@Gracie2021 sorry AF arrived. Keeping everything crossed for your next cycle.

Nothing much to report here, CD16 and just seeing what my body decides to do this cycle. Hope you all have lovely weekends! X

Aww thank you so much @missc07

@Juno231 lovely line progression! Are you thinking of any early scans or not?

@MissC07I felt better at the time but that's worm off and I'm back to preparing for the worst, i think because the last time the growth stopped at 8+6 I'm still thinking it's going to happen again. I haven't got another one booked in, she said they would call next week with a follow up for the results of the bloods so I'm not sure if they're going to offer me another scan

Congratulations @Juno231 amazing news xx

And twins @Ams19 30 weeks too! Congratulations and hope the next 7 weeks go smoothly xx

Ah thank you @CharWils! ❤🤞🙏

@Juno231 I just cried actual tears of joy for you. My husband is driving at the moment-we are off for a long dog walk. He asked what the matter was and I just said "oh I just read something really emotional online. You know when you just couldn't be happier for someone and it fills you simultaneously with hope and joy? Well, just that!" Xxxx

Congratulations @Juno231 🥰 💐 hoping it's a sticky bean for you ❤️

@mauvesweetpea here we are!

@mrsmacmc @CharWils thank you 🥰 I still can't believe it

@WhirlingD you're too kind!! I've definitely had those moments with my OH as well, he thinks I'm such a weirdo for crying for MN ladies 😅. I really hope this bean sticks!!

I know it doesn't mean much but at least there's progression for now, bottom one is today's.

Those line progressions look amazing @Juno231. What are next steps in terms of waiting for a scan etc? So exciting. Hope you're feeling well?

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow @Ams19 so glad things are progressing well for you both and always so lovely seeing people on this thread getting success. Give great hope to the rest of us. @ChinChilly hope the time goes as quickly as possible for you and you're past the 12 weeks before you know it. Hope you have some treats over the holidays to distract you too x

@MissC07 fingers crossed for a speedy ovulation for you this cycle!!

@Kay00 debating doing some serious work on the diet here too. Dairy and gluten might be on the chopping block. Partly for health also as I've majorly been eating my feelings through this whole process and don't feel like investing in a new wardrobe either. Did you already go gluten free previously or am I mixing you up with someone else?

Thanks @Gracie2021. Took me 5 months to fall pregnant with my rainbows, so whilst I know a lot shorter than most, between the mmc and that, certainly wasn't a total walk in the park by any means!

@Juno231 seriously strong progression there! Really good start 🙏🤞

@Gracie2021 thank you! I know it doesn't mean much but at least they're not fading so it's a step in the right direction. I'm 4 weeks today and have super sore boobs but that's it. Had to order soft bras from the h&m maternity section as I can't imagine using proper bras atm. I've booked a scan for 4th Jan/ 8+1 as unfortunately I'll be in Sweden from 6+3 and then when I get back i have to self isolate until PCR day 2 test results come back so can't scan then either, followed by me being away for NYE... Hopefully Christmas will be eventful enough for time to fly.

Plan is to do a digital on Wednesday to hopefully get that 2-3 weeks progression.

@Juno231 good that you’ll have your travels and the holidays to distract you coming up to the scan so. Fingers crossed for that 2-3 week progression.

@Ams19 everyone’s journey is different and has its own unique heartache. Just so thrilled for you that you’re getting your joy now!

@Juno231 great line progression! 4th Jan will be here before you know it.

@Gracie2021 I'd brought the usual Christmas treat shiz, the boxs of chocolates etc but now I can't stand chocolate 😂

My boobs seem to have deflated the last few days and don't seem as sore which worried me but the constant nausea and need to nap is still there.

Love seeing positive news 😁🎉
Hopefully we'll have a few more BFPs here soon xx

Update on my ovulation strips! I think I am getting there!! This looks like the strongest one I've had to date. I'm on CD 25!

@Farley21 Test again this afternoon... you are super close. And jump on your OH!

@Juno231 amazing progression - yey!!

@Kay00 oh he's been warned
Thanks will do xx

Appt update for today. Bloods were all good and DH SA was fine too. Next step is tubal patency check for me which has a NHS wait list of a year! Researching the cost of a private lap / hydrotubation as they don't offer any sedation if I was to get a HyCoSy done in clinic. I challenged the consultant gently about this was told 'oh we're in talks with our anaesthetic colleagues to investigate if there is something we can do' 🤔 baby dust ✨ to all and stickiness for the recent beans too ❤️

@Juno231 congratulations!! That is a really great line! Wishing you a healthy and happy 9 months x

@Farley21 based on my personal experience i'd expect the first line to be darker than the 2nd in the next 2 days. You should definitely be testing 2x a day right now to make sure you don't miss the darkest point. Once you reach there, I think ovulation is the next day usually.

@mrsmacmc glad your process is moving forward, that's great news. Not loving the sound of no sedation though!

Thanks @madeleine85

I took one this morning and it's super dark! Also coming up as "peak" on the app.

Delighted even though it's CD26

Will BD today and tomorrow and hopefully we'll have a decent chance!
