Post pill party - Halloween Party

The dark mornings and nights are here and theres a full moon out! It’s that time of year when pumpkin sales go soaring, horror specials sell out at the cinema, and everyone is seemingly dressed up as a vampire or a zombie. 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.

@Farley21 congrats on the BFP! Xx

Need to do a proper catch up on here but for now just to say good luck today @ChinChilly

@Gracie2021 thank you!

I'm pleased to say all is ok! Still measuring bang on where I should be, my bladder was super full even after I emptied some of it so our pics aren't super clear but we saw little arms and a foot. We also heard the heartbeat which made us both cry!

@ChinChilly congratulations!! The first scan is such an emotional experience. What great news for Xmas week ❤️❤️❤️

I think that against all my instincts, I might be positive. AF is due today but I had 2 faint frer positives today/yesterday. Time will tell on this one as it’s too early (11 dpo now) and AF might show still. I just wanted to saw a huge thank you to everyone here for being so lovely and supportive, and that I hope you all get your well deserved BFPs. You are a truly lovely bunch x

@Moocher90 woohoo for ovulation!!

@ChinChilly So glad everything went ok! Now you can have a lovely Christmas being waited on hand and foot ❤️

@madeleine85 this is my second scan already, the first was 3 weeks ago at the epu but it felt like ages between that scan and my 12 week one. Sounds like a congratulations is in order for you too!

@MissC07 Thank you, it was such a huge relief not out of the woods yet as still early days but definitely a weight lifted

So delighted for you @ChinChilly. Hope you can head into the holiday with some reassurance and enjoy this time. How many weeks are you now? Do you still have your 4th Jan scan too?

Congrats @madeleine85 great news!

Woohoo for ovulation @Moocher90

@TheDaydreamBelievers glad you got your appointment. Sucky way to start the new year but be behind you soon 🤞

Thats excellent news @chinchilly 😊 I hope you have a wonderful relaxing Christmas xx

You too @madeleine85 very exciting news just before Christmas!!

@moocher90 I have had lots of EWCM and my ovaries are pretty uncomfortable so I think ovulation might be happening for me too. My temp plummeted this morning so ovulation will hopefully be in the next day or so. Here's hoping we get some good news at the start of 2022 🤞🤞🤞

@Kay00 it would be the most wonderful news to have a Christmas conception and finally be pregnant! Fingers crossed for you this cycle xx

@Kay00 I’ve also got achey ovaries so I’m hoping that ovulation is imminent and as I an away for Xmas and Boxing Day at sister in laws so can’t get much BDing in xx we bd last night and 2 nights ago and going to persuade DH to do it again today before we drive to his sisters xx

@Kay00 and @Moocher90 fingers crossed for you for a xmas ovulation!!x

@Moocher90 I've never had an OPK that dark! Looks good.

My ovusense and FF have detected and agreed upon ovulation. I don't even know why I'm still tracking with such low chances of natural conception and IVF booked. The data are somehow comforting and I love studying the graphs. I'm such a weirdo. Nice chart though hey?

Merry Christmas to everyone. Thank you for all the support this year. I hope 2022 is the year for babies for all of us. Well, BFPs at least!

@WhirlingD it is a good chart! Fingers crossed for you! Who knows anything is possible even with DOR! Got to be in it to win it xx wishing you baby dust! Would be lovely to hear some good news on the thread

Wishing you all a peaceful and safe Christmas 🥰 thank you for your wisdom and support ❤️

Merry Christmas all when it comes. Whilst I wouldn't have chosen to spend another year on the conception boards, I have received so much support and advice from you all. Here's to moving onward and upwards in 2022

Such lovely messages 🥰 Merry Christmas to you all too, and thank you for the continued support.

@whirlingD your chart looks Ace!

@moocher90 I'm also at my mums now. We managed to DTD today before travelling and a couple of days ago. We'll try to sneak somewhere tomorrow too 😆. My ovaries feel like they are firing on all cylinders so I'm also hoping for a Christmas ovulation (amd conception of course!)

F*ck! I just realised that I left my thermometer at home 😂🙃 ah well...!!

Merry Christmas all and thanks for all the support during the year. Ye're a fabulous bunch and if you have to ride this shitty rollercoaster with anyone can't think of a better bunch to ride it with. Hope ye all make merry today.

And enjoy the Christmas bonk @Kay00 😁😁

In it to win it @WhirlingD with a gorgeous chart!

@kay00 haha maybe this is the relaxation away from the thermometer that you need!

@Moocher90 here's to a Christmas conception !!

@WhirlingD ladies with DOR can still conceive naturally so I've got my fingers crossed for you and your beautiful chart

@TheDaydreamBelievers I hope 2022 will be your year ❤️ - for all of us in fact!

6+5 now, barely any symptoms really so god knows if there's anything in there! I'm in Sweden until the 29th, yesterday was -12 🥶.

@Juno231 looks lovely in Sweden I love the snow however not liking the -12 degrees 😂 I don’t like the cold!

So my temps starting to rise and my ovusense temp is the highest it’s ever been for 1 dpo so fingers crossed! It will take a few days for ovusense to confirm ovulation though once there’s a few more temps recorded but my FF chart is also going up too! Fingers crossed it’s the real deal

Hi All,

Just checking in- so I'm now approx 18dpo- 5 days after my BFP.
I had an awful Christmas, woke up to some light bleeding. Then didn't get any until that night (also very light). Woke up this morning and there was nothing but after I went to the loo had some more.
Rand the hospital and they said it should be fine if light but to come in on Wednesday and they'll do a vaginal examination. I'm sick with worry, it's awful not knowing.
I took a hcg strip and boots test this morning.
Hcg is highest it's been and boots test was positive so hopefully that's a good sign..
Hope you all had lovely a Christmas x

@farley21 so sorry to hear you have had a bad night. I understand it is pretty normal to have some light bleeding in your first trimester, so hopefully that's all it is xx

@moocher90 that's looking super promising for ovulation 😁

@juno231 wow, how beautiful 😍 very festive! Did you tell any family of your good news during your visit?

And yes 😅 maybe not tracking would be beneficial. But I will probably take my temp for a few days to at least confirm ovulation 😇

Thanks @Kay00 .
I don't know, it's getting a bit heavier and more red so it's not looking good.
I'm devastated

😪

I'm so sorry xx I really hope it stops xx
