Hi,
This is my first post and I'm therefore very new to all this! I've been on microgynon for about 10 years and my husband and I are are now trying for a baby. The gory detials... I took my last pill on 28th November and had my usual period a couple of days later. It's now a month later and I'm curious about when I'm likely to see my next period? I know 'everyone is different' but it's obviously a very exciting (and slightly nervous) time when you're trying to concieve. I understand that it can take my body quite some time to get back to noraml with a normal cycle but any opinon from someone in a similar positon or has been on the same pill would be very helpful.
Also, I've been 'bonking' my husband's brains out the last month and I'd like to know when I can start using the excuse of a headache once again! Ha Ha!

Hi girls,
Thanks for the advice. It's nice to know that its possible to fall straight away! I'm two days late now but took an test at the weekend which showed a BFN - dissapointing, but I'm hoping that perhaps the test is a big fat liar and its just too early to tell! 
Furrybiscuit, glad someone is in the same boat as me! When is your period due, if you don't mind me asking?
Riskit4abiskit, I know what you mean about the increased sex drive - There was me thinking I just reeeeallly wanted a baby! Ha ha! Btw, love the name!
Keep me posted girls and I'll do the same! Good luck and happy trying!
Hi!
I took my last pill on 2nd November having been on microgynon for 9 years. Had the usual 'pill bleed' (not sure what else to call it!) afterwards and then waited until 10th December for a normal period- 35 day cycle! I'm on the second cycle now and it looks like it's going to be a similar length!
Mine was totally different to poppy though, quite light and different to what I (dimly) remember- my only memory is that they were heavy (horrendously so, in fact the reason that I went on the pill in the first place) and it really wasn't 
Good luck and fingers crossed!
Pinkmoonlight, good luck! I hope the AF's aren't too bad and you don't actually have many of them until the BFP! I'm dreading when/if mine comes in case its going to be an almighty, painful one!
Go for it Elektra, I'm sure your hubby isn't complaining! Ha ha! Nice to know I'm not the only one freaking out inside!
Hi bundle
Don't mind u asking at all but who knows when it's due! I had my normal withdrawal bleed when I stopped but as I've been on it so long I'm not sure what my normal cycle is/was before I was on it! If it was to be 28 days, would be due around 5th Jan. was talking to my mum and she said she remembers when I took a break before my period came back pretty quickly so here's hoping :) (back then i wasnt ttc so paid no attention!)also bought a couple of sticks to pee on, just in case teehee. Has sore boobs and cramping for last few days so could be good news, could be AF!
Elektra funny you should say that, I'm now seeing I was more of an emotional wreck on the pill-have felt great the past few weeks! Strange what hormones can do to U isn't it?
Lots of us have biscuit names hehe
Fingers crossed for you furrybiscuit!
I was an emotional wreck in my 7 day break but nothing as bad as when I'm off the pill, that is just horrible, sadly I'm actually looking forward to it as it means we can try properly once I have had AF! Although have cheated a couple of times since coming off of the pill. Oops 
Hi girls, Happy New Year!
Riskit, I'm going to change my name to CustardCream so I fit in better
Do your other halves/husbands' know that you're on mum's net? I haven't told mine, I think he'll worry that I'm getting too obsessive about ttc! Which sadly, I think is becoming the case! Have you girls changed your diet yet whilst ttc? I haven't done with mine but now after the festive period I think I will cut out drinking as much... Well, that's the plan anyway!
Furry, four days late for me know - providing I have the normal 28 days cycle which I doubt is the case after being on the pill for so long! Wish AF would bloody hurry up (excuse the pun, that's really made me laugh, ha ha!) At least then I'll know what my cycle is! Hope your AF isn't too bad when it gets here! (Or 'if' it gets here!)
I've ordered some of the ovulatoin and pregnancy sticks from ebay.... oh and some lube, lol! Happy peeing on sticks, girls!
Hey bundle
I think mine may have seen the webpage open but he hasn't said anything and I haven't expressly told him - for the same reason, he might think I'm a little obsessed haha!
My PT put me on a diet a few months before my wedding and I might go back on that - hopefully will lose a bit of weight and the less carbs in it will help me generally! It's more protein based (I'm veggie so it's hard to get protein!) so the plan is to start that again on Monday, the drinking is definitely going to be cut down too as it doesn't seem to agree with me at the moment!
I ordered pregnancy tests from amazon yesterday...eek!
