Anyone else about to take the plunge and stop bc pills?

Aww freedom, you will get yours soon, I'm sure! catnip - working on your last period starting on 29th July and potentially with a 36 day cycle (although that might not be accurate) does that make your EDD 13th May?! Have you tried a CB digi to get a timing indication?

How did your DH react?!

congrats all felling left out of the celebrations but happy for you 3. wishing you all a great pregnancy.

Oh yeay that would make three of us! Ive got my fingers crossed for u nextchapter and thank you for the good wishes.

first day of my last period was July 29th so that makes me five weeks, due 2nd or 3rd wk in may. at least my bloated belly can be accounted for!

Oh wow. That does sound promising! Fingers crossed! Keep us posted

Sore boobs/that are bigger, No AF, a slight metal taste, not quite right taste-like after a cold & a bit of nausea each day that does fade - these have been building up since Friday, but trying to drag out testing as long as possible. No tests in the house otherwise would have actually tested. If I can wait till Thursday then I have worked out that would make me exactly 5 weeks as AF was 31st July.
This also could be coming of the pill/AF symptoms but it does feel different...

Ooh what symptoms nextchapter?
When are you planning to test?

Congrats Catnip, that is amazing... :) I have symptoms, trying not to test too early as this could all be in the mind as literally this is cycle 1...
Congrats to all with BFP & fingers crossed for everyone else.

Aww good luck surprising DH! I think I am finally coming to terms with the idea. Today for the first time I actually feel pregnant. Felt a bit queasy this morning and had to unbutton my trousers at my desk! (Despite having actually lost weight from all the heathy eating!) plus sensitive nipples. I think I am five weeks today. Have you tried calculating your EDD on the nhs calculator yet?

Thanks Hun :) I'll check it out later. DH is out atm so still have to break the news when he gets home! So sad to hear about the MCs hopefully we will be ok, im almost too scared to get excited just in case something happens. I'm quite shocked tbh. I'ts my best friends hen do this wkend. Am gonna have to explain to her now why i cant drink!

Eeekk!! That is AMAZING news!! I am more excited about yours than I was about my own Congratulations!!

Join us on the May thread in antenatal and I will look at setting up a plunge thread when I get home. (Although be warned it is a little bit sad on the main thread at the moment as it looks like we've had 3 miscarriages over last few days )

OMG you best get that pregnancy thread ready justyouwait looks like im coming with you!! Just got a very clear Bfp

Its probably a good thing though- some people feel awful already by a couple of weeks. Glad its going well. You must be so excited!

Aww well fingers crossed for a BFP or AF arrival very soon! I still don't have any major symptoms. No sickness or sore boobs. Slightly heightened sense of smell (but I usually do anyway) and only fancy healthy food. A slightly upset stomach but no nausea. Still don't really 'feel' pregnant...have to wait till the 24th sept for my midwife appointment - seems like ages!!

Forgot to ask- how are you feeling now, any symptoms yet?

Thanks justyouwait my last cycle which was the first after coming off the pill was 36 days which seems quite long so i thought this one might be shorter as hormones settle down but im already at day 36 for cycle 2 and nada. Also my bbt is very high and has been for 2 weeks now- 37 degrees and its usually 36.2-36.3. I just don't wanna get my hopes up. Will poas tomorrow if still nothing

Hi catnip - it is possible to get a positive after a negative so worth doing another test esp if you have potential symptoms. How many days has this cycle been? What have your previous cycles been?

Have a lovely holiday lovebugs enjoy the technology break!

Ive not got swollen books katy but def feeling bloated! I either look like ive put on a few pounds on my stomach or got a baby bump already (just no baby!) its not a good look

Phew glad not just me catnip. My boobs r also swollen which is weird like water retention but I thought would go with af arrival but 2 days of sitting and now 2nd day af at it but doesn't seem to b. Do u have this to?

Lovely to hear from you wanttobeamummy - I'm finishing my pill on the 18th so will be exciting to hear all the developments from you too!! Not sure what will happen when I stop the pill in terms of when AF will appear but I've told DH that we'll be getting good exercise if we aim for every other day regardless of ovulation/AF etc!! He is on board with that now but let's see when he is shattered after work! We are off on holiday today for two weeks so it will be unlikely I'll be checking on here as I try to switch the phone off and have a break from technology but will miss all your updates and look forward to reading them when I'm back and hoping there is lots of BFP's on here we can celebrate xx

Yes my first period was v light katy which was completely different to how it was on the pill. And yes ive got spots all across my jawline which i put down to the hormone changes :(

Hi ladies
Welcome back teacher mummy I love Italy to its beautiful great choice for honeymoon

Quick q for u ladies who are off the pill now. How many of u have had periods since stopping and have these been really light? My first period was almost just spotting, period. 2 was light but more if a flow. Period 3 which I am now on 2 days of spotting think yest but have been a proper day but v light - I'm finding it v confusing.

Have also developed spots on neck by ears over glands has anyone else had this?

Sorry for so much detail for those of u waiting to come off pill

Congratulations teacher! And welcome back. Lets hope the next cycle we will all get bfps. Ive still not seen AF and im starting to wonder whether i should test again...? Is it possible to get a negative then a positive if i got my dates wrong?

i couldn't get on with the buses- too fast paced unless u are checking the conversation ten times a day. Really happy to hear about siarie though and hope we can all join u on the pregnancy thread soon justyouwait i bet your mum and dad were delighted with the news?

Lovebugs - sounds like we re on the same time scale! My last pill will be on 14 September ironically our first wedding anniversary. Am hoping for af mid October tho am not sure if you count from first day of no pill or first day of withdrawal bleed? Confusing. Anyhow should be trying properly towards end of October eek!

Congrats justyouwait that is great news! Here's hoping for more bfp on this thread :D

just you wait I totally agree. Like the little group here on our thread. Hope everyone is relaxing and enjoying the weekend. On a totally no ttc note my tomatoes are finally turning red. Hopefully that's a sign that other things are growing as well

Ahh those 'bus' threads give me a headache! Felt like too many people and too much pressure for me. Found the thread but can't see her post. Much happier here on our quieter, more intimate thread
Very pleased for her though!
