Ttc after stopping the pill thread 3. Join us for: Super long cycles, living in limbo, obscene amounts of poas and trying anything and everything to get that bun in the oven!

Hi Johno

Thank you :-)
What symptoms do you have at the min ?

I'm scared that it'll be negative and scared it could be withdrawal of pill.

Xx

Waves to everyone

Thanks for the virtual pat on the back Bobo.

sarah these all sound like pg symptoms. I'm amazed you're holding out until Friday! I know I'm being a stress head this month but do try not to let it get to you. I guess I need to follow my own advice; there are two options...... You're pregnant or you're not. Time will tell. I'd be happy to have those combo of symptoms
Fx for you x

Thanks bobo. I'm excited to see how everyone gets on and have my fx for those BFPs.

Hi anna I've never tracked O before but if AF shows up this month I'll give it s go next cycle.

Hey purple. Nice to know wel be testing around the same time.

Hi mushy and johno X

Hi you lovely ladies I'll try keep this short.

Stopped my mini pill ( cerelle ) progesterone only on 30th may had possible w/d or even af 2 days later,

On around the 13th of June I had the following symptoms

• very bloated
• starving
• clear CM
• diarrhoea
• stomach cramps I though af was about to come

24th June dtd with OH after I wiped tmi I had some pinkish/brownish spotting.

Around 2 days later tingling sensations on side of boobs and tugging pain going to my armpits, I still had uterus pain.
Nipples extremely sore and erect. ( they're never erect )

Took a cheap hpt afternoon urine on the 1st July bfn

Anyway from Monday 4th July my symptoms have gotten worse.

• boobs are bigger ( skin tight on sides )
• nipples still erect but not sore
• areola massive and darker with lots of glands on them
• protruding veins going through my nipples
and veins in side
•Lots and lots of white CM when I wipe
•Flu symptoms
• feeling sick
• very hot flushes I had to sleep with a fan on and I'm usually freezing.
• headaches
• so tired
• loss of appetite
• vivid dreams the last 2 nights dreamt I was pregnant
• af type pains but not bad
• metallic taste and extra Saliva
• started crying 3 days ago

I'm taking a test on Friday. FMU

I understand the pill can mess up your system but surely to god my boobs wouldn't be getting bigger and areola massive lol

I'm praying I am.

I've heard stopping the pill can make you ovulate and become more fertile ??

Anyone please any advise I feel like I'm going crazy xx

Baby dust to you all halo

Today 17:54 BoBo90

Hey purple. We're both fed up together hey!

All my ov symptoms are gone now. I had them all back when I had thought I was about to ov.

Starting to feel like saying sod it now. 8 months is taking its toll

Hi Anna, yes - first month off. Hoping that next month I'm more used to it and it's not so much of a hormonal rollercoaster!

My poor husband is bearing the brunt of most of it at the moment but I think he understands it's just all my hormones trying to get back to normal. He keeps asking if I'm pregnant yet - presumably so he doesn't have to go through this next month!

Hi Sarah

You poor thing. Is this your first month off the pill? Last month was mine and I had a lot of mood swings and was quite snappy at my partner. This month doesn't seem to be quite as bad. Hopefully it doesn't last long for you and the cramps ease up!

Thanks mishy yes I'm sure once I get in a routine it will be fine! I'm quite interested to see how it goes. How long have you been tracking it now?

Thanks mishy and purple!

I was on the combined pill. Femodene for most of the time as Microgynon didn't agree with me. The cramps aren't unbearable just there a lot. Will definitely go the doctors if they don't go away in a day or two though as I'm off on holiday on the 19th so don't want to spend it in pain and worrying. I'm glad other people have had a similar experience coming off the pill though - means I'm not going bonkers!

My DH is being great though - very supportive, even though my mood swings must be getting to him by now!

Ooh mishy sounds good!! Fx for you eep! Xx

Hi Sarah,
Bless you that sounds horrible, they are similar to my experiences, I was so unbelievably tired I convinced myself I was pregnant! I was on the mini pill so I think it was the sudden dip in progesterone, temps and hormones all over the place, horrible cramps like you describe, sore bbs, skin breakout the lot.
If your cramps get too bad though I would go get checked out, just to be on the safe side.
Which pill were you on?
Xx

sarah, sorry you're having a hard time. If it helps, I had an awful first cycle in terms of mood swings and back pain. This cycle is a bit better. Hope you're being well supported.

Good luck with the bbt Anna. I started using one this cycle, and it's been quite helpful and interesting! It's a pain to remember to take it, but I've got into a routine now. I'm sure you'll manage it!

Temps are still highpurple! I'll take your advice on the test 12 dpo. I just want to know for better or worse I think. It helps that I was able to talk lots with hubby, and let it out a bit. Good luck to everyone , fx all round!

I'm finding not being on the pill really hard this week. My mood swings are horrendous, I keep getting pelvic cramps on the right side, my lower back hurts and I feel constantly tired and nauseous.

I remember having quite bad PMT before I went on the pill but I don't remember feeling this rotten. Have been thinking maybe it's sort of amplified because I haven't had any symptoms at all (more or less) in about 14 years. Did anyone else experience this when they first came off?

Hi all, sorry I have been away for a while so just catching up to where everyone is at. FX to all in the tww!

Hi niki

I finished AF on Monday, lasted six days which seems reassuringly average. I bought a bbt thermometer to try and track my Ov but I have been so slack and am always way too tired to do it as soon as I wake up. I'm too busy hitting the snooze button! I'll start tomorrow otherwise I'll regret it when I'm trying to guess when I've ov'd

Hi Johno, hope you're ok lovely, I'm feeling it with you a bit this cycle, how frustrating for you. It looks like your body has had a really good go of ovulating in the past couple of days, hence the temp fluctuations, there's def something going on albeit it's a longer cycle. My guess is hopefully your temps will go up in the next few days or your body will try again soon.
Have you had any other symptoms, sore bbs or anything?

Hi Niki, welcome I'll be testing around that time too.

Hang in there Mishy there's still time, maybe wait and test at 12dpo? How are your temps doing? Still nice and high?

Sorry AF got you marmite, hope you've been making up for it and have a few too many!

Xx

I'm lying. Last cycle was a respectable 31 days X

Hi all. Welcome to the newbies. Sorry to those that the witch found and fx for everyone in the 2ww.

I'm cd26. I have no idea if I'm dpo as my digi CB opk gave me two low smileys and then 8 flashings before I ran out of sticks

Was thinking I missed ov as you only do fmu. Ewcm all gone now and so have my ov pains. But now left with a really random chart and no idea how long this cycle is going to be. Completely confused to what's going on as last cycle was 33 days and seemed to be settling into a nice "normal pattern". My cover line bbt is much lower this month than last month. Assuming ff not put on the cover line yet as I haven't had a definite thermal shift.

So I may be in the tww. I may not yet have ov. I may not ov this cycle. One thing is for certain I could not have dtd any more this cycle if I tried!

Have posted last cycles chart and this cycle to see if anyone has any clever insight. Sorry to rant just feeling a bit fed up.

Sorry marmite, that must suck. Hope you enjoyed the wine . Hi Niki, good luck this cycle!

I tested again this morning ( 9 dpo), and it's a bfn. I'm not too hopefull about this cycle now... . Oh well, fx for everyone else testing

Hi Loulabelle. I feel like I'm symptom spotting but it's way to early for me! Must be my mind playing tricks.
Hi Sarah. It'll be nice to have a testing buddy especially as we are both on our first cycle.
Hi sparkle, I have 2 girls who will be 6 and 3 in a couple of weeks (their birthdays are 6 days apart) how about you?

Sorry af came marmite. Enjoy your wine!!

Hi Niki in also ttc #3. How old are your other two?

My plan is not to test until the 16th July if af doesn't show before. But it feels so far away, I'm being very impatient this cycle

Sorry about AF marmite! Fx for next cycle .

I have heard of people who have sore boobs cookie and then they go and come back again and are preggo, fx for you!

It's quite nice not knowing how many DPO I am as I am symptom spotting far less. Only "symptom" is really sore boobs which I always get before AF anyways so I think I'm gearing up for that!

Welcome Niki xxx

Hi Niki! Welcome! You're due to test about the same time as me. Although I only came off the pill at the end of last month so, in reality, I have no idea when to test! But about the 18th is about 4 weeks - although I may leave it a little longer if AF doesn't show.

I'm now getting back to grips with mood swings. I've been on the pill for about 14 years so I forgot how turbulent they could be!

Loving the title of this thread, may I join

Name: Niki
Age: 28
Ttc #3
Came off the pill April
Actively trying this month so cycle 1
Currently in CD 18/19
Think we covered all possible fertile days, fingers crossed. I'll be testing 18th July if AF doesn't arrive.
Need to find time to scroll theories all the posts and catch up on where people are in their journeys.

Sorry to hear of AF marmite, look after yourself huni

Well my sore boobs have all but disappeared, which is disappointing. 7dpo and I officially now have zero symptoms. Still clinging onto that tiny bit of hope... Xx

... Oops hit post by accident!
Disappointed but glad to have clarity.

Having a lovely holiday thanks purple
Stockholm sounds gorgeous claire it's been on my list a while!

Hope all in FW are DILR
