Frustration post pill

"Needing some 2WW buddies" is my new stomping ground , lovely supporting ladies xx l

Definitely. It's so good to have support.

Yeah im about 5 dpo... But coming down with a cold and AF pains 😌 already looking forward if im honest, best way to rein my hopes in lol. Keep in touch xx

Hi nature Ermm trying not to stress myself out this month. Just lots of DTD. Am ovulating right now - potentially. So lots of DTD but I'm not complaining! How about you??

shh how are you getting on?

My DP mentioned it last night and said the only reason people say you're most fertile in the 3 months after stopping the pill is the ladies drive goes through the roof 😊😂

I'm exactly the same!! 10 year relationship and 9 of them on the pill.

Yeah, I started the pill when I was 16 after being sexually active once so for 11 years I've had nothing to compare my drive too. Thought it was just how I was... I was so wrong lol

Onnatures I feel the same. Don't think I ever want to go back on the pill again tbh. Feel like I've lost the last few years and last few weeks have been amazing!

Thanks for the advice everyone. I wish you all luck for TTC and getting your BFP's. Hopefully I will be joining you soon.

Hi Supper i am now CD64 post-pill!! Boring now. I ovulated on 25th Jan though and Ovia made me test today, BFN. Just wish i knew when AF will be here!

supper sorry to read that AF is AWOL , but from what ive read (i love research) its normal for this to happen at first xx

I was on that too mrs ... So far ive been rather lucky. After withdrawal i had a 34 day cycle, ovulated around CD 18/19, then a four day AF which was seriously light except for day 2 of it. Im now CD 14 with a positive ovulation test yesterday. Im keeping my fingers crossed that things remain steady. Id stop the pill about 3-6 months earlier than when youd look to ttc but it can be done in a lot less time, totally depends on your body xx shh i totally have the crazy sex drive too, DP is wondering whats happened... 😂 its me pestering him now. For this reason ill definitely have to think twice about ever going back on the pill. Xx

Hello everyone,

I'm also on my first cycle post pill, CDbloody43 and no sign of af :( I did a Frer a week ago and bfn, I really don't want to test again.

Fertility friend says it can't detect an ovulation pattern now, which I guess would make sense (and I'm a terrible temper, I keep missing days and I don't think the thermometer is reliable).

How are you both getting on Dolwar and Redpony?

Hi Mrs, I was also on microgynon. I stopped in August 2016, but I think my cycles are a bit messed up still, and to be honest I wish I had come off earlier so I knew my body a bit better now. So I would come off sooner rather than later.

Hi all. My period was only three days! Welcome surprise. I'm now on CD 11 and hoping for signs of ovulation soon possibly would be lovely thanks! Amazed by how much I want to DTD with DH blushes Amazed at how the pill had zapped that!!

Hi everyone.
This is my first post and I was just curious what pill everyone was on before TTC. I am on microgynon and trying to decide the best time to stop, and hearing all your stories has made me think I should stop sooner to plan for a settling in period (no pun intended). I was planning on stopping pill in April and TTC from May with the hope of getting pregnant in the following few months.

How are you all getting on ladies

shh.. im trying to see it as clean break, a clear out before the hardwork starts but i was disappointed. I have my 2 year godson visiting next weekend, almost makes my ovaries hurt i want a baby so bad

Thanks Purple for your support!! I know, I know I def should. I also thinking I want to get away half term week - coincides with possible fertile week - but wonder if It will also relax me about all this conception stuff!!

There's no reason to think that. Getting a period after 28 days is brilliant! Think of it now as your proper month 1 of a normal post pill cycle

Thank you Purple I'm so difficult to please because I'm also worried my body is tricking me that things are back to normal and next month AF will be elusive - there's no pleasing me!!

Shhh I completely understand your disappointment, but please be thankful that your cycle has snapped back so quickly. Its not the same for everyone and is a really positive thing! I had to wait 6 months just be where you are! Hopefully cycle 2 will be your month

Finding it tough today to be honest. DH could sense the disappointment and said maybe you still might have a chance that it's not a full period just body tricking you (!) Bless him. It isn't the body tricking me, it's bright red. Part of me is trying to think at least now I will have lovely fresh lining for a fresh little sticky bean - hopefully. Other part of me wants to cry and to top it, i'm out for dinner tonight and one of my friends has a four week old - and it's her first outing without bub. I wanted it to be my month. I know i'm being irrational as it's only month 1 but it's difficult to not get so into it isn't it?
