Thread 6 ttc post pill: join us for wacky cycles, far to much poas action and support from some lovely ladies

Now this is a thread I belong on! Lol

Hello! Just thought I’d drop by to see if you’re still lurking here, Seven0fNine and, if so, how you’re getting on?

Hi everyone

I'd like to join if I may? I came off the pill (Cilest) on 19 July after taking it for 16 years

So who knows how long this'll take!

Age 33
TTC #1

Withdrawal bleed came on 22nd and lasted 6 days. Now waiting for AF, am taking folic acid and vitamin D. I am soooo impatient but think I'd better get used to it...

Sorry, only just checking back on this thread! Congratulations, Shoney! She's beautiful.

Any other resident preggos had their babas yet? Any new BFPs?

How are you getting on, Seven?

Hi all

Can I join too. I stopped taking microgynon end of april and it took 40 days for my period to show up. So now CD2 of Cycle 1 TTC #1 Age 29. Good luck to everyone for their bfp!

Hi, can I join in please? As of today I am officially ttc (I've been planning for today for a few years now). Took my last pill last night.

Very excited

Hi ladies,

Can I join you?

I am a couple of weeks post last pill. Not TTC just yet as holidayed in a zika-risk area in May, so hoping to get my natural cycle back over the next few months so we can get on it towards the very end of the year!

xx

Sorry for not getting back sooner, been a crazy few weeks. Here is our little princess Olivia Margaret Young born 3rd May at 2:36pm weighing 8lbs 13oz. Just delighted with her.

The first one is her coming home from the hospital and the second one is one of the professional photos we got taken of her.

Hope everyone else is good x

Congratulations Seven! You've got such an exciting journey ahead of you. The pregnancy will fly by and it will feel like no time at all before you're holding your baba!

Have you heard from Bobo at all? I always wonder how she's getting on.

So, I was a resident preggo, but now I'm a graduate! My little girl, Iris, was born six weeks ago on Easter Sunday!

Congratulations to those of you who've recently got your BFPs. You have an amazing adventure ahead of you. To those still trying, I have my fingers crossed that you get those BFPs soon! x

Hi all, just an update. On CD 52 now with no AF.
Since coming off pill in December 2016 I had my usual withdrawal bleed and then 2 cycles since then, 1st was 6 weeks long and 2nd was 5 weeks long.
I'm now 16 days late for my projected AF based on ovulation, have had negative urine and blood pregnancy tests from GP now so I'm being sent for an ultrasound (were technically not using protection as using the withdrawal method hence the tests)
I have bad bad cramp pains like period pains both in my lower abdomen and back but no other sign of AF. Really hope there's no serious underlying issue when I go for the scan as will be starting to officially TTC soon. What are your stories please? xxx

Likewise ladies 13+1 and starting to feel better. Lovely 12 week scan last week which has made it feel all the more real. So exciting sarah and shoney you are almost there! Does it feel like it's gone quick?

littleemma if a BFN will make you sad then I'd just wait and see if AF arrives. But likewise if you really want an answer the only way is to test! Pulling out is no way a guaranteed method but so many women find it hard to conceive despite doing everything in their power so who knows!! I would say there is definitely a chance you could be pregnant. Good luck!

How is everyone else getting on?

I always check in to with you guys, hope you are all well and you get your BFP soon!!!

Resident preggo here too , currently 36+3 so not long to go at all.

Resident preggo here at 38+1! Some of you I know, some I don't... How are you all? I've been lurking and checking in occasionally but thought I'd say hi while I wait for this little one to decide he or she is ready to make an appearance.

I meant if it's negative I'll be upset! Silly me xxx

Jumping back in on this one guys...
so my first two cycles off the pill, AF arrived after 47 days and then 35 days.
Now on CD 39 and no sign of period after OV on what I think was CD24.
Still getting my head around this tracking stuff.
Now I need your opinion (please don't jump at me judging), we are currently using the controversial and probably not the most reliable "pull out" method. So far he's been spot on good at pulling out on time, so seriously, what are the actual chances of me being pregnant? I actually desperately want to be even though I know we have other things in the pipeline so it wouldn't be ideal but we have discussed the possibility of an "accident" and have decided we'd both be happy, ecstatic even, if it happened.
I'm actually holding off testing because if it's positive I'll be upset, even though I technically have no reason to be as "technically we're not TTC"
Advice please, or just words of wisdom, or anything please. Xx

I am CD 77 here :( So boring. How often do people test in this situation? I haven't tested in a month. I know a bfp is highly unlikely (frankly I don't think I've had enough sex) and don't really wanna see a white negative. Think I'll wait till end of March to test to be on the safe side.

Tentative great news that you got AF! Hopefully your next cycle will be normal. Both Agnus Castus and Myo Inositol scare me, think I'll wait till end of April before taking anything other than my Vit B Complex and folic acid.

Have pretty much eliminated caffiene. Cutting down on meat and got an alcohol tracker on my phone (20 units last week whoops). Stress is managable.

Hope everyone else is ok!!

Hi ladies....looks like it's been pretty quiet on here recently! How is everyone doing?! I'm on cd18 waiting for ov. Still going with the accupucture and have been back to to doctors for bloods which all came back fine. Just gotta keep positive! X

Im new. Been following the thread thougg for a few weeks. Stopped taking cerelle 28th of December 2016. Didn't have af until the 2 Feb. Thought my cycle had returned to normal but i should have had af on the 2 March but nothing yet. And a bfn! So frustrated.

Hi everyone

Just thought I'd update you - still waiting for my referral letter for ultrasound to confirm PCOS or not. In the meantime I read that a supplement called Myo inositol can help to lower LH levels so I started taking it on Sunday and lo and behold today, 134 days after my withdrawal bleed, AF has arrived! No idea if it's just coincidence but I'm going to keep taking it to hopefully regulate things. So happy I can at least start charting etc now to have some idea whether I'm ovulating or not.
