Anyone else fresh off the pill!?

@cjdb3 amazing news! Congratulations x

@cjdb3 amazing!! So you must've ovulated when you thought you did! Congratulations!

So I had my blood test and they came back with high oestrogen... the Dr said she didn't know what that really meant so she'd refer me to a specialist. She then called back saying that she and the specialist thought those results could be "pregnant" results... and I've just done 3 pregnancy tests with 3 BFP...!!! It doesn't seem real.

I came off my pill in December 2018 had withdrawal bleed and then a period one month later and now nothing for 80 days and counting.
I’m tracking on the Flo app. I came off the pill a few years ago and went to the dr because my periods hadn’t returned after 6 months. They did a blood test and it came back fine. Just seemed to take ages for my cycle to get back to normal. We aren’t ttc just yet. I’m 28 this year and literally half of me is desperate for a baby and the other half is terrified. I love my job but it’s busy and stressful and I’m so worried about how I would cope with having a child and super busy work life. Any words of wisdom?

AF has arrived..... onto cycle 6 then!

@niffler2019 I know. I've managed to get some blood tests done by just ringing a lot! Try it - and use some specific hormone names, they might give you some tests too... good luck:)
I get my results on Tuesday and I kind of hope something's up so I can do something about it!

@Kinsella82 AF has arrived for me. Does anyone know if 11dpo is early too be getting AF? This is my first one in 11/12 years! Only took my last pill on May 10th and ovulated on 25th so I'm taking it as a positive that things have went back to normal within a month

Hi cjdb3,
I'm the same still waiting for a period. Stopped taking the pill 1st week of Feb so not long after you. It's so frustrating and Drs don't take it seriously either. I'm getting really impatient now!
Let us know how things go. Fingers crossed 🤞 you did ovulate and get a bfp soon.
Congratulations on your bfp kinsella82!

Sorry sent too soon I was 11dpo when I tested! I also tested at 10dpo and it was negative. Used an IC first.
I had very bad af type cramps but apart from that I haven't had many other symptoms if any.
How are you doing?

@DaniX91 thanks so much! Still over the moon!
I tested

@Kinsella82 aww congratulations!! How are u feeling?
Do u mind me asking what symptoms u had/are having? How many dpo were u when u tested?x

@cjdb3 agreed!

@Abi58 I just wish people told us this before!

@cjdb3 I know! Spend so much time trying not to get pregnant, turns out it's not that simple 😫

@Abi58 That's a good idea :)

It's so weird going from dreading your period and finding it a real pain to willing it to come everyday!

@cjdb3 I think it's hard it's not just control of the situation it's the confusion and not knowing what our own body is doing. Definitely sucks! Have you already tested?

What I would do is buy some cheap opks off eBay or amazon and test once or twice a day and see how you get on (can get like 30 for £3 so not expensive) that should give you more of an idea 😊

Also don't worry there's no such thing as tmi here were all in the same boat!

@abi58 Hi! I know, it's pants! I'm trying not to get too down about it but I'm quite a control freak - like many of us it would seem! - and feel so out of control right now...
My skin went bananas (and has calmed down again) and I had that egg white mucus that everyone talks about, then lotiony type mucus (sorry for TMI!) which I'd not had before. But who knows! I've not tested again but maybe I will?!

@cjdb3 sorry to hear it's taking longer than you hoped. Everyone is different which is the frustrating thing as you just don't know where in that scale you will fall.

What makes you think you ovulated? (If it was about 2 weeks ago you could get af in the next week. Or (don't want to get your hopes up) if you ovulated you could be pregnant, have you done a test to rule it out?

🤞🏻🤞🏻 for you!

Hello everyone!
All of your stories have been really comforting to read and I want to join in as I feel pretty alone in worrying where the hell my period is!

I took my last pill mid January, had a withdrawal bleed annnnd nothing. I was on the pill for about 12 years (lucette), and was put on it for my skin as a teenager.
I'm pretty sure I ovulated about 2 weeks ago, and I thought I might finally get a period this weekend but NOPE. It's driving me potty not knowing what's going on. I'd love to be pregnant by the end of the year, but freaking out about WTH is wrong with me :( I also wish the Drs would take it a bit more seriously and not just go 'oh, it can take upto a year to come back, don't worry'...

@kinsella82 I’m currently on CD 26, I’m not properly tracking I’m kind of guessing when I’m ovulating. We have just been DTD all month cycles are ranging from 31-40 days at the minute which is annoying! Glad you’re feeling good hope all goes well for you

@whatsthecraic91 this was my fifth cycle too and I was fully convinced I was out! Feeling grand apart from the cramps which aren't as bad today.
Best of luck to you. Where are you in your cycle?

@kinsella82 congratulations!!! How many cycles did it take you? I’m currently on cycle 5! How are you feeling other than the cramps?

Hey all hope everyone is keeping well.
Just wanted to update you

I have been having af type cramps all weekend and yesterday and fully expected to wake up this morning to AF Even though I'm only 11/12 dpo. But she wasn't there when I got up so I decided to do a test instead as with my POAS addiction I couldn't let this month go without doing it!
Did an IC first and then CB digital. I'm still in shock!

@DaniX91 hope it'll be a lucky 1st time
For you too!

@Kinsella82 this is my 1st cycle, hoping it will be 1st time lucky!

@AdoraFlora hey! I think everyone reacts differently to stopping the pill tbh. I took my last one on the 10th May and had nothing but slight cramps, no bleeding. I started using ovulation tests about a week later purely because of how impatient I am and how controlling 😂 I like to know what's happening as much as I can!
According to the clear blue ovulation test I ovulated on Saturday or Sunday so I'm now in the 2WW! I'm glad I was testing cos I honestly thought I wouldn't ovulate until I'd bled but that obviously isn't the case!
