Anyone else fresh off the pill!?

@whatsthecraic91 ahh utis suck! You never know though,it only takes one time at the right time so you might get lucky!
@ttc2019babyno1 wow congrats!! Bet your thrilled!! Xxx

@Beddie11 yay!! That’s exciting!! Is it hurting yet? My first one after the pill hurt like crazy!! Hope it’s not too painful!
I got my BFP a couple of weeks ago so managed it on my second cycle after pill albeit actually 4 months later.
Fingers crossed for your BFP soon!!

@Beddie11 yay that’s great news!! I’m sure you’re so relieved!! I’m currently on CD28 and my cycles have been quite long and different every month so I’ll be leaving it a week or 2 before I test. Don’t think it will have happened this month tho as I have had a UTI and thrush so we had to put BD on hold for a week or 2 which was annoying

Hi all, hows everyone doing? I finally got my period yayy, just over 4.5months since stopping the pill. Soo now im back in the game lol xx

I always go for a pee after sex so I don’t think that’s causing it

@whatsthecraic91 or push out some I guess 😂

@whatsthecraic91 I was always told to have a wee after to push out any bacteria. A lot of people don't but my doctor said lying down for 10-15 minutes before going will give enough time for sperm to get where it needs to and lying down all night isn't needed. Not sure if it's you or not but I always do this

How’s everyone getting on now? I have a UTI again!! Second time since stopping my pill at Christmas! Is anyone else having this problem? I’m ovulating this week so this means no BD which is annoying! Then I will almost certainly get thrush after taking these antibiotics & then AF week. So disheartening

Thanks everyone for the support i did have a down day but then just tried to enjoy the weekend and the lovely weather!
I came off the pill in december, and yeah my bmi is normal, i did lose a bit of weight after stopping the pill, think it was probably just like water weight, i dunno, but deffo put the weight loss down to stopping the pill.
Hope your all okay and enjoying the long weekend. Xxx

@Beddie11 I'm sorry you were having a down day, I hope today was better. I know the answers are on here somewhere but the thread is so large now. When was it you came off the pill? Do you mind me asking if your weight is 'average' (bmi) and has this changed since coming off also?

So frustrating @Beddie11 and totally understandable that it's bringing you down. Take some consolation from the fact that me and you came off the pill around the same time and I'm still not pregnant so fingers crossed we both end up pregnant at the same time xx

@Beddie11 sorry to hear you’re feeling down :(, it’s so hard when you have no idea what your body is doing but it’s really positive that your tests were fine 😊. There’s nothing wrong it’s just taking its time! I understand how frustrating though, keep us posted on when AF arrives 😊!

Me! 3/4 weeks! I wanted to read more of the recent posts but it keeps freezing hopefully once I've posted it will go straight to the end so I can have a look :)

I already have really sore nipples and had a clear stretchy jelly like discharge yesterday when I wiped (sorry tmi!)

I feel all over the place! My body doesn't know what's going on!

@mycrazylife85 oh wow, quite an experience then for you finding out! I had some bloods done a couple weeks ago to look for anything thats stopping AF from coming and all came back fine except a couple of my liver function tests were out of range.. think thats unrelated to the AF issue though lol. Im feeling pretty down today just cant believe that its now almost the end of April and im no further forward in my ttc journey than i was in december x

@Beddie11 thank you lots. I was diagnosed when I was 16. I had awful awful acne, thinning head hair (pretty see through at the front to be honest) and quite dark hair in my arms and legs. I first had blood tests for my hormone levels which showed my testosterone levels to be high, followed by external and internal ultrasounds. I've had one internal since following a period of 5 weeks on the pill. The scan showed no active cysts at that stage. Since coming off the pill I've been following a lower GI diet and started taking Inositol to try and regulate my insulin levels and re-joined the gym. It's worth popping to your doctors to see if they'll check your bloods. Fingers crossed for you 🤞

@mycrazylife85 i really hope your cycles start to settle down for you, its veru frustrating! How did u find out you had pcos? Its something ive been wondering/worrying about with my lack of period for all this time xx

11 days before my period even

@Beddie11 initially I'd have said no, but I downloaded the Flo app and have been logging my symptoms on it. I noticed 11 days before my pill is lodged 'sticky' discharge. That's interesting. I noticed throughout the 70 odd days feeling twinges in my ovaries but I've got PCOS so I couldn't be sure what it was but that was about it. Must admit I didn't feel particularly pms'y but bizarrely I've felt really hormonal today. I cried seeing cows in the bottom of the field near us as they are so gorgeous and I promised them I wouldn't eat them I hope it's not another 74 days again. Mind you, my period was so light too. I only had one day I needed a towel, the rest I used a pantry liner. That can't be a good sign..

Hey everyone. So I have been getting a little worried as I ovulated around cd24 last time and it was coming up to that and id had no positive opks. Last 2 days they have looked a little stronger but still not what would be classed as positive. Today which is cd24 I have gotten a surge in my BBT and I am not ill nor have I been drinking. Do we think this means I have ovulated? Last cycle I had awful pain and loads of ewcm but not had either in last few days. So confused!

@kinsella82 nooooope no signs yet! Im back at the doctors in a few weeks, by which time it will be 5 months! Hoping it comes before then xx

Thanks @Beddie11 really hoping it is!
How are you getting on? Any sign of AF?

@afterlaughter, welcome! Which pill were you on? Are you trying for your first? Xx

@mycrazylife85 did u get any symptoms of AF before it arrived?
@kinsella82 glad your back on the wagon, fingers crossed this is your month! Xx

@whatsthecraic91 mine have been the same. I've had three since coming off the pill too and they were 37, 27 and 33 days. It's so hard to know what length it's going to be which makes tracking things harder. This month I thought I covered all bases and dtd enough but still didn't work. Best of luck to us both for next month. Hope you can take it a little easy this weekend x

So after 17 years on the pill (coming off in January) I got my AF three days ago on what would be day 76 (I'm 33). One day of not a lot, one fairly heavy and nothing really yesterday. We will see what the next few days bring. It'll be interesting to see how long it is until the next one had dreadful backache yesterday though..
