Hi ladies!
As my DH and i habe decided to TTC I took the last pill in my packet on 17th December and had my breakthrough bleed start on the 22nd and end on the 26th. Now the wait begins to see whether my cycle snaps back to normal and of course whether I concieve! I had been on microgynon for circa 3 years.

Is anyone else in a similar position and entering 2019 pill free!? I thought this would be a good place to track and share our experiences as they happen!

@PumpkinsMum18 it's silly I think! Yes I'm glad Daisy is done with the injections for now! She had her last ones last Thursday. How is Kim doing after hers? Yes we registered her when she was a couple of week old, before the madness began! X

Are u goin to find out the sex? I'm guna guess boy 💙 based on absolutely nothing haha pure guess! Really pleased for u lovely x

@DaniX91 that’s so weird that they aren’t writing in her red book! The nurses have been writing in Kim’s book. Good luck with the jabs tomorrow, we had ours today. They weren’t too bad but I’m glad we don’t have to have anymore until a year old! Has Daisy been registered yet? Our appointment was cancelled because of the lockdown but I got a call from the registry office this week to rebook 😄

DaniX91 · 22/06/2020 07:02

@PumpkinsMum18 I really done see why they can't weigh them. They haven't even been writing in Daisy's red book when she's had her injections! She had her 16 week ones on Thursday, I asked about the book and the nurse said, "oh we're still not writing in those". I think it's ridiculous tbh.
Omg how exciting @whatsthecraic91 I can't wait to hear how it goes! Keeping everything crossed that u don't have to go in alone 😘. Jesus people can go into Primark together but can't go to a scan together! Madness if u ask me. Good luck lovely x

whatsthecraic91 · 21/06/2020 08:36

@DaniX91 I don't get notifications for this thread anymore which is annoying!! 12 weeks today I can't believe it 😁 my scan is on Thursday I can't wait 😊 at the minute I have to go alone but I am praying it changes by then, but I don't think it will 😬 I'll let you know how it goes x

PumpkinsMum18 · 12/06/2020 22:00

@DaniX91 she was weighed by the health visitor when she was two weeks old and then weighed again by the doctor when she had her 8 weeks jabs. It’s strange because I have some local mum friends with similar aged babies and they haven’t been weighed since they left the hospital pretty much! It seems different doctors have different policies. Very frustrating!

DaniX91 · 12/06/2020 18:50

Have u had her weighed since or not with what's going on? I bought some baby scales from Amazon and I fill her red book in haha. I'm up in Durham x @PumpkinsMum18

Wondering if anyone is in the same position as me - came off Rigevidon in mid - March, all keen bean to TTC. Now mid June and AF has never come back. Have used OPKs for the last month and identified one LH surge in May but now over 14 days later and nothing (no AF or pregnancy). So I've booked a telephone GP appointment to hopefully start the ball rolling and work out wtf is going on / going wrong. My guess is that my body isn't actually ovulating again yet at all, which is why no periods?

PumpkinsMum18 · 12/06/2020 14:09

@DaniX91 she was 7lbs 9oz so pretty average! I’m in South London 😊 where are you?

DaniX91 · 10/06/2020 22:22

@PumpkinsMum18 aww lovely, what weight was she? Haha yep it's not easy but so worth it! Whereabouts in the country are u?x

PumpkinsMum18 · 10/06/2020 13:42

@DaniX91 her name is Kimberly 😊
Sorry to hear you had a traumatic birth, must of been difficult 😞 I had originally planned to have a homebirth but had to go into hospital in the end. It was very hard work haha!

DaniX91 · 10/06/2020 08:09

DaniX91 · 10/06/2020 08:06

Aww I'm so pleased everything is going well for u 😘 are u having to go to scans alone? That mustn't be nice if u are bless u. Haha yes it's very tiring! She's great thanks, she rolled over for the first time yesterday! Just don't know where the time is going, she'll be 16 weeks this Saturday. Can't wait to see ur next scan photo x

Oh wow 10 weeks!! Congratulations I'm sure she is beautiful 😌 sorry you didn't have a nice experience, glad to hear everyone is doing well now tho, I'm sure she is absolutely worth it 😇

Lovely to hear from you too, I'm sure we will bump into each other on another thread sometime 🙂xx

DaniX91 · 05/05/2020 13:02

@whatsthecraic91 Oh wow congratulations! Sooo happy for u! How are u feeling? Yea Daisy was born 3 weeks early on 22/02/20 weighing 6lbs 8oz. She's now 10 weeks 3 days old! I was induced early cos I had pre eclampsia, ended up being a traumatic birth and I was really poorly afterwards but we're good now ☺️. 15 days in hospital but I'm just thankful it was all before this lockdown.
Really nice to hear from u and even nicer than it's with such good news ❤️ x

whatsthecraic91 · 05/05/2020 07:40
