Anyone else fresh off the pill!?

So decided to put off TTC in Jan because of my smear.
Had it this morning, they made me POAS before they did it, which was negative as expected.
Going through ovulation without trying was a struggle, especially because I felt super horny through it (TTI).
But now it's back to business!

Morning 😊 update from me: I took a test this morning and it was negative. So the bleeding must of been random spotting! Going to leave it for now and wait for AF.

What tests are you guys using? I’ve been buying the Boots own cheapest ones (£4.99 for pack of 2). They probably aren’t the most sensitive but I just can’t bring myself to pay £9/10 on a test that’s going to be negative anyway!

@kinsella82 okay yeah il do that! Il keep you informed xx

Resist testing* (not resting!)

Ah @Beddie11 it's very hard to resist resting isn't it? Don't get disheartened. It's still early days after ovulation - maybe test again if you haven't had af by Saturday and try fmu xx

@kinsella82 well time will tell for me i suppose! I have a confession, i did a test this evening and BFN. But it was an evening wee, and i know its probably abit early to get a bfp but still its dissapointing xx

@Beddie11 I estimate that it arrived 13-14 days after ovulation.

@kinsella82 soo how many days post approximate ovulation did AF arrive? On Saturday il be two weeks post ovulation so thinking to expect it then? But then again I've no idea how long my cycles are xx

Oh @Beddie11 I really hope you don't get anything near what I'm experiencing right now! Honestly haven't felt as bad since my teenage pre pill days! And that was neither today nor yesterday!!!

I was the same as you - thought I ovulated and tested a couple of times about a week after and then about 10 days after ish. And then AF arrived. Only for it arriving id probably still be testing 😂

@kinsella82 im not looking forward to my first non pill period at all 🤔 who knows what its going to be like! I only ever had light bleeds with the pill aswell,literally only a day of loght bleeding usually! @Peaky297 ooo good luck in your FW! Hopefully this is the one for you! Im currently approximately 9dpo and just playing the waiting game really, not sure when to expect AF or when to test.. what do u guys think? Xx

I took my last pill on the 15th of this month so final break through has been on gone. I was on it for about 9 years, took a break of a few months last year, and then went back on it for 7 or 8 months. Hoping it wont take my body too long to get back to normal! Best of luck with it, such exciting times!

I've just finished work and had a quick walk/hobble around the park. Hopefully today is the worst of it! Thanks

Best of luck this week @peaky297

Thanks @Beddie11 I know it's a good thing to be getting it only a month after stopping the pill but it's floored me with how severe it is. I barely got anything when on the pill. The lightest bleed for half a day maybe

@kinsella82 oh no 😣😣 hope it doesnt last too long for you xx

Ok Af has definitely arrived and as it's my first proper one in 4 years it's horrendous :( so heavy and cramps down my legs and my entire tummy :( really feel crap

Sorry @GillyJ1984

@JillyJ1988 I've been up and down too. I wonder if it's the confusion of hormones.

Still no AF here and was due last week!

@Kinsella82 ahh lovely! Yes I'm hoping for things to go smoothly, fingers crossed for us all. I've started to track in the Flo app so I know when I've started AF etc x

This evening I have a bit of streaky blood when I wipe (tmi so so sorry!) and I'm seriously crampy. Feel wretched. So I'm hoping this is the start of AF now and I'll know where I am then.

@Lucylondon32 hi! Mine are 6 and 4 at the moment but if I'm lucky enough to get pregnant soon enough they'll be 7 and 5 by the time baby arrives.
I know they will love a brother or sister so it'll be exciting seeing it all through their eyes this time around!

@Kinsella82 yes for TTC #3, how old are yours? I have a 4yo and 2yo! Stopped my pill last week and just having breakthrough bleed so no idea what to expect now, hoping things settle and then wait for a "normal" period x

Hi ladies! Am new to this thread, was wondering if anyone else has experienced a negative change in mood since stopping the pill? I stopped the pill 8 days ago after being on it continuously for 12 years. Last week didn’t feel affected at all although on 7 day break so not unusual. Today I feel awful, super emotional, depressed and teary for absolutely no reason! The excitement about TTCing and extreme broodiness seem to have gone out the window. I had thought being off the pill was meant to improve your mood so am hoping this is just hormones settling down and it will pass. Good luck to you all for speedy BFPs!
