Anyone else fresh off the pill!?

@ttc2019babyno1 how are u getting on xx

@gem118 thanks for the reply, yeah that makes sense. Mine clearly isnt accurate yet as it says my period is late yet im pretty sure I've only just ovulated. Hopefully itl regulate soon so i can begin properly tracking! I cant wait to see some bfps on this thread! Xx

Hi ladies

I think the apps work on averages. So during the beginning they won't be accurate but the more data you enter they become more accurate.
A friend of mine uses flow and she says hers is pretty accurate- she's been using it for over a year.
Hopefully this helps 😊

@peaky297 id love to say im from scotland just to complete the set but unfortunately not, i am from the south! I dont know about these apps, i really dont think im 4 days late for my period, they cant really know when my period is due as ive not had a full cycle yet, or i think thats how it works? @pumpkins id definitely give it another go in another week xxx

@pumkinsmum18 tell me about it!
It's soooo hard, I didn't think my aim was that bad 😂😂😂

Thanks @Gem 😊 I’m going to class this morning’s as my ‘practice’ tests. Aiming onto a stick is quite tricky actually! 🤣

I'm 7DPO today I believe. I've calculated it from my withdrawal though. Planning on testing on Friday 4 days before AF is I think due. This 2 week wait has been hard!! I know it's unlikely it'll happen in the first month but I still have my hopes up 😫

Oh, pumpkins. Don't lose heart- like the others have said it could be too early.
I'm from the midlands

@Pumpkinsmum18 great idea giving it a few more days and testing again. We will all be here for you.
I live in Ireland :) only came off the pill at Christmas so early days for me. Looking forward to getting my first proper period so I can start tracking properly

@peaky @Beddie thanks guys 😊 I think you may have a point about it being too early to test. I will leave it a week, see how things are and maybe test again. It really is lovely to have support and encouragement from you lot! 😄

As for apps - I haven’t used any so don’t know how they are meant to work but I don’t think withdrawal bleed dates would be reliable for tracking.... I think I will use them when I start my ‘real’ periods.

Just out of interest, where are you all from? I live in south London 😊

Shit, i meant sorry pumpkins xx

Ahhh shucks, sorrt pumpkins.. like peaky says though it could be abit early maybe try again in a few days? @Whatsthecraic91 yeah your right my Flo app asked me to put mine in and I did, one of my other apps told me the withdrawal bleed doesnt count? So im not sure, does anyone know? According to my Flo app im late 4 days. But pretty sure I ovulated at the weekend sooo im confused! X

I took two tests this morning and they were both negative!

So the bleeding must of been random spotting and maybe I imagined all the other symptoms?!? What a confusing time this is 😕

Oh well, back to waiting for my period to arrive and go from there!

@Beddie11 I’m just using the Flo app and Ovia apps, they didn’t say to not put my withdrawal bleed in so according to it I’m due on Saturday!

@whatsthecraic91 well u never know you may not have to find out what its like, u might be lucky 😍 i came off on the 17th of December. How have u tracked when AF is due? My app said not too put in my last period dates as it was only a 'withdrawal bleed' x

@Beddie11 I reckon I ovulated around the 12th or 13th don’t for sure but had all the signs!! According to my Flo app my AF is due in 5 days time! I’m dreading it coming as I don’t remember what a period was like not being on the pill 😓. How long have you been off the pill? I took my last one on 24th Dec.

@whatsthecraic91 exactly the same! Grrrr our bodies sure are full of surprises! So you say you ovulated last week, have u had any symptoms or signs of anything?x

@Beddie11 I know! On the pill for 12 years and never had one then the first month I’m off the pill I get one!

@whatsthecraic91 really?? How interesting! There must be a link somewhere then, its very annoying, gonna see how it is tomorrow and maybe go get something. Xx

@pumpkinsmum18 everything crossed for you!!

@Beddie11 I had a UTI after ovulation last week, at the time I thought it was ovulation pain, turns out I needed an antibiotic!

Or even found that they started with UTIs after coming off the pill?ive not had one for years so the timing seems to suggest a connection to the pill/ovulating xx

Quick question- has anyone else experienced a burning sensation when weeing after ovulation symptoms? I think i ovulated over the weekend and now today i feel a burning sensation when weeing, im not having the sudden urges to wee all the time like cystitis though. Anybody? X
