Anyone else fresh off the pill!?

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!

@DaniX91 I’m going to leave it to Saturday which gives AF plenty of time to show up!

DaniX91 · 07/08/2019 12:32

@whatsthecraic91 2 nights in a row I was convinced AF would be there the following morning! Was even asking my boyfriend what our plan of action would be for the following month haha, so cramps can be a positive sign.
When will u next test? X

whatsthecraic91 · 07/08/2019 11:42

@DaniX91 I’m okay! Still no AF, but a tad crampy no spotting so far. Thank you so much if I’m not pregnant I think I’ll loose my mind 🙈

DaniX91 · 07/08/2019 09:29

@whatsthecraic91 how are u this morning? I'm like willing u to be pregnant with everything I've got! X

Sunshine8888 · 06/08/2019 20:37

@whatsthecraic91 ok that’s good to know - thanks! 🤞🏻 for you!

whatsthecraic91 · 06/08/2019 20:23

@sunshine8888 well google says it can be between 10-14 days after conception, if I’ve ovulated late I suppose it’s possible! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Sunshine8888 · 06/08/2019 20:02

That does sound hopeful @whatsthecraic91! How many DPO should implantation bleeding happen? Just curious!

whatsthecraic91 · 06/08/2019 16:54

@DaniX91 yes 2 days late! CD32! My boobs are okay it’s just my nips are sore but not constantly it’s only at like certain times of the day which is weird? x

DaniX91 · 06/08/2019 16:51

@whatsthecraic91 eeee this is good news! Hopefully it is that, you're 2 days late now aren't u? How are your boobs feeling? Ha x

whatsthecraic91 · 06/08/2019 16:40

@DaniX91 I knew that’s what you meant 😊 still no AF! Some spotting today and I never usually get that and I’ve no cramps so I’m hoping it’s late implantation if I ovulated late! More than likely clutching at straws at this point!!

DaniX91 · 06/08/2019 10:08

@whatsthecraic91 Just came on and saw that I ended up typing imagine instead of I'm, predictive text! How are u feeling?x

JaggyJumper · 06/08/2019 08:13

Hopefully a BFP to those who are still waiting!

As of Saturday I’m on cycle 3. Hopefully this is the lucky one

Positivity2019 · 05/08/2019 19:54

@Sunshine8888 putting out positive vibes for an out of the blue BFP!!! That’s goes for everyone!!!

whatsthecraic91 · 05/08/2019 17:23

Kept getting notifications about new messages but couldn’t get on all day for some reason!

@Sunshine8888 yea used a FRER

@Moonstone12 really pissed off tbh CD31 now! Wish AF would just show up now

Sunshine8888 · 05/08/2019 13:10

@whatsthecraic91 ahh no I’m so sorry but don’t give up hope just yet! Did you use a FRER?

@Moonstone12 that’s a bit confusing that you’ve had no bleed at all. It took me 45 days to get AF when I came off the pill. I’ve no idea what length my cycles are atm so it’s frustrating and don’t even know for sure if I’m ovulating as I haven’t tried OPKs yet having read you should wait for at least two natural cycles after stopping the pill.

@Beddie11 did you test?

@Positivity2019 also hoping the next couple of weeks go fast!! I’d like to know how long this second cycle is ... or if I did get a BFP out of nowhere that would be amazing! 🤞🏻

DaniX91 · 05/08/2019 10:12

@whatsthecraic91 aww imagine sorry that it was bfn, u aren't out until AF shows tho! X

DaniX91 · 05/08/2019 10:12

@whatsthecraic91 aww imagine sorry that it was bfn, u aren't out until AF shows tho! X

Moonstone12 · 05/08/2019 08:35

@whatsthecraic91 bfn here too :( how are you feeling?

Guess I'll keep trying and maybe af will show up soon 🤞🏻

whatsthecraic91 · 05/08/2019 07:05

BFN my body is playing tricks on me!

whatsthecraic91 · 04/08/2019 23:16

@Beddie11 @Moonstone12 it must be so frustrating not having AF regularly.

Thank you! Just hope I can hold my wee all night I have been on the water all day after last nights antics!

Positivity2019 · 04/08/2019 22:13

@Beddie11 hey I’ve definitely been there where I’ve taken a test when I know it’s prob negative. You’ll feel better doing it.
@Moonstone12 that must be so frustrating. I had a similar thing waiting for a bleed and as I waited I just did a test once a week to check. I felt the exact way, frustrated with the not knowing. It became an obsession to either have a positive test or my period. Thankfully my period arrived and yours will too, or else a BFP which would be awesome.

Moonstone12 · 04/08/2019 22:13

@Beddie11 I've had no bleed at all. Not even spotting :(

Beddie11 · 04/08/2019 22:05

@positivity2019 thank you, im sure it will be negative but its just sat in my cupboard and i cant help myself lol.
@moonstone12 oh thats odd.. did u have a withdrawal bleed? Xx

Positivity2019 · 04/08/2019 21:46

Thanks for the welcome @Sunshine8888.
Good luck to those of you testing tomorrow!! I’m excited to be entering my fertile period near the end of next week. Hopefully the week goes fast.

Moonstone12 · 04/08/2019 21:36

@Beddie11 @whatsthecraic91 I don't know whether to test tomorrow or not.

Stopped pill almost 6 weeks ago and no period, no spotting and any test I've taken is negative. Not tested since Thursday. Aghhh I don't know 🤔 😱
