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!

whatsthecraic91 · 04/08/2019 14:45

@Sunshine8888 im actually 100% I can’t believe it as I usually suffer 🤣 still no AF 🤞🏼

Sunshine8888 · 04/08/2019 11:35

Hope your head isn’t too sore this morning @whatsthecraic91 - sometimes a night out to take our minds off things is just what we need but I hate the hangover the next day!!

whatsthecraic91 · 04/08/2019 02:58

whatsthecraic91 · 03/08/2019 14:56

@DaniX91 I’m so scared to test again honestly I’ve completely lost the plot this cycle, I said I wasn’t going to obsess but here I am 😂 feeling super weird today like the feeling you get when you drop on a rollercoaster. Don’t know what that means - still no AF tho!

DaniX91 · 03/08/2019 10:43

@whatsthecraic91 oooh this sounds good! I'm so excited for u to test! X

whatsthecraic91 · 02/08/2019 21:34

@Sunshine8888 AF is due tomorrow/Sunday so not going to test again until she’s late! Feeling a bit weird and emotional today and I still have my sore nips so 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Sunshine8888 · 02/08/2019 12:40

Welcome @HappyGirl86 and @Positivity2019 - we are all in this together 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Sunshine8888 · 02/08/2019 12:37

@whatsthecraic91 sorry to hear about BFN but don’t rule anything out just yet... keep us updated. Sending lots of positive baby vibes your way x

Sunshine8888 · 02/08/2019 12:35

Hi @Beddie11. It took me 45 days to get AF after coming off the pill! I’m now on cycle 2 and have no idea when to expect it so I’ve just been DTD regularly and not tracking anything. It’s impossible to know what’s going on so I share your frustration! Not knowing when AF is due means no idea of and when to test so think I’m just going to try and not do anything...wait and see but easier said than done! I’ve read not to start using OPKs until having two natural cycles ...

DaniX91 · 02/08/2019 10:08

@Beddie11 yea we're quite happy with March! I think I'll start to enjoy it more once the 12 week scan is out the way, will maybe relax a bit more then.
That sounds like a good plan, hopefully they can help 😊. Have u tried using OPK's? X

Beddie11 · 01/08/2019 21:58

@danix91 ooo march is a good month, because by the time christmas comes and goes it will come around to march sooo quickly! Hopefully your pregnancy will fly be, try and enjoy it though! Im gonna go back to the doctors soon to see If theres anything they can do to kick start my periods, because im pretty sure im not ovulating either. Xx

DaniX91 · 01/08/2019 10:14

@Beddie11 I get exactly what u mean and I totally agree with u. It is nice to hear success stories isn't it, just keep thinking that it is guna be your turn 😊.
Yeah I'm due around the 15th of March, so exciting but so scary! X

Beddie11 · 31/07/2019 21:05

@danix91 yeah i think thats what it is, because although i like to chat about it on here i dont want to have to talk about it regularly if you get me? So on here although it sounds awful i can avoid it if i dont feel like talking but irl its harder to do that. Wow you were so lucky! I was on the pill 12 years aswell so i wondered if that had anything to do with my lack of cycle since stopping it but obviously thats not how it works lol. Have i figured out your approximate due date yet? I love hearing other peoples sucess stories, they give me hope! Xxx

DaniX91 · 31/07/2019 20:27

@Beddie11 u just feel like u don't wanna tell anyone in real life cos then you'll start getting the questions every month, well that's why I didn't want to anyway! It's a good job we have these threads to voice what's on our mind and talk to people in the same position.
Do u not feel like u could tell even just one of your friends? It might help considering you're both in the same boat?
Aw thankyou 😊 I took my last pill on May 10th after being on it for about 12 years. I started using OPKs straight away so I knew that I was back to ovulating. I had my period and again used the OPK's then took a test 2 weeks after my positive one. So I was lucky for it to happen on cycle 2 of trying and I thank my lucky stars for that. I have all the hope in the world for everyone trying! X

Beddie11 · 31/07/2019 20:09

@whatsthecraic91 yeah i think it is harder that nobody in real life knows so i dont ever really talk about it! 3 of my good friends are currently trying for a baby aswell and i still havent told them i just dont want too. Theyve all come off the pill and had perfect periods its so frustrating, like why me? Why cant i just get a regular cycle back like everyone else! And i just know that chances are either 1 of them or 2 of them or even all of them will get pregnant before me and i really will be happy for them i will just be gutted for myself. Xx
@danix91 thanks for the support i really appreciate it! So happy to see things are progressing well for you, you must be so relieved! When did u come off your pill? Xxx

DaniX91 · 31/07/2019 08:54

@whatsthecraic91 @Beddie11 Aww please try to keep your chin up both of u 😘 stay positive xx

whatsthecraic91 · 30/07/2019 22:24

@Beddie11 I just read that back it’s quite depressing what I wrote there! It’s the truth tho!!

We just have to keep positive and support each other, especially if no one IRL knows our struggles! Baby dust to all xx

whatsthecraic91 · 30/07/2019 22:23

@Beddie11 it really is, I’m at the stage now where there is no tears shed I’m just like emotionless about it now!

It must be so disheartening not having regular periods I’ve been lucky that way, I took my last pill Christmas Eve and I never ever thought by this stage it would have happened by now! We spend so much of our lives trying not to get pregnant and when you want it it’s this hard! Then you hear of people getting pregnant on their first month or off a one night stand and your just like.......?

Beddie11 · 30/07/2019 20:53

@whatsthecraic91 sorry to hear about your bfn! Its so disappointing every time isnt it. Ive just had one this evening. So im now 7months off the pill and still waiting for my 2nd period. Im so deflated tonight i really could just cry x

DaniX91 · 30/07/2019 20:12

Haha definitely the hormones @Moonstone12 !
