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!

Oh no lol. I didn't want to make you cry @DaniX91 😂 I'm
Blaming those pesky hormones you have 😉

DaniX91 · 30/07/2019 19:12

@Moonstone12 aww thankyou! I've just cried reading your comment then scrolling down to the picture 😂 emotions! X

Moonstone12 · 30/07/2019 19:00

Awwww @DaniX91 what an amazing scan. Congratulations!

Lots of love to everyone who's still waiting for BFP 's xx

DaniX91 · 30/07/2019 18:26

@whatsthecraic91 Thankyou ! We're just so relieved, we both ended up in tears❤️.
We didn't hear the heartbeat yet but we saw it flickering away like a torch being quickly turned on and off, it was amazing.
I came home and booked a private scan for 3 weeks today 🙈 I couldn't help myself!

Aww please don't feel like that, you've tested really early so it was probably always going to be bfn at this stage. Try to wait it out til AF is due. I thought AF was coming because of the cramps remember? Try to stay positive x

whatsthecraic91 · 30/07/2019 18:11

@DaniX91 wow!!! Thank you for the update I am so happy for you 😍 look at him/her!! That’s a great pic! I’m sure it was amazing seeing them and hearing the heartbeat!! Gives reassurance I’m sure!

I tested this morning and got a BFN 😐 not surprised I feel like it’s never going to happen! I know I tested early but I just know AF will come 😓

DaniX91 · 30/07/2019 10:29

@whatsthecraic91 @Roo3125 Morning girls, hope you're both well?
We've just got back from the scan, so happy and relieved to say we saw a little baby and a strong, rapid heartbeat ❤️.
The sonographer struggled to get a pic cos baby was apparently being awkward and getting into some strange positions but she managed to get this one. She wasn't sure which way up it is but can definitely see some little arms 😍 x

Anyone else fresh off the pill!?
DaniX91 · 29/07/2019 09:46

@whatsthecraic91 haha well whenever u test 🙈 please update us with the outcome, hopefully your bfp!! X

Hi girls! Please can I join?
I've had a read of the thread and lovely to hear some positive stories Smile
I stopped taking my mini pill on 14th July, for the last maybe 5 days or so I've had horrible cramps on one side, it was so painful it kept waking me up one night.
I figured it was the build up to me getting my withdrawal bleed.
I was telling my friend that I was having that egg white discharge 2 days ago and she said it might be ovulation, so I took a chance and DH and I DTD last night and the day before. No egg white today but feeling a general "pressure" sort of pain across my lower tummy.
When I had my daughter 3.5 years ago, I'd come off the pill and got pregnant straight away after only DTD twice. All feels very different with the mini pill and I must admit I'm quite anxious already.

I'm 33, and I've been on the mini pill for 3 years now.

whatsthecraic91 · 28/07/2019 22:25

@DaniX91 AF due 3rd/4th Aug, I could test as early as now I suppose but I think I will wait as long as I can, no point in saying I will wait til AF is due but who am I kidding 🤣

Yes please do, good luck xx

Positivity2019 · 28/07/2019 21:47

Hello everyone,
Firstly I’d like to congratulate those of you with BFP and wish everyone else luck on their continued journeys. I’ve just read through this whole thread and I have to say it has helped me feel a little calmer about the painful waiting game that is TTC.
I came off the pill (cerelle) on the 26th May after being on for two years. My cycle has always been a consistent 28 Days and sure enough exactly 28 days later I had a bleed. This lasted five days and I’m sure it must be the withdrawal bleed as I had no other bleeding in this time. It was about as heavy and normal as my typical periods. I’ve been lucky enough to be gifted with an Ava bracelet and so from the first day of that withdrawlbleed/period I began to track my cycle. However, my predicted day of my next period has come and gone and I am now on day 37 of this cycle.
The Ava did predict an ovulation time frame but my period has not started to confirm this. I have taken two PT and both negative. This not knowing and waiting is undeniably the hardest thing at the moment and I didn’t even consider it would be like this. I’m only in the early stages of it all too, I appreciate others have been waiting much longer.
Apologies for the ramble, this thread really has been a godsend and it’s been great to read that some of the symptoms I’ve been feeling are normal and this delay for the next period is normal too. I’ve been pretty low this weekend after a BFN on Friday so I feel brighter and more positive going forward.

wannabemum38 · 28/07/2019 21:28

After waiting for 33 days of coming off pill my cycle has come back. So cross fingers in couple of weeks ovulation and DTD time!

DaniX91 · 28/07/2019 21:06

@whatsthecraic91 stay strong! What's your test date?

I'll let u know on Tuesday morning 😊 x

whatsthecraic91 · 28/07/2019 18:54

@DaniX91 I know it’s so hard to wait tho 😓 thank you 😊

Yea it’s only natural to be nervous I suppose! Fingers crossed everything is okay for you! Hopefully your symptoms don’t get any worse! xx

DaniX91 · 28/07/2019 17:05

@whatsthecraic91 oooh that's a positive then if it's a new symptom! Yea I'd say wait til AF is due or the day before if u can't wait, 🤞🏼 for u!
I'm excited but so nervous, just hope everything is ok.
I'm feeling ok just tired a lot and still got sore boobs x

whatsthecraic91 · 28/07/2019 14:22

@DaniX91 I’m in the dreaded TWW! I got negative OPKs all cycle (after saying I wasn’t using them this month 🙈) but I reckon I’m 8DPO, got seriously sore nipples which I’ve never had before so 🤞🏼 definitely not testing until AF is late!

That’s so exciting 😊 how are you feeling xx

DaniX91 · 28/07/2019 10:18

@whatsthecraic91 hey 😊 good thanks, how are u getting on? We have our next scan on Tuesday at 7+2 so hopefully it's all good news x

whatsthecraic91 · 27/07/2019 20:11

@DaniX91 @Abi58 @Sunshine8888 @Beddie11

How are you ladies? xx

Sunshine8888 · 18/07/2019 13:16

Thank you 😊 I’d be so happy if I could just fall straight back into the 28 day cycles but who knows! I’ll look out for signs of ovulation in 12-14 days time and if none I’ll know I’m in for a long cycle again I guess!

whatsthecraic91 · 18/07/2019 13:08

@sunshine8888 great news! It means you can start fresh now 🤞🏼

Sunshine8888 · 18/07/2019 12:47

Update! I think after 45 days of waiting AF has arrived!! First proper one in 15 years. A little bit nervous as to what it’s going to be like but it does tally up with when I think I ovulated (around 1 July) so at least something is happening! 🎉

wannabemum38 · 16/07/2019 23:11

Aww how wonderful @Abi58

whatsthecraic91 · 16/07/2019 22:20

@Abi58 ah look at your little pickle! Seeing it for the first time must be really something ❤️

So happy for both you ladies 🥰 keep in touch - I love hearing your experiences x

Abi58 · 16/07/2019 21:12

@DaniX91 thank you 💕

Don't feel bad it's for a reason and just enjoy getting them ☺️

DaniX91 · 16/07/2019 21:08

@Abi58 I really feel for u, I hope it eases off! 🤞🏼
Yea that's what I'm tellin myself, and it's only 2 weeks today til our next one.
I do feel a bit bad that we're gettin these free scans when other people are havin to pay for them 🙈 x

Abi58 · 16/07/2019 20:53

@DaniX91 yeah ☺️
And yes lol 😂😩 it's like constant nausea and dizziness in one and then the odd vomit 😭

At this stage a day makes a difference and yours was really early so completely normal. The lady didn't think she could see the feral pole in mine at first and didn't sound alarmed so it's just early so don't worry ☺️💕
