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!

@Abi58 bless u! Atleast now your mind is put at ease😊 didn't u say your mam had really bad morning sickness?
I'm ok thankyou. I felt a bit alarmed that they couldn't see a fetal pole but the dr spoke to us afterwards and said that's normal at this stage so I really should stop stressing now shouldn't I?! Ha

Abi58 · 16/07/2019 20:33

@DaniX91 how are you feeling?

Abi58 · 16/07/2019 20:33

@DaniX91 thank you we are over the moon!
🥰
They were running late and then I was sick 😂

Glad someone got some giggles from it 😂 gotta laugh, pregnancy is so glamorous! 😂 x

DaniX91 · 16/07/2019 20:28

@Abi58 awww this is brilliant news!! 😍 I've been thinking about u for the past hour wondering when u would post something!
Haha I've just nearly pissed myself reading that😂 x

Abi58 · 16/07/2019 20:26
  • also just to add

The bottom blob is the yolk sac and the top is our baby blob ☺️🥰 measured 6-7mm 😍🥰

Abi58 · 16/07/2019 20:26

@DaniX91 thank you 💕

So the best news we could have hoped for! There is a baby (embryo) and a yolk sac, it's in the right place and we saw the heartbeat!!! 🥰 were so in love already! Measured 6+3 which is what I thought. They actually did a little 10 second video showing the heartbeat flicker that we've now got 😍

All I've managed to stomach was some yoghurt with strawberries in, when we got home I ran upstairs and threw it up 🤢 in the process of my body and muscles tensing I actually pissed myself 😭🙈😂

So oddly I now feel so much better after throwing up and I'm so happy I actually don't care I just pissed myself 😂

Anyone else fresh off the pill!?
DaniX91 · 16/07/2019 18:03

@Abi58 thankyou. Ooh I hope u get to see the heartbeat! I'll be thinking of u at 6.45, please update us as soon as u can 😊

Abi58 · 16/07/2019 17:56

@DaniX91 so happy for you 💕 definitely a relief ☺️

Mines at 6.45 getting nervous now! I'm 6+3 really hopeful to see a heartbeat 😍

I reckon this will end up being internal

@Sunshine8888 thank you I will ☺️

@whatsthecraic91 thank you so much ☺️ it's the dizziness that's really throwing me I can't concentrate feels like everything is moving and spinning

Fun is definitely the way to go ☺️ it's so easy for planning to take over so it's good you're able to take a step back to just enjoy each other and hopefully make a baby in the process 😍

whatsthecraic91 · 16/07/2019 17:34

@Abi58 aww I’m sorry you are feeling rough! It will all be worth it tho! Ah great hope your scan goes well that’s so exciting!

I am CD11 so we have been DTD everyday since CD7 and are going to right though my fertile week. I’m not doing OPKs or anything this cycle cos I drove myself mental last month! We are just trying to have fun with it at the minute even tho is cycle 7 I am trying to chill out a bit Confused

@DaniX91 that’s great so happy your scan went well! I’m sure you are relieved after all the pains etc - such reassurance!

@sunshine8888 fingers crossed for us both this cycle 🤞🏼

DaniX91 · 16/07/2019 17:32

@Sunshine8888 aw thankyou!

Sunshine8888 · 16/07/2019 17:29

Congrats @DaniX91 that’s a relief. Good luck @Abi58 let us know how it goes

DaniX91 · 16/07/2019 16:41

@Abi58 thankyou 😘 it's just such a relief knowing everything is going how it should be.
So excited for the next scan now.
What time is yours? I'm sure everything will be good😊 how far along are u now? I was dreading the internal scan but it was actually fine, much better than the internal examination I had to have on Friday!

Abi58 · 16/07/2019 16:38

@DaniX91 aw yay so so happy for you! I bet you're so happy 😁

I'm so nervous about mine later 🤞🏻

DaniX91 · 16/07/2019 16:29

@whatsthecraic91 @Abi58 just had the scan and everything is how it should be 😊 saw the gestinational sac and the yolk sac so all good, measuring 5wks 2days which is spot on based on ovulation date. Got another scan on 30th July to see baby!

Abi58 · 16/07/2019 14:34

@Sunshine8888 yes I did sorry my typing was really bad 🙈
Got pregnant that first cycle, unfortunately was an early miscarriage but then caught the following month, so so lucky 💕

I tracked everything but only because when I stopped the pill I had no idea what my body was doing and it drove me mad, so I used cheap opks, temped and around the right time checked my Cm. We always dtd regularly so didn't change our habits it was more so I knew nothing was possible so I didn't get excited and then disappointed and spend loads on tests if I hadn't even ovulated.

🤞🏻 for you

Sunshine8888 · 16/07/2019 14:25

@Abi58 did you mean to say you stopped mid March? And were regular from May? It didn’t take too long for you to fall pg then. Were you tracking ovulation?

Abi58 · 16/07/2019 12:55

@DaniX91 thank you ☺️ hoping it's just a phase for a few days 🙈 feel like I can't do anything was worried driving to work 😭

Aw sorry to hear you've been having pains but glad to hear your levels doubled and the pain has eased! I've been getting sharp twinges hoping it's just the stretching. How far are you today?

Let us know how you get on? 🤞🏻😍

DaniX91 · 16/07/2019 12:51

@whatsthecraic91*@Abi58 thanks for checking in 😊 how are u both doing? @Abi58I*'m sorry that you're feeling so rubbish!
I've got a scan at 3.45 today cos I had one sided pains so been backwards and forwards to the hospital. I had blood tests on Friday and Sunday and the levels doubled so that's good and the pains have stopped so now I'm just looking forward to the scan!

Abi58 · 16/07/2019 12:22

@Sunshine8888 I was on the pill for 12 years stopped kid mark he no withdrawal bleed (had spotting earlier in that pack as missed a few and stopped mid pack after that) 1st bleed was the first weekend in May then 28days after 🤞🏻 you won't have long to wait!

Sunshine8888 · 16/07/2019 12:19

@Abi58 aww that doesn’t sound nice but very exciting news about your scan!!

Came off the pill on 1 June - had withdrawal bleed but haven’t had AF yet. It’s been about six weeks now but I know it can take some time to settle down. I haven’t had a proper period since I was 16 (some 15 years ago). Maybe the 1 July thing wasn’t ovulation then! Who knows. I don’t think I have any way of telling anything until AF arrives so I could be waiting a while

Abi58 · 16/07/2019 09:38

@whatsthecraic91
Aw thanks for asking.
Feeling rough tbh constantly nauseous and dizzy. Was sick yesterday and today have a pounding headache dizzy nauseous 😭 and so tired 😭

Got my scan tonight though so excited!! 😁

@whatsthecraic91 how are you??

@DaniX91 how are you feeling?

@Sunshine8888 🤞🏻 for you you should be due af 14 days after ovulation. How long have you been off the pill? Have you been regular? When was your last period? You can get patches of fertile Cm throughout your cycle so for some it's not reliable as predicting ovulation

Sunshine8888 · 16/07/2019 08:50

@whatsthecraic91 no I haven’t and I don’t think I’m going to unless I’m getting really obvious signs. I feel like I was obsessing last week and a weekend away has made me feel a bit more relaxed. Just going to keep waiting for either AF or strong pg signs... and if nothing by September I’ll go to the doctors re lack of AF.

Random question but are itchy nipples a sign of AF coming? I’ve never had it before and it’s really unpleasant!

Hi @kmxoo94 I think I would wait a few days to see if AF comes and if not maybe retest then?

whatsthecraic91 · 16/07/2019 07:46

@Sunshine8888 did you retest yet?

@DaniX91 & @Abi58 how are you both? All going well?

kmxoo94 · 15/07/2019 15:07

Hi all! Can i join in here too please :) I have recently came off the pill, couple of months ago. Started trying properly last month, used cb digital ovulation kit and got my peak on the 27th last month, AF was due 13th/14th i believe. No sign at the moment. I have done 3 tests but all negative. Not sure if I am testing too early and AF is just late. Any advice welcome x

Sunshine8888 · 15/07/2019 14:55

@whatsthecraic91 yes it would be due today if regular - nothing yet.
