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 thanks 😊.
So I'm takin Seven Seas trying for a baby atm, should I just carry on with them or get some vitamins specifically for pregnancy?
Sorry for all the questions 😳

Abi58 · 07/07/2019 13:43

@DaniX91 I know! But you'll be fine 💕 not heard anything about that? Nhs has an advice page on what you can and can't eat.

www.nhs.uk/conditions/pregnancy-and-baby/foods-to-avoid-pregnant/

I think it's only unpasteurised to avoid so green top should be fine!

DaniX91 · 07/07/2019 13:37

@JaggyJumper thank you 😊

JaggyJumper · 07/07/2019 12:06

Congratulations ❤️

DaniX91 · 07/07/2019 11:18

@whatsthecraic91 thank you lovely 😘 I'm crossing absolutely everything I've got for this cycle to be the one for u!xx

whatsthecraic91 · 07/07/2019 11:01

@DaniX91 OMGGGGGG absolutely delighted for you Grin

That’s a great line you’ve got there - try not to worry Smile

DaniX91 · 07/07/2019 10:39

It's unreal how quickly the worry kicks in isn't it.
Have u heard anything about not being able to have green top milk?!

Abi58 · 07/07/2019 10:36

@DaniX91 don't try to compare as we may have implanted at different times and everyone's hcg levels rise differently (when I had my bloods done mine were doubling every 1.3 days which is a lot it's meant to double every 2-3 so again can cause a difference) not to mention the dye difference in the tests. You ARE pregnant congratulations!!! 💕

DaniX91 · 07/07/2019 10:09

@Sunshine8888 thank you so much! 😊

Sunshine8888 · 07/07/2019 10:08

Congratulations @DaniX91!!! What a great start to the day!

DaniX91 · 07/07/2019 10:07

@Abi58 thankyou 😘 do u think that line is ok for 13dpo? Your's looked so much darker at 13dpo.
Here we go with the worrying already 🤦🏼‍♀️.
Meant to add to the symptoms that I'm feeling very warm, been having hot flushed since yesterday.

Abi58 · 07/07/2019 10:02

Ahhhh @DaniX91 congratulations!!! So happy for you!!!

DaniX91 · 07/07/2019 09:51

doi meant to say dpo 🤦🏼‍♀️

DaniX91 · 07/07/2019 09:50

Morning everyone 😊 hope you're all well
I'm currently in a massive state of shock.. Woke up at 6 and did an FRER, left it for 3mins and when I checked there were 2 lines staring back at me!
I'm so happy, excited, nervous, worried, scared!
I had a slight feeling I was pregnant but didn't want to get my hopes up with it only being cycle 2 so tried to ignore it.

I'm 13dpo and my symptoms have been - (doi might not be exact for each one)

2 to 5dpo - cold symptoms, runny nose and lots of sneezing
8dpo - fanny daggers as we've named them 😂 still getting that now
Boobs feeling bruised at the sides but only now and again
This past week I've been really tired but blamed work/the heat.
Although I'm so tired, I haven't managed a wink of sleep since 6am 😂.

Anyone else fresh off the pill!?

@DaniX91 it would be amazing!
According to my last period I'm due 7th March ☺️

DaniX91 · 06/07/2019 22:30

I'm in Durham. Would be lovely to have this weather all the time wouldn't it!
What is your due date or do u not know yet?

Abi58 · 06/07/2019 22:18

@DaniX91 Warwickshire how about you? To be fair I've been in shorts all day 😂
True I'm trying to keep feeling myself that 😂

DaniX91 · 06/07/2019 20:12

@Abi58 whereabouts are u? It's only been about 18 here but I've kept having hot flushes 😂.
It's not good that you're not feeling great but I suspect it's strangely making u feel better?

Abi58 · 06/07/2019 20:09

@DaniX91 a little bit 😂
Yeah bruised is definitely the right description! 🤞🏻
It's not been as warm today here
I'm good thanks you, getting lots of symptoms but nothing too major if that makes sense.
Waves of nausea
Stomach upset 🙈
Spots and oily skin
Really bloated (look 6 months!)
Sleepy (I could have gone to bed about 1pm and definitely could now 🙈)
Boobs tender like bruised
Daggers and odd cramps twinge but eased off a lot
😂

DaniX91 · 06/07/2019 19:51

@whatsthecraic91 aw I'm absolutely gutted for u. Just think that this is the first day of a fresh cycle, another chance. Easy for me to say I know.
Thankyou so much x

@Abi58 u still get fanny daggers? 😂
Mine seem to be mostly on the left side.
So I've literally just said to OH that when I press on my boobs, they feel bruised on the sides (especially the right one) but I'm really trying to not get my hopes up!
I do feel very tired but that could just be the heat.
How are u feeling today?x

Abi58 · 06/07/2019 19:08

@whatsthecraic91 sorry to hear af turned up 🙁 make sure you look after yourself 💕

@DaniX91 🤞🏻 let us know how you get on!
Fanny daggers still get me 😂
My boobs feel bruised (only way I could think to describe them) like they've been in a boxing match!

whatsthecraic91 · 06/07/2019 19:01

Ah AF has arrived absolutely gutted.

@DaniX91 I have everything crossed for you, keep me updated!! xx

DaniX91 · 06/07/2019 10:17

@whatsthecraic91 that could be implantation? I've read that implantation can happen up to 12dpo and if it was, u wouldn't get a positive yet. 🤞🏼 for u. Suppose it's best to think you're not then be pleasantly surprised if it happens.
I'm ok thanks, still been having the fanny daggers off and on😂 and feel soooo tired but that's it. The sides of my boobs randomly felt bruised yesterday if I knocked them but that could be nothing.
I might go and get an FRER tonight if AF doesn't show or I might try to wait and see if there's still nothing tomorrow x

whatsthecraic91 · 06/07/2019 08:46

@DaniX91 I’m ok, not as upset as I thought I would have been didn’t shed a tear, I’m just like whatever Angry I’ve accepted it.

I’ve had 2 occasions where I’ve wiped and had a bit of pink and on and off cramps and extreme tiredness - I really thought this was my month.

I used a FRER, it couldn’t have been more negative if it tried.

How are you? Anymore symptoms? Are you going to test soon?

DaniX91 · 06/07/2019 08:32

@whatsthecraic91 which test did u use? Maybe it wasn't sensitive enough x
