TTC after the pill? Ugh!

Hi guys

I’m really new to this and nervous about posting my own thread so please forgive me if I’ve posted in the wrong place!

I came off the pill (cerelle) 41 days ago - 16th January and since then haven’t had AF or withdrawal bleed.

I feel sick every single morning, cramps constantly for a month since coming off, mood swings and worst of all bloated ALL THE TIME and put on over a stone since stopping the pill! (I really don’t have room to do that!)!

Took a preg test this evening and negative.

Please is anyone in the same situation? Feel like I’m going crazy and although my DP is on board he’s more ‘wait and see, stop stressing’!

Morning ladies!
I’m feeling down this morning 😞, so once again I have had an LH surge without the temperature increase so no ovulation again 😩!
I’m so angry at myself for not researching this before wanting a baby, I would have come off the pill a year ago had I known it would take so long to start ovulating again! (To be honest I was young when I went on the pill and never understood that it actually stopped you ovulating and later I never thought to question it, just something I took every morning)

So generally feeling a bit low today. How are you all getting on?

Mind I do have a very odd taste in my mouth and haven’t eaten anything spicy or anything, just toast and some pancakes last night

Comps83 · 06/03/2019 11:49

No I stupidly put it in the main bin. Thinking I’d get another line next time . I was convinced at the time but now think my eyes were playing tricks . Think I need to be more patient

@comp83 do you have a picture of the test? Can see if I can see something? Yes that’s true, at least there’s a (small) silver lining!

Sorry meant not really to symptoms but yes TTC

Comps83 · 06/03/2019 09:32

Not really
Sore boobs but that’s not unusual
I’m still not used to he whole not having a period every month thing, so I was testing. Quite a lot even when I was on the pill
Certain I saw something on ydays test though
On the positive tho. I’d just booked to go to York this sat so at least I don’t have to awkwardly try to hide the fact I wasn’t drinking

@TTc2019BabyNo1 I’ve definitely read that bloating is a sign of ovulating! Plus I think dtd just before ovulating is the best time to do it so you may have caught it! I haven’t been doing OPKs as not sure I can handle negative ones of those too! Just gonna try and forget about it for another few days. Though my symptoms are now coming back with cramps, dry eyes when I take contact lenses out (never had this before???), feeling sick and I’m sure my boobs have grown a bit but could just be hormone changes!

@comps83 are you TTC? 3 weeks is still early so don’t worry! I’ve been off 7 weeks today! Are you having any symptoms?

I was on mini pill and expected a withdrawal bleed like the combined pill. This is the first time I’ve been on the mini . 3 weeks off it and no bleed. Quite annoyed . Never liked the mini pill but had to go on it due to migraines
Was convinced I could see a line yday afternoon in my test but no amount of squinting can see anything in the test I took this morning

TTc2019BabyNo1 · 06/03/2019 08:28

@AllTheGlitter
I guess so...! Although I thought i’d Ovulated a couple of weeks ago and that didn’t work out so not holding out much hope...! Annoyingly we didn’t dtd on Monday when I got the positive opk as hubby wasn’t well, so not promising.
I have horrendous bloating at the moment - anyone know if this is a sign of ovulation?

I’m so sorry about your BFN 😞, did you do an opk in the end? It may be your attempting to ovulate so keep doing opk’s!! Good luck!!

@TTc2019BabyNo1 does that mean you’re now in the TWW?! I really hope you get some positive news soon! I did a FRER this morning and was negative so back to the wait for me

OP posts:
TTc2019BabyNo1 · 04/03/2019 14:22

Yes, I was the same, thinking I was now dead inside! Hopefully we’re working! Let us know how you get on with the tests!

This was my opk this morning, strong positive 😃

Going to do an OPK tonight and then a FRER with first morning wee tomorrow to cover all bases! Hoping one of them is positive at least!

Hopefully you’re definitely ovulating, how exciting! I’m so glad I’ve finally had some changes, was getting so down in the dumps and wondering if I’m broken!

TTc2019BabyNo1 · 04/03/2019 12:42

@AllTheGlitter
Oh no!! That doesn’t sound nice, it may sound silly but have you taken a test? Perhaps you ovulated a few weeks ago and these are pregnancy symptoms?

If you are ovulating now, I think we may be ovulation twins as I have just done an OPK and got a really positive line (much stronger than I got a few weeks ago when I thought I was ovulating)! And I got stabbing pains and twinges yesterday either side of my hip bones, so fingers crossed I actually ovulate this time! No sickness though, sorry!!

Morning ladies! So now I’ve woken up today and feel absolutely awful, was almost sick as soon as I woke up and my head is banging and have stomach cramps. Feel hot all over and just not good. :( Not sure if you can feel like this when you’re ovulating or if I’m making stuff up?

Either way I’m going to take it as a positive sign as surely it means either that my body is regulating or I’m ovulating - will see what happens though and try to dtd tonight! Also got backache and I’m tired but I have been up with dss since 4am so could be that Hmm

TTc2019BabyNo1 · 03/03/2019 19:31

@AllTheGlitter
Yay exciting update!!! I actually have no clue as I had it and thought I had ovulated but hadn’t! I would just DTD as and when you can! Can’t hurt to try now :)!!

AllTheGlitter · 03/03/2019 18:21

Does that mean I should dtd tonight or wait until I’m having it more regularly??

Got my first positive opk today nearly 2 weeks exactly since stopping the pill hopefully I am actually ovulating and my body isnt playing tricks !

ReaganSomerset · 01/03/2019 13:45

I don't remember ever having sore boobs if that helps? Hormones affect us all differently.

Good luck with your journeys, both of you.

TTc2019BabyNo1 · 01/03/2019 10:36

@AllTheGlitter
😂 lol!! What are we like? Wishing for painful boobs, whatever next!! Keep us posted with your progress, it’s good to hear how people are getting on when in the same boat 😊

@ttc2019babyno1 I get you! I have never had sore boobs either! I’ve been prodding them and don’t know if I just make up the fact they are sore! Definitely isn’t something I’ve noticed :(

TTc2019BabyNo1 · 01/03/2019 09:58

@ReaganSomerset
Thank you, that’s really interesting. I have had some EWCM which I never had whilst on the pill so had never seen it before (was so happy when I saw it!), and had a few pains in various places but the thing that is worrying is that everyone seems to get sore boobs, either when pregnant or when AF is coming and I have not had even a hint of a sore boob!! Which is leading me to think there is something wrong. It’s now day 75 and counting... 🙄
