TTC / Desogestrel Withdrawl Bleed

34 replies

FutureMrsSmith · 20/10/2019 17:07

Hi all,
Me and my partner are trying for baby #1.
I stopped taking the Desogestrel pill on the 13th October. Iv had period pains for the last 4/5 days but no bleed as yet.
I just wondered if anyone else had recently come off Desogestrel and how long they had period type symptoms before withdrawal bleeding?

@Hayley94 awh! Glad your doing well! Feeling ill is well worth it 😊

Hayley94 · 18/11/2019 20:19

I felt like AF was coming, bad period type pain. Yes all good here, had an early scan which put me back 6 days but seen the heartbeat ♥️. I'm feeling nauseous, fatigued, boobs are killing me, and I'm bloated! X

MrsCl19 · 18/11/2019 19:23

@MrsCl19 it's bitter sweet really! Could be a really good sign but then again it's not nice to have at the same time! 😂

@FutureMrsSmith how are you getting on??

I've just got thrush 😭😭 I've only had it once before and I was pregnant so hopefully it's been caused by an increase I hormones for period or ovulation 🤞🏼

Well you deserve a reward for loosing 3 stone!
I exercise 3/4 times a week and have a balanced diet, don't drink, don't smoke so I should be the perfect candidate 😂

Hayley94 · 12/11/2019 21:05

@FutureMrsSmith it will happen, just have faith. I lost 3 stone so really think that helped x

Amazing news @Hayley94 I am so pleased for you!!!!!
It's really reassuring to know you fell pregnant so quickly and there really is hope for us all. I have never wanted my period to come as badly as I do now 😂

Hayley94 · 12/11/2019 20:36

You definitely won't have been far from ovulation by the sounds of it, and every 2/3 days seems more than reasonable! My OH works away a few nights a week and sometimes lates so we are focusing on every other day. More so around the fertile window but not exclusively. Got to keep things sweet the remaining weeks of the month but just not as planned 😂 we are both relaxed about it all at the moment.

MrsCl19 · 12/11/2019 20:05

@FutureMrsSmith nope never, I was on the pill from about 15 because they were irregular.

I thought the same about ovulation and just as my line was nearly as dark as the other I ran out and then couldn't be bothered to do it anymore so we're just dtd ever other or 3rd day 😂😂😂

I had cramping first week off the pill, then I'm sure I ovulated (EWCM and OPK testing and a pain in the left side) 17 days later. Then a week of cramping and awfully sore nipples. Cramping had gone but the sore nipples are still present. Used a FRER test at what I think is 13DPO so assuming it's a true negative. If period hasn't come in a week or so I'll test again just to be sure. Like you say I may not get the period and just fall pregnant!
We're your cycles regular previously?

OP posts:
MrsCl19 · 12/11/2019 19:11

@FutureMrsSmith ooooh! Have you had and symptoms of either?

With my first I didn't have af for 5 months and got pregnant before my first one so I'm so hoping it happens like that again I didn't find out till 5 weeks and it made them first 12 so much quicker

@MrsCl19 I'm the same!
1 month today was my last pill.
Have done a PH test which was negative so it's just a case of waiting.....

MrsCl19 · 12/11/2019 18:17

@FutureMrsSmith I'm still waiting on my first af after the pill coming up 4 weeks now so 🤞🏼 how are you??

Best of luck ladies!
@Hayley94 remember you're not out until AF arrives 😘
@Deli111 seems quite common not to have withdrawl on Desogestrel by the sounds of it. My symptoms have completely gone. I'm going to do OPK every few days until AF arrives see what's going on! OH is going away for a week with work next week - great! 😂

Hiya, I came off mini pill on 4th October and have yet to have any kind of bleed at all! So frustrating. I’ve also had every symptom going and had pretty bad uterine cramping 4 days after coming off it. I did a test the other day but it was negative x

Hayley94 · 23/10/2019 17:00

@MrsCl19 I've been using OPK. I caved and tested but negative. I'll try again on Halloween x
