Anyone else about to take the plunge and stop bc pills?

[teachermummy2b]

Ive read another thread with interest about ttc after the pill & saw that a couple of posters were about to stop their bc pills so thought a new thread might be in order!
Im getting married in August & currently finishing my last packet of Yasmin. Excited & nervous all at the same time!

So who's with me?

Xx

Ok so have not heard about that one was is it suppise to do???

Hi freedom so if u have limited ewcm it helps with this and is suppose to regulate ur hormones. Only use it from cd1 to ovulation though as after thiS it has been linked to miscarriage

Hi all - just stopping by to see how things are going? Catnip hasn't been around for the last couple of days so have been a little bit lonely over on the other thread.

What strategies are you guys trying this month? (I know I've said this before but I think it was the conceive plus lube which helped us in the end...)

Sorry ladies, I've been on a hen wkend! How r u all doing- any updates?

No news here still early in my cycle. Doing clear blue ovluation test to see if that helps things. Off the greece for holidays.

Hi just u wait and see. This cycle using cbfm cd8 and have poas for 3 days. 3 lows as expected for this time in cycle. Am also taking 2000mg epo and will use conceive plus. I'm hoping my army will make this a success

Going to start dtd tomoz and shoot for eod till cd 21 assuming this is end of highs on cbfm. Hoping peak will b in there to

No news this end. Feeling hopeful as the ovia app says I'm ovulating so will wait and see.

Ooh Greece is lovely have a fantastic time freedom! Sometimes a holiday and switch off is the best thing. It seems like a lot of people conceive on holiday when theyre at their most relaxed.

katybear sounds like you've got this down to a science! Hopefully this will be the month

Hey catnip I hope ur right science it is

So im totally confused. Used clear blue opk yrsterday and had circle then tested this morning got staying smiley face how can this happen? Going from dead to peak ovulation over night?????

Hmm not sure freedom I think it does though :-)

Only 4 pills left for me! :)

Any updates from anyone else?

Hi all! Managed to get wi fi so have just read through your posts as I'm still on hols...we have decided to stop my pill as soon as we get back so last pill is on Sunday!!! So excited although I don't think I ovulate until early October, if then! Good luck to all coming off the pill soon, and those who are already off it xxx

Love bugs my last pill is on Sunday too! Be funny to see if we ovulate together! For timing reasons we are using protection until af comes though... I want to be in the game already!

That's great wanttobeamummy!!! I just hope my body isn't too messed up coming off the mini pill as I've read a lot on the internet about withdrawal bleeds and then no AF coming for months so I am just going to see what happens and enjoy the ride as much as possible! Not sure how my body will react to being pill free after 15 years so hoping that I don't gain weight/my skin is worse unless this is all pregnancy related! I'm hoping to keep my weight steady, keep up exercising daily and eat/drink better in preparation...and to be honest I'm excited about doing all this and just hope we don't have to wait too long! Let me know how you all get on symptom wise after coming off the pill, I'm curious to know what to possibly expect! Homeward bound now from hols and instead of the usual downer from having to come home after an amazing holiday I'm excited to start a new chapter from tomorrow xxx

Good luck lovebugs and wanttobe ! Hope to see you both on the pregnancy thread soon

What catnip said! We are doing our best to get the plunge pregnancy thread warmed up and running and can't wait for you all to join us!

Anymore updates to report??

Hope I will be on the plunge thread before Christmas! Will have to see how it goes I too been on the pill for 8yra without a break... Hope af is timely :)

Aw - fingers crossed! Am sure you will be xxx

Hi ladies, welcome to the world of ttc. I came off loestrin pill in may. Cycle 1, 51 days, cycles 2 25 days, cycle 3 34 days now on cycle 4. Have bought a cbfm as cycles a little all over the place as u can see since coming off pill.

I think last cycle was the first I ovulated as both last and this cycle have had ovulation pains didn't have this before.

It's defo a journey for me cycle 4 has been the best so far feel calmest so far and hoping this equal = a bfp but let's wait and see.

Gd luck ladies

Well it's the first day of no pill and I am super excited about what's ahead and although the timing wouldn't be perfect if it were to happen immediately, I just think what is meant to be will be and starting a family is more important than other things we worry about in life. Not quite sure what my body will do over the next few weeks and months but will keep you posted with any symptoms and updates xx

Hi Lovebugs, first day for me too! Going to try to use contraception til natural af appears as I have a professional exam next summer which I am trying to avoid being too pregnant for! Hurry up af, these 4 weeks are going to be long!

So on holidays and got wifi. Thought, ill take opk clear blue just in case. I did get a stay smiling face for 2 days alreafy last weem. Then tested yesterday got blank circle. No surprise there. Then today tested and got blinking smilie face. So confused. How do i get 2 peaks the 1 month. Beginning to wonder if its all just a big con to get us ttc to spend money. In any case dtd to night

So got my smile face last weekbthe on holidays this week and though id test for fun. Shocked when yesterday tested got blank circle no surprise thers but then got blinking smile face. 2 peaks in 1 month? Beginning to think opk just con to get ttc to spend money

Hi everyone! Thought I would drop in even though we're not ttc yet. I took my last pill (rigevidon) on 16th August, had my withdrawal bleed as normal a few days later, then 3 weeks after my last pill had what can only be described as EWCM! I'm dying for af to turn up so I know where i am, it's a nightmare taking tampons etc with me everywhere.
