Newbie alert TTC#1

[spicydaisy]

Hey everyone, been lurking for a while now so thought I would finally pop in

Not really sure how to do the stats thing but came off the pill end of November and been using an app on my phone to try and track things but have been feeling a fair few symptoms tired,grumpy, sore/ itchy (and bigger) boobs, bloated, constipated, cramping....AF is due on Sunday but got way too excited and tested today with a BFN

So really just wondered if anyone has had these symptoms when stopping the pill.....body feels like it's all over the place

Good morning! :)
Feel your pain exactly! Came off my pill in August and have been all over the place since - I had an initial 35 day cycle and then a 52 day cycle... currently on day 36 with sore and bigger boobs, nausea, bloated and 4 days worth of cramping with nothing happening - but a BFN too! :(

I know it can take a while for your body to regulate itself, but it stresses me that it takes so long haha :)

I'm in the same position as you, came off early December, no periods or any bleeding yet but I've got sore boobs, cramping (that was a couple of weeks ago, but no AF!), terrible mood swings and pretty bad nausea and the occasional dizzy spell.. not to mention barely being able to sleep, hence being up at this hour! I've tested BFN too, but I'm still holding out hope!

Thanks ladies, it's bloody hard being a woman sometimes

I genuinely didn't think I would get obsessed about it but have been reading a fair bit!! I've read that you should wait until AF is due before testing but don't wanna get my hopes up so we'll see......thanks again

MrsG, how are things? not spoken in a few days

Rachel.. They've been horrendous. Such extreme cramping yesterday evening, spotting .. Cocodamol, tramadol, tens machine and hot water bottle could not soothe me. I was beyond help. Spent the night watching the room spin because of the tramadol and tried to stop being sick. I didn't sleep at all! Bleeding very light today and in a lot of pain.. :(

Oh hun

maybe it's time for a trip to the doctors? my thoughts are with you, it sounds like an awful time just now xx

I'm just baffled by the whole thing.. I'm usually SO heavy (changing tampons every 2 hours) but I'm nt even messing a pad at the moment, but extreme pain! I've struggled to get control of it! :(
I just feel like I'm over reacting sometimes, like I'm going mad! :(

I don't think you're overreacting at all hun, not in the slightest! it's very shitty when your body is all messed up have you thought about the doctors? I'm off there tomorrow, gonna ask about coming off the pill and stuff xx

Hi! I'm in the same position too as this will will be my first! Never been on the pill as I'm not allowed to take it so have no experience of that.

Fingers crossed we both get bfps soon!

Thing is with coming off the pill Rachel, is it can literally take months and months - I came off 5 ,on the ago and my body is still a little messed up... Unfortunately they probably won't do an awful lot....?
I'm under the gynae doctors anyway, so just feel like the doctors won't do much? :(

that cramping doesn't sound right though I know I said I've had a bit of cramping but it sounds like it's been nothing compared to what you're experiencing

Hi, everyone, I'm in a similar boat. Came off the pill early Nov, withdrawal bleed a few days afterwards but nothing since. Occasional cramping but I put that down to bloating after all the Christmas festivities.
Worried it could take ages to get my periods under control, (or to even appear!) I wish I had come off earlier now as we wanted to get going straight away in the new year. Could kick myself now :(

So.. spotting for a week. Intense extreme pain sunday night (thought my womb was gonna fall out!) and then started bleeding so thought AF was on the way.. but it was only when I wiped and has now stopped. The pain is still quite sore, but not where near as bad as the weekend. Still feeling sick a lot of the time though.

Im usually realllly heavy and do have painful periods. Its just odd!

Rang GP this morning - got me in within the hour to rule out ectopic - which they dont think it is. Bu they did give me a blood test to test HcG. So fingers crossed I get an answer... If my HcG is raised, I have to go back to see if it is falling which would mean miscarriage or raising, which would mean I was pregnant, obviously... Only time will tell.

If im not pregnant, my body hates me and is just driving me mad!? :(

I'm really glad you've seen a doctor! fingers crossed you get an answer soon xx

Aww MrsG that sounds horrendous hopefully you get an answer and feel better soon big hugs x

I just wanna know either way... A close fiend of mine from school has just announced she is pregnant and I'm a little jealous... Even though I don't want kids just yet, or I thought I didnt??

Gonna get the results of my blood test tomorrow... I want to know now!? So I can get on with my life! Haha x

Yeah I know what you mean!! Haha it's human nature keep us posted il keep everything crossed for you xx

Fingers crossed there's a good result for you

How are you doing spicy? Any news yet?
Just about to head into work now and have a look on the system, at my bloods! Hate the waiting!

Negative blood test... My body just seems to like having long cycles and super short, painful periods. Ok. X

Morning MrsG nothing yet it's torture not really sure if we should still be trying or not but just gonna try relax and just go with the flow (pardon the pun )

Do you feel a bit better now you know?

That's the best part of babies - trying for them! :D have fun!
And yes.. I know where I stand now which is nicer :) we can also get back to DTD, hoorah!!! :) x

Hi ladies!
I've been reading through different threads for a while now! Thought I'd join in... Me and my DH decided to start TTC in December... I am due on my period on Saturday 17th Jan... I'm so excited to take a test! I have been feeling very emotional recently and keep getting mild pains in the stomach like I'm starting period. I have also noticed a very strange metallic taste in my mouth and my nipples have turned white?!?! Very strange! Has anyone else had similar symptoms?
