Hi all, relarively new here,came on last month for some post pill cycle advice and discovered how many of us were suffering with post pill issues. Cut a long story short, I came off bcp end of jan, due to how crazy it made me. Was going to keep eye on my cycles, let it all settle down then consider next type of bc to use. Im 39 with one ds. Dp has a ds so no dc together. Never considered it an option as thought we were done with the baby years. I was only on the pill 6months and was always a 28 day girl before. Anyway last month i kept an eye out for signs of ov and we were careful around that time, then 'let our hair down' so to speak after what i thought wouldve been fw. Maybe a bit naive of me to think i would pop straight back into normal cycles. But i had my withdrawel bleed day 2 after last pill. Then first af bang on 28 days later so all ok. Followed the same pattern of being careful etc that month but no af. I started to think that maybe i had ov late and we hadnt been as careful as we shouldve been. Cue the bloating, extremely sore nipples, uterus pain and constant weeing. I did a hpt and got a bfn when i was around 7 days late (but that was going by my origional predicted ov/af date) but the bladder and pain situation got quite bad so i visited the Dr. I was booked in for bloods and to provide a urine sample as no UTI was found by the Dr, by this time i was an emotional mess with two bfn. The day i got my bloods taken etc i was cd51 and yep af arrived, very little for a day then one day of normal flow then one day of basically just pinkish cm.
Until then my dp was convinced i was UTD. Suprisingly we were ok about the prospect and actually started to get a bit excited at the thought of it. We admitted we werent really trying our best to prevent it happening and concluded it would actually be a positive rather than a negative. Anyway i got my af but had the tests anyway as i had managed to convince myself i had something terribly wrong. I looked back on the calender and realised that the peak of my pain /bloating /nipples symptoms were exactly 14 days prior to my af arriving so think it may actually have been me ov, didnt think this at the time as only ever noticed pms not pain, bloating etc at any other time in my cycle. Tbh both my dp and i were really disappointed that my af arrived and after more discussion decided we would just carry on dtd as and when and see what happens (not exactly ttc just not not ttc lol). I had already decided to pay a little more attention to my cycle, after the last month i just want to know what was going on with my post pill cycle more than anything. i called the dr for my results last week and my bloods are ok but my Dr wants to see me about my urine sample, cant see me until wednesday so now im crapping myself i have something wrong. Going by my pre pill 28day cycle and similar symptoms to last month i think i have ov and we have dtd over fw three times but im so worried and now think everything is such a mess. I dont really know the point of this thread but i suppose i just need to get it all out. Dp is super supportive and has been great but he just says if it was bad the dr would want to see me sooner and as my bloods 'are all within normal levels ' i shouldnt worry, so just a rant and a whinging post i suppose.
