Symptoms of coming off pill And TTC

Hi

Very new on here and only first month ttc. I wondered if you lovely ladies could help me?

I came off pill (microgynon) after 15 years at the end of November and had a normal bleed. I felt fine until after we did on 19th December.

Since then I've had cramps in my ovaries, sometimes one side sometimes both, feel more tierd and going to the loo a lot. On 24th I had some weird pinky/brown discharge as well. I've had nothing like that since but the cramps (mild) haven't gone away. I also every few days feel like I'm about to start my period but nothing happens.

I don't think I'm pregnant tbh but will do a test in case but have any of you experienced these symptoms after stopping the pill and how long did they last for. They aren't painful just uncomfortable and I just want to come on now so I can start counting my cycle!

Thanks in advance Smile

I felt crap for about 3 months after coming off the pill and it took about that long until my cycle returned to normal. But once I past that initial phase I felt much better than I ever had done on the pill and conceived shortly after. Was very stressed at the time by the weird long post-pill cycles and megacramps.

Thanks that's good to know. When did you get your first period after coming off?

I came off my pill in November and I've had a withdrawal bleed and a full period since then. I was on noriday another mini pill.

I would say test test test Grin. Progesterone is very high coming off mini pills and I fell pregnant whilst still on microgynon before so it could be pregnancy!

I've always felt my cycle went straight back to normal with the mini pill compare to the combined!

I came off the pill in September & had an absolutely crappy pattern of bleeding. BUT I then fell pregnant in December, so never say never! That was whilst still having shitty random bleeds too. Good luck 🙂

Is Microgynon the mini pill? I don't know, I've always been on it and never had an issue on it. I did fall pregnant before on the pill, I missed a day but I've never ttc before, I was also only 25 then and I'm 32 now.

I won't test until end of next week at least. I'm not feeling nauseous or boobs aren't feeling sore which they did before so that's what makes me think it's just coming off pill symptoms.

Thanks for the advice though, really appreciate it.

Aah apologies it's not mini pill. I was on microgynon before changing to celeste which was the mini pill I fell pregnant on. I don't know why I always get them confused
