All who’s ttc april 2018 - are these pregnancy’s symptoms or something else??

[Rose2887]

^^So been off the contraceptive pill for 3 weeks roughly maybe by just over.. had a bleed for 3 days which was obviously the withdrawal bleed, have had nothing since and have done the deed rather a lot
Anyway, the passed week and a half I’ve constant cramps, contraction type pains and sore boobs, less of an appetite and quite tired... my stomach seems to be rumbling a lot too
It’s too early to take a test but problem is I’m not sure when I would be due a period as can’t remember when i last had one.... but I think it would of been over a month ago... trouble is we were only a couple of pills into a new pack when we decided to start trying so haven’t a clue where I am... went to coop and bought a pregnancy test some cheap early one and it was negative but I feel like somethings not right!!! Not sure what to think or what to do but feel like I’m driving myself crazy wondering.....

This sounds like the evil bastard I like to refer to as the contraceptive come down.

I had EXACTLY the same last month. Drove myself mad. It’s quite common for your body to mimic pregnancy as it starts producing natural hormones again.

Go with 4 weeks from the 1st day of your withdrawal bleed for now until your periods get back to normal (or you get pregnant!) and stop googling. Honestly, you’ll drive yourself mad.

Good luck :)

Yeah this is just your body coming off the artificial hormones. It’s extremely common when coming off the pill to have loads of weird pregnancy-type symptoms. It’s not pregnancy related though, just hormones

I’m not so sure it’s withdrawal... but we will see!!! Just not sure how long I should leave until I test...
Cramps and boobs are even more sore today xx
