Hello everyone, I'm making this post because I'm getting a little stressed out 😬

so last year I was on the pill which I've been on for almost 8 years now and I fell pregnant , I forgot to take it about 3 days and BANG! Baby! Unfortunately the baby did not make it and it's a year later now and I'm trying for my first child again.
So.. I went back to taking the pill but 2 month ago I've stopped taking it and ttc however I got my first withdrawal bleed but nothing else, I'm also keeping track of my ovulation and it doesn't seem to be occurring at all. It's so stressful that when I didn't try- I became pregnant. Now I'm trying and it's a lot harder. Has anyone been through the same situation? Also the pill I was on was Cerazette and I've heard some pretty bad stories about it stopping you becoming fertile so now I've worried myself more ☹️☹️ any help would be appreciated ❤️

Hi Laura,
so sorry for your loss.
I came off the mini pill 7 weeks ago, nearly 8 now and I hadn't bleed at all in that time but I read about raspberry leaf tea helping to bring on a period so I tried it and within 2 days bam I had my period... I know this could be coincidence but anything was worth a try.

Good luck Thanks

Hi ke11y86 and thank you for your advice! Wow I'm going to try that, like I said anything that will help. Hopefully it brings it on, I have been feelings a bit 'urgh' today. Sore nipples and breasts. So hopefully 🤞🏽🤞🏽

I hear ya,
I spent 7 weeks wondering why I hadn't bled/if I could be pregnant, I had so many symptoms, incredibly sore nipples/boobs the whole time, nausea, sensitivity to different smells, feeling really full after eating only a few mouthfuls of food... but when I did hpt they were negative after negative so then I started thinking ok I'm not pregnant but I need this period to come lol so I started looking into ways to help bring it on and so I came across the tea, it's inexpensive and actually tastes really nice so worth a try.

And as for my "symptoms" I just put that down to the hormones going crazy due to coming off the pill.
I feel better now as I can move forward and start tracking my cycle! Exciting times Grin

Off to the shop now for me tea! I'll have to update you if it works. I went to see a doctor today and she wasn't much helpful, just told me some ovulation predictors don't work so I'm going to take your advice! 😊😊 x

Fingers crossed and yes please do let me know how you get on xxx

Hi just a quick reply- so I've been filling myself up with the raspberry leaf tea but no AF yet ☹️ I've been to docs today and they said to wait another couple of months and if nothing happens then to go back. On the other hand I told my mum I'm trying for a baby and she is super happy so hopefully things get a move on soon haha x

@ke11y86 I just did a test today and it's hard to show but I think I see a faint second line!

Help!

I can definitely see something! I was just going to ask if have you done a test 🤞🏼❤️ did you do it this evening?

LauraBrown1 · 29/11/2018 21:11

Hello! Yes I did it just an hour ago at 8pm after I came in from work (it's late I know to test) so I'm going to wait a couple more days are try again. I'm trying not to get hopes up too much but I'm feeling good. And oddly enough you are the first person I've told! So imagine if it's a positive! I'll keep you updated 😊 xxx

ke11y86 · 29/11/2018 22:47

Eek exciting! I'd definitely test again in a couple of days if you can wait that long! So happy for you, keep me posted xxx

ke11y86 · 29/11/2018 22:48

My app is telling me I'm due to test in 10 days but I think that's too soon 🤔 I'll see how I feel haha xxx

LauraBrown1 · 29/11/2018 22:53

@ke11y86 you never know! I've only ever been testing for ovulation but out of the blue thought why not try a pregnancy test just for the sake of it lol. Good luck for you and I'm looking forward to hear from you 🤞🏽 xx

I've not really bothered with opk just yet, only been able to track from this month with absent periods but I'm entering all my details into the app and tracking cm too so we will see. Let me know when you do another test 😘 I've got everything crossed for you xxx

LauraBrown1 · 01/12/2018 09:38

Hello everyone. It seems I cannot post anymore pics as I've reached my limit for the day but I did a first response test and... I'm pregnant!' ❤️❤️
