Hi ladies!
As my DH and i habe decided to TTC I took the last pill in my packet on 17th December and had my breakthrough bleed start on the 22nd and end on the 26th. Now the wait begins to see whether my cycle snaps back to normal and of course whether I concieve! I had been on microgynon for circa 3 years.

Is anyone else in a similar position and entering 2019 pill free!? I thought this would be a good place to track and share our experiences as they happen!

@Abi58 Bless u ❤️ will u see a heartbeat at that gestation?
Well Flo and Fitbit both predicted AF as today but I didn't ovulate until cd19, I'm now 10dpo so cd29 and I'm thinking AF will now be due around the 8th. Would u agree?

Abi58 · 04/07/2019 19:12

@DaniX91 apparently you might be able to see a heartbeat so hope so 🤞🏻 we wanted it at over 7 weeks but had to reschedule. I might go for another in between that and the 12 weeks 😁

Abi58 · 04/07/2019 19:13

@DaniX91 it's hard to say as everyone is different but the general rule of thumb is 14 days after ov so if you're 10dpo today I'd say the 8th sounds close! :) 🤞🏻 are you trying to hold out testing?

DaniX91 · 04/07/2019 19:20

Just checked Flo and last month I only got to 10dpo then AF came the next day, so maybe she'll show tomorrow 😔 that was the first month after stopping cerelle. Last pill on May 10th, solid smiley on clear blue opk on May 25th then AF on June 6th. So really I was lucky that my body went back to normal so quickly but a 10 day LP doesn't seem good.
Yea I'd like to try and wait til Monday if AF hasn't shown 🤞🏼

DaniX91 · 04/07/2019 19:23

@Abi58 sorry just realised that you'd sent two messages!
Aww it'd be lovely if u saw the heartbeat that early on😊 I'd definitely go for another inbetween!

Abi58 · 04/07/2019 19:37

@DaniX91 by what others others have said I'm wondering if we are setting ourselves up for more stress, we want to see it before we tell parents and the way it has fallen we either tell my dad the weekend we wanted to have the scan or not for another month or so. The scan is only a couple of days before we are 7 weeks so hopefully it's ok but a few have said they went early and the sonographer scared them saying they couldn't see it or it was measuring smaller 🙈🤞🏻 all goes ok! Otherwise will just be worrying!

Ah some do have shorter so don't worry 😁 🤞🏻 af doesn't show
That's some great will power!!

DaniX91 · 04/07/2019 20:04

@Abi58 yea I've heard a few people say they wouldn't have an early scan for these reasons but I think it's each to their own! Hopefully it's all positive for u😊.
AF will probably arrive in the morning, hopefully not though

JaggyJumper · 04/07/2019 20:52

I’m still here feeling crampy but nothing actually happening as much as I would love to be pregnant right now I even want AF to come so I can track properly

Sunshine8888 · 05/07/2019 07:07

Decided to test this morning as I have a gin festival and a wedding this weekend. BFN as suspected but at least I know and can have some drinks now without worrying I’m doing harm! Happy Friday all

whatsthecraic91 · 06/07/2019 08:13

Tested this morning at 12DPO - BFN, that’s me out isn’t it?

DaniX91 · 06/07/2019 08:24

@whatsthecraic91 hey, how are u? Nope cos AF hasn't arrived. I've read on here that people haven't had bfp until a few days past their missed period so try not to be negative 😊 x

DaniX91 · 06/07/2019 08:32

@whatsthecraic91 which test did u use? Maybe it wasn't sensitive enough x

whatsthecraic91 · 06/07/2019 08:46

@DaniX91 I’m ok, not as upset as I thought I would have been didn’t shed a tear, I’m just like whatever Angry I’ve accepted it.

I’ve had 2 occasions where I’ve wiped and had a bit of pink and on and off cramps and extreme tiredness - I really thought this was my month.

I used a FRER, it couldn’t have been more negative if it tried.

How are you? Anymore symptoms? Are you going to test soon?

DaniX91 · 06/07/2019 10:17

@whatsthecraic91 that could be implantation? I've read that implantation can happen up to 12dpo and if it was, u wouldn't get a positive yet. 🤞🏼 for u. Suppose it's best to think you're not then be pleasantly surprised if it happens.
I'm ok thanks, still been having the fanny daggers off and on😂 and feel soooo tired but that's it. The sides of my boobs randomly felt bruised yesterday if I knocked them but that could be nothing.
I might go and get an FRER tonight if AF doesn't show or I might try to wait and see if there's still nothing tomorrow x

whatsthecraic91 · 06/07/2019 19:01

Ah AF has arrived absolutely gutted.

@DaniX91 I have everything crossed for you, keep me updated!! xx

Abi58 · 06/07/2019 19:08

@whatsthecraic91 sorry to hear af turned up 🙁 make sure you look after yourself 💕

@DaniX91 🤞🏻 let us know how you get on!
Fanny daggers still get me 😂
My boobs feel bruised (only way I could think to describe them) like they've been in a boxing match!

DaniX91 · 06/07/2019 19:51

@whatsthecraic91 aw I'm absolutely gutted for u. Just think that this is the first day of a fresh cycle, another chance. Easy for me to say I know.
Thankyou so much x

@Abi58 u still get fanny daggers? 😂
Mine seem to be mostly on the left side.
So I've literally just said to OH that when I press on my boobs, they feel bruised on the sides (especially the right one) but I'm really trying to not get my hopes up!
I do feel very tired but that could just be the heat.
How are u feeling today?x

Abi58 · 06/07/2019 20:09

@DaniX91 a little bit 😂
Yeah bruised is definitely the right description! 🤞🏻
It's not been as warm today here
I'm good thanks you, getting lots of symptoms but nothing too major if that makes sense.
Waves of nausea
Stomach upset 🙈
Spots and oily skin
Really bloated (look 6 months!)
Sleepy (I could have gone to bed about 1pm and definitely could now 🙈)
Boobs tender like bruised
Daggers and odd cramps twinge but eased off a lot
😂

DaniX91 · 06/07/2019 20:12

@Abi58 whereabouts are u? It's only been about 18 here but I've kept having hot flushes 😂.
It's not good that you're not feeling great but I suspect it's strangely making u feel better?

Abi58 · 06/07/2019 22:18

@DaniX91 Warwickshire how about you? To be fair I've been in shorts all day 😂
True I'm trying to keep feeling myself that 😂

DaniX91 · 06/07/2019 22:30

I'm in Durham. Would be lovely to have this weather all the time wouldn't it!
What is your due date or do u not know yet?

Abi58 · 06/07/2019 23:02

@DaniX91 it would be amazing!
According to my last period I'm due 7th March ☺️

DaniX91 · 07/07/2019 09:50

Morning everyone 😊 hope you're all well
I'm currently in a massive state of shock.. Woke up at 6 and did an FRER, left it for 3mins and when I checked there were 2 lines staring back at me!
I'm so happy, excited, nervous, worried, scared!
I had a slight feeling I was pregnant but didn't want to get my hopes up with it only being cycle 2 so tried to ignore it.

I'm 13dpo and my symptoms have been - (doi might not be exact for each one)

2 to 5dpo - cold symptoms, runny nose and lots of sneezing
8dpo - fanny daggers as we've named them 😂 still getting that now
Boobs feeling bruised at the sides but only now and again
This past week I've been really tired but blamed work/the heat.
Although I'm so tired, I haven't managed a wink of sleep since 6am 😂.

Anyone else fresh off the pill!?

Abi58 · 07/07/2019 10:02

Ahhhh @DaniX91 congratulations!!! So happy for you!!!
