Anyone else fresh off the pill!?

[peaky297]

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!

It's been about 35 days since my last pill and haven't had another period since the final one controlled by the pill.

Is this a positive OPK. Or am I just seeing things I want to see 😫

Definitely positive

@ttc2019babyno1 Yes we are very much in the same boat then. Ive also had no signs of a period since my withdrawal bleed and no signs of anything that points to ovulation either. Its such a waiting game. We should potentially see AF around the same time IF our cycles are 28 days but who knows! Xx

I don’t do OPK’s but from what I have read the test line needs to be as dark or darker than the control line so looks like you’re coming up to ovulation but not quite there yet.

Might be worth seeing if one of the other discussions says more about it

Hi ladies!
Just thought id share my two pence worth...
I came off the pill (microgynon 30) in september. I had my withdrawal bleed as normal, then come today...still nothing since! Ive had an increase in acne, but other than that, no symptoms to speak of. Went to my doctor to be put on provera so i can go in for bloods to see whats happening. Makes trying to conceive impossible when youre not ovulating! I was advised to wait 3 months to see if my periods returned naturally (they didnt) so now im at the doctors to see what we can do.
Best of luck to you all!

Hi ladies

I have been off my pill for 44 days today and I have had nothing at all, not even a break through bleed. I had 2 weeks of sore boobs in December and I feel bloated on some days but not others.
I have no idea what is going on with me, I just hope everything is normal. I can't go to the docs until the end of Feb.

I hope those with symptoms get a BFP soon 😊

Aww ladies that's so rubbish! My friend was in a similar position, but after 6 months of being off it her periods returned and she is now regular, so don't lose hope!
I wish all of this was explained to us before going on the pill. After I have (hopefully!) had children I think I'll opt for a non-hormonal coil. There's no way that I want to take the pill again!

I've also not had spotting or anything! It's so weird. Is there a certain amount of time you should wait before seeing the dr?

Hi! I came off my pill (10 years on micro gym in 30) on 22 December, and just had tons of egg white mucus last week, followed by a slight spot. I’m 34 and DH is 37, trying from when I came off, no kits or anything as yet, just enjoying practising! We don’t have any kids yet so excited to start trying, but nervous due to our ages xxx

@peachypetite
I've been reading about not seeing anything. 90 days apparently before you can see a doctor - I might give mine a call this week and speak to the nurse .

FWIW I've heard that when you come off the pill, even if you don't get a 'normal' period straight away it doesn't mean you're not ovulating.

So I took another pregnancy test on Saturday morning as I still have symptoms and it was negative. I have really sore boobs, my nipples look different and my skin is also playing up. I also have bouts of indigestion and feeling a bit sick. It seems no-one who came off the pill at a similar.time to me has similar symptoms so I am super confused now! I'm going to try and wait it out now to see what happens as tests are so expensive and logically falling pregnant and displaying symptoms so soon seems so unlikely.i hate feeling like I don't know my own body!

I have had bad cramps and just a feeling of uncomfortableness down low and a sore back for the last 3 days now. At first I thought it was ovulation but now I’m not sure what it is! Leaving a pee sample in the doctors after work to rule anything out! If I had known what being on the pill done to your body I would never have taken it!! I’m so scared that the pill has masked any problems.

Hi all - Hope it's okay I join in!

Have DS who is 7, nexplanon for 4 years, nexplanon and loestrin for 9 months then rigevidon for 18 months(ish) I took my last pill (rigevidon) on 25th Dec, withdrawal bleed 28th - 2nd and now just waiting.

Have any of you felt any different over what could be ov? On Fri and Sat I was horribly bloated and had sensitive nips (CD14 and 15), Sun I had a pain on my right side for about 3 hours and then felt normal since.

No idea what my body is up to, trying to stay relaxed but already can't stop googling things! I'm taking seven seas trying for a baby pills and I've got fertility friend to help me track my cycle :)

@peaky297
You are not alone, I am in the same boat. I have all sorts of symptoms that make me think I'm going to have a period (not sure what AF means).
I have also taken tests to make sure one way or another etc. I have no idea what my body is up to either

Thought Id share....I came of microgynon in September and had a withdrawal bleed. Have had 4 periods now 3 of which were 28 day cycles and 1 was 31 days. I am currently on CD 5 and TTC#1 this month. Since coming off the pill I lost around 6 pounds,have a couple of monthly hormonal spots but feel 100% better!!!! So in tune with my body and much less moody! My periods are lighter now which is worrying me a bit but have been regular...wish me luck! Am 34 btw.

@gem1188 sorry to hear you are also.sufferninf, though it's also nice.to know I'm not alone! When Did you com3le off the pill?

Wow @Nextchapter19 you have given me hope! :)!!
It’s great you feel so good since coming off the pill, I hope that kicks in for me!
I’ve felt nothing since coming off, no signs of ovulating, no pains, nothing, I really hope I bleed this week! Fingers crossed, then I can actually check i’m Ovulating. If not, then I have no clue what my body is doing!

@Beddie11 how are you getting on? Any signs of anything yet?

X

@ttc2019babyno1 - nothing yet! Im the same, hoping for AF this week just so I know where I stand. If i dont see her this week then im going to test at the end of january just to rule that out also. I did test twice this weekend ( i dont even know why ) and they were both of course negative. No sore boobs no CM no nothing! Xx

@peaky297
I came off on 30th Nov. I know what you mean, at least I am not the only one. I'm sure there are lots of women in our position. Just keep thinking positive

UPDATE! So, after some unusually light cramping over the last day or so (warning, TMI alert!) I went to the loo and there is a small area of light pink blood, around the size of a pound coin. I just went again and now there is a bit more, the same colour. It is not enough that there is anything on the tissue when I wipe so It is super light.
I guess the million dollar question is... a very light period or implantation bleeding!? It's 9 days since I had a positive ovulation test. Any thoughts?

@peaky297
The gap between ovulation and period is usually 14days, so sounds like it could be implantation bleed.
Fingers crossed for you!

@peaky297 glad to hear something may be happening for you! Are u going to wait and see how it progresses or POAS? Xx

Thanks ladies! Nothing since so I'm taking that as a good sign!
@baddie11 I think I'll wait until the weekend. If a normal period hasn't come on by then I think I'll test. I'd love to do one now, but I think it would be pointless as it takes a few days for the pregnancy hormones to start building up, so it would be negative pregnant or not. Waiting game time !!
