TTC after the pill? Ugh!

[AllTheGlitter]

Hi guys

I’m really new to this and nervous about posting my own thread so please forgive me if I’ve posted in the wrong place!

I came off the pill (cerelle) 41 days ago - 16th January and since then haven’t had AF or withdrawal bleed.

I feel sick every single morning, cramps constantly for a month since coming off, mood swings and worst of all bloated ALL THE TIME and put on over a stone since stopping the pill! (I really don’t have room to do that!)!

Took a preg test this evening and negative.

Please is anyone in the same situation? Feel like I’m going crazy and although my DP is on board he’s more ‘wait and see, stop stressing’!

@TTc2019BabyNo1 thank you 😊 thought it was just me my partner said he wasn't sure if he cud see a line it not ! no symptoms just took a test because I'm impatient !

@AllTheGlitter thank you 😊

Quite surprised it happened so quick tho still won't believe it until I take a test in the morning

No denying it now got my bfp...was only off the pill 2 weeks and I conceived so there is hope and the pill isn't all doom and gloom...I have been on the pill the last 7 years and the mini pill for 3 of those with no periods...just hoping this isn't a chemical pregnancy now and it sticks !

As I'm only 11dpo today !

@allrainbows I’m so pleased for you! Our first BFP on this thread

Thank you so much @AllTheGlitter hopefully there will be be a lot more bfps soon !

Hi @AllTheGlitter ! I came of the pill last september after being on it for 10 years! I had awful stomach cramps, bloating etc for 2 weeks straight. Af arrived in december and luckily now am on a regualr 39 day cycle. So hopefully not to much longer for you =)

Hi @Luckylola12 aw that’s good news! I am 8 weeks off the pill today so hoping for something soon!! :)

Update!! I woke up to some blood today (sorry tmi)! First i’ve seen since my withdrawal bleed on 19th December 😃! Somethings happening!! 👍
How are you all getting on?

20 days off pill
No withdrawal bleed

@Comps83
Did you not have your usual fake ‘pill bleed’ after finishing the packet?
Don’t worry 20 days isn’t too bad, hopefully AF will arrive soon!

I’ve had a bit of bleeding today and horrible pain but not as much as I would have thought!

I was on the mini pill and have had nothing

57 days off the pill and no withdrawal bleed :(

Sorry posted too early

@TTc2019BabyNo1 congrats to you though! At least you know something’s deffo happening!

@comps83 same boat as me then :( hope something happens very soon!

@AllTheGlitter
Thank you! I guess i’m now on day 1 of cycle 2! Don’t worry something will happen soon!! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you!!

@TTc2019BabyNo1 are you still getting cramps every day? I get them every single night without fail! Not enough to be period pains but cramps none the less!

Hi guys, no real update but I’m now getting creamy CM (sorry if TMI)!, hoping this means I ovulated some time recently - potentially around 2 weeks ago when I reported EWCM? Not sure but hoping AF is on the way. Any news for anyone else?

@AllTheGlitter
Fingers crossed 🤞 for you!! I’m coming to the end of my first period off the pill now. Praying I have a normal cycle, will be back on the OPK’s on Monday!!
Keep us updated!

How’s everyone doing?

Another day, another friend who has just announced they’re pregnant. I’m so super happy for her but also sad that there’s something wrong with me 😞!

@AllTheGlitter how are you getting on? Any sign of AF yet?

Hey @TTc2019BabyNo1 don’t worry your time will come!

Nothing here but BFNs, 70 days off the pill. Getting a lot more CM at the moment but it’s not EWCM so god knows!

Anyone else?

Stopped the mini pill in October, no withdrawal bleed and no period since

Had the odd bit of spotting, some discharge which I think may have been ewcm but still no period. Now getting a lot of pain too, so waiting on a referral to a gynaecologist - not sure how it varies per area, but a referral where I am (NW England) is 12 weeks - so I could potentially have no period for 9 months before I get to see anyone

@trying81 October?! :( that’s terrible! Fingers crossed for you

Thanks, I’m sure I’m just an anomaly - but if you get to 6 months get to the GP and get the referral in case your wait time is similar.

Best of luck

So today I’ve had shit loads of CM, the worst cramps ever and backache. Hoping it’s AF

Just found your thread and I am in the same boat (albeit a newbie in my journey) I stopped taking my pill about 6 weeks ago and haven’t had my first proper period yet. Did have a withdrawal bleed though!

Absolutely gutted to read things like this and wish I’d done more research before. But then 6 months ago I was moving house and not thinking about ttc!!

What I find most frustrating is that all the symptoms for pregnancy, ovulation, period and hormone imbalance are all the same! whose idea was that

I also have been spotting like mad which is really giving me false hope. I know I’ve waltzed in here only 6 weeks off giving it the moan when there are other people worse off! I just never thought I’d look forward to my period so much!

Hi @Beclaboo welcome!

You are still early on, I hope that you’re lucky though and yours come back ASAP!

For me, my disgusting cramps on Thursday came to nothing and my nipples are SO SORE. :(
