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 ooh congrats on ovulating!!! I don’t know anything about temping really does it work?
@greytexpectations mine is too! Made myself feel better by getting a cute storage box to put sanitary stuff in and new period pants

Surely if we are having AF that means we are ovulating right?

Load of blood when wiping earlier, though hurrah my period is finally here! But nothing since, body is playing mind games

I assume a period means you’re ovulating @AllTheGlitter - start tracking them and figure out how your cycle is working

@trying81 hang in there! That’s what mine started as, like 5 days of random blood when I wipe and then suddenly AF! I’m nearing the end of this period, I was always lucky and only had 3 day AF so hopefully I’ve kept that!

Going to start OPKs once I’ve come off AF and I could start temping as bought a fab thermometer for DSS that also works for adults?

I’d imagine any thermometer would do the trick? Not an expert though

I do think it’s finally here, small amount on a pad this morning - I’ve always only ever had a very light flow anyway. Massive relief

Hi guys, how’re you all?

Blood tests came back all normal which was a relief so now to start baby making this month hopefully! I’m off next week and that’s when I should be ovulating so will start OPKs from tonight I reckon.

@alltheglitter good news!!! I haven’t done any OPKs I just thought I’d wing it this month and focus on my next period to lessen the pressure on myself, although I am still anxious beyond belief

So this happened today!! I’m in shock!

Just to recap. I took my last pill 16th December, didn’t have a period until almost three months later on 14th March.
Not sure when I ovulated 7th/8th April I think. I’m not going to get exited until it’s all confirmed and stuff. Also I’ve been drinking this week (stupid I know) so I don’t know if i’ve done any damage... :(!
I have a hen do next weekend which is wine tours in the south of France! And I am not known to turn down a glass of wine...!! Help!!
There’s hope for everyone!! X

@TTc2019BabyNo1 I’ve heard not to worry if you drink before you find out as the baby feeds off the sack and not you that early on? I’m not a doctor or anything just what I’ve heard! Tbh, I think if you don’t go and enjoy yourself and then get a BFN you’ll majorly regret it but of course it’s up to you. Personally I’d change my habits once I see a BFP x

@TTc2019BabyNo1 OMG!!!!! DIDNT SEE THE PICTURE!!! MASSIVE CONGRATS!

@TTc2019BabyNo1 I’m so so happy for you!! Just screamed and my partner looked at me funny haha! Maybe tell them you’re on antibiotics so can’t drink? Make up a story about you being ill doing it before? X

Also guys sorry for posting so much I’ve got overexcited haha but I’ve now lost 1st 3lbs in 2 weeks and hopefully ovulating next week so hopefully this is my month! How’s everyone else?

@AllTheGlitter
Thank you!! Can’t believe it! Now i’m on Google asking what on earth I do now lol!!
You’ve lost how much??? 😲 blimey!! Well done, that’s amazing!! You are doing a fab job! Keep it up, i’m Sure BFP will follow soon 😃 x

Hi guys how’re we all doing? I supposedly ovulated last week (didn’t do OPKs this month). The past two days though I’ve had heartburn (never ever get heartburn) and my sense of smell was heightened this morning as I could smell something disgusting in the office that nobody else could . I’m 99% sure I’m just symptom spotting though.

@AllTheGlitter
Hey!! So I have to say, I didn’t feel pregnant and had no symptoms when I took the test but when I looked back, I also had a really heightened sense of smell. At the time I put it down to the hot weather bringing out the flowers or the fact that whatever it was is just really smelly. So it might be a good sign for you 🤞😃!!
How many DPO are you?
Keep an eye out for really vivid weird dreams I had a few which I now realise other people have had too and is a sign of pregnancy!
How are you feeling?

@TTc2019BabyNo1 according to the app I’m 6-7 dpo but as I stupidly didn’t do OPKs I’m not 100%! My CM has been pretty consistent with a normal cycle though, dry then watery then back to dry - I don’t really get EWCM and never really have looking back.

Funnily enough I have had really vivid dreams but I put that down to watching too many episodes of the vampire diaries and wine . Hopefully I’m onto something though! We shall see.

The main things making me wonder for me are the heartburn which is very weird for me and the fact I could smell gone of yoghurt at work and had to open a window haha
