Hi everyone!

Just wanted to start a thread after reading through some and watching.

I came off the pill 1st september, bled 8th-12th then spotted/light bleed again 21st-25th september.

I'm using Flo which I think is pretty inaccurate right now but it's saying I'm due on tomorrow.

No symptoms really - think any I have had have been in my head!

Hoping to find someone who is also starting their journey of TTC for the first time ☺️

@JEMMA18 ooh I’m in the same boat I’ve been tracking and got peak on Sunday night so we are pretty close with that one again, how weird! Yeah I’m still worried I haven’t as had very little EWCM infact-none! Just normal CM which turned slippy yesterday. Have you?

Hi all,

Please can I join ☺️ I am 25 OH is 31 and we decided to start TTC this year.

I came off Cerelle on 20/8 after being on it for 5 years with no periods, and I was on Mycrogynon for 2years before that but ran pill packets together 🤦🏻‍♀️.

I've not had a period yet ☹️ had a couple of random spotting like things, but these have been after DTD and I have a condition that causes the womb lining to grow over onto my cervix so I have no idea if this is because of that or is actually a withdrawal bleed.

Had a drs appt last week and they said take another test and come back in a month if it's negative and then they will start testing hormones. Well the test was negative so gotta wait until 25th for next appt.

This is going to sound odd, but my first ever long term bf & I were stupid reckless kids, and we had unprotected sex for 2.5 years but I never got pregnant and I've convinced myself I must be infertile. Does anyone else have any experiences like this?

I really need some support, I feel like I'm not actually a woman right now, and I hate not knowing what is going on with my body.

The only good things about coming off the pill are that my libido has miraculously reappeared (wehey!!) And my skin is so much better than it was.

@ACMD
Wow that's strange isnt it !!
Well it's odd really for me because I got EWCM before my peak but not too much of it but I'm scared I've missed it even thought I think we covered it, but not as much as I would of if I knew. The tests at the time of the EWCM where all low and a few days later the CM stopped and I hit my peak. Isnt it odd how everyone is different.
Fingers crossed for us both that we just got lucky and AF doesn't turn up. When is yours due to turn up?

Hi girls,

So I've been reading through this post and all the comments, and feel like I can relate to so many of them!!!!

My boyfriend and I had the discussion a few months ago and decided we both want to TTC!

I stopped taking Mycrogynon combined pill on 15th October, had my withdrawal bleed (?!) from the 18th-21st October and let me tell you there has been a lot of deeds being done between then and now Grin. I told myself I would take it this whole thing as it comes... but I've already taken 3 x tests.. all negative! And have a stash sat in my flat ready for the next time I feel the slightest 'early pregnancy symptom'. I took my packets of microgynon back to back pretty much all the time... so no idea when (if positive) a test would show up?!

I never knew how much I really wanted this until we've started properly trying Star

Hi everyone 😀
Thought i would join in. I am 25 and stopped taking cerazzete 4 weeks ago now, no withdrawal bleed of AF! Took a teat this morning and BFN 😔
I am driving myself insane symptom spotting already

Thorn19 · 21/11/2019 19:38

Hi everyone hope you don't mind me joining & I hope everyone is one step closer to getting positive results 🤞🏼
This is my first time TTC, I stopped taking the pill in July after my gp thought it would be a good idea back in January to start it due to having symptoms of PCOS. My periods have been monthly since stopping never 100% accurate varying between 31 - 35 days.. Finished my period 3 days ago, yesterday and today I've had clear slippery CM. Is this normal. I really hope this month is a positive month xx

Diamond94 · 29/01/2020 10:42

Hey everyone.. just wondering if anyone has an update?? X

Tinygiggler89 · 29/01/2020 12:27

Currently in TWW, due on between Fri and Sunday. I usually get sore boobs the week before my period for a couple of days but it hasn’t gone and I’ve been feeling weird twinges alongside feeling slightly sick. On Monday I was exhausted. Pretty sure it’s all in my head but I have my fingers crossed all the same. Not going to test until my period is late. Hope you are all getting on ok.

Diamond94 · 29/01/2020 12:29

@tinygiggler89 how long have you been trying for??

Tinygiggler89 · 29/01/2020 12:42

December was the first month we tried, so this is only the second month. I had my implant out in August so I’ve been tracking my cycle since then. I got the static smiley on a clear blue test this month so I’ve got my fingers crossed!! Previous months I’d used ovulation sticks and was convinced I’m not ovulating!

Tinygiggler89 · 03/02/2020 13:06

I got my BFP!!! Have everything crossed for a healthy pregnancy, pretty anxious! Wishing you all the best of luck. Xx
