Coming off the pill...

[Baker0104]

So after lots of waiting me and dp have finally decided I'll come off the pill this week, give it a couple of months to have a couple of periods and then start ttc!
I'm so excited and nervous in equal measure. We are going to start taking vitamins a month before and eating healthy etc. Not really sure of the point to this post lol. Just wanted to voice it and see if anyone else is in the same situation as us 😊

Hi! How’s everyone doing? Does anyone know how accurate Ovia is with predicting fertile windows? They’ve estimated mine but I haven’t had AF yet🤔

[Baker0104]

@WhoWhatWheree I'm using the ovia app as it's the one that's been recommended most so hopefully it works!

@Greybutterfly we've cancelled Mexico! Didn't want to take the chance and have to wait, might go somewhere closer to home but will decide nearer the time.

I've come off my pill but no withdrawal bleed yet, hopefully soon. I'm feeling a bit emotional though and my energy feels completely zapped so I'm not sure if that's coincidence or not taking the hormones but we shall see! X

@Baker0104 yeah, i’ve just gone ahead and used that along with flo. They’ve come up with similar FWs so🤷‍♀️. I’m currently in 2ww, been experiencing loads of symptoms but could just be af on the way😬

The withdrawal bleed should start soon, I have read some people’s stories where it has taken a month or two, but fingers crossed for you that it’ll be soon. Sorry to hear you’ve had to cancel Mexico though

@WhoWhatWheree ooo fingers crossed for you! I'm getting stomach cramps today so hopefully I'll get the bleed soon, I hate waiting 😂 x

That’s a shame - Mexico is my absolute favourite country but it’s definitely better to be safe and hopefully you will be able to get away somewhere closer. So exciting for you x

Hi all! I’m 30 and about to start TTC number 2, my DD is 2.5. Thinking of trying in August or maybe September, I came off my pill 3 months ago and my periods have come back and seem to be regular, although I’ve gone from a 33 day cycle when I was TTC my first to now 27 days. I’ve been taking all the vitamins and trying to eat a bit healthier so fingers crossed! I was very lucky with my daughter and conceived literally our first month trying. Hoping it will be that easy again but who knows! I’m using Clue and Flo at the moment but they are telling me slightly different dates

[Baker0104]

@Amelia891 hiya! I'm 31 so only a tad older than you! I'm planning on starting ttc when we're away so mid September, fingers crossed for both of us!

@Greybutterfly my gp was really pleased I'd cancelled Mexico lol. Had a chat about my other medication as well and just started folic acid on her recommendation so I'm feeling positive! X

Hey all! How exciting! Coming off the pill is such a game changer!! I remember how better I felt when I came off the pill a few months ago. It definitley makes you feel a lot better.

Good kick in your journey!

Hi all, can I join?
I’m 31, partner is 39 and we have just started TTC baby 1.
I was on the depo injection for 8 years which i came off in Dec 19 and changed to combi pill. Came off pill on Sat 13 June and had withdrawal bleed on 18 june, so now waiting for AF to appear - apps say Wed this week. Started taking seven seas trying for a baby when I came off the pill. I know that the depo can take ages to get out of system, but really hoping for some good luck. Does anybody have any suggestions of anything I can do to help my chances?

Wishing everybody a huge amount of good luck with your journeys. Xx
