Am I Pregnant or wishful thinking?

[MJ2901]

Hiya,

Wondering if anyone has experienced something similar...

I have been on the pill but came off it not to actively “try” for a baby just to wait and see what happened as didn’t want to put any pressure on me and my partner, this is our first child together. I had my period on 4th August which was bang on, I have a 28 cycle on the pill. I then had a small bleed the week after lasting 2-3 days so wasn’t sure if that was another period or a consequence of coming off the pill. For the past 2-3 weeks I’ve been feeling sick, went off certain foods, exhausted, sore boobs and no period w/c 31st where I would have been due so thought I may have been pregnant, did a test on Saturday and today but it’s negative. I have this gut feeling I am pregnant but the negative test is making me think I’m maybe overthinking things and the symptoms could just be from coming off the pill? I should probably just sit it out and wait to see if I get a period but I’m so bloody impatient 🙈

Thanks for reading 😊

@MJ2901 same - I feel I am but I think it’s hormonal

I felt like it after I had my iud out too , was convinced I was pg

Sorry , no advice but just wanted to say hi

@Emmie12345 ah did you? That helps me feel a little bit better as in I’m not going off my head and I am feeling these things! Thanks for replying xx

Hey! I came off my pill on 3rd July and only just got my first period 4 days ago! I had a withdrawal bleed 24th July for a few days then finally ovulated 4 weeks after that! The pill definitely messes with your cycle and makes you experience all kinds of symptoms, I definitely had loads and thought I was 100% pregnant various times since I came off my pill but had all negative tests. It’s horrible that pms symptoms mimic pregnancy symptoms! Just keep optimistic, your time will come ☺️ x

@MJ2901 I currently having weird cycle - cd42, feel either pg or PMs but bfn and no period ! Keep feeling sick too

Think it’s my age tho ! 47 x

@Nam095 thanks so much for your response! It’s comforting to know that these symptoms are common with other folk too! I had no expectations of being pregnant straight away but as you say the symptoms do mirror being pregnant which is confusing! X

@Emmie12345 I hope you get to the bottom of it soon! This TTC malarkey is mind blowing at times! It’s comforting to know there are other folk in the same boat and I’m not going crazy 🙈 x
