Post Pill TTC – Party Harder

[TheHotelCalifornia]

Roll up, roll up, it’s time for a new thread for the ladies who are experiencing the highs and lows (mainly the lows…) of coming off the pill and TTC! Here you’ll find stories of delayed ovulation, crazy long follicular phases, crazy short follicular phases, light AFs, short luteal phases, long luteal phases, confusing temp charts and blindingly white OPKs, to name a few. This our 4th thread (I think!) and we've had a few ladies get their BFP recently which is so exciting! Join us, won’t you?

Apologies if I’ve forgotten anyone, please tag them!

So AF came but it’s been light but more then just spotting so currently on CD2. Started to take Maca root pills and Agnus castus this cycle as want to try and regulate my periods now as it’s my first proper period since withdrawal bleed and last cycle brought me to CD40.

Just catching up on all the messages.

@Ams19 glad to hear little bean is ok

Good luck to all of you that are in the tww. Hopefully to hear there are some bfps

Welcome also to the newbies who have joined the thread

Happy Sunday 😊 hope you're all feeling well and nicely relaxed x

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry!! I’m completely terrified argh! One thing I am actually a little worried about is my boobs were really hurting yesterday and now nothing, and my nipples were sore from ovulation and today they’ve stopped, eeek!

@MintGreenLife 😲 congratulations!!! What lovely news ❤️

@LauraT94 thanks ☺️

I honestly didn’t expect it! I didn’t feel any different, apart from a bit hotter x

Hi ladies,

I commented a bit on the last thread and have just caught up with this new one!

@MintGreenLife huge congrats!!! That’s amazing news. I think we were similar amounts of time off the pill so that’s given me hope! So excited for you

@MintGreenLife sorry, reading again and r.e. your worries about symptoms I think it's all normal for it to fluctuate in the beginning? Most people seem to report no symptoms when they get their BFP!

@Cams50 thank you 😀 I’m 8 months off xx

@LauraT94 I’m sure you’re right ☺️ Just kind of freaked me out this morning that my sore boobs had disappeared over night! Xx

Oh @MintGreenLife congratulations, I’m so happy for you! ❤️

@ChinChilly thanks, not sure how to feel to be honest! Just had a few specs of blood when I wiped too, so that’s freaked me out. Really hope in a few days and with a few more positive tests the nerves pass 🤞🏼

@MintGreenLife I think a few specs of blood at this stage is normally, little bean is probably still impanting properly and getting comfortable! But I can imagine how much of a worry it must be

@ChinChilly I’m sure you’re right ☺️ I best order more FRERs to keep an eye on my line progression! Xx

@mintgreenlife oh my gosh!!!!!! Woohoo!! Excellent news 🥳🥳🥳

Try not to stress, try to take the next few days (and weeks) nice and easy 😊

When you're feeling comfortable perhaps you can share your story? Xx

@Kay00 of course I’d love to ☺️ I keep having little moments where I feel really excited, but mostly I feel sick with nerves. Just know I’m going to be reading into every tiny little symptom and watching everything like a hawk 😂

@MintGreenLife congratulations 💕. So good to see so many BFPs on this thread

Hi everyone, I hope you don’t mind me jumping on the thread too, I’ve been reading through it all. I’ve just come off the combined pill after 12 years on it, currently having my usual withdrawal bleed then my partner and I were just planning on DTD every couple of days and seeing what happens. I didn’t want to put more stress on us with doing OPK’s but now wondering whether I’m being naive and should really be doing them!! I’m now 32 and pre pill my AF were always quite irregular so I’m a bit worried about that. Looking forward to following all of your journeys.

😂 thats why I was advising you relax... easier said than done im sure!!

It sounds as though your dietary changes brought down your TSH levels and bam! Your pregnant 🤩 so pleased for you xx

@Kay00 thank you ☺️ I think you’re probably right, feel like all the effort was worth it in the end. Think I’m going to make an appointment with a fertility nutritionist to discus whether or not to stay gluten and dairy free, and decide what supplements to continue with xx

Omg @MintGreenLife I am so thrilled for you!! Actually made my day! Try not to worry too much, I spotted on and off throughout my first, tonnes of reasons it can happen.

Sending so much love and congratulations Xxx

@MancMama39 thanks so much ☺️ Phew that makes me feel better! It’s still happening, but it’s honestly like the tiniest specks on the tissue and only when I really wipe upwards if that makes sense. Think this is going to take a while to settle in 😂

@mintgreenlife yes, that's a good idea 😊

My temps have been so low now for the past couple of months... I wonder if I need to get my thyroid levels checked out too... your journey has inspired me!!

@missc07 Welcome!! A lot of us do OPKs and take our temperatures but its not for everyone. Arguably it causes some stress 😆 but it also helps create a clearer picture of what is going on.

@MintGreenLife huge congratulations xx all your hard work has paid off hun.

OH MY GOD @MintGreenLife CONGRATULATIONS DARLING!!! I'm soooooooooo over the moon for you I swear I nearly got choked up when I read your post!! Omg this is so so exciting. After everything you've been through - all your hard work has clearly paid off!! Please stay on the thread and keep us updated, I think we're all very invested in your journey! Have you told DH yet?? xxxx
