Other than my hubby who is interested but just half listens I haven't got a baby mama to talk to I just feel I want to say out loud what's going on just to off load really so here goes...

Our daughter started school this sept and it was always the plan once she did to try for baby no2. We went away 4 weeks ago just me and hubby so thought it the perfect weekend for me to stop my pill. Iv been on the combined pill for 4 years.
A week after I had the worst cramping pains actually had to have 2 days off work as I couldn't stand, barely slept and had the sweats it was that bad. I thought it was my period kicking back in but nothing occurred. Did a little reading just put it down to a side effect of coming off the pill anyway.
For the last 2 weeks Iv had tender breasts and painfully hard nipples and also noticed the yellowy crusting in my nipples the last couple of days too! I have taken a couple of tests (just the cheapy Tesco ones no fancy digital ones yet didn't want to pay out so early) and at various times of days over the past week, all were negative.
This week I am suffering with horrific headaches again actually having to have a day off work (I sound work shy, I'm not these 3 sick days are my first ever since returning to work after first daughter)
I'm constantly tired and napping most days after work and still getting a full night sleep. This afternoon I noticed I had pinky discharge after wiping. Had some niggly pains nothing serious and no period still
What's your thoughts? Are my hormones playing tricks?
How long after coming of the pill did you get a period?
Anyone come straight off the pill and conceive before they even had a period?

I came of the lucette pill in August and had a withdrawal bleed a few days later. Then had a period 3 weeks 3 days later so a 32 day cycle. I swore I was pregnant during those 3 weeks with symptoms but definitely wasn't :( I'm not due on now til 11oct so here's to hoping :) good luck for your bfp x

I also had a withdraw bleed around 4 days after coming off of the pill and then a period 3 and a half weeks later. This was coming off of Microgynon 30. Coming off of the pill is a complete journey in itself though and definitely isn't an easy ride!

@flossy980 are you having side effects still? Really hoping I'm not!

@Mummybearto3bg no but I came off of the pill a year ago. I had about 4 cycles which completely mimicked my cycles on the pill (24 days, as I took 21 pills then my period would always arrive 3 days after my break week started). And then I fell pregnant on my 5th cycle trying and sadly lost it, but ever since then my cycles have been what I expected them to be and the pregnancy seemed to really wake my hormones back up.
