Hormones after coming off the pill

[emmaalouise90]

Hello

I came off my pill probably around 2 weeks ago. And I have had unprotected sex as trying for a baby.

However I have been feeling so anxious, hormonal, emotional and over thinking so so much. Is this normal when coming off the pill?

I honestly feel awful. For example, little comments upset me over smallest things, my partner was too tired to have sex last night and I over thought he didn't find me attractive anymore or didn't actually want to.

I have done two pregnancy tests as thought maybe I am feeling like this due to being pregnant? But they are strips from my ovulation test kit and both said negative?

Thanks

It can take a while to regulate after coming off the pill. I had the mini pill (so slightly different to the pill) and the first month I had strong pms symptoms, I never had it like that before. I ovulated around 2.5 weeks after stopping the mini pill.

You mentioned ovulation tests, are you testing daily to see when you ovulate? If not that’s a good thing to do, to then have a better understanding of when you ovulate. There’s about a 5 day window before and up to ovulation that you can conceive, and then it takes about 6-12 days after ovulation for implantation to occur.

Ok thank you. I was on mini pill also! So maybe this is why I have such awful symptoms :( just feel so hormonal and awful moods!
Argued with my partner a few times over stupid things! Hope it goes and I start to feel more normal soon.

I haven't bothered doing any ovulation tests recently! I will start I think after my period when it comes xx

Ah ok. Your period may or may not start 28 days later for the first cycle while it’s getting back into the pattern. If it goes on too long though then do also take a test to rule pregnancy out. There is a chance of conceiving even in the first cycle.

Have you noticed any cervical mucus? I knew roughly when I was in the fertile window when I saw that and I had it for about 5-6 days. I usually saw it on tissue paper when I went to the toilet- sorry for tmi. Just incase it helps, equally don’t worry if you don’t see much, everyone is different.

Hello! No I haven't seen any of that as from yet! Just hormones lol!
I actually feel quite down! So weird as didn't feel like this at all when taking my mini pill. Hopefully goes! And I can get excited again!
My period hasn't come yet but as you say it took you 28 days, so maybe in the next week or two!

Have you got pregnant yet? How long have you tried for xxx
