Acid reflux/heartburn at ovulation...

[Createcomet]

I came off my pill about 10 days ish ago to ttc baby no 2 (anxious, excited, terrified....feeling it all right now!)

Anyway, I'm feeling a bit sick after eating today and have a bit of acid reflux. I think I may have ovulated today. Not 100% sure but I'm getting bits of egg white cervical mucus 🤷‍♀️

Anyway, I've only ever had this acid reflux when pregnant/ttc but its horrible. Does anyone happen to know if there's anything I can do to ease it? It drives me a bit mad!!

I am in EXACTLY the same position as you. Stopped taking my pill around 10 days ago to TTC baby number 2 🤩

Yes I have well not awful and I probably wouldn't call mine acid reflux as such but after I've eaten I do seem to have a lot of indigestion to the point where I keep 'burping' (only word I can think of) and a few times it's come back up further than expected 😳

However I had quite alot of abdominal cramps and twinges a few days after I came off the pill, assumed it was because of that but I still haven't had a withdrawal bleed either, have you had one yet? I have noticed I'm very sensitive to smells at the moment, my libido has tripled, I seem to be like a radiator and cannot cool down even when it's freezing and I've had quite clear mucus.

Whether this is just from stopping the pill or whether it's ovulation I do not know, but it would be interesting to hear how you've been feeling 😁

Oh wow, how funny that were both in the same situation!

It's rough isn't it? I took my last pill packet and then had my withdrawal bleed as normal and just didn't take another packet. Generally speaking I feel much clearer headed, less anxious and mentally much better than off the pill.

Physically...I was okay up until today. Today I've got sore boobs, I feel really sick and I've been getting very mild cramps for a day or two.
I've been pregnant 3 times.

1. I fell pregnant week one and it ended at week 7
2. I fell pregnant week one and it went full term
3. I fell pregnant on the pill in June this year (took it correctly!) and miscarried week 6 ish.

But yeah, I've no idea what to expect. I haven't had as much sex as last time we were ttc so doubt I'll be pregnant this month...but the acid reflux is vile and really getting to me already 🤣🤣🤣

Oh wow, see I haven't had a withdrawal bleed yet and I keep thinking it's going to come with having cramps and it never does... just a waiting game. Within 48 hours I was ovulating as all the symptoms were there 😳
Yes I feel loads better since I stopped taking it, I don't feel as down and low mood.

I've been pregnant 3 times also 😳

1. Miscarried around 5 weeks
2. Had my little boy
3. Got pregnant on the pill 2 months ago and miscarried. Well had a missed miscarriage very early on.

Thats crazy how similar our experiences have been.. like very crazy!

I have had a lot of cramps and twinges. I came off the pill now to give my body time to regulate and get back into a routine with cycles etc as we was hoping to fall pregnany after Christmas but the way things are looking it may be happening sooner 🤦🏼‍♀️

Oh my god, so similar!! That's absolutely mad!!

You definitely could be pregnant then if your withdrawal bleed doesn't show up soon! Keep me posted.

See, I thought I'd ovulated 48 hours later too, because I got some egg white cervical mucus...But we didn't have sex because we were both ill, it was the end of my withdrawal bleed and it felt mega soon...I didn't even tell my husband that I thought I'd ovulated.

But then yesterday I got some mucus again (not much, but some), and a whole crap tonne of symptoms. Sore and tingly boobs, feeling sick, heartburn etc. I suspect its PMS but its awful! What the hell is going on?! I wish I just knew where in my cycle I was. Its usually really obvious but I've now had the egg white mucus twice and I'm baffled 🤦‍♀️

Literally coming here to say OMFG the acid reflux and sticky feeling..
MAKE IT STOP!

Did anyone else get this when they came off the pill? I can't be pregnant as we've only had sex once since I stopped the pill and I have no idea when I ovulated 🤦‍♀️

Oh bless you 🙏 I don't know how to describe it but when I've eaten I definitely get a feeling in my chest, wouldn't say heartburn or indigestion but like it's "bubbling up inside" ( it's not painful or anything but just there) like my chest feels heavy and like I want to burp constantly. I've just had my tea now and my chest straight away feels all funny, like it's just sat in there.

It's so confusing knowing what's what isn't it... so it's nearly two weeks since I came off the pill and all my symptoms led to ovulation within a few days however I can't be certain because I have no dates or cycles to track it from 🤦🏼‍♀️

Yeah that's kind of what I'm getting, with the occasional mouthful of acid if I move too much after a meal. It's so odd isn't it? I've read that ovulation can cause this in some women (yay!) but yeah...I've actually only had sex once this cycle so far so I need to try and bit harder anyway hahahaha. But was kind of hoping my cycle would figure itself out (it's usually pretty quick!) So that I know what's going on next month and can make more of a proper effort to dtd around ovulation.

I forgot what a faff this is 🤣🤣🤣

@anon1411 Have you tested yet?

Hi @Createcomet

Still testing negative so maybe it's just my body's way of trying to regulate after coming off the pill 🙄 I have no idea what's going on. Still lots of cramping and twinges, discharge goes from being bone dry to egg white like... can't stop eating, can't stop weeing 🤣 so yeah haha.

How are you? And have you tested yet? 🤞

Oh gosh, its such a rollecoaster isn't it? I'm sorry you haven't got a positive yet, still early days though.

I haven't tested yet. I'm fairly sure I ovulated last week because I suddenly got tonnes of EWCM....but it was pink 🙄

Since last week I've had sore boobs, feel very sick (and getting acid reflux) and today feel exhausted. Had all of this this early with previous pregnancies but have only actually dtd 2 times this month so I'll be very very surprised if I'm pregnant. I think my hormones have just gone awol off the pill 😭

@Createcomet
Bless you, well that sounds promising for you! My fingers are crossed 🤞

I keep getting symptoms similar to yours but nothing seems to be coming of them. I feel so sick this morning and I don't ever feel sick or even get ill with sickness so this is new to me. My boobs have been tender well more my nipples I suppose. It is still early days so will just hold out and see. And I still haven't had my withdrawal bleed like 17ish days later and we have DTD around 7 times this month..

Who knows 🤣🤣

It's baffling isn't it. I just can't shake the sicky acid feeling. I am aware though that it's possible to feel sick for the entire luteal phase just as a pms symptom. So if that's my new norm I'm not impressed.

I'm so so so tired this morning. I've actually had more energy than normal recently which is rare for me haha. But I feel like I could sleep for a week!

Let me know how you get on. I think I'm expecting my period in about 9 days so agessssss to go yet. Don't really want to test until I'm quite late because of my history or early miscarriage

@anon1411 How are you doing? Did you test? I'm now over a month since my withdrawal bleed from the pill. No sign of period so far. Think it would be due today/tomorrow based on when I think I ovulated but this is all guesswork! I have some symptoms, but I know coming off the pill can really mess with our hormones so I'm not hopeful. Just wish my period would show up 🤦‍♀️

@Createcomet

Hi! I'm good thanks, just a bit all over really, lots of twinges and cramping, EWCM, headaches, nausea, hot flushes, insomnia, hungry all the time.. bit of everything really but still not had a withdrawal bleed or a bleed of any type 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣 I did test the other afternoon randomly just because and it was negative! I wasn't expecting much if I'm honest but I just want to be able to have dates to work from.

How have you been? Have you tested? Or are you holding out?

Oh how frustrating, I'm sorry you're in this situation too!
I'm kind of the same. I haven't tested and I think I should hold out a while. I only had EWCM for one week, a couple of weeks ago so I'm praying that I ovulate then and that my period should be on its way....I've definitely felt the hormone shift. But I'm very sensitive to my hormones and right now I just don't feel ill enough to be pregnant, but also don't feel ill enough to be expecting my period. God knows what my body is doing.
I've had nausea, acid reflux, cramps on and off, fatigue, lightheadedness and, lower back pain and for a few moments this morning I had that horrible metallic taste in my mouth.

Every time I've been pregnant I've always "just known". And I don't feel like that now so I reckon I'm waiting for a period. But like you, I just want some dates to work with!!!

@anon1411 I caved and did a test. Midday which was probably a bit stupid 🤣

But I think I can see a line. No idea how I feel. Not getting attached because of my previous history...but definitely feeling very all over the place.

@Createcomet

OMG!!! CONGRATULATIONS, that is a definitive line. Im so happy for you ⭐️

Awww thanks! I wish I felt the same 🤣 I don't think it's sinking in. I have period pain going on and I just keep thinking my period is going to show up.

Also, just really wary after early losses in the past. I didn't think I'd get pregnant this soon. We only had sex twice and it was month #1. I know I'm blessed but also...I'm a bit shocked.

Had to test because I've got like zero patience at the moment and needed to know why. I nearly cried because my pram had mud in the wheels earlier 🤦‍♀️

How are you doing?

@Createcomet
It's hard isn't it especially having losses in the past, you can't help but worry and think the worst.

But my fingers are crossed for you, they really are 🤞⭐️ that's the thing isn't it, it literally dose only take one time and it always seems to happen when you least expect it or you think you're out for the month!

I'm good thanks, keep having all the symptoms as before, nipples have been very prickly and tingling this past 24 to 48 hours which is new. And sorry if tmi but it feels like I'm coming on my period (like I'm leaking) and every time I check there's nothing there other than a bit of CM. So who knows. I tested yesterday evening and it was negative so just going to wait 😁

Hmm that does definitely seem like pregnancy doesn't it? Keep waiting I guess and maybe test again end of the week? Its horrible isn't it playing the waiting game.
