Fresh off the mini pill and confused!

[Clara0793]

Hi all, buckle up this might be a long one but I'm hoping for some words of wisdom!
I came off my mini pill about 1 month ago, had a withdrawal bleed from the 11th until the 15th August. No period, spotting etc since then. I haven't tracks my ovulation or anything like that as we're not actively trying but not preventing. If I was to go off my usual 28 day cycles my next period should be due in 3/4 days time.
Over the last week I've been feeling a bit crampy on and off, but nothing to write home about.
Today however, I have woken up with sore boobs, painful nipples, bloating, my stomach is making extremely loud gurgling noises and my eyes are heavy with tiredness despite me sleeping for 9 hours solid last night! I'm hoping to go to the shop after work and get a pregnancy test. But I just wondered if anyone had any experiences of coming off the pill and having similar symptoms?

I had a similar thing, I had really sore boobs and cramps last month and was a week late for my period and only bled for 2-3 days and now I’m getting faint positives. I have no idea what’s going on either!

I came off the pill at the end of July and had a big bleed then into the start of Aug

Wow those tests look positive to me! When did you last take a test? I find coming off the pill makes thing so confusing, like I'm not sure what I'm supposed to count as CD1 anymore.

I’ve been doing tests every day since Sunday and they all look like that, not getting any darker or lighter so who knows😂 I think periods/ cycles are bound to be all over since we have only recently stopped the pill.

im counting my next period as my first proper cycle, that’s if it actually comes😂

There's nothing worse than that uncertainty! It would be driving me mad having tests like that! I'm hoping I get my proper period soon or some form of answer to what is going on. Not long until I finish work and I will be straight to the shop for a test 😂 promised myself I would wait until Monday as that would technically be a 28 day cycle but I'm feeling so rubbish I can't resist doing one! The other thing I've noticed is I have a really dry mouth! I've had 2.5 litres today and my mouth feels like a desert!

Please let me know!!! X

BFN! I'm guessing it's my lovey period planning on making its return!

Aww I hope you’re okay, best of luck for this next cycle!

I had the same this month, stopped my pill in July had a withdrawal bleed 25th - 29th then I was 13 days ‘late’ cycle day 41 when my cycles are averagely 29 days… took multiple pregnancy tests as I also had every symptom of being pregnant but all negative and then eventually it came! I spoke to my sister and a few people this month who have had really similar experience all at the same time, it’s really bizarre!! I hope your cycle starts again soon or if you are hoping for baby ✨✨✨ to you 🫶🏼
