Am I going mad

[Niftymum88]

We’ve decided we’re going to have one more.
im 37, 38 in June.
i stopped taking the pill on the 27th October straight after my period.
i had a small bleed from 29th-1st.
i know it can take upto 3 months this for your body to go back to normal cycles, but even on the pill I was on every two weeks.

its been 4 weeks and nothing, no signs of starting.
I’ve been waking up with headache, I’m so tired, and today I feel sick. I absolutely love chocolate and just can’t stomach it.
I took a test this morning and negative.
am I overthinking it?
am I wanting it that badly my body is giving me fake symptoms.
or is it too early to tell?

Did you go to the GP about all the breakthrough bleeding you've had?

I did they said it was normal for me, I was the same when I was on the implant. My body doesn’t do well with contraception apparently

In that case your body is probably just trying to get regulated as it sounds like the hormonal contraception has hit you quite hard. And that will probably mean hormonal fluctuations leading to your system. Hope you get your baby soon x

If you had pregnancy symptoms it's most likely that it would show on a test - HCG (which make the pregnancy test positive) is also to blame for most early pregnancy symptoms. Unfortunately we tend to symptom spot when we want to be pregnant! This doesn't mean you aren't, just that the symptoms you're experiencing are likely not down to pregnancy.

am I seeing things? 🙈

Congratulations 🎉
