Come off the pill 1st month TTC am I pregnant?

[Lindsayowens92]

Hi girls,

I come off the pill 6 weeks ago and had my normal period. I havnt been tracking my cycle at all so who knows it’s all over the place. I think I should be due on over the next couple of days but the past week I’ve had the following symptoms:

Dizziness - this was the first thing! My eyes would go black then be fine after about 1 min.
Nausea - not being sick but feeling it.
Numbness in my left leg.
Trouble sleeping
Irritable - so my partner says 😇
Headache
Mild backache

I’m not sure if I’m thinking too far in to it but I think last year I had a chemical pregnancy as I got faint lines on FRER but then as the days went on they dissapeard and AF showed.

Any advice? I don’t want to tell my OH yet as don’t want to get his hopes up until I’m sure.

Thanks x

Also raging anxiety!!

The symptoms you list could be anything and most of them I wouldn’t associate with pregnancy. Real symptoms when you would only realistically be 3 weeks pregnant are very unlikely.

Wait till you’re due and then test. I know the wait is excruciating but I think it’s the only way to stay sane.

Coming off the pill plays havoc with your hormones, so unfortunately it’s quite common to get pregnancy symptoms and not be pregnant :(

I can’t say that anything you’re describing particularly sounds like a pregnancy symptom, but we’re all different! My advice would be to take a FRER and see what it says.

If it’s negative, I would test once a week until either you get a positive or AF arrives.

Fingers crossed for you :)

I took a FRER test this morning and completely empty! You were right 😫 I’ll just wait for AF then on to next month ✌🏼 Xx

So if I have a 28 day cycle I’m over my AF due date, took FRER nothing. If I’m 35day cycle I’ll be due on in 2 days so just a waiting game now but been feeling nauseous for at least 2 weeks now we’ll see...
