Pregnant after coming off pill

Hi just wondering if anyone has come off the pill and got pregnant straight away. Any ideas on how due date will be calculated. Would it be from the day you finished or started withdrawal bleed?!

Yes I did! I only had my withdrawal bleed and no period in between that and falling pregnant. I kept a log of 'activity' and when I got a positive on a cheap pregnancy test I also used one of the pregnancy tests that give you an idea of how far along you are. This matched up to my activity log and the midwife used that at my booking in appointment and was also confirmed at my dating scan

Me too. Came off the pill, had the withdrawal bleed then bam - pregnant! Didn't have chance to have a 'normal' period. The pregnancy is still dated from the first day of your last period.

Yes I did with DS and calculated from the first day of my last withdrawal bleed.

Ahh ok thanks! I also had withdrawal bleed 3days later so have been using the first day of that. I thought that might be the case which makes me around 8weeks first midwife appointment tomorrow. Had horrible nausea past few weeks but I got it a lot earlier with my last pregnancy just had a feeling I may not be as far along as I thought but guess I’ll find out soon enough!

I did, I stopped my pill and first time trying ( on our wedding night) I am now 12 weeks!

Yes I did, bit of a shock, didn't have any sort of bleed at all.
