Someone to talk to :(

[RMusic12]

So I'm feeling a bit fed up.

My partner and I have been trying since October for a baby, which I know isn't that long, thats not the part that is getting to me.

I came off the pill in October and haven't take a period since. I've had times where I get so many symptoms and think I could be pregnant and it's always a negative.

The last week or so all I've done is cry ever day, feeling so emotional and moody, my period was due and never came. I'm feeling nauseous and sleeping all the time. Then last night I slept for 4 hours. Getting stomach pains to like little sharp pains. Took a test - negative.

Do I take another test?
Do I wait?

I know I need to see a doctor i.e. my period.

I don't feel like I can turn to anyone because we want to make it a surprise when it happens but I'm so fed up of feeling crap and thinking there is a slight chance I could be pregnant then I'm not.

I've had sore boobs... feeling light headed... urgh

Big hugs!

Unfortunately sometimes it takes a while for your body to regulate normally again after the pill so it's definitely worth using an app or some form of tracker if you're not already, so you can have an idea of if and when.
Also a good idea to speak to your DR, just to be sure that there isn't anything underlying.

We had a month where I had lots of symptoms, had a positive test (lots of reviews of that brand said others had the same) and it turned out I wasn't pregnant so I get how upsetting it can be. Easier said than done but try and just take some time to relax with your OH where the focus isn't solely on trying and just 'see what happens'

Wait a few more days and I'd possibly test again to be sure but try not to fall into the expensive trap of testing all the time. Stress won't help your body either although I know it's not as easy to turn off!
Lots of positivity your way

Hi @RMusic12, sorry you're feeling this way and I know TTC is horrible. Particularly if you, like me, thought it was just something that happens instantly when you decide you want to have children. I know you said you want to keep it a surprise but it might be good for you if you had someone to talk to such as a friend or family member.

Are you tracking your ovulation? That would be the first thing I would do if I were you.
I came off the pill in September, got some ovulation tests from Amazon so I could track my cycle better and went from there.
I fell pregnant in October.

I think it can take a while for your cycles to regulate after being on the pill, once they are, you'll be able to track everything to increase your chances every month.

Thanks everyone, I do have the app where it tracks everything. But recently I've just been feeling so different. I feel like I've spent so much money on tests too.

I suppose when it's the right time it will happen. I just feel I have so many questions I can't really turn to anyone just now. Thankyou x

Hi @RMusic12, well if nothing else if you have any questions you can always ask them here. I like the fact that it is totally anonymous so I can ask any questions even if they are borderline ridiculous :)

Yeah @LH1987 your right I love this app, although still getting use to it. 🙂

First of all let your period return that can take up to six months after certain conceptive. My sister was off the pill got pregnant the first month but had a miscarriage because the pill hadn’t exited the body yet. I advise you take pregnacare conception they are really good help you get enough vitamins in your body. After sex don’t do a wee as well as keeps the sperm up there for longer most likely to get pregnant quickly and don’t get up straight away after. I got three kids helped with my third when I did this
