[babymammy]

this is my first month off thr pill.this past week i have been really tired to the point all i want to do issleep, feeling sick and cramps that come and go plus ahd a constant headache.

could these be my first symptoms?

im on cd17 and due my af on 5th april!

im not sua if ive ovulated because i was on antibiotics for 3 days wen i was dueto ovulate and i have read that antibiotics can affect CM.

what do u think are they pregnancy symptoms or just symptoms of coming off the pill?

Hi, I had the same symptoms after coming off the pill.
I just came off the pill end of feb, this is my first cycle and the cycle length has changed to a 35day one. I ovulated on CD 21 and am 99% sure cause I used an OPK. its very hard to know when you ovulate unless you use an opk.
the nausea and vomiting has kicked in for me this morning..here is my journal

Hiya, its suppose to be here anytime from today till Monday assuming I have a luteal phase of 10-14 days. As i said, this is my first cycle off the pill and I have no idea how long the cycle is; but I def ovulated ard 16th march.... . I am not testing till tuesday although very tempted! am not expecting much at all, some women here take years to conceive;but If I am really pg, it will be a wonderful miracle!
I got the clearblue ovulation kits, they are quite good!

I also had symptoms coming off the pill - it could be hormones leaving the body...I think CD17 would be a bit early for pregnancy symptoms such as nausea as they don't usually kick in til about 5 weeks pregnant or so - not that that is the same for everyone of course!

I've been off the pill since December and I've only just started getting normal cervical mucus - I convinced myself with my symptoms I was pg every cycle, just goes to show how those hormones affect you though!

I do hope you get your bfp this cycle though hun hopefully you will have a nice surprise and will be very lucky to catch on first month

 

[mummy_blues]

thanks hun! and enjoy your pizza & BD-ing, hope you get your BFP in 14 days!

I had CRAZY pg symptoms my first month off of the pill. I was almost convinced that I was pregnant, because I didn't know what else would make me feel that way. However, after about three weeks, the symptoms subsided and I had my period on CD31. I don't know if this helps, but I used opks the first month to try and get an idea of what my cycle was doing; I also was able to calculate my LP this way.

 

[babymammy]

stupid question but whats the LP??

 

[aragornlover8]

Luteal phase, sorry. It's the amount of time between ovulation and your period.

 

[mummy_blues]

my symptoms aren't going away somehow. Its been here since Ovulation day... I have been having erect enlarged nipples since ovulation day that isn't going away and I've increase a bra cup size within two days?? and first time this morning, I needed to puke on an empty stomach after waking up and I feel like puking everytime I don't eat for a few hours. So I kinda need to snack small stuff the whole day to stop myself from feeling pukish.. and I'm had bowls and bowls of yogurt with salted peanuts stirred inside the whole day.. i think I'm going mad....

I came off pill in january,had a normal period last month and this month am 5 days late,i have a caramp stitch feeling.done test it was neg.Has any1 had this?

I've just learned not to trust the symptoms I get in the 2ww cos they are so similar to pregnancy symptoms. That is what's confusing. I get fuller breasts, sore sensitive nipples, nausea, metallic taste, headaches, dizziness - the works. Each time for me has resulted in bfn.

The best advice I would give is to wait to see if your period is late hun, although people do get pregnant first month coming off bcp and sometimes while they are taking bcp (albeit not properly!) for most it takes a couple of months for the bcp to leave your system completely.

FX you do get your bfp though, just don't make the mistake I did by reading in to every single symptom cos it's heartbreaking when you get your period

[mummy_blues]

yup, which is why i am not testing until I expect AF (not) to arrive on tuesday with a HPT... as i mentioned, I ain't expecting too much. But many women and colleagues I know used the Clearblue digital OPK with smiley got pregnant the very first cycle (some right after the pill) and they are like 5-10 years older than myself.
So keeping my fingers crossed! hoping for a miracle.... lots of baby dust to you all ttc and good luck!

 

[Nessicle]

good luck hun!! to you and FX you get your bfp this cycle!

I am also not testing unless AF is late which I doubt she will be but hey ho!!
