I came off my mini pill on April 1st, the same night we DTD because due to my history with my periods I was expecting the next week at least to be VILE, so I thought I'd enjoy one for the road 
... anyway...
Fast forward to the 3rd or 4th (I'm sorry I can't remember my days are all muddling into one); I'd put a pad on because AF was definitely coming that day and I didn't want to get caught out at work, when I went to change my pad it was more brownish in colour than I expected, so I'm like, here we go....
April 4th; Still no AF. I went to bed early because I was tired (I'd not been able to shake that 'just got up groggy' feeling all day), but I work super early so nothing new there, I had been having more frequent naps after work, but put that down to coming off my pill. Anyway, I noticed my throat was hurting a little, thought nothing of it until I woke up at like 1am in absolute agony with it. My alarm went off at 4am for work, I got up, still feeling horrid, got there, and then one silly little thing made me have a mini breakdown, and I ended up in tears in the toilet, and even at the time I remember knowing that this was my hormones fault, and I was just tired, but I knew it wasn't my usual self. Also felt sick on and off, but could have been due to being hungry or drinking too much water, as I've been trying to keep more hydrated.
It wasn't until someone asked me if I could be pregnant. And then it got me wondering. Now we've spoke about TTC before but no one knew I'd come off my pill. She advised I do a HPT which obviously came back BFN.
Current day, 6th April; Still no AF. As I was typing this I could feel some twinges to my right side. Still poorly, main symptoms are sore throat and blocked nose with a little nausea and headache in between. I'm also going to add at this point that I'm bringing up the illness because I'm usually not one to get ill, I've had maybe 2 colds in the last year or more that I can remember, this being one of them.
So, to get to the point of why I'm actually here... well, firstly, anyone have any unexpected experiences coming off the mini pill? And to rule pregnancy out, would I begin my 2WW on April 1st when we DTD and I didn't take my pill for the first time? I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant because what are the chances of falling pregnant the same night you stop the pill- now I know there is a chance, so I'm taking folic acid (I'd do this anyway but still) and stopping drinking till I know for sure. But I'm quite aware that the test I did yesterday would be too early, I'm just not sure how long to wait for an accurate result on the basis that I'm not technically due AF, if anything I'm still waiting for my withdrawal bleed?
I was thinking that April 1st I would class as ovulation, and count my 2ww from there? But since I'm also new to all this, when could I sneak an earlier test in? Maybe 10/11 dpo?
Sorry if this is a long read, I've got no one else to ask because I'm not telling people we're trying, and this is my first time TTC so its all new to me.
