coming off the pill .... sysptoms similar to pregnancy!

[cherelle]

Did anyone else come off the pill and have so many symptoms so similar to pregnancy? eg bloated, feeling sick, hunger, bad skin etc....

Im currently on second month ttc and so confused! xx

 

[Mummy2Adam]

Ive been reading that they can be very similar as it can take a while for the pill to be fully flushed out of your system x

Hiya,my 1stmontg ttc after comin off the pill I was convinced I was pg,did far too many tests (all negative) then af showed up bang on time. Luckily I coceived in my 2nd month of trying but I honestly drive my dh mad in that 1st month,I was like a woman posessed...adamant that I knew my body and all the symptoms I had pointed to pregnancy but it was just the pill comin out my system. Good luck to u all xxxx

 

[cherelle]

Hi Cherelle

Frustratingly yes they are similar, I came off the pill in April after 13 years and ever since I have been permanently bloated, I have spot break outs, cramps, sore boobs.. you name it I have it... worst part is was last month I was so sure I was pregnant due to a long list of symptoms but sadly it just turned out to be a massive increase in hormones..... having some of the same symptoms this month so trying desperately hard not to read to much in to them... I think it is a case of not knowing until I have that stick in my hand telling me!!

Hopefully your body will sort itself out quicker then mine x

 

[cherelle]

what pill were you on vicky if you dont mind me asking? Mine was microgynon - i searched it online and it seems theres a few online forums where women are complaining of all these symptoms lasting a while.

Anyway i feel for you!!! Good luck and keep smiling! xx

I was on Celeste, to be honest I think all pills are pretty much the same it all depends on how quickly your body gets back to normal. It is scary how many things are masked by being on the pill and its only when you stop taking it that you realise, at the moment I feel like I am re-living my teenage years all over again!!

i was on micrognon before trying for my first when i came off it i caught pregnant two weeks later but this time being a bit older it seems to have taken longer to come out of my system we were trying this time for like 3/4 months whihc i know is nothing in the grand scheme of things but when you are waiting it seemd like an eternity.


you spend years worrying if you miss a pill or don't take it at the same time then when you stop taking it you worry about why your not getting bfp's lol being a woman is sometimes not fun!!

Good luck with ttc and hope you get your BFP soon ladies xx

sorry to hear ur af has come Charelle.

I have been on celeste since 2003, i stop taking it Sept 08 and fell pregnant straight away with my little boy, this time ive got a funny feeling its going to take longer. I woke up this morning and felt completely rubbish, my back is aching, i feel sick and my head feels like its somewhere else.

How is everyone else feeling today? X x

 

[cherelle]

thanks for all the supportive messages ladies! im trying to be positive now my af has come and look at it like a clean slate for this month - want to make sure i do everything right this month!!

good luck to all!

 

[Mummy2Adam]

Im feeling so confussed today, ive been telling myself that the symptoms ive got are all from coming off the pill, but this morning instead of feeling sick, i was and the smell of decaf coffee is making me feel 10x's worse. Ive also got small pimples on my areolas and my boobs are so sore. I really dont wana get my hopes up just incase it is just because ive come off the pill.
