no period after stopping pill - want to ttc!!!

[clucky1]

Hi everyone,

Im new to this and planning ttc #1 very shortly (in the next few weeks - trying to time it with an overseas trip!)

Im feeling very lost and need advice...not getting the answers i need from my doc, and feeling kinda sad/over it...

i stopped the pill mid jan, but had no withdrawl bleed...still havent gotten a period...my cycles were quite normal before i went on yasmin 2 1/2 years ago...

im curious as to whether me not getting my period will prevent me from getting pregnant? i know it sounds stupid and i shoulkd probably know the answer, but i dont...:confused:

im just frustrated and sick of waiting...not sure how long it will take, then there will be another waiting game till i do get pregnant...:(

someone please help me before i go bonkers!:hair:

Is it possible you are already pregnant?

How long has it been exactly?
Longer than 28 days?

Yes its possible you could already be pregnant as I've heard it is quite common to ovulate straight after stopping the pill like that mid-cycle.

But when I came off the pill when ttc#2 my first period was 2 weeks late and I am usually like clockwork otherwise. So your body may take some time to settle down into normal cycles - frustrating I know when you just want to be pg!!!! I got pregnant on my 2nd cycle after coming off the pill though :) so it won't take long hopefully!

Good luck :babydust2:

i was wondering the same thing!

[clucky1]

no im not pregnant...have done 2 preg tests and we have been very careful (using protection) because we have been waiting for AF to arrive...

im so confused. this is horrible.

yep, its def been longer than 28 days...

is this normal? i was expecting a withdrawl bleed, then was happy to wait a few months even, until i got my real period...but i didnt even get that and now i feel anxious all the time...

im 25 and new to the baby making world - so sorry if i sound like a paranoid mess!

It could take some time before a HPT picks up the HCG in your blood - you may still be pregnant - was there anytimes that being careful wasn't so careful??

[clucky1]

no im 95% sure we have been super careful...maybe i should do another test?

thanks for everyone to helping me out so quickly! :)

The whole ttc game is awful isn't it??? I found that everytime I realxed and stopped thinking about ttc is when I fell pregnant. Sometimes being so wound up/stressed about wanting to be pg, can also stop your period from arriving on time. I thought I was pg a couple of months ago and took a hpt. It was neg and the next day AF arrived.

[clucky1]

yes it is...i wish i could just de-stress, forget about it and let nature do its thing, but its hard.

[HoopDeeDoo]

try not to stress yet, you stopped mid jan, and it's only mid feb. It may be that your pregnant, or your cycle is just taking it's time.
Maybe get your GP to do a bood test?

I got pregnant first cycle off the pill with DS1 and DS2, so it is possible :thumbsup:

[clucky1]

i will wait a little while longer...if still no AF, will go c the GP. thanks everyone!

Hello Clucky1,
I'm in the same boat came off 1st Jan and still no AF and every :bfn: in the book.
your not a paranoid mess because if you are that means I am too :) TTC gets a whole lot tougher when the waiting game comes in to it you think yes we will and then a big fat stop sign comes up.
I think about it every day but believe that bub will come when it's good and ready (already disobeying mum not a good sign:laughing:) I wont say relax because it's imposable but Good Luck.

Hi lovely gals....I am new to this forum....planning to go off my pill soon ..however, not planning ttc in the next few months.

I was wondering if u guys have any reccomendations of omega-3 tablet brand? Also for ur preconception visit did u have to ask ur ob to do certain checkups? or did she reccomend it all on her own??

I just said pre pregnancy and she did the rest though now I do wish id asked about toxoplasmoses but that has more to do with how I like my meat cooked than anything else.

[lovelymomtobe]

Dear Baby O...thanks for ur reply:)
Well I am not a meat eater so I wouldn't need to know abt it I guess...I was wondering did the Doc reccomend any brand of omega 3 nsupplement to any of u gals?

[lovelymomtobe]

Hey Lovely gals...has anyone used this product to see their fertile period? Is it pretty good? Also when should u start checking ur ovulation ...is it just before u start ttc or in the months after stopping the pill when ur making ur body ready for pregnancy??

[BabyO]

Lovelymomtobe,
Mine gave me Fefol Multi-Preg its a multivitamin and has all sorts of good stuff for bub's.

It wont hurt if you want to check your ovulation (other that the cost) if you want to start charting your cycle there's no reason you shoudent.

I was thinking about the pre pg test just ask what they normaly test for and see if theres anything you want to add eg. I made shure Hep was there as I'm in a high risk indistry and wanted to see if my last boster was still good.
