I came off the pill in November as we’ve decided to start trying. Just the fact that we’re trying has elated me I am so happy.

I’m 26 and have been on some kind of pill since I was about 15/16yrs old. All my life, my GP has led me to believe that if I miss just one pill, I could very possibly be pregnant.

A few years ago we weren’t in a position to start trying neither did we want to, and there was a week where I missed a few pills and I was terrified I’d be pregnant (well it wouldn’t have been terrible obviously but you know the sinking feeling when it’s completely the wrong time)

Little did I know, that it can and probably will take months for everything to get back to normal.

How annoying when you spend your life trying to prevent pregnancy thinking that one missed pill will get you pregnant and then when you become 26, stable, ready and want nothing more than a baby, you come off the pill, don’t get pregnant right away and it’s way more complicated than anybody ever told you!!!!!!!!

Keep telling myself to be patient and I’ll get pregnant when my body is ready but it doesn’t stop me googling every physical symptom clutching at straws 😂

Had two bleeds since stopping. Due period last Wednesday. Currently getting bfns and period is a no show, but not sure how accurate the dates are, how can I even relate my cycle to the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android">glow app</a> when I’ve just stopped the pill. Driving myself crazy but I know I just need to be patient and let things work!

Sure someone else can relate ? Lol xxxxx
