Hiya All,

I have been ttc for 28 days now & i have all the symptoms of being pregnant (nausea, Tiredness, cramping in lover ab) but i can't decide whether it's just my mind playing tricks on me & i am just awaiting my af...or is it the real thing!!!??
Arrrgggghhh!!

Have you thought about doing a test Lucyloo? Goodluck.xxx

Hi Hun, when is AF due?? xx

I don't really know when it's due because i've just come off the pill!!! My sis got pregnant 1st month of coming off pill so pinkies crossed!! if all was well i suppose my AF would be due about Sat!! I think i might wait until Sat/Sunday & then do a test! I just don't want to feel let down if it's not the real thing!

If it is your first month off the pill i'd wait till at least Sunday to test hun. Hopefully you will be lucky like your sis and fall straight away but the pill can do crazy things to your body.

Good luck hun
Baby dust for you

Ooooo, I'm the same Lucy. I've had so many encouraging symptoms off and on but because I've had the odd funny month with my periods over the last couple of years I'm worried it is my body tricking me.

I felt sick again this morning for about 3 hrs but it passed when I sipped a drink and now I'm OK. I've had symptoms for about 60-70% of the time since ovulation but as I'm sitting here just now the sickness has passed from this morning I generally feel not so bad (maybe I have a little backache but not much) and I don't feel as thirsty as I have been over the past few days. So at points like this I wondered whether I imagined it all!

I am going to test on Saturday as well, though AF is not due until Monday. If you bought an early test then it would cover you if AF was not due until a few days later.

Good Luck!

Update...just went to loo & there was brownish blood on the tissue paper!! bah!!! i think AF is here!!! grrrrr! GUTTED!

True true SB...i do hope she's stays away though. Here was me thinking all the signs were something else...but no!! I suppose this is my first month off pill, so it was always going to be a wierd cycle for me i suppose!!

I've had nausea, headaches, tiredness, sore breasts, increased awareness of smell (which my mum had when pg) for about a week now. AF not due for another 6 days so not sure if I've got proper symptoms or if I'm kidding myself!

Oh well, I'll just continue to wait and see...

I haven't had sore boobs which i think is a sign alot of people get so think i have been totally kidding myself!! gutted gutted gutted!!! x

i dont think any of you are kidding yourself with the symptoms... your body knows best!..
good luck everyone... xx

Hi Lucyloo!

very similar in that just come off the pill, 24 days now and i have had what feels like evry symptom going!! lower backache, bad cramping, stabbing pains, super sore nips and grown a cup size boobs, nauseus, blocked up , tirdness, peeing loads..... it's rediculous!! And i am gonna be so annoyed if it all just turns out to be one big body trick!!!

Blummin body!! Maybe it's for the best though...let my body get back into a routine after years on the pill.

Yeah deffo, as much as i so so so want this to be a pg, i wouldn't be all that bummed if it turns out to be af so that i can just get some kind of cycle going!!! however i will be peed that all these body malfunctions are for nothing!!

def, i hope that if it takes me say 6 months to get pg, that i don't have 5 months of my body playing tricks!! it'll send me slowely barmy!

One of my closest friends came off the pill in Jan last year and had all those symptoms but it was just her body readjusting as her period arrived on time.

When I started ttc in Sept I also had a few symptoms - very sore nipples, blocked nose, some cramping. Then I started bleeding at about 32 days and I assumed I had the same experience as her. But when the bleeding wasn't progressing (used to have very heavy periods) I did a sneaky pregnancy test and got my BFP...

Like SB said, spotting isn't necessarily your period. And even if it is then it's a good sign that your cycles aren't all mucked up. I'm still keep my fingers crossed for you!

Thanks Heaps. I went to the loo before & there was no blood! I've got my toes/fingers/arms...(everything but legs) crossed!! I think i'll wait until after the weekend now & see what happens!!!

Oooo, just read through other posts but I was also going to say it could be implantation - got my fingers crossed for you xxx

I wouldn't get your hopes up sorry, sounds word for word like my story, first month ttc off pill, all pg symptoms, then day 34 period came. Sorry to be bearer of this news, but I think should try wait and not get hopes up.

yeah def i am the same v sore bbs cramps cm v v v tired at mo but am not trying to convince self as i too have only been off pill 28 days af due 16th ish too early to test i know x
