Whats going on !!!!!! Help. - Trying to Conceive (TTC) Message Board

Hi everyone, this is my first post and I'm really nervous and can't believe I'm even posting this......ok, I do but I'm hoping someone could convince me otherwise.

I've spend hours on here this week but actually started searching else where for info on side effects when stopping the pill but I've ended up here.

My hubby and I decided we wanted to TTC, I was on antibiotics for the last week of my pill ... had my pill free week and never started the next pack. I have been on the pill for over 15 years so have no idea when to expect a period or ovulation as my cycle is uPside down and back to front. All I expcted was to bleed very heavily when my pill stopped, for it to take a while for a regular cycle to return and to be able to concieve ....... I could n't have been more wrong !

Firstly, I didn't bleed when I stopped .... nothing wrong with this, it gave us the freedom to get busy which we did. I started getting side effects which I expected. Its now just over two weeks since my last pill ( cough, cough, and 3 weeks counting the antibiotics )

I'm having the most extreme mood swings, I'm low and tearful, I cant go into public ... I'm terrified to go out now, I'm very very bloated, headaches, I'm sleeping 2-3 hours a night more and am so exhausted I can hardly move, I had a little diarrea, completely off food ! ( I'm 88kg and normally LOVE food ) I can hardly think of food and the smell is horrendous, I've been feeling very nauseus and felt a little sick, my stomach ( above belly buton ) has been churning with a strange ( not heartburn ) feeling right up to my throat but has moved below belly button today and am having a little discomfort ( a strange feeling almost like a stitch but not painfull today when walking ), very painfull nipples, feeling hot and a slightly burning up feeling and today a bit of dischage when wiping with a hint of pinky but more brown in it.

I've researched stopping the pill and pmt but my symptoms in the begining were way to extreme and did n't really match what I was reading. I know the symptoms and everything I'm saying sounds very much like pregnancy ... I've been researching all week but surely I've not concieved first time within days of stopping the pill and I seem to have way too many symptoms far too quickly. ( I know it is possible and can happen but ........

)

I'm going to see the doc tomorow. I dont want to test too soon or get my hopes up too high.

I was n't prepared for it to happen THIS quicky, I'm excited but absolutely terrified lol.

Wondering what everyone else thought ? I know nothing really and my friend thinks I'm having a phantom pregnancy.

The best thing is to go your dr and see. And please keep me updated! I have heard that the antibiotics could have caused the pill to not work right so you may have gotten pg that wk you were on them.

Thx for replying, I can't blieve all these symptoms are a result of stopping the pill and am convinced I'm pregnant. I've been researching hard and am even more convinced .... I think I'm just terrified to admit it .... I was n't prepared for it to happen this quickly.

Been doing my sums and I only started on the antibiotics 23 days ago !!!!!
I know its possible but surely this has got to be a world record and the amount of symptoms so quickly is even more unbelievable.

I'll see what the doc says and let you know but surely I wont get a positive result so soon. Then again ...... maybe i'll break 3 world records in one go. lol

Thx so much, I'm going crazy here.

U should be able to get a pos or neg with blood work. Like I said I know a lot of girls who were on antibiotics while on the pill and it made the pill not work right and they got pg so who knows!

Just wanted to let you know that when I stopped the pill, I didn't bleed either for 3 weeks. Which was strange because I expected I would have my regular bleed during the pill free week since my body didn't know I was stopping the pill yet. I was convinced I was pregnant because had other symptoms too, but eventually did get my period - 3 weeks late. So it is still possible you're pregnant, but it may just be something similar to what I experienced. Good luck!
