Slowlyfading - they are signs but also be warned that when you come off the pill you often get a lot of 'pregnancy' symptoms.

I didn't have the metalic taste, but I pretty much had all the symptoms after coming off nearly 7 weeks ago. It subsided once af arrived, so I hope you get back in to a normal cycle Slowly

I second this!

When I came off the pill my b00bs were soooooo sore - for weeks! In fact, it turns out that they were actually sorer coming off the pill than they have ever been whilst pregnant!

I know it's hard not to obsess, I was obsessed when trying to conceive DD. I'd like to say I'd be less obsessed the next time but who am I kidding?! Google is the work of the devil!

It is hard! And yes, must not look up things

It's probably just that...

Really? Gosh, the pill does strange things to your body... which they don't tell you about at the time!

Musogirl295 I did read in one of my apps (yes, I have more than one!), that you get a surge of LH about a week after AF, which then goes down, and then you get a bigger surge just before OV. This totally made sense to me the first month I used a digital OPK. I still got darkish bands on the IC about CD 7-11 which then went, but were never as dark as the control line. The digi said no surge at this time. Then about a week later (I now know I OV around CD 16, much later than I thought) I got the smiley face on the digi and a dark line on the IC. I would persevere and keep testing until you know for sure you are way past your OV timing. You never know, you might get another surge later than you think.

Thanks devildolly. I'm going to keep testing for a few days longer just in case. I've had a very faint (almost non existent) line today, but I think from my symptoms earlier in the week I did ovulate.

Hi all hope everyone is okay.

Had an appointment with the doctor today and I've been referred for blood tests because he's worried that my pain might be down to coeliac disease or thyroid problems (not too sure what though). I'm a bit worried though because I've read that fertility is lower with coeliac because the body can't absorb folic acid and stuff. I have been taking folic acid tablets which might help. I don't know which outcome I'd prefer!

Sorry to hear that lulu, hope they get to the bottom of your pain soon.

Can I be updated to cd1 please? :-( I had the most horrendous cramps today and AF has now reared her ugly head! I have to say I do not ever remember being in this much pain before I went on the Pill.
