Anyone Else Have This Happen? Posted: 08-20-05 13:12pm
:?:
i just stopped taking the pill the first
week of july 2005 after being on it for 8
years. My husband and I did this because
we heard from my ob that it could take
several months until I can get pregnant
and we were hoping to be pregnant by
christmas or mid-winter. But- I just
found out two days and two tests ago that
I am about 4-5 weeks pregnant and it is
only august 20th. I read that studies
show that getting pregnant soon after
stopping the pill has no increased chances
of miscarrige or birth defects, in fact,
they found that it slightly reduces these
chances.
Has anyone else here gotten pregnant this
quickly after stopping the pill? How did
the pregnancy go or how is it going? I
have yet to see my ob, she won't see me
until my 8th week. What do you think?!?!

I have never been through this and I don't
have much experience with it, but I just
wanted to wish you luck! You should be
just fine!

Thanks jlee,
i have been taking the vitamins and
pleanty of folic acid for well over a
month now. Having a hard time getting
energy to get up and exercise. What kind
of exercise should I do since it should be
moderate? Walking, tredmill, stationary
bike?

I actually have been slacking on the
exercise and my body is really starting to
feel it. I have been taking my vitamins
but I have been pretty sick. Ive
basically sat on the couch and the
computer for the past 3 weeks.
I went to go get the mail today and walked
up the big flight of stairs to my front
door.... Wow, I was winded and my legs
were aching... Its only a 3 minute walk!
Lol
so I agree, exercise is definitely a good
thing. I am going to start walking
around my development and when I feel a
little better, maybe jog some. Also,
fresh air is great too!

Well, I just got back from being on the
tredmill for only 16 minutes, walking
normal pace. I was winded and my tummy
felt a little crampy.
But it is ok now.
Is mild cramping normal? I am calling my
ob tomorrow because I saw a little bit of
light pink blood on the tp after
urinating. Unfortuately, I had a bit of
diareah then too so I can't tell what
really happened. Anyone else experience
these things? Anyone also have difficulty
with making bm's like one week you can't
go, the next week you always have to go?
There seems to be no in between. Sorry so
gross, I just want to know.

that sounds like the premise of gilligan's
island !! You're lucky you got home at
all !!!!!
I would've ditched the bike (and whoever
dragged me out there in the first place)
and called a cab.
As for the brith control question- I
actually fell pregnant while taking the
pill and i'd been on it for at least 6
years at the time. I know have a
perfectly healthy 2/12 year old duaghter,
who is also unbelieveably inteligent
(biased? Never !!!)
i'm almost 30 weeks pregnat now, and got
pregnant a month after giving up the pill.
Baby seems perfect so far.
You should be fine. Apparently there is
an increased chance of concieving twins
just after stopping the pill, so you could
even be twice as fine !!!!
Congratulations!

I took a blood test yesterday, my hcg was
only 130. I test again tomorrow. But, I
started to bleed again today, and now I
have mild cramping. It looks like a
strange but heavy period, so I am not
going to get my hopes up at all, I am
pretty positive that I lost my baby...I
think I have cried all my tears, all day
yesterday and most of today. I don't want
to cry anymore...But I am sure I will for
a while. My husband and I will have to
wait 3 months to start trying for another
baby. If I had only waited 4 more days to
take my pregnancy tests, I would have just
thought I was having my first period off
my birthcontrol...A month late. Too late
for if onlys. I guess I just have to keep
myself busy. Luckly I start a new job in
a couple weeks, that should keep my mind
off of things.
