Advice please?!

Hi I was hoping for come advice please. I had been on dianette for years before me and my husband decided it would be the best time to stop whilst he's away in Afghanistan. In all honesty, I wasn't taking the pill as regularly as I should before he left as I thought I would be fine having been on it for around 8 years. Anyway, I took the last pill on 19th September, we dtd on 23rd September (the day he left) but had obviously been having fairly regular sex prior to him leaving, then my withdrawal bleed started on 24th September. I was due to start my proper period this Monday (22nd) but as I've stopped the pill I expected my periods would be messed up and didn't think anything of being late. On Thursday evening I had a lot(!) stretchy, clear discharge when wiping and there was a globe of jelly like discharge on the tissue. Again yesterday afternoon there was a lot of the same kind of dc when I went to the toilet. I have been getting aches throughout my stomach and lower back all night but I wouldn't say it feels the same as period pain. This is more and ache than a bad pain. Could you please let me know your thoughts? I understand that before a period you should dry out and should really be getting and dc. Everything I've ready suggests that the clear, stretchy, slippery dc is an early sign of pg. Did this happen to you? I know the best way to find out is to do a hpt but I'm going to have to wait until Tuesday to buy one so any advice in the meantime would be appreciated?

  • Hi hun, it may take a little while for your periods to return to normal after being on the pill. The symptoms you've described sound like ovulation symptoms. The discharge you've described sounds like the stuff your body produces in the run up to ovulation (Google EWCM or egg white cervical mucus!) and some people get ovulation pains which could account for your aches and pains. When we were trying for a baby I found that everything and anything seemed to be a symptom. I really hope you get the result you're hoping for hun. Keep us posted! Good luck! xx
  • Thank you. That's made me feel a bit better. As much as I'd like to start TTC next year, I'd want my husband to be here every step of the pregnancy. Xx
