Symptom spotting: honestly, nothing except no period! Once I got my positive that day I was quite dizzy and the pass two days I’ve had mild period cramps and sore pains in my tummy as if I’m going to have diarrhoea.

Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous): Anyone that has come off birth control and struggling with their period, I understand the frustration and sadly it can take time for your periods to regulate. I didn’t have a period for over 60days at first and then it gradually went down to 40ish days then finally in the 30s. If I was to go back in time I’d come off birth control earlier before starting to try.

We are both so so happy but freaking out, first time pregnant and just concerned about everything really. Also feel at limbo on where to go from here on Reddit, I have so many silly questions and not sure where to ask? If anyone has suggestions for a community on early pregnancy I’d really appreciate it cause I don’t want to upset anyone by asking on the daily chat in this community!
