Pregnant or not..?

Hi everyone,
I recently stopped taking the pill after using it for about 10 years because we want to have a baby.
Last month (the first month) I got my period after 27 days.
This month I've been having a lot of discomfort from a bloated/tight stomach. Now on day 21 of my cycle, it seems to be getting worse. My breasts also feel very sensitive.
Today I suddenly had sharp pains in my lower abdomen, which lasted about 10 minutes (I really had to sit down). After that, no more discomfort.

My question is whether this is still part of coming off the pill, or if it's more of a sign of pregnancy?
I'd also love to hear others' experiences.

    Hi NM,

    It could be either. But it's already great that you got your period nicely on time.
    I also have a shorter cycle and got pregnant after just one period, too, after 15 years of the pill.
    So it could be... But it could also be implantation bleeding.
    Can't wait to hear!

    Uhm, "ontpitten" is a typo for "ontpillen" (the act of taking the pill)

    Thank you for your reply. I'm also very curious. Unfortunately, just a little more patience.

    hey missy

    I don't want to be annoying, but when I stopped the pill, I didn't get my period for half a year. I thought I was pregnant, everything seemed to match. But I went to the gynecologist and wasn't pregnant. I got a pill to get my period back on track, and since then I've been very regular. And quickly pregnant.

    Hi Elineke,

    You're not annoying at all! I'm actually happy to read other stories and experiences.
    Did you also have brown discharge before your period really started?
    I don't suspect I'm pregnant either, but secretly hoping is allowed, right?
    On the other hand, I don't mind so much if I get my period because then I can also keep a better eye on my cycle in case it becomes regular.

    hey,

    Yeah, I also had brown discharge when my period was about to start.
    Now I don't remember anymore Haha.
    I had an IUD for 3 years so no periods and then got pregnant and now waiting for my first period to return
    UGH

    I hope for you that you are pregnant.
    xx
