Coming off the pill - huge increase in appetite!!

[SammyRo]

Wel, we're trying to conceive #2, and I came off the pill at the start of my last period, but since then my appetite has been huge - I can't seem to stop eating and I've packed on about 4 kg's : I even had to dig the maternity jeans out today as I've no jeans that fit me (well, I do have 2 pairs but they are covered in mushed banana, baby snot and lots of other things, thanks DD!)
Did anyone else find this? ALso the week after my period, I was the most hormonal b*itch! poor DH! It was just the generic mini-pill as I was bf until DD was 11months.

Also, last time we were extremely lucky - i stopped taking the pill and then was pregnant in my first cycle - it was a different brand of pill though. But I was wondering with the mini-pill, would I ovulate about the same time, ie 14 days or whatever it is after the 1st day of my lmp? I know I should chart - I might next period if there's no BFP. If so, then my period should be this weekend, but I don't want to test too early in case I didn't ovulate when I calculated.

(BTW, i can't remember from last time, what does bfn/bfp stand for exactly?)

I'll come introduce myself in the TTC 1-6 months thread.

Oh dear, I heard about the potential to gain some weight after coming off the pill- but wasn't aware of that.

It could just be your hormones fluctuating and trying to sort themselves out after coming off the pill, however, if the weight gain & appetite continues I'd be buying a pregnancy test!!

Best of luck.... I hope you get your BFP soon!

Well, it must have just been the hormones, because after three bfn's my period turned up a week later than i calculated. Ah well, my appetite has settled down luckily!
