Hello, I'm new!

Hi everyone! My name is Sarah and I am just starting to browse thebump. DH and I are talking seriously about TTC very soon so I enjoy browsing your posts.

 

I have a silly question though. Last month I messed up a few times on my BCP, but still had my period. After reading some posts on these boards, I am starting to think that I have some symtoms...stomach pains (like I just worked out) and more than normal discharge. Do you think I am crazy? I guess I should just wait and see if I get my period! 

Anyway, I hope to "meet" you all as we get more serious about ttc!

hmm, based on those sypmotms and not knowing anything else about you, I'd say wait till you don't get your period before getting too excited. good luck

Hi! If you're serious about TTC, you should lurk more on here before posting (most of your questions will be answered that way and you get a feel for the tone of the board). You should also buy the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility (TCOYF) and start charting your cycles on www.fertilityfriend.com. FYI, your cycles will probably be crazy coming off of birth control (BCP) as well.

thanks for the book info!

You think you're pregnant after you had a period? You can test, but usually bleeding stops. Head games.

I suggest you read Taking Charge or Your Fertility and starting to chart when you get off BCP.

When I got off the pill my cycles were and still are AFU, I wouldn't know when to expect my period, when/if I was ovulating, anything. Thanks to charting I do know.

Hello and GL!

GL but I highly doubt you are pg since you've been on the pill. I missed countless pills and I never got ktfu. Also, when you first come off don't expect normal cycles, they will probably be all over the place for a bit. Definitely check out TCOYF and FertilityFriend.com.?
