weird question. . .

May 25th was the last day I took BCP. Every since I was on the pill it made my cycle go from the normal every 28 days like clockwork, to a 20-22 day cycle. I know that is real weird but the BCP does the same to my sister and I.  We have both tried many different brands and higher doses over the years, with the same results.

Long story short- My 1st cycle off the pill was right back to clockwork! 28days! kinda good?. . .  So this month I decided to try and track my CM after watching the FF videos on the site. I was to ovulate around the 3rd and had that crampy feeling a few days before.  I know many women say they can feel when "O" happens and I was thinking that maybe the slight period like cramps I was experiencing was just that.

Well, keeping track of the CM did not show the classic signs of ovulation?? Not any at all this month so far.  Is it possible for CM to be off?? Kinda confused? Do you think I should try the ovulation predictor kit next month maybe?

The BCP kinda screwed me over on the normal cycle thing! It sucks, and I have been on the pill for many years! :( bummer

Any thoughts or suggestions??  Thanks in Advance!

    Yes, it's quite possible to have your CM be off. You can't always pinpoint ovulation by CM. I think your best bet would be to get a copy of Taking Charge of Your Fertility and look into charting.

    I don't see how the BCP screwed you over on the normal cycle thing. Not everyone has a 28 day cycle, and most people don't. And not everyone ovulates on the 14th day of their cycle.

    Start keeping track of your cycle and see how it pans out for you.
