Rough Day - so frustrated (sorry for the long post)

in Trying to Get Pregnant

Hey guys - I've posted a few times, but Im still new - this is my first cycle off the pill.  I've had a lot of symptoms - and as with all things, they mean I could be prego, I could be adjusting to not taking the pill, or it could just be nothing.  I am now 20 DPO - no AF and absolutely none of the signs I am used to having (from when I was on the pill) that AF is coming - no spotting, no senstive nipples, no "I'd like to kill everyone" PMS attitude....nothing.

If you care to check out my chart, you'll notice I stopped temping 3 days ago b/c I'm so frustrated right now - I've taken 2 tests, both neg, but no AF.  I'm having this pain in my abdomin that I've been marking as "O pain" b/c that is the closest option on FF - but it ranges from an ache to a sharp pain around my ovaries and lower abdomin (both sides).  I have no idea what that means.

I am so frustrated b/c I just want SOMETHING to happen - I feel like I want to POAS every 30 minutes until one comes up + or AF starts - but I really can't do anything at this point....except sit at my desk, try not to cry out of frustration, and convience my co-workers that I'm fine.

    Your ticker doesn't link to your chart, can you post a link to your chart? I think you meant CD30...not 30 DPO.

    P.S. Prego is something you shouldn't say on this board, it's best to stick with pregnant or PG. Just a heads up...

    Same here.

    Also, it may take awhile for your body to adjust back to normal now that you're off BC so everything could be wonky because this is your first cycle off. The only thing I can suggest is POAS once a week until you get a BFP or AF shows, and after 60 days if neither show call your doc. GL.

    This is normal coming off BC. I'm a prime example unfortunately...Cycle 1 CD 65. No AF and a bunch of BFN's to go with it. Sucks but it's just the way it is. Hang in there Smile

    When I first when off BCP I was 7 weeks late. Not pregnant - just adjusting.

    What you are experiencing are probably just symptoms of coming down off from the hormones since you are just now coming off the pill. I had 3 full months of horrible pains in my lower ab area. There were days my guts hurt so bad I wanted to cry. I know you are frustrated, but you may need to give your body time to re-regulate. Even though your chart may show that you O'ed (I can't see your chart right now) you may not have, or FF may move your date. You just have to give it time. In the meantime if you haven't read TCOFY, check it out, it is a good read. And keep asking questions here. There are a lot of really smart ladies here, and you will learn a lot. GL!

    Thanks guys - I "know" it is prob. just hormones adjusting...but "knowing" something doesn't make you any less emotional some days.  I'll try to be patient and hopefully I don't have to wait 60 days with nothing to show for it.  

    its nice to have someone to vent to - thanks a bunch.

    I know it wont make you feel better but I'm still waiting to O. I have not at all since I stopped my BCP's 6 months ago. It really stinks and I know its tough to keep charting because NOTHING IS HAPPENING but keep going. Hopefully something happens. After 90 days they will give you provera to jump start your period. Good Luck.
