First month off birth control- HELP!!!

We decided to begin TTC last month, my last period began April 5- I haven't taken the BC since before that. Well, we tried all month and I am now 2 days late for AF. I had bad cramping during the night a week away that lasted only an hour or so- implantation? I have taken 4 tests- 2 negative 5 days and 3 days before expected period, 2 inconclusive- 1 the day I missed my period and one 2 days after missed period- nothing showed up, not even the control line! I am completely obsessed with POAS- but I know I should just be patient since I am fresh off of BC after 11 years:/ Right now I am very bloated and gassy- TMI, sorry- my boobs are super swollen and tender- nipples are permanently sticking out, and I am not cold at all. I basically feel as though I should be starting my period at any second, in fact I have woken up in the middle of the night a few times this week sure that I had but nothing- I'm just very very moist. Speaking of moist, 15 days ago I know I ovulated- cramps on right side and egg white texture cm but it was discolored:/ 

Somebody please help, I am so confused and EVERYONE keeps telling me to just relax and let it happen.

    Do you chart? I highly recommend at least checking out the tutorial on fertilityfriend.com to get a feel for the process. There are also really in depth explanations of symptoms, cervical mucus, etc.

    You might have ovulated later than normal, so your period might not actually be late yet. I think the general recommendation is to test once a week until you've reached cycle day 60 and then consult your doctor. 

    Do you use blue dye tests? I've never used them, but from what I understand they are prone to evap lines that look like false positives.  

     

     

    I agree!! Fertility Friend is awesome!!   Also, I've never heard of blue dye tests...but i'm sure i'll stay away from them if i ever do see them!!

    This has been my first month off BC and TTC as well. AF was suposed to be here May 5th and never came. I've had 3 negative HPTs as well. I've been using Fertility Friend to chart my BBT and it has now indicated that I ovulated late and should be expecting AF the 20th of this month and if she doesn't make her visit I'm to test on the 24th. . I was only on BC for 2 1/2 years though. I quit mine back in the first week of April as well. So you might just be having a long cycle and ovulated late. If your cycle is longer than 60 days and you don't get a positive HPT or AF you might want to see your doctor. Hope this helps. Good luck!

    I agree with this... my first month off of BC pills I was TWO WEEKS late... I was P'ingOAS every other day... it was nerve-wracking! I have every classic early pregnancy symptom... [At this point...we hadn't even decided to really try yet... we were going to give it a cycle or two to get back to normal..]

    Anyhow...after FIVE negative tests... I FINALLY relented and decided that I needed to just reeeeeelax! I did and AF showed up the next day! :)

    This month we actually charted... and although I know it will be a long shot... I am still praying that AF doesn't come this Friday! LoL

    xoxox BEST OF LUCK! xoxox
