Newbie questions about coming off nuvaring....

Hi girls, my husband and I have been TTC for one month now. I got off the nuvaring around july26, and got my period July 31. I have yet to get my period which I know I is normal, but for the past week I have been SO moody and emotional!! I feel like crying and screaming at the same time, for no apparent reason ! I started temping in the beginning of August.... And my temp went up a whole degree around August 20 and has not dropped, except for maybe .2 degrees, nothing significant. I took a pregnancy test at nigh (which I know your not supposed to do) and it came out negative. Has anyone else experienced these moody episodes after getting off BC? I'm sure its just my hormones going crazy and trying to regulate but im just curious. And how long does your temp stay up?? I've had slight cramping off and on, but nothing like my normal "Pms" signs, although at times I feel as though my period is "right there" but then nothing happens!

Re: Newbie questions about coming off nuvaring....
Sounds like you may have O'd Aug 20th. Can you link your chart?
Everything you're feeling is perfectly normal when coming off any hormonal birth control. It really varies from person to person with how long it takes before your periods regulate (and mood).
Call your doctor if it gets to 60 days and you get not AF.
I've actually just been writing the temps in a schedule book lol, I know that's not ideal! I'm going to go on fertility friend and start logging them
Hmmm....yeah, that is a little hard to interpret. Give www.fertilityfriend.com a look and you can chart your temps there. Also, as pgman said, it can take awhile for your cycles to regulate and a full year for a healthy couple to conceive. Take a peek at the Newbie link and lurk a bit. This board is a great resource. GL!
No prob. Welcome to the board and feel better soon!
Just wondering how everything turned out for you. I stopped nuvaring on and 10-07-12 and got my normal period on 10-9-12. I had a posistive OPK on 10-18-12, so I know I O'd. My period should have started 11-5-12, still nothing
. I have always been very regular 28 day cycles before and during BC. I have had several - HPTs. I feel no PMS symptoms. Not really any PG symptoms other than increased smells and some nausea around the time I should have started. I am only 4 days late. Wondering when I should start worrying and how everything turned out for you?
OPKs don't tell you that you're definitely ovulating. They tell you that your body is gearing up for it. It's possible that you didn't actually ovulate after that first +OPK. Especially when coming off of hormonal birth control, it wouldn't be surprising to get a few false starts. I'd highly recommend temping to confirm that you are actually ovulating when you think you are.
The usual advice applies. Test once a week until a BFP/your period/CD60. If you hit CD60, call your doctor.
