Hi,

I'm new to the forum, been lurking for a few weeks (ok, months) now because my husband and I have just started TTC #1.

I stopped taking the pill last month, got the withdrawal bleed, had been taking folate for a couple of months before that, and also started taking Natures Own conception support (both of us, boys and girls version). I'd been on the pill for 9 months, but I'd been on it before when I was 18 and had stopped it after around 9 months then too and got my usual AF straight away, however THIS time - nothing. Just a bunch of cramps and a bad mood. Oh, and an acne breakout. I'm on CD 35, thought I O'd day 16/17 (cramps and EWCM) but after 5 BFN I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant. I just don't understand why I would get usual O symptoms and then no AF? My Mother got pregnant first try with my brother and sister after coming off the pill (she took 3 months with me, but my Dad was only home on the weekends!) so I didn't really expect any huge delay.

I guess I know this is just a usual coming off the pill thing, but it's frustrating cos now I don't know when to try for next month, or even the month after that depending on when AF shows up. Anyone else get O symptoms around usual time then major AF symptoms but no AF?
