    Well I came off the pill in Feb for the first time in 10 years too. I got UTD the very first cycle although it seems my cycle was a little longer than the standard 4 weeks which made things difficult. It wasn't until just over 5 weeks since my LMP that I got my BFP. I had similar symptoms to you (the main ones being the sore and swollen BB's and gassy). Unfortunately for me I had a miscarriage not long into that pregnancy.

    Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is yes, you could be UTD but perhaps it is too soon to tell yet. If you can, hold out for a week or so and then test again. Good luck!

    I agree waiting is probably the best thing to do right now. I came off the Pill in June and didn't ovulate for 5 months, and the period I'm currently having is the first one I've had for 4 months. I've been told it CAN take up to two years for your cycle to settle down - but as chody's experience shows, it can happen straight away. Time will tell.

    I to got pregnant straight away after coming off the pill after ten years. So your cycles can take awhile to come back, or come back with a vengance! Wait until you are due and then test. That must be around now though.

    Red face Thanks everyone!

    Thanks so much for your responses! I am still feeling the same way... Technically if I'm on a 28 day cycle I'm due for my period this Thursday! So... I was thinking, I'd wait, see if anything happens after a few days and then maybe test on the weekend. Just to be sure! THANKS for all of the kind words and hopes! xoxo!

    Thumbs down Not this month...

    Well, just to let you ladies know... I had a visit from AF today, so not preggers this month... Oh well! At least I got my period first month off the pill I suppose! Definitely some strange symptoms from withdrawal after ending the pill... What a bummer!
