What is my body doing!!!

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?

You body may just take a bit more time to get into a regular cycle after the pill. I would just keep my eye on all other fertility signs and just wait and see. If you haven't got AF in another week maybe test again.

Not sure if that is of much help, but good luck.

Got AF two days ago, I must have missed O by aagggeessss, either that or didn't O at all. Oh well, really glad to be able to try again!
