Just went OFF the pill
| Sat, 02-14-2004 - 3:04pm |
About 2 weeks ago. This week has been a tough week with cramping and really, really stretchy CM. I am not temping/charting, but I would assume my cramping is due to ovulation. My only thoughts are that I do no remember ovulation pain (one sided) lasting 4 days. Do you think this is normal? I also had sex with my DH earlier in the week and last night. We didn't put on a condom until the end. Coulld I possibly get pregnant?

Coming off hormones can be uncomfortable. I wouldn’t think you would be having 4 days of ovulation pain, where the ovum bursts from the mature follicle but it could be from the effect of your estrogen peak on you uterus. If you have stretchy CM then there is a good chance you will or have ovulated. You could become pg during this period as there is some sperm in his pre-ejaculate. If becoming pg now is a problem you might want to consider EC. Plan B is most effective during the first 72 hrs. but is still somewhat effective up to 5 days later. Insertion of a copper IUD is effective for up to 10 days after the IC in question.
Good luck
