Whats going on with me??

Hi all,

I am in a weird situation here... I got off BCP after 2.5yrs around Mid-May. Then I got my first AF on July 10th. Now it is Aug 25th but nothing so far.Before BCP, my cycle used to be about 27-28 days usually. My DH and I BD'd a few times around the estimated O time based on a27 day cycle, even though I wasn't charting or anything........just because I guess.

But about 10 days agoor so, I have slight cramps like I used to get just before AF.No cramps now, but for the past week I keep having this nauseous feeling....it is not so strong that I throw up, but I am losing apetite and no foods appeal to me.Other than that I have no symptoms worth mentioning. I've read somewhere that after one goes off BCP, sometimes hormones can make them feel nauseous/uncomfortable??? Is that happening to me?? Or should I take an HPT??!! This would be my first TTC so I have no experience.My BBs are not really sore all the time, sometimes they get sensitive, not really SORE.

Is it probably worth a test, but I am not even sure if I have waited long enough??? And also what kind of HPTs do you all ladies recommend?? Any favorites??

I will be grateful for any advise/responses.......I feel a little lost here :-|

Thankyou all so much, it is just so comforting even to read this board and see I amnot alone with my weird symptoms.

Thanks.

Yes, your body can be messed up after going off BCP, but its worth a test just so you will know. If its been atleast 15 dpo then I would test. Dont be concerned if its a BFN, it may take you a while to get back to normal after going off BCP. Let us know and Good Luck!

Thankyou, is there anything specific to look for when I pick out a HPK?? Do brands/name/types etc make a difference or are they all pretty much the same??

Thanks.

You sound pregnant!! That throwing up is a dead give away!! YES, go get a test, any test is fine. You're far enough along any of them should do...even the equate brand. Do post and let us know if you are!!! Are you tired? MOre emotional? Any other symptoms? Let us know here at the boards!! Amanda

Thanks for the positive words :-). Well actually while I am a little nauseous....I am NOT throwing up...it is usually not that strong. I am a little tired though. But anyway, I am hoping to get lucky here. I'll test in the next couple of days and let you all know!

Thanks again & good luck to all!
