???? about going off pill, and ovulating

Hey Girls.

I posted last week about some stuff, and still have not gotten AF. Just a quick recap..

I stopped my pill about a month and a half ago, because it made me crazy. I had a really nasty black period right after I finished my last package. Then about a week after that finished, i had a pretty normal period. Severe cramping, and lasted about 5 days. Completely normal.

Well I think I am about 3 days late, (I was terrible at keeping track last month) I have had very very mild cramping for about a week. I spotted (more like a thick brown discharge) about a week ago, and then again on Thursday, and then a little more today. Nothing more than once when I wiped. I have been nauseous, super tired, and have had more heartburn than usual. (In the morning when I wake up especially) On Thursday I kind of felt like I was ovulating, but not 100% sure---(which would have been a week or 2 later than expected) I don't know if I am pg, or what. I am wondering if going off the pill delayed my ovulation and if so, will that delay my period????? Does anyone know that?? I was only on the pill for 5 months, and I know I ovulated my last month on the pill because I missed a few in the first week which would cause me to. Sorry if this is all to confusing, but I just need to vent or someting.

I am just wondering if it sounds to you girls like I may be pregnant...

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, but I am not sure. You may be pregnant, but try not to get your hopes up too quickly as it is really painful if your system is just screwed up. (I know) I was on the pill for 7 years though, and I got off in May and have not had a natural period since. I am just starting my second (drug-indiced) period since then. My husband and I am dying to TTC but my systme is not cooperating. GOod luck to you, as I am sure everythign will work out. Just beware of the fact that BCP can screw you up.
