Any Ideas? So confused....

Hi there, I've been lurking around for a few weeks and you girls seem to have so much info and be so friendly and helpful I'm hoping to get some feedback. History in short, I've been on BCP continuously for about 6 years now(with a break occasionally) due to endometriosis. My boyfriend and I decided that we wanted to try and have a baby (2nd for me, DD is 8 1/2, 1st for him) So I went off BCP mid January followed immediately by AF a few days later, lasted 3-4 days. Ovulation calendars say approx Jan28, 29 was O day, and BD night was 28th.

I thought that being first month off the pill would give my body time to "straighten out" but the last week and a half have been filled with lower abdominal cramps, (like I've spent too much time in pilates class) sore breast, lower back pain, metallic taste in my mouth, slight headaches and salivating like some one had salt and vinegar chips under my nose..(TMI??) I did a HPT test on the 4th(neg) which is probably too early but the suspense was bugging me. AF is due monday, would I be able to tell anything this weekend or is it best to wait til she shows or not? Would it be possible to have just hit the right days so quickly?

Any help would be great as I am not telling anyone at work that were even trying, my office mate says her clock is chiming so loud it drives her nuts and I don't want to step on her toes.

thanks so much.....J

i would wait until monday to test. it might just be your body adjusting to being off bcp. good luck ttc it took me about 3 mos to conceive my first son but we werent really trying either.

Thanks, I want to try to wait, but hey, I'm kinda excited...lol. Now if only my chest would stop aching and the CM wasn't present really often I could not think about it and get some work done....lol Like you my ex and I weren't really trying when it happened with my first, so I wasn't really paying attention to all these little things, this time around is a different story. C'est la vie. :)

Hi, it's really hard to explain, I know I've gotten like a metallic taste after having touched a silver filling with a fork and if your ever had a penny in your mouth and experienced that...hope that helps explain it a bit. Might be different for someone else too...only lasted a few days that I noticed, but AF was supposed to show today and hasn't so far...I'll wait til the end of the week and test....maybe:)
