off bc, no af, bfn, who's with me???

hi, I took off the bc patch on 5/7, started af as normal on 5/10 and haven't started new af since. I had a blood test on 7/5 got bfn. now it's 7/12 and still no af. I know it can take up to 3 months to start af after stopping bcp so really it could take another month for me, but COME ON ALREADY!!!

we did bd on 6/25 so if I conceived on that day then I think it would still show bfn on a blood test, I guess I can do hpt this weekend but I know it is very unlikely I am pg. Just WAITING for af and I have no clue when it's coming

It's hard to swallow the bfn's until I get af, even though I know I need to accept it I just am dying for af to get here if I'm really not pg...

thanks for letting me get this off my chest!!!

hi! that is good advice, thank you. still no af yet, haven't tested again since bfn on 7/16. I don't want to take anymore hpt's. I'm going to schedule a dr appt for next month. 8/10 will be 3 months since last af, I'm starting to be a little concerned. I was so sure af was going to come on our camping trip, glad she didn't but I want to see af or bfp ASAP!

anyone else have updates?

I don't know what's going on at the moment either. AF hasn't showed up yet and all hpt's are BFN. I'm with ya. Something happen soon, either way!!!

I have to say, I'm in the same boat except that I know that I don't have any cysts. They checked that out last month at my annual exam. So, as far as for me, I have absolutely no idea. I wasn't on BCP very long at all.

when did you stop using bc/ when did your lmp start? good to know you don't have any cysts. I scheduled a dr appt for 8/9 so that would be 3 months since lmp. maybe I'll get af before my appt but at least I know I have an appt set up just in case. I'm not going to take any hpt's until then. I've heard if you have cysts it's pretty easy to clear them up with meds, do you know anything about it?

Well, let's just say that I wasn't on it long enough for it to even get into my system (3 days). That was last month. My lmp was June 21, which my AF was due on July 18. My AF is NEVER late. 2 hpt's have shown a BFN and AF is a no arrival. Good luck at your DR's appt. I figure, if nothing shows up by Aug. then I will go to the dr. I hope you get some answers. Good luck!!!! Keep me posted. If you want, my email is meroberts26@aol.com

I've heard some can be cleared up with meds and others surgery. I think it all depends on how many and how big. I think my friend is on meds for it. THey checked for cysts on me because I have such HORRIBLE cramps with AF. Let's just say they are so bad that either I have to lay down or just sit. Laying down is better though. Good luck !!!

Hi Everyone.... Baby dust to all....

I am 28 and my husband is 35. We have one DD who is 16 months. DH and I know we want to start trying for #2 after summer, so I went off BCP's in May and got AF on 5/22. She has not shown since. DH and I weren't being very careful, but weren't really preventing. I have yet to get a +HPT.

I called my Dr. and she doesn't seem concerned and she said to call back if AF doesn't come by the end of August.

Any advice?? I have been testing with First Response, and nothing. Last test was mid day Friday 7/21 and BFN!!

Thanks,
Selena

I am in the same boat, lmp 6/13 and on day 42 with no AF in sight, but I completely have symptoms that she should have been here, like a week ago! It is comforting to know that others are going through the same dilemma as me, but then again, it sucks because I know that it is normal....I just wish AF would come. Good luck to all
