Hi,
I'm very confused at the moment. I have been on the pill for a couple of months and the first day of last AF was 23/06 or 24/06. I was going away for a month so decided to stay off the pill for this month. Managed to get back home for a weekend and the obvious happened. This was on 07/07 (sorry is TMI) From what I've gathered this could possibly have been my ovulation time. A week later I started to experience some cramping, no spotting though and I've been having some lower back pain and cramping all week. I took a HPT yesterday and it was neg. AF is due this weekend..either sat or sun. I'm worried incase the cramping is all in my head!!! I never get cramps week before AF, just on the day or day after. Any advise would be brill!
Thanks,

I went through a similar experience. My period ended up coming a couple of weeks late, like 2 or 3 weeks. It was a crazy time for me. Anyway, I wasn’t pregnant. From what I found out while going through my experience, when you stop taking birth control, your body tries to go back to normal. This may cause a delay in getting your period. Also, if you ovulate, you may experience some of the feelings. That’s what happened to me. Hope it’s helpful to you.

Thanks so much for your reply. I'm kind of thinking I'm not pregnant now. I took a test this morning and it was negative. I still feel some discomfort but maybe as you said its just my body adjusting to not being on the pill. I'm going to wait and see inregards to AF, should be here anyday. I'm still going to lay off alcohol just incase and I've been taking a ridiculous amount of vitamins too! My friend who has just found out she is pregnant thinks I'm hilarious for doing it but I want to be careful just incase. Cant help wishing though....
