How Soon After BCP?

Hi Ladies - I am hoping you can offer some advice!?

I went off BCP's as of June 19th and started my last *pill period* on June 21st. Since I don't really know what my actual cycles are, although they were normal before I went on BC, DH and I just assumed that I would O July 4th/5th. We had also spoken to my doctor, who said it would be a slim chance that we would get preggo first month off the pill, but to have fun since there isn't any harm in that, so we did! : )

My question is has anyone come off the pill and gotten preggo first cycle? The pill I was on was the lowest dose available, since I used to get headaches with other ones, so I hope that this will help us out?

Any advice would be great! : )

I got preggo immediately after I stopped the bcps with my second son. As far as the cramping in your back, it may be because of your menstral cycle. Some women have more intense pms coming off the bcp. It all depends on how fertile you are to begin with. My family is extremely fertile so my husband can sneeze my way and I get pregnant, lol. Some women are not as fertile. I am confident that it will happen, if not the first month, the second or third. Keep your hopes up and gl.

"Posts like this make me smile!!!! Now the only thing is trying to figure out if the dull lower back pain and funny cramps (not like AF that I can recall) are a good sign or because of AF or maybe because of my hormones all checking in again! ARGH....I hate the 2WW!!!!"

Thats how I have been feeling. I am not in "pain"...just weird uncomfortable queasy feeling and a dull aching, and uncontrollable burping! My period is due sat/sun and we happened to do it on O day (my breasts were EXTREMLEY SORE for 2 days so i know i o'ed then). 1 more week to wait.
