Hi, I'm new to the boards here and I'm not sure if I really have a question, but I'm a little confused/anxious so I thought maybe posting would help. I apologize in advance if it is TMI!

The first day of my last period was 12/14 and I have been on the BC patch since the following Sunday 12/17. Normally I wouldn't be concerned about pregnancy since I'm on BC, but I had some midcycle spotting on 1/01. I have never spotted before and it lasted a little less than 24 hours, was very light...only when I wiped, and was brownish/ light pink. Since then my breasts have gotten much larger and sore. Normally my breasts do enlarge, which causes soreness, but never to the extent that they are now. And never as quickly...it seems like overnight I became a C cup:) Also, the little bumps around my areola are more visible, I noticed them looking at my reflection in the bathroom mirror from a distance and normally I would have to be looking directly down at my nipple to see them. In addition the breast changes, I have noticed some mild cramp-like feelings on my lower right side.

My FI had sex on 12/27 which I think would have been around the time I was ovulating, if I was ovulating. I didn't notice any signs of ovulation, but again I wasn't looking for any as I was on BC. I'm not late yet, my period isn't due until the 10th or so, but I have already taken 2 home pregnancy tests, both negative.

So I guess I'd like to know if any of you think I'm crazy for being concerned, do my symptoms sound right...then again I was on BC and didn't have any issues with it? I don't know I am so anxious. I (along with FI) actually want to be pregnant and will be disappointed if AF shows up.

Hey There!!!
I am in the same situation as you! My husband and I decided that it was time to try so I had my IUD removed. I have been feeling kinda sick lately and just in general feeling different. I have also taken pee tests and got neg. I am going to have a blood test done on friday. They are more accurate. Good Luck

well never mind...

Shortly after posting I had cramping and none other than AF showed up a little bit later. It is strange though, my period is two days early. Oh well, I guess it was just an off cycle for me.

Best wishes for those TTC!!!
