Not Pregnant...Really?

I stopped taking BC pills in June and my period was on time for July 6. I calculated ovulation around July 20th,to attempt conception (3-4 days before and 1-2 days after). My next period was due August 3rd or 4th. Well, it's now Aug 7, and no period.I am bloated,breasts are swollen and very sensitive--and it's been like this for over a week and these are not regular sysmptoms that come with my period.

Home test says negative.

Should I test again later this week or assume that stopping my BC pills made my cycle irregular?

I wouldn't give up the hope yet. It could be the pill thing but you may have concieved as well. I would wait another week and test or see if AF shows up. I wish you the best of luck. If your truly wondering give the doctor a call for a blood test.

I have an appt for the 14th, made long before I thought I could be pregnant, for a regular OB/GYN check up....should I wait until then or go earlier?

I would just wait until then on the 14th. If AF doens't show up I would tell them then I want a blood test done. Talk to them about whats going on with you. I know that the pill can take a while for your body to get back to normal depending on how long you were on the pill. Good luck.

I think it sounds like you are, but that's just me. When I was 10 days past perioud due date, my breasts were swollen and VERY sore too. Maybe you just don't have enough of that horomone comine though your urine to show up on your test yet. :-)
