Hi girls.....Maybe I just need to vent, I don't know. There is a huge chance that I could be pregnant. Although, I have worried so much that last 6 months, that it is becoming normal to me. I hate being a woman sometimes. I was on BC for about 6 months. Stopped taking it in Aug. cuz I have just been sooo sick on them. So I had 2 periods immediately following. About a week and 1/2 apart. 2nd one was the first week of September. So then...last month, I was so caught up in things, that i didn't even realize that I was 2 WEEKS LATE. Ok, so I was freaking out. Took a test...negative.....AF came the following day..go figure. So that was the 14th of Oct. Just about 2 weeks after that, my bf and I were having some problems...big problems actually...and I was going to leave him and all that BS...and then we made up. Well we don't use condoms, and he took it upon himself to do it inside of me like 5 TIMES!!!! I was a little mad...but even more upset when I realized that he did it 3 times the few days before I O'd and then 2 times while I was O'ing....BIG chance I could have gotten pg right??? The last week, I have been cramping. No spotting...just mild cramping, I have had heartburn (which isn't odd for me) but more than normal...my nipples have been burning on and off....and I have been pretty tired lately. OHyeah, and burping like crazy, and some pretty sharp headaches that go away in about 10 minutes. I am not sure if this is a sign or not, but I have been getting a very extremely wet feeling down there...(sorry TMI). I wake up atleast an hour before my alarm clock goes off, and can't go back to sleep. I don't know. Good chance I could be pregnant..but also good chance I could be just paranoid. Ya know?? My BF and I have been together for 4.5 years, and just had some problems, like everyone else I guess. I just konw that this isn't the right time for us.

So maybe I just needed to vent, but thanks for listening....My AF should be here by the 12th or 14th. So I guess I will jsut have to wait and see.

Well - yes BIG possibility you could be pg this month although your cycles take up to 3 months to get to normal after going off BCP. Mine did and I still didn't O normally. It's been 9 months off BCP and still I can't get pg.

So - here's to hoping you are still off-cycle and that when you are ready - you will get pg!!!!

Keep us posted and let us know how it turns out.

And vent anytime you want - there is always someone here who can understand and offer advice.

Best of Luck!!!

Yes, I have heard that too about the BC getting out of your system. But I also wasn't the best at taking them. I know lots of people that got PG on them, and some right off them. So I guess we are all different. :)

I just hate this waiting game. I know that I will be a WONDERFUL mom. I know more than the average bear about kids and babies, so I am not worried about that. Just the circumstances that have been happening with my bf and I. Its like, now that I DON'T want it to happen, it will, and that is what frustrates me most.

Ok, more venting I guess.... lol
