This is only my 2nd month TTC. I went off BC in May (last period on bc ws May 24) Af came again on July 28 and Aug 20 so I figured I was back on track. I was expecting my period Sept 30, but it didn't come until Oct 10th. I THOUGHT I was pregnant and had may symptoms, but had all negative HPTs. Since my cycle was 40 days last time, I have no idea when I ovulated this time, so I made sure we had sex every 2-3 days since October 15th. Well AF is not here, which is good, but took HPT this morning and was negative. On Monday I had pulling type pains in my pelvic area (never felt that before) that lasted until Tues. Thurs from 3-5am (kept me awake!) had bad cramps similar to right before AF. Been crampy yesterday and today. Breasts not too sore but feel "heavier". What I am noticing most though is the cramping and overall achey-ness with some nausea in mid-afternoon. Also have been starving way before lunch time which is normally not me. With AF I cramp the day before and that is it, but these crampy-pulling feelings have been all week. I am dying to know! When should I test again? What could this be? Thanks for any help!

Sounds like you are having some pg symptoms. However, when I went off the pill a year ago it was the same thing. I had a period evry 40 to 60 days for a whole year. I also had crazy pg like symptoms for at least 3 months. I had nausea, my bb's got huge and achy, cramping, spotting, fatuigue, etc. But you never know. I would wait another week and test again. Or call your doctor! Good luck!

Thanks. I went off the pill once a few years ago and never had any symptoms and was back on track right away. I assumed since I had two symptom free cycles I was back. Oh well, I'll see what happens in the next week!

Ur welcome! Our bodies are crazy! I went off the pill in May (a year ago). I had a period in June. Then one at the end of August. Then I didn't get one until the end of November. It wasn't until October/November that I started feeling all of those weird things and I was worried I was pg since I wasn't ttc. It turned out that it was just being off the pill. I didn't regulate until this past September actually. But you could be pg. HCG doubles every 48 hours so I think you should be able to get a good result in a week. www.twoweekwait.com has lots of interesting info on early pg symptoms as well!
