two quick questions

question one: this is my first month checking my cp, and it went high and soft and has come back down now - but the thing is, it feels more soft (squishy, really) now than it did before, plus it feels kinda like it's all squished up against the front wall. is that at all normal???

question two: those who have been a form of the pill and gone off it - how long was it from your last af on the pill until your first af off it? how long would you wait for it before seeing a doc (assuming you didn't get a BFP somewhere along the line)?

thanx guys!

Hey, I don't know how much I can help, we've been trying since July, haven't been doing any charting or anything, just seeing how it goes. As far as BC, I had been on it for 5 yrs, and my first AF came exactly 28 days later, but then has been alittle off...the days inbetween get shorter every month...this last cycle was 21 days! I guess it takes time to get yourself straighted out? Hope this helped alittle, Good Luck!!!!!

It's me again...sorry, I was going to add something about seeing your Dr. My regular yearly was the first of Sept. so I just waited untill then, told him I had gone off my pills, and they went ahead and did bloodwork, etc., I had a much longer appt. with him (which impressed me) and he went ahead and started me on PN vitamins...

thanx for responding - i'm about due for my yearly anyway, unfortunatly i don't have insurance. i was on my mom's insurance, but i recently got married, so now i don't have it. my husband and i are both students, and we haven't found anything we could afford right now. i think my mom said it would cost like $170 without insurance for a pelvic, if i want to see my regular doctor. i really can't afford to shell that out for one visit right now, but i really don't want to have to see someone new (like going to the health department or whatever) unless i think there's something going on that calls for medical care. but anyway, thanx again!
