If you don't remember me, I joined this board a couple months ago, really just to look around and such. My DH and I were planning to TTC in August. Well, here's my current situation... I was on BCP for like 8 years, and just went off in May. I was all excited that my first cycle seemed very normal, at 27 days. Now... according to that, I am 5 days late. I do know that we weren't so careful around the time I was O-ing, so IT is possible... but is it likely? I was wondering if I could really just be very late this time (I have no idea because I was very regular for years). Has anyone had really irregular cycles after coming off BCP? I don't have any 'symptoms', that I know of, but I don't really know what they'd be... I am SO curious but have not tried a home pregnancy test.. how early can you do that? I also haven't said anything to DH yet... we will be celebrating our first anniversary on Aug. 14, and if this really is it, I want to surprise him on that day!
Thanks for any advice, intuition you can provide!

As far as tests go, you can take one the first day of your missed period. Some tests actually detect HCG a few days earlier than a missed period. If you are truly late, you would most likely get a positive if you are indeed pregnant.
Good luck!
