Would you ask your DR?

First of all, I am going absolutely nuts here! I don't know what my body is doing, and it is so frustrating. Anyways, just had to get that out of my system!

So, I went off of BC at the end of October and we weren't TTC in November. But my cycle went something like this, Cycle started on Oct 24, then had spotting from Nov. 8-11ish (which I don't normally have) and then AF finally showed up Dec 12. Now it is Jan 17, NO AF, I got a BFN yesterday :( and I had one day where I wiped and had a tiny bit of pink on Jan 7. I haven't been feeling well for the past few days, so I was really thinking I must be PG, but then waited a couple days to test and got a BFN. Anyways, it appears that my cycles are really long (over 35 days), and I have read that if your cycle is over 35 days you may not be O. So would you wait longer to talk to your DR, and see if things work themselves out, or would you contact him to get his thoughts? When I went off of BC to TTC DD my cycles immediately went back to 28 days, and before I ever started taking BC my cycle was a standard 28-30 days. So it has NEVER been this long, and has me slightly worried.
Any thoughts? TIA!!!!

That could just be your body adjusting to bein taken off of the BC but I could be wrong!

Do you temp? If not, I would so that when you go into the doctor you'll be able to show him that you are

Thanks! I haven't been temping, but I am going to begin on my next cycle. Just still waiting for AF to show up so I can move on to next month! I am really anxious to see my temps throughout the month and get a better feel for my body. Thanks for all of the advice ladies!
