Is aunt flow just late?

I've known people that skipped periods after birth control, but I've also known people that got pregnant right away. I can't actually be too much help with that part.

What I do know is that desire not to know for fear of disappointment. My doctor advised me to wait a week after a missed period and then test. If it was negative, wait one more week and test again. Not all tests are equal, but I used First Response when I got my positive. It does have a really low threshold. The sooner you know, the better care you can receive.

As far as symptoms go, I felt like I was getting my period except my sore breasts wouldn't stop hurting. I didn't feel all that nausous until 6 weeks. I knew I was late, but I didn't test until then because I swore it would be a disappointment. I was prepared for pregnancy though, taking my vitamins and eating right. I hope you are doing the same. Good luck.

I would suggest testing maybe at the end of the week just so you have an answer. I totally understand your confusion, I've been 28 days my whole life, on bcp, off bcp, no matter what and all of a sudden I had a 43 day cycle and then a 33 day cycle. It's annoying, frustrating and disappointing to see those darn negative signs.

I know getting off BCP can make your body do strange things and many people believe it takes awhile to get the BCP out of your system. Were you on it for a long time?

You are definitely on the right track by charting and checking your CM, sounds like you've definitely educated yourself. My only advice is to not stress because I think that is what is making my cycles all loopy.

Best of luck to you!!!

Well it could be that aunt flow wants to come. When I got off the bc my nipples became sensitive too, had nausea two days, sometimes like lightheadness. My aunt flow came a month and a half later. Then as soon as aunt flow came my nipples went back to normal of no pain. So expect it could be aunt flow but Oh also had cramping on and off. Mild cramps they were. Sometimes on the right too. But keep track of your days and symptoms so that way if you are really wondering if you are pregnant just take a test, it won't hurt. Get those two tests in a box. Best wishes.

You could be But I'd baby dace some more just in case.. an wait a few weeks....then take a test good luck hun!

Your English needs some translation, & since these abbreviations mean nothing to me (or anyone else in the medical field), I can only imagine a pregnancy test would be your best bet.
