    Default Just off bc for 3 weeks, pg symtoms already?

    My DH and I decided to begin TTC at the beginning if this year. I stopped bc on Christmas and we have been having regular sex since. Not convinced I ovulated but at about 6 dp(suspected)o I started having cramps, headaches, feeling a little dizzy and extra tired. At 9dpo I had a very small bit of pink spotting and developed a yeast infection.
    I'm confused because I thought it would take a few months for things to go back to normal and get pregnant. Is it possible I already am?

    I wanted to add, I am still cramping and just feel pressure down there. I would be happy to have had it happen so soon, just shocked and wondering what my body is doing.

    Anything's possible. Wait til your AF is due and then take a test if she doesn't show up. That said, it can take 6-12 months after getting off of birth control for your cycle to regulate. Good luck!

    All it takes is missing one pill to have the possibility of pregnancy. If you are preg, would you offer my congratulations to your husband? Quite frankly, that is impressive work right there!

    It's definitely possible! I got pregnant the very first cycle off of BC with my first son.

    with my first i stopped bc pills at the end of sept. got a bfp in the beginning of nov. i was feeling off, (tired, nauseated, breasts felt different etc. about the 3rd wk of oct. i now have my son. with this pregnancy i missed one mini pill while bfing and got pg (good thing we were planning on ttc a few weeks after the missed pill..)
    its totally possible!!
    i also have a friend that stopped bc 3 months before me to ttc and she got pg 13 months after taking the last pill but was always feeling like she was pg...... so it is different for everybody!

    Good luck it can take one month, several months, or even years to get pregnant after birth control stopped it just all depends on your body and what your body wants to do. Some women get pregnant while on birth control. Things just happen without explanation.

    So yesterday was an uncomfortable day of cramps, boating, backache and tiredness. But today I feel great, my only symptom is sensitive nipples. Still confused at what my body is doing and getting anxious to test. I am also wondering if all these symptoms are just my body adjusting to the lack of fake hormones. So strange, I don't think I've ever wanted my period to be sooner before.

    So AF should come tomorrow...cramps today but no different than the ones I've had on and off for the past two weeks. Yesterday my back and hips started hurting, even some sciatic pain, these things are not a usual AF symptom but usually only occur for me after snowboarding or backpacking. I promised myself I would wait until Sat to test if AF is MIA. Thanks for all the well wishes, glad to know its totally possible.

    Tested this morning, negative. I'm disappointed. I guess my body is just going haywire after stopping my bc. I hope something clear happens soon. Thanks for all the support.

    AF came this morning with no real warning, luckily it was after my yoga class. So new question... this was cycle day 35, do I just have to wait for my next period to show before I can accurately find my fertile time? Or can I assume my next cycle will be about as long?

    I wouldn't assume anything for at least 3 full cycles it take your body a little time to get back on track this dosen't mean you can't try it just means that you might need a little to find your pattern. You might want to go to FertilityFriend.com it is a very helpful site, full of info on ovulating, charting temps....ect
