not sure what to do now

[JennC]

First off hello to everyone and thank you for taking a look.

Me and my boyfriend are ttc. We just decided last month or about a month and a half ago. i stopped taking my bcp on may 6 my cycle started may 7 and now I am due of my monthly as of monday but it has gone a past. Ive been having spotting since last wednesday off and on and its never more the the size of a quarter. Ive done at least 4 tests, one on monday, two on wednesday and one today and all were negitive. none were done in the morning but i thought it wouldnt matter. what should I do from here? I was thinking of doing a test tomorrow when i first get up but im getting irritated seeing all the negitive tests.
any one with a sugestion? Im starting to go crazy cause my boyfriend keeps telling me to keep testing.

thank you again

It can take several months (or even more) for your cycles to regulate once you stop your BCP. That means that it can be very hard to know when you should test for pregnancy. Since you have taken several tests over the last few days it is not likely that you are pregnant. I wouldn't test again for at least a week.

You could start temping and useing opks. This will give you more insight into your cycle. Oh... and feel free to come join us over in the ttc room.

I agree with this completely. I can take up to a year for your body to regulate, and for you to ovulate after getting off of birth control. Definitely get some OPKs and maybe start temping to give yourself a better idea of what your cycle is like. Best of luck!

So I decided I would come back for more support and update. I tested again Friday mornin with fmu bfn the again last night cause dbf would not stop asking bfn. Dbf is starting to be convinced I'm either preggers and the tests are wrong or that I'm miscarring or something wrong. I'm going to make an appointment on Monday with my health clinc so we may get some answers. Idk if he is getting anxious and pushing for me to test cause he really wants me to be preggers or he's worried now. If my cycle would of resumed to normal 28 days then I'm 7 days late. I do have what seems to be symtoms of preg but I don't want to jump to conclusions. But no sign of af except maybe the extreme boob sincitivity. Any insite would help. Thank you all again.

The guideline I've always heard was to give your body 3-6 months after stopping bc to let your body reregulate itself before ttc. Of course, pregnancy IS possible, but more likely, just your body adjusting.
