Hi there my lovelies. As some of you might know by my previous posts i came off BCP over 5 weeks agao now, no spotting or a visit from Af at all since i stopped taking it and i know i havnt fallen yet as have done lots of tests ect, in fact have done another early one again today ! So anyway i kinda need some advice or at least to hear your thoughts on things if you dont mind.
Obviously i dont know if i am ovulating as no visit from Af yet but we are doing the BD every 2 days or so, The thing is that for the past 3 days i have had stomech cramps... like period pains but less intense (painful in thier own right though none the less), the pain is very low down kinda at the front of my tummy, over my cesearian scar which is on the top of my pubic bone and its a constant niggle pain. Have felt like i have had PMT symptoms for 2 days now and i did actualy want to kill yesterday (yes like a crazy bitch!) lol and had hot flushes.
My boobs have been bigger than normal over the past 2 weeks (Mike loves this!) lol and i have had a spot outbreak near my mouth and chin since yesterday morning. Now i keep going to the loo to check if am bleeding (no sign at all) and i as i said earlier i tested again today but it was BFN so what do you girls think? The cramping is similar to the cramping i used to get when i had the contraceptive coil in a few years ago,....dont know if any off you who have had the coil in have experienced this too but if you have that is what this cramping is like. Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated....am not used to not having a cycle at all and as am normaly in tune with my body i am finding it realy hard to not have a clue as to whats its doing now.
Thanks

Hun your in exactly the same situation as me, I came off the BCP 4 weeks ago but ive already had 2 AF's since then, one i assume was my withdrawl although it was very very heavy! I also had the same cramping for 3 days before this AF right across my c-section scar, started on Saturday and got my AF on Tuesday, I had sore bbs, spots at the corner of my mouth and on my chin eww yuk they are just going now thank god LOL!

I think this is just side effects of coming off the BCP! What were you on? I was on cerazette!

So I started my AF on Tuesday, started light then medium on Wednesday, heavy yesterday and it was like someone has switched a tap off today cos nothing, except weeing ALOT, sick this morning, feeling as though something is floating around my uterus, bbs stopped hurting as soon as AF appeared but now they have become very heavy again, some of the girls think I should be testing but cant believe I would be PG as my temp has dropped right down although its starting to rise again and im only on CD4 according to my chart, and tonight ive started cramping again its all very weird!

I think its just the BCP playing sily buggers to be honest hun!

Yes was on Cerrazette too hun. i didnt get on well with it at all to be honest and i think its realy messed up my system now. will have stopped taking it 6 weeks this coming tuesday and still no bleed. we are trying still but dont know if its any use just yet! At least the cramping stopped yesterday! xx

Well, it's impossible to know really and you'll just have to wait it out I guess! But, here's what I think... I had cramps like that when i was pg with no.1. I think they happened at around the time of implantation, although I can't be sure. If that's what you're experiencing, it would be too early to get a positive on an hpt. Wait a few days and re-test! xxx

poppi - I've just come off the pill, middle of July and all last week I had a whole week of cramps and nothing came of it. I've been using OPKs ans I got a very strong positive today, so I've ovulating.. You could try OPK testing to see if you are Ov'ing

Ive not heard anything good about Cerazette to be honest hun, it was making me really aggressive! I mean im not the most laid backperson in the world as it is LOL! I make a very good friend but get on the wrong side of me and your done for LOL! But cerazette made me crazy, having said that the Dr screwed up and had me on 2 a day, which is why they think I might not of OV in May and June! It leaves you with major pregnancy symptoms and screws with you! I hope it gets out of your system real quick hun and you can get your first AF or a of course Shout if ya need anything!

Hi. i have done another ovulation test today, one yesterday but no lines other than the control line so i dont think its that. The camps seem to have gone for now again but ive been getting them a fair bit on and off lately so who knows? we shall wait and see! Thanks hun

Yes i remember getting some cramps and had an implantation blled when was expecting my daughter 10 years ago so you could be right. Am gonna lay off pregnancy tests for a week now if i can stand to. lol (dunno if i have that much willpower though! we shall see. Thanks hun xx

Good luck and keep us posted! xxxx (PS is your name Poppy? Only asking cos that's my LO's name!) x

Thanks so much hun, yes thats exactly how i was on cerrazette too, i was spotting continuasly for 4 weeks before we decided to TTC, the spotting ended 5 days after i stopped taking my last pill and slowly but surely i am beginning to feel more like myself, and not the crazy bitcH from hell it was making me. Without knowing if i am OV we will just have to carry on blind for the next few months and keep our fingers crossed. I could just use an ov test everyday to see if am OV but that may ork out a bit expensive so might leave it a bit to do anymore. If No visit from AF or a BFP in the next 6 weeks i will go to see my GP (am hoping something happens in between though) My best friend is on Cerrazette (like you was ) 2 a day and shes a mess! wishhad never gone on it in the first place. Thanks again hun xxxxxxxx
