Hello, I need some advice if you don't mind lending me some time.

I went off my birth control about a month ago, had a regular period after, and did the deed with my husband many a time, unprotected. About a week ago I had my typical ovulation symptoms: acne, bloating, slight moodiness, and a few days after that, I started experiencing symptoms I've never had before while in perfect health: fatigue, frequent urination, more bloating, and more moodiness, not to mention odd, mild cramping in my lower abdomen that was way different from my usual premenstrual cramps.

Those went on for about 5 days, and at first I suspected I might be pregnant, although I knew it was still too early to take a pregnancy test and have an accurate result, but up until 2 days ago, the symptoms seemed to have disappeared. I still have bloating, moodiness, and fatigue where my ovulation symptoms would have been ended long ago and I would be feeling "normal" again, and yet, I don't feel pregnant any longer like before.

I've never been pregnant before so I'm not sure what to expect, or what to think of what's going on. It's still a good week before my period is due, but, the suspense is killing me!

Thank you in advance for your time and input :)

'first response' home pregnancy test advertise that their product can detect pregnancy hormones a week before your period would be due,I've never used it so can't vouch for the product myself.

Eat healthy,get plenty of rest,don't take any medications.

From my own experience when trying to get pregnant I would noticed any tiny change in my body,only to be disappointed when my period arrived.

Idealy you should wait until you miss your period before you test,it may be negative but retest 2 weeks later.

If your period has not arrived 2 weeks after your period was due,my advice is to make an appointment with your doctor.

Best of luck and I hope you get the result you want.

Keep in mind it normally takes a healthy couple up to a year to conceive.
