"ive stopped taking my birthcontrol pill's roughly 5 weeks ago, and have experienced realy HEAVY bleeding for about 2 days a few days after i stopped.
ive been having sex everyday since i stopped and sometimes 2-3 times a day hoping to concieve, its now time for my period.. i was due yesterday and usualy pretty regular. but i didnt come on, and i havent come on 2day either.

i usualy get tender breasts but they feel normal! :confused: i jus don't feel like im about to have a period, also my back has been hurting for about 3 weeks:mad: and i was getting the odd cramping! and i cnt stop urninating.. took a test yesterday (the day my period was due) and it was negative :confused: do you think i could be pregnant?:D or just imagining it? :rolleyes:

when do you think will be the best time to take a test now?

sorry about all the writing couldnt think of a shorter way to put it lol! all answers will help!!!! thanks"

Depending on when you conceived it could take quite sometime to show up. You could have stopped the birth control 5 weeks ago but conceived a few days ago... in that case it won't show up? On the other hand you may not be pregnant but stressing yourself out and thus the symptoms your having? Cramping and lower back pain was a definite symptom for me on my pregnancies (along with frequent urination and #2 (body naturally cleaning of toxins)). After you get off the birth control your body becomes irregular for some time to adjust to a new natural schedule... so some changes in your ovulation to periods (frequency and volume) could be effected. Since you are trying to have a baby make sure you are taking the Materna Vitamins (Folic Acid) and take care of your body. They say on average it takes about 3 - 6 months for the average woman to conceive (which is not my case... but I have heard of it from other couples trying to conceive).

You should talk to a doctor about conception and what he suggests would assist you in the process. I know there are some ovulation kits which can assist you in detecting the best time of fertility... there are pills for fertility as well. As it goes for right now... wait until the week passes when you where suppose to get your period (my period doesn't show up for 4 days into the week of my expected period)... then it is heavy for 2 days and gone!

Give it some time and if you are still unsure... there is blood tests which are far more accurate (and that is how I found out... sure the urination test detected negative... I was so sure I was... took the blood test and yes in fact I was pregnant)... sometimes it is just to early and the hormones haven't built up enough to show up on the urination test. Best thing to do is take care of yourself and test in a week... or better yet 2 weeks.

Good luck!

Thanks a lot very helpful :)

Stopping birth control can mess with your periods drastically--you may be late for your period and you may be pregnant---it's a waiting game right now.

You should be consulting with your OB/GYN if you are trying to get pregnant. Charting ovulation is almost a must, and you should be taking pre-natal vitamins.

I've been trying for a baby :) and I haven't took birth control for 7 weeks.
Now due for my period and I am 3 days late.
I had bad cramps yesterday as if I was going to come on but I didn't, and also I've got a BAD back
Also I have been having shooting pains in the bottom of my stomach (on the left side)
And also a weird feeling in my stomach :confused: I can't really explain it
But I was thinking perhaps somebody else has had it and have indeed been preggaz!

Would appreciate all answers! :) because I'm really confused lol

It sounds like these symptoms can be pregnancy (which I had the same ones being pregnant twice - even though each pregnancy can differ), PMS or stress related reasons. Being off the birth control for 7 weeks can really mess up your cycles changing frequency to volume... so it could be PMS. It could be the flu too. Unfortunately... it will be the waiting game. I don't have any way to tell you that you are or are not. I will cross my fingers for you. You can take the home pregnancy test now or in 1-2 weeks from now... if it is negative and you have had these symptoms for more then a week then maybe get a pregnancy blood test done. If it's still negative (which blood tests are very accurate) then you may not be but if still in disbelief wait until your next expected period and take the test again... that should be about 3 weeks from now... and you should get an answer. Continue to try, take Materna Vitamins (Folic Acid), eat well, drink plenty of fluids and stay away from alcohol, drugs or smoking (you and your partner) - which it sounds like your are :).

Now that you're period is late, you can start taking pregnancy tests. Make sure you use first morning urine. If the first test is negative, and your period still hasn't come in the next week or so, take another test.

PMS and early pregnancy symptoms are often very similar. Don't be too disappointed if you're not pregnant this time. Even healthy, fertile couples can take up to a year of trying.

Also, have you talked with your dr yet? If not, you definitely should so that you can make sure you're taking prenatal vitamins and as healthy as you can be when you do get pregnant.

I took a hpt this morning and its was negative. :(
So yeah I will have to wait until the end of the week.
I was due on Monday.. I felt fine.
Then had pains yesterday thought I was going to come on , but no blood..
Then today I feel weird! I've also been urinating a lot and feeling tired.
Don't know whether I am imagining it or..
But a bit strange how I haven't come on and I've been unprotected for 7 weeks:confused:

I am sorry you didn't get the answer right away... you will have to wait longer... but please keep your thread about 3 DAYS LATE!! To 3 days late need some answers can't deal with the waiting game! Under one thread because it will confuse posters (redundant) and the answers shouldn't be that different.

These threads should be merged somehow to better assist you in getting answers on one thread.

justcurious55 · Nov 11, 2009, 12:53 PM

Seven weeks really isn't too long. Like I said before, even healthy, fertile, couple still take up to a year. Are you keeping track of your ovulation?

Mistique · Nov 11, 2009, 12:53 PM

If you are having PAINS, then you should talk to your doctor.

I'm guessing it's you stressing about it that is affecting the timing of your period--and you should be in contact with your doctor regardless if you are actively TRYING to get pregnant.

xcarleex · Nov 12, 2009, 06:42 AM

4 days late on my period,
So I took a hpt this morning
There was a faint line me and my fiancé could see it,
Then it disappeared!
I'm so confused!! Can anybody explain this?.

J_9 · Nov 12, 2009, 06:50 AM

It will change if you look at it past the time that it is supposed to be read... usually 10 minutes. This is called an evaporation line.

Take another test and read it during the first few minutes.

xcarleex · Nov 12, 2009, 08:47 AM

Yes I do take it then wonder of I no I left it over five minutues. But wasn't more than 10.
Do you think this means positive?

Shall I wait until the morning to test.

Thanks

artlady · Nov 12, 2009, 08:57 AM

It is always best to test in the morning with first morning urine.You have a better chance of getting an accurate reading.

xcarleex · Nov 12, 2009, 09:28 AM

OK think I'm just going to wait until Sunday,
As I was due on Monday so that will make it a week then.
Surely it would be able to detect by then.
Fingers crossed :)

Thanks for your help

Yes, Sunday at the earliest would be a good idea - for the sake of accuracy. ;) Good luck

I've been trying for a baby, and I am a week late for my period which is unusual for me.
I have been experiencing abdominal cramps and what feels like a stitch in my lower stomach on the side and it comes and goes.
My breasts don't hurt but they are very swollen also mood swings. But still no period.

I've took several tests and they came out negative! :(
Why is this? What could it be?

All answers appreciated :)
