Hi Everyone! This is my first post on BnB and I'm excited to talk to women who are in a similar position as I am. Just a little bit about myself - I just turned 26 and my DH is about to turn 27. We've been married for just over 2 years and just bought our first home! We also have a cute rescue pup and a sweet Siamese cat. I also just graduated from law school and my DH has his own software consulting business.
Anyway, in early July we decided to forgo our "plan" to start TTC in November and just go for it. So, I stopped my BCP mid-pack which triggered withdrawal bleeding (may or may not have been a smart thing to do). Since then, I've been temping and charting and it has been very clear that I've ovulated. At least to me, it is. Today is 11 DPO and my temps seem to imply that I've had an implantation dip. Now, I know that that might not mean much. However, for the last two days, and worse today, I've been experiencing the following "symptoms" or whatever they are: terrible pelvic cramps, tender and growing breasts, thick cervical mucus (sorry TMI), nausea, near falling asleep many times during the day, and gas and bloating. My period is supposed to start on Monday or Tuesday. I also spotted just a very little bit today and yesterday. And by a little, I mean very very little! Nothing on a pad or anything, just on the toilet paper.
None of my friends are anywhere close to TTC, and we're also not telling our families, so I don't really have anyone to talk to about this.
I know there's no way for you guys, or me, to know if I actually am pregnant. I tested yesterday at got a BFN. My period is supposed to start on Monday or Tuesday, so I'm trying my best to wait to test until then if AF doesn't show. Any advice or opinions would be appreciated! Also, is it possible to be pregnant in the first month off birth control?
