I finished up my last pack of BCP on Jan. 31 and DH and I went officially NTNP with the beginning of February. I had a totally normal cycle last month -- a little short, 26 days, but AF was pretty normal (maybe a little short, but only by half a day or a whole day tops). Last month was crazy and DH and I didn't really get to DTD at all during my fertile window, and I've been getting excited about when I was thinking I'd probably OV this month around CD 14 -- but three days ago (starting CD8) everything started to go totally weird with my system.
I started having some spotting on and off two days ago, along with cramps. They're not constant -- usually a round of them only lasts about 15 minutes or so, but they can be pretty bad. Last night was the worst. I got up to change my 18mo DD's diaper and between the time it took me to get up and in a bathrobe and to her room, I went from feeling "slightly crampy" to "something is going to come hurtling out my vag right this second" and I felt shaky and nauseous. I rocked her a while and it passed in about 15 minutes, but it scared me -- I was hoping the feeling would go away, but it seems to be sticking around. I've been sort of crampy all morning, took DD on a walk and that didn't help at all.
I don't remember having had any sort of mid-cycle spotting or cramps before I started taking BCP as an adult or while we were TTC with daughter. At first I thought it might just be OV pain, but it doesn't sound like OV pain to me...
I don't track my temps right now but I do check my CM at least once a day, and I haven't had any EWCM until last night. So I'm thinking that I still haven't OV'd yet -- but it's got me totally freaked out that I've been feeling so weird before OV (at least I think before OV -- would be pretty weird to have done it in the three days between my cycle ending and this crazy pain starting up which made me more anxious/i.e. more aware of my CM).
Sorry, I've rambled on.... does this sound like something I should be concerned about or have you experienced something similar? It's been so long since I've had to really pay attention to what my body does between cycles that I feel clueless!
