Hi ladies! I'm new to this board and, though not particularly seeking any advice, wanted to share my story. Of course, opinions are always welcome
My husband and I have been married for about a year, he is 26 and I am 24. I have been on the nuvaring but got off of it in October due to migraines and we just decided to stay off of birth control all together. I believe that puts us in the not trying, not preventing category.
My periods have been normal since getting off bc until January. My last period was Dec 21st and I tend to have fairly regular cycles around 31-32 days. We had unprotected sex around the time I would have been ovulating, but to be honest I wasn't really paying attention to whether or not I had an ovulation symptoms.
My period is now 2 1/2 weeks late. I took a test the day after I missed because we were going out of town for our anniversary and I wanted to make sure I didn't have any wine if I was pregnant. It was negative.
I took another one at 9 days late and it was negative as well.
I called my doctor and she seemed unconcerned. Said if I didn't have a period by the end of Feb to call back.
I haven't had any symptoms really, aside from frequent mild headaches over the past couple of weeks. St the end of last week my nipples became sore and I began getting cramping on my right side. I figured I was about to start. Now, several days later, the cramping is still there so I called the doctor again and she thinks I may have a cyst. I have an appt for next week.
I had another negative test this past Sunday, but today I noticed my boobs are very sore.
I'm trying really hard not to "imagine" symptoms, because I know that's very easy to do, but the wait is driving me nuts!
I know its very unlikely that I am pregnant, but I can't wait to get rid of the "what ifs" and move forward either way.
Anyone else have any experience with this?
