Question for all you ladies who were on the BCP long term and are now TTC. I am in the end of my second cycle since stopping the pill and was wondering if anyone else had similar things going on. The first month off the pill I had a withdrawal bleed just as I usally do and then had my first "real AF" 28 days later. I was really excited that I got my AF so soon because I have heard and read so many horror stories on here and other places. However, I had all kinds of weird symptoms the first month off the pill from spotting for a day midcycle, sore nipples the whole time, nausea, weird cramping, just feeling weird and like crap often, etc.
After my first AF, I have been feeling normal. I am now on CD23 and haven't even had sore nipples or bbs?!?! Since DH and I started trying this month, I used the digital smilely face OPK and got a positive on CD9 (which seemed early, but we BD'ed anyway) and then again on CD14 (which makes more sense). However, we weren't able to BD that day and were only able to get it in the night of CD15 so I am afraid we were too late. I am assuming that the positive OPK on CD14 was the right one and for some reason I had an LH surge on CD9 that just didn't lead to ovulation since I have read that ovulating twice at two seperate times in one month is extremely rare and may not even be possible...sigh...Anyway, I am now at about a week before AF is due (if my cycle is 28 days again) and I have been having very light brown spotting again like I did last cycle, but this time it has lasted for a few days and not just one time on one day like last month. It seems to have stopped now. the spotting is so weird though because it is always brown and only when I wipe and not even every time I use the bathroom. So, I have NO idea what it could be...It is too late for ovulation spotting (I think) and I am doubtful that I am preggers because of our timing this month and read that implantation bleeding usually doesn't last a few days. What else could be causing this? Should I see my gyne? Has anyone else had weird very light brown spotting after stopping the pill for a few months? Could it actually really be implantation? Ugh, the joys we ladies go through when TTC! hahaha!
