Here's my story-
On BCP for 9 years, quit taking them in 1/10. Had my normal BCP bleed on 1/19 then I just never started a new pack of pills. 28 days later I had a normal period (1st cycle off BCP).

This month, I was expecting AF on 3/16. I am fairly sure that I ovulated on 3/4, and we BD every other day that entire week.

I started POAS last wednesday (POAS-aholic), and have done so every day since then. I'm actually embarassed to go back to Walgreen's bc the same lady has checked me out every time......

I am getting BFN's left and right. Yet I am now 2 days late for AF, I am experiencing lightheaded/dizziness, painful BB's, lower backaches, and mild cramping (non AF like cramps). Also, my temp is up slightly.....

I'm 14 DPO today. Still BFN's. Is there still hope this cycle for a BFP? Or do yall think I'm just all out of whack from coming off BCP? I have had a normal cycle since coming off the pill though..... Should I keep POAS? Or chalk this up to out of whack hormones?

Anyone had a BFN, but gone on to get BFP after 14 DPO?

theres plenty of chance ur pregnant babe! Alot of girls dont get bfp till later on, some even as late as 20dpo! Some dont get one at all on a hpt! It could also be cos of coming off the bcp your bodies still finding its way! But those are good pg symptoms! Good luck, i hope its your month for that bfp! Babydust to u!

Hi there,
I was on BCP for 15 years. My first two cycles were normal--and then everything went crazy! I had one AF last 19 days, then 14 days, etc. My luteal phases have been really short, too. Last month was a little longer--9 days. I had been at a 28 day cycle--but last month was a 38 day cycle. I honestly don't know about getting a BFP 14 DPO. Everyone is different, though. keep me posted.

do u temp? Maybe you have calculated ur ovulation date wrongly too, you could be less dpo! Temping is the only way to definitatively pinpoint ovulation! Good luck xx

even though you had one normal cycle after BCP doesnt mean that your body is back to normal yet.... which sucks I know.

You may not have ovulated when you thought. The only way to know that you did really is to track your BBT (only because your body can always gear up to O, but not actually O)

When I came of BCP I had a 29 day cycle, then 39, then 32 then 39......

It is hard to say - I would keep testing.
Good luck!

I was never on BC for an extended period of time so I can't help there. I would say try to test every other few days just so you don't drive yourself crazy. Good luck and I hope you get a BFP and not AF!!

Don't give up hope, although my son was a surprise pregnancy i felt odd from about week 2 (looking back on it) I tested every week (double packs lol) and i was... 8 weeks pregnant before i got a positive result. i thought i was going mad and driving my (now) husband mad spending money on tests ( i had irregular periods so normal to miss the odd one) just on the fact i felt iky! lol.

Wish you all the best...keep us updated.
