Longest wait of my LIFE! Moms, help calm me :)
I have driven myself nuts GOOGLE-ING! I went off BC in the first of January and my husband and I immediately began trying - although I really was anticipating getting pregnant until a few months. I was on it for so many years that I have spent the last few months getting to know my body and I can see how my hormones are finally balancing out. Let me break down a few symptoms I've noticed that are outside my new normal and I would love to hear what you think. I had creamy lotion-like cm 6 & 7 dpo then was dry until today (9 dpo) it felt like I peed myself and was watery. I have had mild cramps for the past 3 days on and off. I don't expect AF until the 17th or 18th (since my periods haven't been completely on schedule since stopping BC). Historically I only cramp the day or night before I start. I'm beyond fatigued and have those white bumps on my nipples that are more pronounced that i EVER remember. No soreness yet. Could this be in my head or could I actually be pregnant?

I am happy to tell you it could be! I went of of birth control pills when I was TTC my son. It took 3 cycles and I just had a feeling I was. No huge indicators telling me anything. One thing I did notice was I had cramps for like a week and I usually only got those THE NIGHT BEFORE OR THE DAY OF AF. I had a crazy appetite and my breasts only hurt a little under my arms. Less pain than before AF usually arrives. I did test on what I thought was 9dpo and got a faint BFP. But, I had a first trimester ultrasound which going off of that I would have been 17dpo. Anyway I know everybody is different, but I think it looks very hopeful for you! Good luck lady!

Thank you so much for that :) I really hope I am! I will be sure to keep you posted! As much as I want to test, I think I may wait until AF is late so I don't get my hopes up. Very trying on my patience.. I also have ultra sensitive skin and have noticed this morning my rosacea flair up this morning which is extremely odd because I did't eat any known food allergy that causes it. I'm hoping it's hormone changes :)
