I knew there was no logical way they were PG symptoms, but I am relieved to hear that I am not the only one after getting off BCP. I was only on BCP for 5 months and I did get an LH surge this cycle (hopefully I O-ed) but I guess only time will tell. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-have-gotten-a-bfp-i-could-use-your-help#post-1568931 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 21:21:47 +0000 blackbird 1568931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You just went off a lot of meds. It'll be some time before you regulate and get a "new normal" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-have-gotten-a-bfp-i-could-use-your-help#post-1568929 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 21:20:50 +0000 wonderstruck 1568929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Getting off birth control can really mess with your hormones. Not to be a downer, but it's unlikely you'd be experiencing symptoms this early, and getting pregnant your first cycle off birth control is quite rare. Certainly not impossible, I just know the first few months of TTC were rough for me because of getting my hopes up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-have-gotten-a-bfp-i-could-use-your-help#post-1568681 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 18:33:20 +0000 simplyfelicity 1568681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: Thank you!

I appreciate it! It makes total sense because I have been fine off BCP but now, that AF is nearing...I am a wreck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-have-gotten-a-bfp-i-could-use-your-help#post-1568674 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 18:30:02 +0000 simplyfelicity 1568674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Madison43: @CupQuakeWalk: @Raindrop: @pinkcupcake: @pui: Thank you, ladies! I confess, I know a lot more about TTC and less about conception! I appreciate no one telling me I am nuts! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-have-gotten-a-bfp-i-could-use-your-help#post-1568672 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 18:28:01 +0000 simplyfelicity 1568672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: That is such a good point-- I bet it's the hormones! I got off BCP, Zoloft (for mild anxiety) and started-TTC all in one month! That's a lot! Thanks for the support! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-have-gotten-a-bfp-i-could-use-your-help#post-1568636 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 18:02:30 +0000 Madison43 1568636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As previous posters mentioned, unfortunately PMS and period related symptoms are similar to pregnancy symptoms ... it's a cruel, cruel world. :silly: </p> <p>Personally, I didn't have any symptoms until well after I tested positive. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-have-gotten-a-bfp-i-could-use-your-help#post-1568519 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 16:44:26 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1568519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It takes 6-12 days to just implant.<br /> The pregnancy hormone (which causes symptoms) HCG doesn't start until implantation has occurred ad doesn't get to a substantial level for a few days. So, at 6dpo, even if you are KU this cycle, there will be no evidence in symptoms.<br /> That being said, progesterone levels (which rise immediately post-O) can cause many symptoms which resemble pregnancy symptoms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-have-gotten-a-bfp-i-could-use-your-help#post-1568518 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 16:44:25 +0000 Raindrop 1568518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Symptom spotting is tricky! I will say that since I started TTCing my symptoms change month to month and I have had all your symptoms.</p> <p>Testing is the only way to be sure. Good luck! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-have-gotten-a-bfp-i-could-use-your-help#post-1568499 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 16:39:38 +0000 Torchwood 1568499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never noticed any symptoms (except killer lower back ache) before my bfp. They all set in later, like 6 weeks, and the random emotional craziness didn't *really* hit till even later. I'm 19 weeks, and it's only in the last month or two that I'm really having random meltdowns. </p> <p>That being said, I agree with @snowjewelz, I wouldn't count it out or in. It could go either way. It's definitely not a bad sign at least, and it could be a very good one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-have-gotten-a-bfp-i-could-use-your-help#post-1568495 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 16:38:05 +0000 pinkcupcake 1568495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to drive myself crazy symptom spotting... as tough as it is, the best thing to do is wait until your period is due (or a couple days before, if you really can't wait) and take a test. Good luck to you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-have-gotten-a-bfp-i-could-use-your-help#post-1568491 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 16:36:54 +0000 LBee 1568491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate to say this, but my first cycle off BCP, I was sure I was pregnant because I was being SO.FREAKING.WEEPY. It ends up I had forgotten what PMS was like (I hadn't had AF in over a year). </p> <p>Oddly, both my husband and I commented on the month that I got my BFP that I was shockingly chipper and totally even-keeled (even said I felt the happiest I had in awhile). Pregnancy psychosis set-in a few weeks later. </p> <p>All symptoms can pretty much be associated with both AF and a BFP. It's a total mind game. Fingers crossed for you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-have-gotten-a-bfp-i-could-use-your-help#post-1568489 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 16:36:39 +0000 pui 1568489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unfortunately, symptoms are usually a poor way to predict pregnancy. Many pregnancy symptoms happen to also be PMS symptoms, which can be frustrating for sure!</p> <p>Personally, I had zero symptoms until 4 weeks pregnant (after AF was due to arrive) where I started to feel very slight nausea. It was so subtle though I thought I was just getting sick or ate something I didn't agree with.</p> <p>The only thing to do is wait until AF is supposed to show and take a test! Good luck! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-have-gotten-a-bfp-i-could-use-your-help#post-1568481 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 16:34:49 +0000 snowjewelz 1568481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It can be so many things at this point! Since you just got off BCP, it can be that your hormones are just going wacko, plus the stress of the TWW! I wouldn't count it in OR out as as BFP smyptom... I know the wait is long, but you'll be there soon to test! Fx :goodluck: :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-of-you-who-have-gotten-a-bfp-i-could-use-your-help#post-1568472 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 16:30:36 +0000 simplyfelicity 1568472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, so this is my first month TTC and I am on 6DPO. I know it is way too soon for pregnancy symptoms but I have been really, really weepy for the last 24 hours. I am a bit crampy, but what is most out of the ordinary is how emotional I have been. I have already cried four times today. I am a fairly sensitive person...but never like this! Maybe it's the stress (but I just started feeling this way,) maybe it's getting of BCP a month ago...I am not sure. I know no one can tell me if I am KU or not but I was hoping someone could shed some light on this. Thank you!!! </p>
