Pregnancy Info HOME

Wow, I had no idea how many people have been going through these post-birth control taking/wanting to get pregnant problems. I have been taking birth control pills for the past 8 years and recently stopped May 2005 because my husband and I are finally ready to have a baby. I went to the doctor and had a prenatal blood test panel done to make sure I am healthy and I got the all clear. She told me since I had been on the pill for so long, that I could get pregnant right away or it could take a year. Well in June and July, I had my period on the 28 day normal cycle I had always had on the pill. This month, I am now 2 weeks late and I too, like a lot of people that responded, have never been late, even before I took the pill. I have taken 5 pregnancy tests, ranging from the day before my missed period to yesterday, and all are negative. I do not have sore breasts, but I have had extreme hot flashes at work, and my face will be very red, but I have no fever. I have been sort of sick to my stomach in the morning also. I called my doctor again, and she recommended coming in for a blood test if I don't get my period this week just to make sure. It is so frustrating to be waiting for my period everyday and it not come and to get my hopes up that we are really pregnant, and to take another test and it be negative :( I don't want to go to the expense of the blood test, so I may go in this week or I may not, depending on how I feel. Let me know if anyone else has done this..Good luck to all who are trying to have a baby and have found out how hard it is! Shar
