  • Hi mushie37, firstly welcome to the site!

    I came of the pill at the end of March as well, I have been so lucky that my cycles were regular straight away. Your body could just be getting used to things without the pill still, sorting itself out.

    The 29th May would have been CD 23 in your cycle, you would have to have been ov'ing around that time to have got pg this month. So here is where the guess work comes in, and hope I can explain it well enough!!

    If your cycle is longer this time, because your body is still sorting itself out... your luteal phase (after ov, before af starts) will alway be the same give or take a day. I would guess as your 1st cycle was 28 days (as long as you counted CD 1 from first red blood), then your LP is about 14 days.

    So unless you know if you have already ov'd, it is difficult to predict when af is due. Could your crampy pains have been ov? If so yours could be just around the corner? Some ladies prefer to take a hpt once a week to just check. But unfortunately some wait quite a while for an elusive af.

    I hth, and things right themselves quickly for you. xx

  • Try to remember to test with full morning urine (fmu), as any hormone will be stronger then. xx
