TTC and cramping....
My boyfriend and I are still trying to conceive, I've been off birth control for almost 3 months now I think. Nothing so far. I have noticed after my last two periods I've been having some cramping. My periods have been shorter, about 2 heavy days and two light, when they are normally about 6 days long(3-4 heavy and 2-3 light) The cramping feels like period cramps. What could be causing this? Could it be affecting my ability to conceive?
I don't think it's cysts. I've had the before and they've never felt like this. They usually are a sharper pain, not a dull aching cramp.
Please help
Your body may still be adjusting to not having the additional hormones from your birth control anymore.
You may want to start charting your basal body temp (BBT). Your body temp fluctuates with your ovulation. Also, if you don't already, start getting familiar with your cervical mucous, another good indication of ovulation.
The cramping could be from any number of reasons. Have you been in recently for an exam?

Whoever said anything was possible obviously never tried slamming a revolving door.
I'm not sure if my body was ever really used to the extra hormones. I was only on them for a couple of months before I stopped taking them. I'm still having these cramping pains. They are in the center of my lower abdomen. I've also noticed I've been urinating pretty frequently and I noticed the last couple days I've had a thick white discharge, but no odor or itching/pain.
Also yesterday I felt just weird. Kind of weak and lightheaded. My eye sight was also a little off, not quite as clear as usual and I had problems focusing.
I have been doing some charting, not bbt, but other signs. Found a good charting program online.
