BR: General question for the experienced (some TMI)

FH & I will be TTC after the wedding, so I stopped my BC on 5/13. I got some withdrawl bleeding for a few days, then it stopped. On 5/24, I think I got my period that lasted for 4 days.

FH & I will be TTC after the wedding, so I stopped my BC on 5/13. I got some withdrawl bleeding for a few days, then it stopped. On 5/24, I think I got my period that lasted for 4 days. I went to the MD on 6/9 b/c I was having some cramping on my lower right side of my abdomen. He said I was about to ovulate, which would put me around day 16 or 17, so I've marked that down. My question is that the pain has gotten a little better, but now I feel like I'm just bloated a bit and when I press where my uterus and right ovary would be I get some cramps which feel like gas (but it's not). FH and I have used both condoms and the "pull out" method, since me stopping my BC. We've been intimate at least 4 times between 6/4 and 6/12, which means that was during my fertile time frame.

Now, for my question (finally)-could this be the beginning of a possible pregnancy with all the minor cramping and bloatness I'm feeling. I've got no other symptoms like sore boobs, implantation bleeding (yet),etc

    It's probably too early to tell but I wouldn't let the fact that you JUST stopped your BC make you think it's not very possible.... In reality, you are most fertile immediately after stopping your BC and then in the next couple months you aren't as fertile... still fertile but not as fertile as you are immediately after stopping.... learned that in Pregnancy for Dummies lol.. and my SIL got pregnant that way.... she was switching to that ring thing (technical terms, i know) and right after she stopped the pill she got pregnant.

    BUT it would still be really early so it could just be your body getting used to the absence of BC
