i stopped taking the pill on the 10th may, but had a withdrawal bleed for five days!

but i know i have definattly ovulated around the 24th 25th May and me and my partner have had sex everyday scince i stopped the pill!
i have been getting pregnancy signs for the past few weeks but the doctor told me too wait! i cant wait! we would be so excited! and 3 urine tests and one blood test are all NEGATIVE!

I am in the same boat right now! I had my last period 4/22 and haven't taken the pill since then. My fiance and I just want to let whatever happens, happen. We would both love to have children.

Well, after that period in April I haven't experienced anything, not even a little spotting. I figured I would at least have a little bit of a breakthrough bleed when I didn't resume taking the pills but it never came.

I have had a few signs of what I think indicate pregnancy as well. I'm extremely bloated, I've had a little nausea/throwing up, a little cramping and discomfort the first couple of weeks. I actually thought maybe this was a sign of AF, but it wasn't. I was extremly fatigued around the time that I should've started my period in May and never did. The only thing I haven't noticed is the breast tenderness/darkening of the aeriolas that you are supposed to experience. In the first few weeks of being late for my period I had a lot of discomfort in my lower abdomin/uterus...not really "pain" (well sort of) but it felt more like pressure or pulling.

Anyway, I am now 23 days late for my period and dying to know if I am or am not pregnant?!?!?!?! I recently had an appointment for a pap smear, when I was at 17 days late for my period. I talked with the nurse and my doctor about everything, figured he may want to do a pregnancy test prior to or instead of my pap, but he just pretty much told me to keep waiting. Keep waiting?!?! I've waited forever as it is! He said that sometimes discontinuing the pill after being on it for an extended period of time can mess your cycle up. True, maybe it can, but shouldn't I have at least spotted a little? I know in the past when I've missed even just one pill I would so why didn't I when I totally stopped the pill?

Trust me, I completely understand your frustration! lol. I keep crossing my fingers that I still am pregnant, although I have taken FOUR pregnancy tests that all came back negative, because I have read stories about women who couldn't get a positive test/didn't realize they were pregnant until 3-4 months into it.
