Hi I'm new here, I should be working but I can't concentrate on work as all I'm thinking about is ovulation, periods, babys and being impatient! Which I guess is also on a lot of other people's minds on this board!
I stopped taking Noriday around the 16th December after about 15 years of being on different contraceptive pills. I had no periods when I was taking Noriday.
My period started on the 26th December and was normal from what I remember from when I had regular ones! My next cycle was then 23 days long and again I had a normal period.
I started using the clear blue ovulation test kits and followed the instructions, I started testing as if my cycles were 23 days (even though I don't really know yet as I'd only had one full cycle) On day 14, I got the line to say that ovulation was iminent.
I then started with mild period type cramping on day 20, 21, 22 and 23. I also never used to get period pain that far in advance of having my period.
I took a pregnancy test this morning as I couldn't stand waiting any longer which came up negative but maybe it was too early to test anyway?
After I took the test I then thought I'd started my period (which would have made this cycle 23 days as well) as there was a hint of something when I went to the loo but it hasnt continued and it was very light brown in colour, not blood red which is what it is normally and normally when my period starts, it starts!!
I'm so confused!! Could the mild cramping have been implantation pains?.. or am I clutching at straws? I guess I just need to be patient and see what happens in the next few days!
If you read all of my ramblings, have a piece of 
You deserve it!!
