TTC#1 and have period-like pains

Hi, first time poster here! I’m TTC #1, on cycle #1 after coming off the combined pill (which I was on for 14 years!) I think is too early to test (period is due a week today), so was going to wait at least a few days. Feeling a bit strange, slightly nauseous, very bloated, needing to wee a lot and also have period-like pains, which I’ve had for a couple of days. I’m a bit concerned though, as the cramps have now started to feel almost as though I’m sore on the inside! Has anyone else experienced this? Might not be pregnancy but never felt like this before...

@MrsBrown28 it’s so frustrating isn’t it! Just don’t know if I’m imaging things, exaggerating things or what any of it means! I don’t have the pains anymore; once what I though was AF (though seems it could have been withdrawal bleed or implantation), the cramping stopped. Guess I won’t know until I wait a few days and do a test! When is your AF due?

No Closet I had not just come of the pill. I did have three month old twins though so it was a massive shock.

@closetfashionista I have no idea. I just want AF to come so I can have some idea when it will follow next month. I took my last pill on the 26th March had a withdrawal bleed for 3 days and nothing since. I feel like AF is about to start, get cramps and spots and sore boobs and then nothing happens. My mind is working overtime haha
