Question Bloated feeling.

Hello everyone
I am new to the entire TTC process. Recently I stopped taking the pill mid cycle, 4 days later (May 2) I had withdrawl bleeding. My husband and I did BD in between stopping the pill and withdrawl bleeding. However, I bled for 5 days, and on 5/9 we did BD, two days later i started having this crampy bloated feeling that has not gone away since. We have BD'ed on 5/11 & 5/13 as well. I am wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience or knows of someone who did. By the way, my periods were always extremely regular (clockwork) before taking the pill. I have taken the pill off and on since I was 17, and I am now 30. Every time I came off of it, my AF would return immediately....don't know if this helps!
I don't want to get my hopes up - but it is a really weird feeling, that won't seem to go away.
Any advice, stories, words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hopefully you will see a BFP! My experience coming off of the pill went like this: came off of the pill, had a 33 day cycle, then a 30 day cycle, then BFP (which ended in a m/c), so it seems as though it took two cycles to get regular again (and i have been off and on ovulating since (though not due to coming off the pill or m/c)). That is my experience, hopefully your stay here will be a short one! Goodluck!

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am driving myself crazy reading every article/forum I can get my hands on. I guess at this point only time will tell.
By the way, sorry to hear about the m/c. It seems like you have a positive attitude though! I wish you well.
And I will keep you posted as to whether I get a BFP or a BFN.
