Let me start by saying I've been on BC for 21 years and only came off it on the 25th of Feb.

Three days later I had a withdrawal bleed that lasted 5 days (exactly like a normal period). Between me coming off BC and AF we BD twice.

I've started taking temps each morning and OPKs (originally I was taking these when I first got up, I've now changed to later in the day. OPKs are always negative, I've had a couple of slightly darker lines but no positives. Originally glow said O day was the 6th and then the 10th but it just keeps getting pushed out. I feel like I'm constantly chasing O day and it just never happens.

For the last 4 days I've had some serious cramping going on, dizziness, my breast seems to have gotten slightly bigger, I'm peeing like a race horse, headaches and super tired. Normally when AF comes along I have no symptoms (yep I'm one of those lucky ones). AF isn't due for another 2 weeks so i doubt its from that.

I don't think I've ovulated?.

Am I doing something wrong? I know there's not much data there, but if I'm doing something wrong I'd like to know now so I can fix it as I am 36 and we are late to this game. Any tips would be greatly appreciated, I know it's early days but I have this nagging feeling I'm not doing something right.

Thanks

P.S question about OPKs, I drink a lot of water so I'm finding it hard to wait 4 hours and not drink anything...does anyone have any tips?
