Help with understanding ovulation

[Tinkerbell 1]

Hi

Can anybody help Or answer a few questions.
I'm 30 yrs old, just got married in Dec. Have been on the pill
for 15 years, Microgynon first then Dianette for the past year.
Finished pill in Jan '08, had 7 dy withdrawal bleed as normal, for the next 2 weeks had headaches, nausea, bloatiness, SPOTS then 32
days later had my first 'proper period' as they say, which only lasted 3 days and was extrememly light, which is abnormal for me, was this my true period?????? Started taking Vit B6, which I thought was the answer to all my prayers........... Due to ovulate on Sat just past (1/03) woke up with awful cramps, spots lower back pain, my period isn't due for another 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is all these symptoms OVULATION or is my period on its way...........
I'm so confused, I know at my age I should know better, but I have never tried to conceive before and didn't really care how long my cycles where or whether I ovulated or not

I would luv to hear from ANYBODY who understands all this more than
me..........

Cheers

if it were me i would give it more time to find out the regularity of you true periods, sometimes it can take a few months for it all to get back to normal, then you can start counting how many days you have in your cycle, not everyone is the same, mine was 27 days. Then you can determine when you should ovulate, usually around day 14.. There are also signs of ovulation, you will have an increase in cervical mucus, some experince tender breasts to, i also used to get ovulation pains which was like a sharp stabbing pain around the ovary area, this lasted a few hours and i knew then to get down to business... Good luck

I would seek advice from a medical expert.

But, I will say after 15 years on the pill I think it safe to assume that your body will need a wee while to get used to no pill.

Good luck with the baby making.

p.s - there are websites which enable you to 'track' your periods and ovulation. They could be of some assistance in trying to makes sense of what your body is doing AND for you to know exactly when periods/ovulation is due.
