You might have an air pocket in your BCD but likely being a new diver the variable is the air in your lungs.

Thanks everyone! these are some great things to look at. I'm not taking the time (when diving) I need to work on buoyancy, period. I am seriously thinking about taking the buoyancy class. It will afford me the TIME to work on it without the distractions of OW cool stuff.
A few things:
Yes, I'm doing the SS and its not always easy.
When I vented the BCD, I was totally horizontal each time, the DM just were like "hmm that's strange" My OW instructor worked with me a little and it helped.
Your correct, my breathing is pretty controlled BUT this is a different sport and adjustments do have to be made.
Most of the time these things happen but not ALL the time, there are those moments when I say to myself "THIS is way it should be" and I love it.
It really doesn't help that 50% of the time I'm totally chilled and the other 50% I have no patience and really get frustrated, especially with myself lol
Practice, practice, practice and when I got it.....practice some more
