iCloud Photo Library - pics won't transfer from iPhone to iPad.

I upgraded both my iPhone 5 and iPad air to OS 8.3 and turned on iCloud Photo Libary. Since doing this, none of my photos are synching between the two devices. Meaning, when I take photo's on my iPhone, they are no longer going to my iPad (or vice versa). I have looked online for a resolution and can't find anything to fix it. I'm curious if other's had this issue and how you fixed it. I want my photos to transfer like the used to from one device to another. If there is no resolution to get the devices synching, can I turn off iCloud Photo Library (which is what seemed to cause this) and not lose any photos?
