I thought I was pregnant earlier, so I posted, my brother in law who is a Doctor called me the other night and told me to talk to him about what is going on. SO I did, and he said it sounded like I had an over full uteris that can't hold 3 or more months worth of blood, well those wern't his exact words, but it made perfect sense to me, so he told me just to go ahead and take my last seven pills so I can flush out all that blood, I started them yesterday night, and here's what's happened and I just want to know if this is normal, or if there is still a chance it could be pregnancy..

This morning, I went to the bathrooom, cause it felt like AF was starting, when I was done, and wiped there was some pinkish watery blood. So I left a liner on, and that is all I have gotten. I usually don't get that before AF, actually I NEVER get that. Also, my cramps are gone, and there is no sign of brown blood. If I don't start AF for sure tomorrow night, should I test? Or is that common after waiting three months to have your period??

Hi wantzababy, welcome!

I’m confused too…perhaps it's your screen name. So, you are using contraceptives and you aren’t ttc? And you haven’t had a period in 3 months? It’s not unheard of for a woman on OCs to skip a period but if you haven’t had one for 3 months it’s time to see your doc. The first thing I would do is test to see where you are. And if I were you I would make an appointment with my gyn to see what is going on.

If you are trying to conceive you might benefit from posting to the iVillage Parents Place TTC board. http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-pptrying They are an active and friendly group. Post and let us know how you’re doing, ok?

Good luck

LOL I can see your confusion. No, we're not ttc, I want a baby now, but DH isn't ready so I am on BC for mostly his concern. If it were just up to me, I'd be off and hoping to get pregnant. My BC I'm supposed to skip the last seven pills so I don't have my period, I'm supposed to have it ever four months. BUt I talked to my brother in law last night and he say's that my uterus can't handle holding 3-4 months worth of blood and told me to just take the last seven pills to flush it all out and just go 3 months instead of the 4 months that my doctor told me, brother in law is a doctor as well, he said it wouldn't hurt me. I just wanted to know if what I am experiencing is normal after not having a period for 3 months.

That could be normal for you after not having a period for several months, this might be a different period than you normally have!
