possibly pregnant?
| Fri, 03-19-2004 - 9:18am |
I went off the pill about two to three months ago. My first period after going off was about 10 days late. This time is is late about 9 days. I thought my period was here yesterday because I had some brown spotting, but today there is nothing. Could I be pregnant? Or is this normal after being on the pill?

My cycle (8 periods off the pill) seems to be settling down to 30 - 32 days. This does not mean I am 2 - 4 days "late" each & every month, this just means I have a longer than average cycle. I had a long cycle before going on the pill too, so this is not unexpected.
The spotting is unlikely to be an indication of pregnancy (it isn't a common sign), it could mean your period is coming in the next few days. It takes time for your body to settle down after coming off the pill, & some people are naturally a little irregular (my 8 periods have ranged from 29 to 36 days apart).
Try not to worry - if you know you've protected yourself during intercourse, you should be fine. Good Luck!
