Hello all-

Back in January I went off birth control. For February and March I had a regular period, although in March it lasted only about one day. I am still waiting for my period since March. I have taken a pregnancy test about a month ago when I missed my April cycle and it was negative. I am considering taking a second test, but feel it is unneccesary since I am having absolutely no pregnancy symptoms (I would think I would have symptoms by now!). I have heard that your period can be messed up after stopping the pill. Has anyone else had this experience? Do I need to see my OB/GYN or should I just wait it out?

We've heard from a few other women over the past several months who have had a couple of post-pill periods and then nothing, but they haven't come back to tell us what happened later! So the good news is that you're not the only one this has happened to, but the bad news is that I can't tell you what might be happening. But maybe your doctor can? A month following a really light period would seem to be enough time for a pregnancy test to show a positive if it was going to, and you're right, you'd probably be noticing some other things if you'd gotten pregnant in March!

I'd probably give the doctor a call, hopefully it's no big deal! Take care...
