I stopped taking bc pills a month ago. When do I get my period? I've been wearing a panty liner just in case, but so far no signs of it. Is this normal?

Anyone stop bc pills, and when did your periods return?

Thankyou in advance!

Hi chrissy_82, Welcome!

When I came off OTC 2 years ago I ovulated almost right away. For some women it may take a month or two. If AF doesn't come visiting in 2 months I think I'd talk with my doctor. You'll let us know when she arrives, won't you?

Good luck,

Of course! Till then I'll be on pins and needles. I have been safe and using barrier methods all month, plus I kinda slowed down with the sex until I can start charting, so that has to wait for my period. There was only one time when I had unprotected sex, it was the last day of my last period (light spotting) right before I decided not to start my new pack.

Eventhough I know the pregnancy risk was little to none, Im still gonna be wishing my period to show up anytime soon. I may take a hpt in a couple weeks if I lose sleep over this.

Im sure everything is going to be fine, just my body adjusting.

Thanks
