i am soooo paranoid that i can't stand it sometimes. I was on Nuva ring for about 5 months, and i decided to get off birth control because i just wasn't in the mood anymore. This has been my first month off it, and i'm expecting my period sometime this week. Now i've had sex 3 times and all times with a condom. and before it's thrown out i always check to see if anything gotten out and it looks like nothing has.

so yesterday i thought i was getting my period because i had stained, but this morning i didn't have it. now i keep checking but i'm getting some brownish discharge. my period should be due for another couple of days. the last time i had sex was Aug 4. argh i hate this, i'm always soo paranoid. i'm sorry if i'm always annoying people with questions.

Hi badshaw, welcome back!

If you are beginning to spot then AF should be along any time now. If you checked the condoms afterward and they were ok you should be fine. Let us know when Auntie arrives, ok?

Hugs,

It might ease your worries if you start charting your cycle. I can predict my period to the day now, even though my periods aren't perfectly regular. I can't believe I went so long just wondering when it would show up :)

hey

i'm very paranoid every month too, even though i'm on the pill. i'm expecting AF on friday, but i usually have cramps by now... and i've felt sick the past few days :S

good luck to you, i guess we'll see! :)

well guess what, i got my period and it's going strong. do you ever have a time when you're just sooo happy to see your period. what's funny is that i always get my period a little after i post here. maybe i should do that so my period will start next time.

thanks so much for all the help!!
