? about micronoe/minipill, no af & BFN

Hi ladies,
I've never posted her before, but was wondering if anyone could answer a question or two for me? I had my IUD taken out in sept, and have been on the "mini pill" since. I had af the first week of October for about 5 days, but haven't had one since. I've taken 2 hpt's and they both came back BFN. My ds is 19 almost 20 months, and is still bfing. Could that be why I haven't had an af? If I stop taking them will af come back? Dh and I are going to TTC, but I'm not sure how long before my cycles get back to normal. Has anyone had this happen -- the no af on minipill? or did I post on the wrong board? Any input is greatly appreciated!!

TIA!!!

THANK YOU!!! I'd called my ob's office asking the same thing, and they told me to take a hpt, & if it was neg to wait a week & take another if af still didn't show. And then to come in if af still didn't show anout a week after that. Didn't want to have to shell out a copay if I didn't have to ($80 for ob & it so doesn't fit in the budget right now...lol)

Thanks again, here's hoping af shows in the next few days then.

micronor can make your periods irregular...that in combo with bfing sounds like the reason for no AF to me...good luck to both of you...

Some women stop ovulating with the minipill just like they would with the combination pill--the difference though is that you take the minipill every day and there's no hormone-free interval to allow bleeding.
