Stopped Pill & No Period
| Fri, 05-18-2007 - 6:22pm |
Hi..I just joined your board and have a question. I have a 13.5 month old daughter whom I breastfed until she was 1 year old. While breastfeeding I was on a mini-pill, Camilla, and when I started to wean her my period start coming even though with the mini-pill there is no placebo week and you're not supposed to get your period. So, I thought my hormones had overpowered those of this mini-pill and on May 1 I decided to stop it and my husband and I had unprotected sex that weekend.
Well...now I haven't had my period since and for the past 3 days I have been extremely nauseauos (sp?). I last got my period while on the pill on April 16th (and even when I was getting it while on the pill it was always exactly 28 days). So, I took a Home Pregnancy Test on Wednesday night after work and it was negative...Would anyone have any insight as to whether or not they think I am pregnant. I figured I'll wait another week to take another test if I don't get my period. Yikes!
(as a side note my husband and I were planning on officially "trying" again in a few months so it's not that we don't want another child, I'm just confused as to why I feel so crappy and why my period hasn't come. I figured it would come right after I stopped the pill???)
Thanks ladies - I know this was a long first post but I'm so confused!!

I've never been on the mini-pill but when I stopped the regular pill I think it was 6 or so weeks before I had a period.
If you don't get it in a week I'd take another test.
Thanks for your reply! 6 weeks - wow! Last time I stopped the regular pill I got it right away and then the next month I conceived my daughter. That's why I'm suspecting pregnancy now...but, you're right I'll wait another week and test again. Especially since it's only been 2 weeks.
Thanks again

Hi Jill...
Thanks so much for the information. I was as normal as clockwork prior to be on the pill that's why I was concerned. I think I'll wait another day or so before re-doing the HPT just to be sure it's more accurate and not to worry in the meantime. I'll be happy either way so I'm ok giving it a few more days!
I stopped feeling extremely nauseous today and I actually thought I started to feel a bit "pre-period" ... we shall see!
Thanks again for taking the time to answer...much appreciated!
A lot of women do actually have bleeding when they take the minipill.
Hi ladies,
I retested and it came out positive so I guess that means baby #2 is on the way! I have a doctors appointment on June 16th to check everything out. I'm very happy...just a little cloudy on my due date but I'm sure the doc will have a bit more insight on that!
Thanks again for your advice.
