Missed period

Hi everyone -


I am 28 years old with no history of any gyno problems. I stopped taking my birth control pills on August nth. My husband and I plan on TTC in January and I wanted to get off of the pill to regulate my cycles before then. We have been using condoms for intercourse to prevent pregnancy during this time.


I am now 5 days late. Is it normal to be this late when getting of the pill after being on it for a while? I have got off the pill before and I remember my cycle started exactly 28 days later and was regular right away. I am starting to think I have some gym issue.


I took 4 pregnancy tests. Two of them were negative, one was invalid (nothing showed up on the screen - I don't think I urinated enough), and one looked like a "maybe". The was a faded line where the positive line should be. I have a son and when I was 5 days late with him the pregnancy tests were all extremely easy to read and were quite positive so I REALLY don't think I am pregnant. We have been really careful and been using condoms.


Is it normal to be this late when getting off the pill? When should I be concerned and make an appointment with my doctor? Any advise?


Thanks,


Jen

Welcome to the board Jen.


It can take a couple months for your body to regulate after coming off the pill.
