Let me first start off by warning you that this is kind of graphic, but I need to get some feedback from you.

Here goes. AF showed up 5 day early on Sunday, I thought she was coming this week, and was glad she came early because I leave for Vacation on Friday, but she seems very different this week. Here is what is going on:

Even on BCP my period lasted 5-6 days and since going off BCP it has been 7-8 days. I am on day 3 and it is actly like I am on day 6-7. My normal heavy days are 2-4 and yesterday when I went to change my tampon Sorry TMI but it was only half full after about 6 hours and this morning again only 1/2 full and at lunch today only 1/2 full. This is so wierd. Also my cramps have been totally different. They were very concentrated on my back which never happened.

What do you think it could be. I don't know what to think

Sorry I can't help you, I have no idea what could be going on, but just wanted to let you know that your post isn't being ignored. I think we just don't know what to tell you. Good luck and hope it all normalizes for you.

Hello Jen,

I don't know if this helps but my cycle has been strange too. When I was on the pill I was 2-4 days for AF light the whole time. I thought that I would go back to my week of h*** but I haven't. If you think that you AF is lighter than normall call your doctor and ask. You might want to take HPT to be 100% sure that you are not preggy. Do you know when you o'ed? Me the first cycle off like I was saying I was expecting a very heavy flow but that never happened for me. I don't know if all my rambling helps????

Good Luck to you and I hope that you have a wonderful vacation!

Wow I'm sorry to hear about AF. I hate when my body plays tricks on me. It makes it so hard to trust your signals. I agree and think that you should take a test to make sure you aren't pg. I'll keep you in my thoughts. Have a great vacation. I am hoping to get pg during my vacation in hopes of preempting AF.

Hi Jenn, How long have you been off BC? When I went off my cycle was a little strange for about 6+ months. This is fairly common. I don't want to kill hope here, just wondering how long you've been off the pill.....but still take a test to make sure! And LET US KNOW! :-)

This is my third cycle off, but the I jumped right back onto schedule with the first cycle off. That is what I just don't understand. Before BCP, 34-35 day cycles and AF for 8 days. First Cycle off 35 days AF 7 days and C2 34 days 7 days and now this cycle is only 30 days and looks like it will only be 3 days

So strange

I know this will sound weird but I thought it might help you. While on bcp my periods were always totally normal and very consitant in # of days and flow. Off bcp however they go in cycles of three. A normal 3-5 day, then a really heavy 5-7 days, then the third month lighter and ~3 days again. They start on time but depending upon what month it follows the above described cycle. So give it untill next month and then see what happens. By the way it took me almost a year to figure out this was a pattern so write down somewhere in shorthand what this month's was like. My Dr. says this is normal and I had no problems getting pregnant with my healthy 20 month old DD.

Good luck.
