I've posted a couple of times but not alot of replies. So I am going to start all over and tell you my story. I am 17 and on BCP (Nordette to be exact). I've been on it for almost 3 years.I am on a normal 28 day cycle and never been off. Last month I missed alot of pills (more than 6 in the 1st 2 weeks of last months pack). So I thought I could be preg, so I stopped taking them at the end of the 2nd week, and didn't take the 3rd week at all. Well 2-3 days after not taking them I should've started my period, but I didn't. I stopped taking them either 9/17 or 9/18. I should've started and had a normal period by 9/21. Well I didn't. Around 9/23 I had light spotting so I thought it was starting. So I took precautions and used a tampon during the day while at school. When I removed it, there was nothing on it except a little light pink at the very tip. Normally my periods are light on the 1st day, heavy on the 2,3,and 4th days, and then light again on the 5-6th days. What I expierenced was no where close. Well that lasted til around 9/26. I haven't taken any pills since then and have had no more bleeding. Although I have had numerous symptoms including: Breast tenderness, sore nipples, cramps,off white CM, dizziness, faintness, nauseas, bloating, constipation, gassy, back pain, headaches, blurry vision (even with contacts), breast feel swollen, extremly tired and lazy, I've been breathing faster, leg cramps, my belly button felt like something was pulling it apart the other day, itchiness, insomnia, thristiness, hot flashes, mood swings, I've been extremly emotional, and have had sharp pains in differnt places here and there. Around 10/1 I took a HPT, but it was neg and during the middle of the day. So 10/2 I took another with first morning urine and still neg. On 10/8 took another test at health dept. neg there also. So, I haven't taken a test since, and haven't taken a pill since either. Basically I was wondering if the bleeding around the end of Sep. was my period and it was just really light, or if it could've been implantaion bleeding. Also if it was my period do you think that if I test on 10/21 to see if I got preg while I haven't been taking my pills it would be too early ? Any advice, comments, and replies are extremly welcomed. Hopefully someone can help me figure all this out, and if there's someone else going through this we can figure it out together.. Thanks in advance..

From my experience with BCPs, they can really, really mess with your cycles. You sure do have a lot of symptoms, though. I would try to go do your doctor for a blood pg test.
Good luck!!
