Has this happened to anyone?
| Wed, 04-11-2007 - 7:59pm |
Hello! Thanks to those who respond. I stopped taking birth control pills two months ago and have just been using condoms. This month I am five days late for my period. I don't feel like I have had any of the "typical" symptoms of pregnancy. My husband wants to wait until it's been a week before I take a home test. Has this happened to anyone else?

Hi there...
Just from my experience of going off the pill, I had one regular normal month right after I stopped. Then after that it took me a few months to get "regular" again. It's because (as the previous post mentioned) it takes your body some time to adjust to being off the pill. And that first month off isn't a "real" period, it's still from the pill.
I would say if you think you'll be really disappointed seeing a negative, then take your hubby's advice and wait a little more before testing. But if you're like I was (and just HAD to test), then you should definitely test now, and if negative, and still no period in a few days, retest! Hope that helped...good luck!! :)
