hi! I stopped using bc on 5/7, started af on 5/10 and haven't had af since. I know it can take up to 3 months for af to resume after stopping bc, but I'm almost at the 3 month mark and I'm starting to get nervous there's something wrong. I scheduled a dr appt for 8/9 in case af doesn't come by then. I know cysts could be a reason for no af, but I don't feel any pain or weird symptoms.

Could I have cysts and not feel anything? What are some other reasons why I'm not getting af besides pg? I had a blood pg test on 7/5 and last hpt was 7/16 both bfn.

any replies are greatly appreciated. after all the tests I should be POSITIVE I'm not pg, but with no af I can't let go of the possibility.

THANKS!!!

A good friend of mine who is also TTC had a similar situation. She stopped taking BCP in February and her cycle didn't straigten out until May/June. She went to her doctor and she said that sometimes these things just happen especially if you've been on BCP for a long time. But if you're worried, definitely get checked out. Good luck!

thank you very much!!! good to hear about similar cases. I was on bc for 2 years. when I stopped breastfeeding ds#1 it took a while for af to start again, maybe my cycle is just really sensitive to hormone disruptions. We've been bd'ing not a ton but a here & there whenever we can squeeze it in LOL so there's a super slight chance of pg but incredibly unlikely, I don't have my hopes up just want a definitive answer af or bfp!

THANKS!
