Hey all,

Just a query for u's,Went off b/c when my last packet ran out and had my period. Ive been off the pill a month now and my period hasnt started yet. Before i went on birth controll and while i was on it every thing went like clock work. Only used protection a couple of times last month, so wondering will my periods be a lil messed up after stopping B/C or cud i be pregnant.

Cheers all
Suzie

It could be either. Some women do get pregnant the first month off the pill. My doctor told me to wait 3 months before actually trying and to use condoms since there can still be some hormone left in your body. Not everyone waits though and their babies are just fine too.

Wait a week before retesting. Your periods were really regular on the pill because it forces your body to be regular by regulating the amount of hormones you have in your body. It's possible that your body will become regular in time or you might be one of those women like me that isn't ever exact.

Suzie, my first cycle off BCP was 42 days so the same thing could be happening to you. My next cycle was 26 days, so it definitely takes a while for your body to get regulated.
