Real quickly. I had an IUD 4/06-5/15/2007. I had it taken out because my periods were lasting 10-12 days with the IUD. My LMP was 5-3-07. I did the BD on 5-20-07 with DS dad. It was the first day of starting back on BCP's. We used the withdrawl method. On 5-24 AF started. It was a week early ( I wasn't supposed to get AF until 5-31) and it was a really light flow, dark in color. Nothing that would fill up even a pantyliner. By the morning of 5-26 it was gone. Starting a few days ago I have been queasy now and then at various times throughout the day and I want to eat sweets like crazy, which is not like me at all. I can't seem to go to sleep until really late and I've been sleeping 8-10 hours when I normally only get 5-6. I've taken 2 HPT's that are both negative. I'm thinking that it may be too early to test. I was at WalMart just yesterday and was on a hunt for the strawberries that I could smell around the corner of the aisle. Something's going on. Does anyone have a clue or suggestions? Anyone else going through any of this? Please help

Hi
do you think your body could just be reacting to starting back on bcp's? I only ask because I recently started taking them again after a break and I have had unusual bleeding,tiredness and have an increased appetite and I am fairly confident that I am not pregnant it is just my hormones settling down. Good luck.

I would think that, but I've never had this happen before with the pill and I'd only been on it for a little over a week...

It could just be your body adjusting to getting the IUD out and now taking BCPs. My cycle took a couple months to go to normal after my IUD was taken out in December.
