hello ladies...i've posted a few times, and hopefully i can get a response :) i just got off the pill on appx july 4th. AF came on july 5th and lasted until the 12th. I have had NO signs of AF. Other than the fact that im wayyy emotional. Thats about the only normal thing going on w/me. Well anyways, i've posted a few times with what im not sure of being symptoms(i'm only 21, never been prego). My bbs or not sore, but i've been extremely tired, moody, my body is achy, gassy, lower abdominal "twinges." but i've taken 2 tests and are neg. well lemme tell you, i took one at night, i saw a very very faint line, then i took one in the morning, but it wasn't my first morning pee(sorry if tmi), and that was clearly a neg. i'd go buy another test, but i dont wanna obsess about it, not to mention funds are kinda low right now...anyways, any advise would be good ladies...please help! im super scared...

tia,

heather

It may just be your hormones are out of wack from going off the pill! There is no way to know forsure in a case like this my best advise is see your doctor!! Goodluck !!

If you got off the pill recently, it is possible that this is all due to the hormonal change.

Hi - I also went off the pill this month. My last period started July 31st. I think I have been "imagining" symptoms or like someone else mentioned maybe just a hormonal reaction to being off the pill. I have been very, very tired - around 3pm I can barely keep my eyes open and actually found myself dozing off at my desk today! I have bags under my eyes even after a good night of sleep. I have been feeling mild cramps for a few days now, but also felt them about a week and a half ago as well. I have been EXTREMELY moody - I was a complete lunatic last night - flipped out on my fiance for no reason, crying, etc. Also...I never get sore breasts with my period - ever- and for the past week or so they really hurt - it hurts to take my bra off ( Iam a DD) - especially my nipples. Today...the seatbelt hurt across my chest. I haven't felt any sickness, except I have had a frequency in bowel movements - not really so much urination. I kind of think that I am just being silly, although I have 2 friends that got pregnant the same month they stopped birth control. Being on the pill for so long (about 5 years), I'm not sure if I ovulated immediately or if I ovulated around the 14th, which would be the right time - however - I'm not sure if I ovulated at all!- I don't really know how to tell. I'm not late yet for my period - I'm due on the 28th, so...I'm just checking some information out.....any feedback?

Thanks - Missie

Well if you seen a faint line one night, then its possible that maybe you are. I would wait a week or so, and if AF don't come, then test again. If the faint line was a true positive within a week I would think it should be much darker. If its negative and still no AF I wouldn't stress too much, its likly to be from coming off the pill. If it concerns you too much then see your doctor to make sure. Good Luck.
