In all honesty, it could go either way.

I'm on my 3rd cycle off bcp. my first cycle was 5 days late (i had a regular 28 day cycle). My 2nd cycle was 7 days late. now if i'm on a regular 28 day cycle, I SHOULD start Wednesday. but last time i stopped bcp i got prego with my daughter on cycle 3.


on my first cycle off the pill i clearly remember my boobs being SOOO sore for a week. I have big breasts, and i had ot wear a bra 24/7 becauseit hurt SO bad for my nipples (which were also hard ALL that time) were so sore and rubbing against anything would cause me to cringe in pain!


now this cycle off i'm noticing cramps every day, all day.this is day 14 of my cramps. and for the last week my back has been very achy, in the lower area. Just the past 3 days i've become SO tired. for 2 days i coudln't get enough to eat, but the past 2 days I don't really feel tempted by food. a couple days as well I woke up feeling sick to my stomach. and i'm sooo irritable! and have had major gas (sorry for TMI lol) the past few days. It sucks 'cause preg. symptoms are sooo similar to AF symptoms so it's soo hard to tell! I've been impatiently waiting for the past 2 weeks to FINALLY be able to test! i tested like 9 days after i had sex wtih a HPT and neg. (of course! lol it was way too early!) then 2 days after that i went for blood tests for HCG. again, prob. too early to tell!

I actually stopped taking my bcp at the beginning of Jan and didn't have AF at the end (28day cycle) when I should have and ended up getting pregnant when I should have been having AF on Feb 2nd.

I'm in a semi-simular situation.

I would question if the hormones could be contributing to the breast growth.

So I tested again this morning- which was officially 10 days late and BFN. I am wondering if I should just call those 2 days of light bleeding my period and wait until the end of this month to see if AF shows. What do you think?

The starting and stopping will certainly throw you off.

I had a pretty similar thing happen to me. I stopped the BCP in January (after 6-7 years), didn't get a period until early March and then was convinced I was preggers in April. I had all the symptoms in full force. Turns out it was PMS (symptoms I never had while on the pill)and AF reared her ugly head.

I don't really recall if I was regular before I was on BCP. Never really paid attention. To be honest, I had almost no PMS symptoms (little cramping 1st day that's all) and short (3-4 day) periods.

I've also been breaking out like crazy, which is nuts because I never even broke out much in highschool. Ah, this whole TTC process has been lovely (not). But I know it'll be worth it.

We're actively TTC and testing on Mother's Day (pretty fitting). Here's hoping : )

PS. My girlfriend stopped the pill after about 5 years and got preggers on the first shot. Lucky duck!
