Hi everyone. I appreciate people's posts about the different symptoms - it's so helpful!! OK, so here's my question - Has anyone else had weird AF since going off BCP? I went off bcp in August, and have had 2 AF....both only lasted like 3 days, and normally I go the full 7.

I think I had some symptoms before (or at least THOUGHT I had symptoms), but now I feel pretty "normal," like I don't FEEL pg. I know it's possible to have AF and be pregnant, that's why I'm wondering. Is it possible that I have been pg since August?? Anyone have any advice....or wierd AF since going off bcp?

Thanks for your help!!!

Angie,

I was on birth control for a year and got off this past June and still havent had a period...lately i have been cramping,abdominal pains,sore breasts,sickness,etc. i have took 4 home-pregnancy tests the first one was positive and the rest were negative so i went to the doctor and got a test and it was negitive.i talked to a girl on here and she said i should get a blood test and its possible that i could be pregnant with no period and negative pregnancy tests...i hope everything turns out great for you. you should go to the doctor and get a blood test. let me know what happenes

I went off BCPs in December. It took me 60 days to get my next AF and then it was only two days long...I'm used to 6 or 7 days. I just knew I was pg, but after a millions HPTs and Blood test I found out I wasn't. Anyway...I think your body is probably just adjusting to not being on the pill anymore. On a side note. Once my AF came DH and I did get pg that first cycle. I am now 36w1d along with our first child. Good luck!!
