When you stopped taking the pill
| Tue, 06-20-2006 - 1:33pm |
When you stopped taking the pill, how long did it take you to get back on your regular cycle? I stopped last month and should have my period this week (28 days would be tomorrow.) I tooke a PT last Saturday which was negative. I know that's a little early to take one and plus I have had no pregnancy symptoms. I have been on the pill for about a year and a few months and before that was very regular but I Have no idea of how long my cycle was b/c I never kept up with it. I wonder if I should take another PT? Or does it take your body a while to get back to normal after the pill?

Yes we are in the same boat. Have you had any symptoms? I have had none. And today I have been having very very mild cramps - which makes me think I am about to start my period. I should start tomorrow (if im on the 28 day cycle - which I dont know if I am or not)so I guess I will take another test if it doesnt show up. I guess you should have started around June 8th. Your period is over a week late. Odd that you had a negative test and no period!
Im interested to see what happens.

omg we're all in the same boat together! I took off the patch last month too, started my last cycle on 5/10 and still no af... got bfn on 6/18. I've been getting headaches but not really any other symptoms, sometimes I feel like I might be having cramps but I'm just thinking too much about it..... when will I get my darn af??? or a BFP??? been on bc for 2 years but before that my cycle was long about 38 days... haven't decided when to take another hpt, I feel like the longer I wait there still a slight chance so I don't want to take it!
I read somewhere there's a 1 in 5 chance you get pg 1st month off bc but that's still prety high percentage... please keep us updated!
Yesterday should have been day 28 for me and I was expecting my period. I didnt get it this morning either. I'm having the exact same thing as you - cm this morning and mild cramps yesterday and today. I feel like I'm going to start any time now. I wonder if you can have that and still be pregnant. I did read that you can have cm when you are pregnant.
This is driving me insane. I didnt take a pt this morning b/c I felt like it might not be accurate and decided to wait until this afternoon to see if my period starts today since I'm having the cramping.
I'm thinking maybe my body is just getting used to being off the pill and my period is taking a little longer. Are you going to take another test?
Hi gals,
Just had to jump in. . .same thing for me! stopped bcp with my last cycle (5/18). .still no AF, still BFN. I've never gotten a BFP before being 2-3 wks late . . .
Glad there are others in the same situation!
Would love you hear updates!!
