Menstrual symptoms, but no period?
| Tue, 10-14-2003 - 2:54pm |
Question- I have been having my regular menstrual symptoms, but have yet to start my period. I stopped taking the pill three weeks ago, and should start menstruating today (If I am regular). Could these menstrual symptoms be pregnancy symptoms?

I'm in the exact same situation as you. I went off my BCP 3 weeks ago. I have been on them for about 7 years. Ever since I went off of them I have had strange symptoms - burning sensation in my stomach, to crampy feelings, to being bloated, to an increase in appetite, etc. I wasn't sure how the pill would affect my body after going off of it - wondered if AF would come back right away. I noticed today that I have a little spotting (brown in color) - so that makes me wonder even more. Is AF starting or am I pregnant. I've asked a similar question the past couple of days and there are several people with the same symptoms so I'm thinking it may be the hormones messing things up as they are getting out of our systems. I could be wrong though.

Thanks again for the help! :)
I just wanted to post and say that I have had the exact same thing going on for about a month and a half. I stopped my BCP mid-August. I was only on them for a few months, used the patch before that. Hopefully our AF shows up!!!! I've never wanted her to show up so badly ;) I've tested and know I'm not pg, maybe you'll get luckier!
Good luck girl!
