Question on period and pregnancy

so I went off BC and haven't had my period yet. Can I still be getting pregnant and not getting my period?


I mean I hear of people going months before their period gets back to normal... so how would you know if you got pregnant or not.


Sorry for the dumb question.

This is not a dumb question at all!

I haven't been off long at all. I went off on September 14th. I was regular before. If I was still on BC it should start again like October 9th.


I was just curious for the future if it does take awhile to get my period back.


I have no clue about ovulating since I have been on BC for 12 years (I was 18 when I went on it) so I am not up on all the stuff on how to tell.

were they pills? then your fertility should return quickly, anywhere from a month to 6-8. you could get PG at anytime. you'll feel the difference - your hormones, your emotions, will run wild without the pills. LOL. and you should see mucus when you wipe, and when it gets thick like egg white, you can expect to O soon ( as long as you are able to)

GL!!!

I stopped at the end of my cycle and just didn't start my new pack. I figured it was easier to stop then verses mid way through a pack.
