Hello Ladies!! I have been off my bc pills
for about 1 1/2 months. My period was due
a couple days ago but I started cramping
really bad when it was due to come on but
there was no blood - not even pink. I have
taken a couple at home pregnancy tests and
all of them have been negative. Could I be
pregnant? Should I go to the doctor and
have a blood test done? Also, I was only
on bc pills for about 6 months and my
period has always been on time even before
the bc pills...I'm confused- please I need
some advice and answers.

Wait a few more days and take another test
first thing in the morning. Or, if you
don't want to wait, request a blood test
from your doctor. It would probably be
cheaper to wait a few days though and see
if your period comes.
Good luck.

when i went off my b/c pills it took me 3
months to get my period. I still had the
cramps and everything that would come
along with a period, just didnt bleed.

Even if you had a normal period before
taking the pill, it can be abnormal when
you come off. It can take women multiple
months for their cycles to regulate again.
This is because the body has to kick
start itself back into gear. It is why
some doctors recommend waiting 3 months to
start trying to conceive after women are
on the pill; their cycles have time to
regulate and they are more able to
accurately tell when their periods are due
to better calculate conception date.
