Q: Stopped Pill And Missed Period
asked by: Sud_Pat on July 4th, 2005

Hi
i was on pill for last 4 months. While I was on pill I had my 28 days menstrual cycle quite regularly. As per my husband's advise, I wanted to take a break from pill for one month. Hence I stopped taking pill last month. Since then we had unprotected sex few times. But my husband used to withdraw just before ejaculation.

Now my period was due for 07/02..But I have not got my period yet..Its already 3 days late. I had at-home pregnancy test with two different brands (e.P.T and first resp) and all of them showed negative result.

What could be the possible reason?? Any answer will relieve my stress..

Thanks& rgds

Were your periods regular before you got on the pill? Some women do get pregnant right after stopping the pill because your body wants to ovulate immediately. I got pregnant right after I stopped the pill (unfortunatley I miscarried), and my sister in law got pregnant as well, but her pregnancy if progressing just fine. You could be pregnant now, but you may be like some women who do not get a positive hpt until days or even weeks after their missed period. I would try to retest with you first morning urine in several days. If your period does not show up in a week and you still have no positive hpt I would call your Dr. So they can do a blood test or give you prometrium, so you can start your period.

Usually you don't have a lot of symptoms until like your 6th week. So if you are this would be your 4th week. Normally if you ovulated you might have ovulated about 14 days ago. So if you had unprotect sex then, you might be pregnant. Also, since you were on the pills for a while you might not be ovulating yet, and might skip a cycle. Your period starts 14 days after you ovulate, if you are not pregnant. What kind of pills were you on? And have you read any side effects on them?

Yes I was taking triquilar (german remedies ltd). Yes I had read side effects....But did not help me much.

I had read somewhere that stopping the pill might delay the period...Actually I dont want a baby now...I am going to visit a doctor day..Lets hope for the best....

Pill
The first month I gave up the pill (we were trying for our 2nd baby) I waited 6 weeks for a period. I was sure I was pregnant, but I wasn't.
It can take your body a little while to get back to normal after stpooing the pill, mind you, I got pregnant the next month, so although your periods might not be regular yet, you may still ovulate, so if you don't want a baby, you should be very careful about using alternate protection. Also- don't rely on timing sex for "safe" times of the month- if you have just come off the pill, your ovulation might be iregular too and might not be when you would normally expect to be- I concieved two days after the period that took 6 weeks to come ended, according to the theory of ovulating 14 days before a period, I should have ovulated more than 11 days later.
You may even ovulate more than once in a cycle.

Use condoms.
