Questions About Birth Control? Posted: 09-19-05 09:13am
How many weeks should your cycle be
abnormal when you first get off birth
control? Is it possible to ovulate before
you have your first period (without bc)?
I am 3 weeks late for my period and I have
been off bc for 2 months...Could I be
pregnant? Will the birth control affect
the reading of a pregnancy test?
Thanks in advance!

no. A pregnancy test
tests for a different hormone than is in
the birth control pills and after two
months, your body should be producing
normal hormone levels and ovulating.
Take the pregnancy test or go to the
doctor.
If you need anything, pm me.

I am in the same boat as you...I hate
having my cycle so irregular. I've been
off the pill since july (got my period
right away) and haven't had it since.
Since we're ttc i'm always thinking i'm
pregnant. My gyno said to give it one
more month and take a pregnancy test
again, (i'm testing every couple of weeks)
and then they could "jump start" my cycle
using progesterone pills that help it
along. Good luck!

I am in the same boat you are, why does bc
mess up your periods so much? I thought
i'd start right away with no problems and
now i'm just stressing out about being
pregnant! I already took one test and it
said negitive but i'm going to try another
this week. Hope all goes well with yours!
