Stopped Bc- Period Question!! Posted: 10-06-05 10:52am
I recently just stopped taking the pill
after 7 years and am experincing my first
period without the pill. My period is a
week yearly compared to where it would
have been if I was taking the pill.
Is this normal? How long can I expect my
period to last? Plese help!!

I stopped taking the pill in the middle of
may, after I had already had a period for
that month. In two weeks I had another
period, like at the beginning of june. I
didn't have a period for june, july, or
august!! Talk about panic!! But then it
came at the beginning of september, like
it would have if I had never been on the
pill. I have since started another pill,
and my period has been normal so far.
So, it is probably normal for you to start
your period a week early. The pill will
really mess your system up when you stop
taking it!
Hope this helped!!

Yeah, i'm having the same thing happen,
i'm had a normal cycle the month after I
quit the pill, then 7 days after my first
non-bc period ended I began to bleed
again, just spotting at first, then really
bled heavy for 2 days, and have been
spotting for 3 days now.

I spotted some too for the 3 months I
didn't have a period. It sucked really
because I was so like stressed out where I
wasn't having the period. That might be
why it was delayed, but I don't know. I
took pregnancy tests and they were
negative. Also, before I started my
period I had like a big white discharge!
It was weird/nasty. I thought it was
like a miscarriage or something, but it
wasn't. It really messed me up bad when
I went off of it.

I didn't notice any difference except that
my cramps were back. But my period was
right on time and just as it was before I
took the pill.
