Period After Birth Control

After stopping birth control, how long did
it take for you ladies to have a period?
I stopped bc 1 month ago, and missed my
expected period this month. I had cramps
one day but nothing to get excited about.
I'm sure my body is just adjusting, but
how many periods should I expect to miss?
Not that i'm complaining too much, cuz
they aren't that enjoyable to begin with.
Hee hee.

Did you stop at the end of ur pack or in
the middle? It usually takes your body a
couple months to regulate itself after
stoping b/c.

I don't remember it was so long ago that I
stopped taking it (bad reactions) but I
think it was like 3 months before
everything evened out.

Yeah...I had been on bc years ago. When I
stopped taking them...It was almost 2
months before my af started up again...And
I had it for like 10 days!! If you're
overly concerned...Speak w/ your doc.
But...It's normal for your cycle to take a
while to get back on track.
Hope this helps. Best of luck to you!

It took my cycle 2 months to become reg
but then it went wacko, I stopped about 7
to 8 months ago. Everyone is going to be
different.. Hopefully you don't take long
to get in a pattern. Good luck

Hi chrissy-
have you had unprotected sex since you
have been off bc pills? If so, you could
be pregnant. I stopped taking my pills
and within that first month I got
pregnant. So of course, I missed my first
cycle after stopping the pills too! Lol

Yes...I did have sex...3 days after I
stopped the pill (which I was ovulating at
that time) and once last week when I was
supposed to be on my period, but it didn't
come yet so we went ahead and had our fun.
Hee hee I figured that I probably
wouldn't get pregnant 3 days after (how
long does bc stay in your system.)
anyways, i'll just wait to see what
happens. I've been feeling very gasy
these past few days, and my back is sore,
but nothing else. I'll just make sure to
be extremely healthy, for atlease another
month or so. If I don't get a period by
then, i'll go to the doctor. I took 2
hpt's and both were neg. I don't feel
like going to the doctor one more time,
for him to do a blood test and find out
i'm not pregnant. It's too stressful and
really lets a girl down.

I forgot to mention...That i'm extremely
tired all the time...I even stayed home
from work on monday because I couldn't
concentrate getting ready in the morning
and didn't trust myself to even drive that
tired. I've been coming home everynite
and going to bed early...My hubby thinks
that i'm getting to be an "old lady" says
that's what old people do. Hee hee. I
should probably put this in another forum,
but you ladies are very helpful, and
usually all post in the other forums any
how. I figured all this tiredness has to
do with stopping the pill too.
What can I do to wake my butt up? I've
tried extra sleep, cold/hot showers,
caffeine, etc. Nothing will work. If
you girls have any ideas, please, let me
know. I'm falling asleep at my desk at
work sometimes! It's embarrassing!

Well they say u have to take your pills
same time everyday for it to b effective
and its possible to get pregnant from
missing one so im sure it would be
possible 3 days later as for waking up I
dunno but take it easy on the caffiene
just in case :wink:
