Stopped Taking B.c. Now Late Period Posted: 01-08-04 21:50pm
I recently stopped taking birth control
pills, and now my period is late and
instead I have thick, sticky discharge.
I'm a virgin, so I know it's not late
because i'm pregnant. Can anyone help?

Sometimes, going off the pill will screw
up your cycle for a while. Not sure how
long, adn i'm actually experiencing the
same thing right now. If you get too
worried about it, your doctor can give you
some hormones to start your period back
up.

When I stopped my birth control I got a
yeast infection and then I missed my
period and I get the worst stomach aches,
I just hope I dont miss it anymore it
scares me a little

Were you on birth control for acne or
something? How come you came off of it?
A better idea than getting hormones from
your doctor would be to go get some
vitamins. A good thing to try is vitex.
It's a herb called chasteberry tree that
helps your hormones get regulated. When
coming off birth control your hormones
have to retrain themselves again. It's
very common to miss periods or have
irregular cycles. I came off bcp 8
months ago and my periods still aren't
back to normal. I started taking vitex
so i'm hoping it will help.

Well Im Still Worried.. Posted: 08-29-05 18:24pm
So how late was your period when you got
of bc. B/c I have been on birth control
for about 4 years and three/four weeks
ago I got off. And I am a week late and I
really dont think im pregnate, im just
kinda curious to see what the typical
length is before starting again. :roll:

Well I had 2 cycles right after bcp that
was right back to my normal cycles prior
to bcp which was 35 days. Then they
started becoming longer and longer. But
you never know. Just wait until you
start getting preg symtoms. Then maybe
test.
