Miscarriage? Help! Posted: 08-11-06 11:18am
I stopped taking my birth control pills on
the 4th. I got my period on the 10th...
Or what i'm hoping is my period. I'm
having alot of pain in my stomach and also
cramping where my ovaries are. The
bleeding is heavier then usual but i'm
assuming it's because i'm not taking the
bc anymore. I'm scared though because it
seems to soon for me to be having my
period after stopping the pill and this is
alot more painful then normal. Is this
normal? I'm kind of scared =/

I suggest you go to your doctors, but
remember if you do come off your bc your
period if most likely to be heavier than
normal

Your body can be confused after coming off
of hormonal birth control and may bleed at
different times for a few months. Or
until your body regulates it's own hormone
balance. I doubt this would be considered
a 'miscarriage' - if you just went off
birth control on the 4th and had your
'period' on the 10th, you would not have
ovulated yet.
Good luck at the doctor's office.

I dont see anythign wrong with getting a
period right after stopping the pill.
Your body is very confused right now as to
why there is no more hormones running
through it. Having a period so soon is
probably a good thing , means you'll get a
regualr cycle back that much sooner. No
need to contact your dr and waste his time
for this , your bleeding is normal and
sounds pretty normal. If you bleed for 8+
days only then would I suggest a Dr.
Visit.

Oh yess...My periods are still really
heavy and i've been off bc for almost 7
months. They are getting better though.
A little unpredictable. This last one
was 8 days late and when it came...It
came. It was really heavy. So, yea
it'll take your body a while to get used
to being off bc for a while. I even
missed a period all togehter the second
month after I stopped taking it.

This is true..I was on depo and my periods
are always late, once I stopped the depo I
didnt have a peroid for 5 mths..Wasnt
pregnant but the doctor always prescribed
something else to take..So I started
taking female vitiamns to help me build
the things I was losing and now my periods
are 45days apart..And they are sometimes
light and heavy..Irregular periods are
normal when you stop using birth
control...Just be very careful and use the
back up method if you are having
sex..Fertility rate can go up especially
if you are on the pill..
