Going Off Birth Control...irregular ??? Posted: 05-28-07 19:13pm
I had been on ortho tri-cyclen lo for
about 2 and a half years up untill last
month until I had to go off of it. My
doctor had me go off of it to see if that
was the cause of my high blood pressure.
(which i think it was...) But now i'm
concerned that I might be pregnant because
I haven't had my period yet and I'm about
a week or so late. I'm wondering if this
is normal to me irregular after going off
of it or not?
Has this happened to anyone else??????
I was never really regulated before the
pill or even after going on it but still
I'm nervous. My boyfriend and I used both
Concepterol and condoms but still....you
never know. Thanks for any help!

it can take up to a year for your cycle to
regulate; other women concieve immediately
with unprotected sex (like my mom did to
make my brother). Your cycle for sure is
not going to be exactly the same way it
was on the pills. It may be 40 days long
or 15.

Some women are regular (or pregnant) right
away. Others (like me) aren't so lucky.
Are you trying to conceive? Are you using
another form of protection now that you
are no longer on the pill? If not, you
could be pregnant. The only way to know
for sure is to take a test.
Good luck and keep us posted.

Not trying to conceive, I had blood
pressure problems so I had to go off of it
for a month or so but we used spermicidal
condoms and spermicide. We were careful I
though but I would be the minority of
people that would get pregnant against the
odds.
