going off BCP question...(maybe TMI)
I went off BCPs in the middle of August, so about the 3rd week (I don't know the exact date) in August was my last period from the pill. I didn't have another period until October, it ended Oct. 11. I have yet to have another period, no signs/symptoms of an upcoming one either, except some mood swings (which might be due to work stress). We haven't been using protection, we're not actively trying to get pregnant, but also wouldn't mind it, either. I've taken a few pregnancy tests, but they've all been negative. I also know that it takes a while for periods to even out after going off BCPs, and before I was on BCPs I rarely had a period. What would you do? I'm just not sure if I should wait it out or call the dr?
I may DD later, btw. :-)
Re: going off BCP question...(maybe TMI)
when I went off BC I had one period before getting pregnant. I took a test when I was 2 weeks late and another at 4 weeks late. It wasn't until 4 weeks late that the test came up postive. I don't know if that was because of the BC or not, but with both other pregnancies I tested postive within days after my missed period.
So, I think if you want to call the OB for peace of mind, there isn't anything wrong with that, but I would probably wait a few more weeks to see if you get AF or a BFP
