It could very well be a problem if, after,
you quit your birth control you had
unprotected sex.
But if you didn't have unprotected Sex,
and had a normal period after you quit
your birth control, it could just be your
body still adjusting. Because your first
regular period even after birth control
might still have came from the effect of
the pill.
Take a test, to be sure. Never take any
risks with missed periods.
:]
Good luck. Keep me posted.

Me Too

I just stop taking ALESSE (28 day cycle)
about two months ago end of may 2007. In
June I hadmy regular period and now July I
should have gotten about 3 days ago
(around the 26 & 27th) My period is
very regular ever since i have gotten it
but now im starting to worry if i could be
pregnant... Im also hoping that its
stopping the pill could do that also
because of the change of hormones in my
body Im also sexually active with my
boyfriend but we always had protected sex
and we always check the condom afterwards
too to see if its not punctured... So
could my BC do that? have one period after
i get off it and then I dont have one?

Yes, your birth control can do that.

If you don't have the issue of unprotected
sex after stopping the pills, then don't
panic!!
Stopping birth control can often cause
late periods especially for the first
month or two; my gyno even told me the
same thing.

ah.
thx God for lucious T! hehe
im having the exact same thing and im
freaking out. i thought i was ok after
quitting because my period came at the
rite time in the first month without bc,
and now this month its not even here.
by the way is it possible to feel like ur
period is going to come but not, ive had
lots of symptons (because i get my period
really bad sometimes) like cramps, gas and
my lower back was hurting like crazy. I'm
going to visit a GP tomorrow anyways just
to make sure take the blood test and
hopeful he/she will tell me its because of
bc. Ive been having protected sex anyways
ever since i quit bc and my boyfriend and
i are very cautious!
anyways i thank the person who anwsered
Lucious T's problem..thx u thx u thx u! i
cant say it enough .. u made my worrying a
little less. i think im gonna go return to
using bc just because i realize how much
stress this put on me. thx u again!

Yes it's possible, that's exactly
what happened to me. It felt like my
period came and went but with no bleeding
for the week and then Friday evening AFTER
my gyno appointment it came, lmao.

Well I had my last placebo-week period and
then was officially off the pills. 28 days
came and I didn't have my period yet but
that's when the cramping started (on a
monday). I cramped all week and then
finally friday night I got my period. I
was bleeding/spotting until yesterday.
So, my period wasn't *really* late. It was
late by a few days, which makes sense
since my off-pill cycle is 35 days lol.
So I didn't have a month of "not having",
but many women do have this.
It make take 3-4 months for your cycle to
become regular again.

Well, you can take bc pills to regulate
your period but then why go off them in
the first place?
You shouldn't assume that you're pregnant
unless you have had unprotected sex. Since
you haven't, I would just guess that it is
your body adjusting to stopping the pills.
It is possible, (because it's always
possible) but unlikely that you're
pregnant.

well the reason why i stopped bc in the
first place was because my prescription
expired and at the time i had exams to
deal with and i just started a new job and
my scheudule was completly booked. I was
going to go (because my last pack was in
May 2007) in mid June be4 my period came
so i could start it asap but never had the
time. and by then i kinda liked not takin
the pill every day. But now i kinda regret
it becuz im stressing over this..which
hopefully is nothing
hopefully ill get it soon or in august
sometime.
so if i take a Hpt and it 's
negative..should i return back on the
pill?

The clinic will actually require you take
a test in the clinic before they give you
any form of birth control anyway.

Asap of course. Inform them of everything
that has happened so they can tell you if
it's too early to know, and everything
else.
