Periods After the Pill.
Posted: 11-01-07 17:09pm

Hi, Wondered if anyone can help. I came of the pill two months ago, had a period about 3 weeks ago but this only lasted for two days, since then had really bad stomach cramps and a feeling of 'comming on' but nothing. Is this normal? has anyone got any advice?

Normal?????

EVERYTHINGS normal when you just come off the pill. it's different for everyone- It's such a pain.
It takes a while for your body to get back into the swing of things, and, a while to figure out again, what's normal for you.

The first time I went off the Pill to TTC, it was 6 weeks+ before I got a period I was buying pregnancy tests like there was no tomorrow for the whole 2 weeks.
Then I got the period (grrr) and it lasted, like 2 or 3 days.
I got pregnant that month, but, going by the dates, I must've ovulated only 2 days after the short period- Like day 5 of my cyle or something stupid- I can't really remember now- definately not when I would've expected to.

So, now I'm off the pill again- thinking about conceiving number 3. I stopped taking it at the end of October. I"m a week late for my period already, and although I've had the odd twinge, I'm not really expecting to see it for another week or so. I'm certainly not testing!!! I did test for ovulation around the 14 day mark and beforehand- nothing, god knows if I ovulated at all, and if so when.
Just hanging out for my period, so we can start over!!!!!
I don't feel pregnant at all, so I'd say it'll show up sometime.

It's such a pain, I'm lucky enough to be trying for the 3rd and last time, so I'm happy if it takes a little while- Lenghthen the whole "process" because 3 kids is enough for us, and I don't want it all over Too soon- y'know? but Days seem like Weeks when you're trying for the first time, and Ovulation to period to ovulation again seems like a lifetime.

If you're worried, or in alot of pain, talk to your doctor, but once they hear "just came off the pill" they'll probably just give you the old "wait and see" It's frustrating, but there's not alot else to be done. Focus on your overall health, diet excercise etc, and your body will settle into it's own pattern.


Eventually.
