Q: Coming Off the Pill

Hi there! I'm new to these forums. I hope you all can help!

Heres the situation, I was late to order a new pack of pills, and my doctor was going to be away until after i needed to start my new pack. (I'm 25 and have been on the pill for about 9 years) My hubby and I are thinking of having children in the near future anyway, and are considering not even ordering a new pack so I can start coming off the pill.
I had my last pill on saturday, and my period was over on tuesday (as usual) It was a weird period for me, the first two days of it (last thursday and friday) it began in the morning and then went away for the rest of the day. it was normal for the last two days of my cycle. Today (thrusday and my period ended tuesday), I have had light pink spotting only when I wipe. Is this due to the fact that I have not started a new pill pack?

I hope that i haven't left any info out. Any help you can give me is much appreciated!!
thanks!!

Very Happy

Yes, it does seem to be due to the fact that you didn't start a new pack. I wouldn't worry about it at all. Good luck on conceiving soon!

hey ladies!!
thanks so much for your responses, you were denfiately right!
how long does it usually take for your body to adjust? this month I had a really strange period again
the day my period was due, I had nothing but a brown discharge only when i wiped. This went on for three days. I had one day normal bleed (which was yesterday) and now its over. Is this common when coming off the pill?
thanks guys!!!! I think i wanna be preggo too badly lol

I mean, it really just depends on your body. Some women get pregnant immediately, some women wait for a year.
