*help* Late Or Missing Period After Getting Off the Pill
Posted: 11-08-04 03:50am

I was on the pill for 2 months from august to september 2004 and stopped in mid-september after the end of the pack.

I got my period on time in early october, and I had expected to get it also in early november (normally it comes within 28 days), but I still don't have it!

Is it possible to have irregular periods after getting off the pill? Even if I had a regular period right after getting off the pill? Or should I continue panicking that I am pregnant??

I'm so worried, can someone please help??

I'm in the same situation. I stopped taking the pill in the 3rd week of the pack. I had my last period on september 23rd. I haven't had a period yet. I been having sex but I don't know if it's because of the pill or I might be pregnant.

Missing Period ... Maybe the Pill?
Posted: 11-08-04 19:38pm

I stopped taking the pill at the end of my last cycle in mid september and haven't had another since. I was hoping someone could give me any information as to whether this is a common problem, or possible pregnancy is more likely. I have taken several at home tests, all of which have come up negative, but my doctors office seems to think that the lack of a period is not likely to be from going off the pill. Thank you.

Not to Worry
Posted: 12-18-04 02:18am

I have also had the same problem. I got off the pill in september after being on it for 10 years and have not had a period. I went to the doctor after missing my third one and he said not to worry about it yet that it just takes a while. I have also taken several pregnancy tests that have all been negative and he said those are very accurate so he did no other tests. I was suppossed to go back for my yearly in feb. But he said to wait until april so by then I would have a few good cycles hopefully. Hope this helps!
