Period But Still Pregnant??? Posted: 10-21-03 13:06pm
My husband and I have been ttc for two
months. I got off the pill in august. My
period came early with three days of brown
spotting before hand. It was only heavy
for one day then spotting the rest. Now I
am off but I am still really bloated. I
have a few other symptoms. Should I take
a test or just wait another month???

Dear babystarks,
it may take some time for your period to
return to normal after coming off the
birth control pill. It may be late, early
and even heavier or lighter than usual,
your body now has to function on it's own
without the help of the pill to control
your period. Some women find it takes
quite a while to become pregnant after
stopping birth control, others seem to
fall pregnant immediately after, everyone
is different. I fell pregnant 3 months
after stopping birth control, and I had
been on the pill for 13 years prior to
that. So I consider myself very lucky.
You could take a test if you feel you may
be pregnant, it certainly won't hurt, and
would definately give you piece of mind if
nothing else.
Good luck and I hope you are pregnant very
soon...

Thanks for replying. I did take the test.
Negative. I already knew that but wanted
to make sure. You are right about my body
getting back to normal. Hopefully it
won't take more than a year. Thank again.
