Q: Anyone Else In This Situation

asked by: Abbysmom on February 16th, 2006

This is my first month off of nuvaring birth control. I have been having mild cramps since last thursday and my breasts have been tender for a couple of days. I am also having a lot of discharge - need to wear a pantyliner but no af. I had a pregnancy (blood) test on tuesday which was negative. I can't really say what my cycle should be since I just stopped bc. 28 days would have been last thursday. Today is day 35. I'm just not sure what is going on.

Birth control is no fun to come off of. Your body is now lacking all those hormones so it is probley just trying to adjust without the bc. I felt horrible when I came off of mine. Give it a little more time to see if it af comes, if it does not come soon I would give the dr a call.

When I got off by bcps before my dd was born it was well over a year before I had a cycle without having to take meds to make it happen. I had just really hoped that it would be different this time. I guess I should have known better. I am not going to wait as long this time to see the doctor though.
