Hi my name is megan. :) my husband and I
were on birth control for over a year and
we decided for religious purposes to stop
it and try natural family planning. I
discontinued my birth control feb 1st, had
a period feb 3-7 and i'm expecting my next
period march 3. Today is feb 27th and I
am experiencing some tingling and sharp
twinges in my vaginal canal, some mild
cramping (so mild it almost feels like
gas!) and some very light spotting (pink,
and only noticed when I wipe) I usually
have very heavy periods with severe cramps
so i'm confused as to what this could be.
Any advice? :?:

You could possible be having implantation
bleeding or it could just be your body
adjusting to being off of birth control.
Sometimes it takes a while for your system
to get back to normal after using hormonal
birth contro. I would wait a few more
days or a week and if you don't have your
normal af, I would take a pregnancy test.
Are you opposed to having a baby now?

Thank you for the reply. No i'm not
opposed to having a baby right now, it is
just not being planned for... We aren't
"trying" right now. Update: I am now
having a brownish pink discharge that is
kinda slimy, but again, only seen when I
wipe.... You think i'm probably just
adjusting to the birth control?

My guess would be that you are just
adjusting to being off of birth control.
I'm not an expert though. I just know,
your system can get totally out of whack
when you come off of hormonal birth
control. Sometimes it is hard to tell
since early pregnancy symptoms can be
similar to pms. I would wait another
week and if you don't get af, I would try
a pregnancy test just to make sure.

We've been ttc for 1.5 yrs. I've had
that light pink spotting (when I wipe)
quite a bit too...Including right now.
I'm not sure why that is.
