So Confused Posted: 03-05-07 21:18pm
I am so confused! I recently stopped
taking my birth control pills. My lmp was
2-20-07. I did not start my next pack.
Today I began bleeding heavily. Did I
already ovulate? Is it to early for me to
have ovulated? Is this with drawl
bleeding? I am just so confused. I cant
start tracking when i even *might* be
ovulating until I get regular and I cant
even tell if this counts or not. Im sorry
for rambling..Im just so frustrated. Thank
you for any advice!

Remember, when you get off of BC you can
ovulate almost immediately!
Yes, this very well could be your period.
If you are trying to avoid pregnancy by
tracking your cycles, then doing so after
BC is not advised. You need to wait a few
months to see how everything works out.

Thank you for your help. You have helped
so many women and I want you to know that
you are appreciated. I do however, have
another question. I stated in my earlier
post that I had begun bleeding. Well the
bleeding has gotten *very* heavy. I am
going through one super tampon every
45min. -1hr. It was never like this on
birth control. I have also passed many
*large* clots. I'm slightly concerned.
But, I have been on birth control for so
long I don't know if this is an adverse
reaction to the hormones, or if this is
what it is suppose to be like. Again,
sorry for the rambling, I guess I'm just
paranoid. Any help or advice would be very
much appreciated!

Most natural periods are quite heavy,
unlike the ones on BC pills.
It may very well be normal for your body,
but it does sound like a lot. If that
pattern of heaviness lasts for too long,
you should def call your doc.

If it continues to be this heavy through
the night. (I was in so much pain i had to
take a vicodin and a soma). I will
definitely be calling my doctor in the
morning. If this is how it will be on a
monthly basis, I am not sure I can
continue this. I may have to go back on
birth control
Thank you very much for your concern. It
is very nice to have someone to talk to.

Many women have painful and unmanageable
cycles, so they stay on BC because if
ehalth reasons.
If you do not wish to have babies, BC is
the best protection you are gonna get, and
it keeps your period manageable.

That is the problem. I went of birth
control because we want to have a child.
We are not actively trying. We wont be
temping or anything. We wanted to take a
when-it-happens-it-happens approach. Just
let it happen (at least for the initial
few months) then possibly get more
aggressive. That is why I am so upset
about the current events. If this is going
to be a monthly occurrence...I just don't
know if I can do it. I'm
sorry for venting. I am just very
emotional right now.
