Hiya all,

Looking for a bit of support really. I am 23 and my husband and I have decided that now is the right time in our lives to start trying (or stop not trying) to have a baby. I have been on the pill, for I really cant remember how long. About 9 years I think as I had bad acne and period pains when I was in school. I know I used to be on dianette but have been on cilest for the most recent years, but for how long I cannot remember. Quite a few I think. Probably around five years.

My first 'off the pill' period was due last monday, that is based on a 28 day cycle, which is what I was on the pill. I still have not come on yet. I took two tests, one this morning and one last night as I couldn't wait ne more - both negative by the way. This morning I was sure though that I was about to come on as discharge was brownish (tmi I know) but again nothing. All week I have had no acutal visible discharge but when i wipe myself it is a very very pale pink, but not a bloody colour.

I cannot remember how regular my real periods should be, but I am very confused. I have felt a bit shaky, light headed and tired this week and I keep thinking, am I, aren't I. I wasn't even expecting to think I could be pregnant this month as I just presumed that it would take a few months to concieve but now I haven't come on it's got me wondering.

Has any one else had a similar experience after coming off the pill, It would be really nice to chat with someone in the same boat as me.

Sorry for babbling,

hiya ,when i came off my pill my period was very much the same the 1st time its not really a real period just your body ajusting as its probably forgotten what to do lol however sorry to say my second period was horrible i bled really heavy but the month after that i got pregnant and im now 20 weeks with our second child so just give your body a little while to adjust(you may not have a 28 day cycle off the pill either)and your periods will sort themselves out hope this helps x

well.............

just been to the loo and I think ive actually come on, I know that it sounds weird, but im pleased. As now I have a 'real' period date to go by. So, today is the 6th Sept. Wonder when my next will be. When do you think I will ovulate next. Isn't it around 12 - 14 days after 1st day of period, so that would be..............

gonna go and work it out. Thanks, H x: )

hi,

i stopped pill in Apr 08. had around a 4 day bleed, the nothing then bled for around 2 weeks then seemed to wait forever for nxt period but since then it seems to have evened out.

I'm taking EPO to regulate everything and increase ewcm and vit B6 to increase my LP.

hope this helps x

Hi I had something simliar two weeks after not taking mine. It lasted about three days. I was expecting to have a 'proper' period two weeks ago. I was getting the good old period pains and everything. Decided to do a test and turns out I'm pregnant! I was on the pill for almost 10 years and was told it would take ages for my body to get back to normal. I've been very lucky!
I'm now 6+3. Hope yours happens quickly for you too xx

Hello,

I was kind of in the same boat as you,
When i started my periods was very heavy & got head ache's and back pains all the time, so the doctors put me on the pill, as they say the *pill* sorts your periods out, i went on the pill and my periods was fine.. i come on regular time every month, then when i come off the pill i was always late with my periods & they got really heavy like they did before.

Don't worry so much..
A couple of months after i come off the pill my periods stopped & i took a test and it said negative.. so i went to the clinic and it said possitive..!! It also depends on what test's your using, try different ones..

Hope all goes well for you.!!
