First 'real' AF after stopping pill
Afternoon ladies,
Hope you can help. I stopped taking the pill in September, had my withdrawal bleed then nothing for 56 days. Last Wednesday AF (or so I though) arrived, it felt really weird though, I wasn't bloated, had no pain at all (very strange as usually I am Nurofen - ed up for the five days!) and it stopped completely after two days.
Has anyone else experienced this?? Is this normal since my cycles are just getting back to normal after 10 years on the pill?
Thanks girls

Hope this helps xx
Will just keep a note of it and see what happen next month. Can I still count the first day as CD1 do you think? Just wish I had a better idea of where I was at with my cycle but suppose it's still early days.
Thanks again

I had my first AF 36 days after stopping my pill at the end of Sept 09. I too was on it for 10 years. My af was different too, although still had sore boobs and tummy cramps. It only lasted 4 days and I'm now on CD11, so goodness knows when the next one will show up!
What CD are you?

I am now CD5 - so do you reckon in about a week just to go for it?? I haven't bothered to buy a fertility monitor yet because I wanted to wait for my cycles to settle down, I am just getting a bit sick AND impatient now!
