Stopped mid-pack, but could I be pregnant...
We are TTC, I've been taking the pill for about 6 years. I started my final pack on the 12th December but stopped 10 days in on the 22nd December. I had a withdrawal bleed on the 25th for about 4 days. When should I expect my first proper period? About 4 weeks from the first day of my WB or when I had my last WB whilst I was taking the pill? Ive had nothing yet. My body seems a bit all over the place (as expected), I've had a lot of lower abdominal cramping and lower back pain the last few days, as well as bad indigestion, sore nipples and gas (tmi). Is there a chance I could be pregnant or could it just be my body adapting to coming off the pill? I didn't think I'd ovulate this month as I came off mid pack, but maybe I have!

Hi Liz,
I have heard some women can get pregnant straight after stopping the pill so it is a po
Sorry I didn't finish my message .
It is a possibilty. I came off the pill 30th September, had my withdrawal bleed. Then my first proper period was 7 weeks later. I was hoping that meant my body was getting back on track but since then I still haven't had another period and it's been another 8 weeks. Its hard to knows going on after coming off the pill but anything is possible.
I have read similar and I'm driving myself mad, it's impossible not to think about it because I can always feel this light cramping.
I hope your body starts to settled down soon! I'm not sure what mines up to, theoretically I'm 2 weeks late if I keep up my 28 day cycle but counting from my WB I have a week to wait. (Regretting not finishing my pack!)
I know how you feel! Im getting very frustrated by it, as three months later I thought they would be back to normal by now. I never knew how long it might take for your body to get back to normal when I started taking the pill. every now and then I get really light spotting and cramp and I get happy thinking my period is going to arrive and then it doesn't. Ive been thinking about going to the doctors just for a chat but I think they will just tell me to wait as I've read it can take up to 6 months to get back to normal. Hope you get back to normal soon Too.
It's always worth seeing the doc incase he can work out if there's something else going on! You're probably right though and it will just take a bit of time to settle down. It is different from person to person! I'm hoping I come on soon so it'll be my first supposedly fertile cycle or I'll take a test to see if Ive been lucky this month but, I'll give it 10 days! (fingers crossed.)
Remembering from when I was the pill and stopped, you count CD1 as the last bleed you had.... so the bleed you had mid-pack would be CD1 and then OV should be approx 2 weeks from then.... good luck
Thank you! I should have another week then before im due on so I'll see what happens then.
