Pregnant or Symptoms of coming off the pill?
962891
I think you're experiencing the side effects of coming off the pill.  Remember, bcps are hormones, now your body is having to adjust to your own level of hormones.\nIf the HPT's are coming back negative - I would quit wasting your money for right now, give yourself another week or so and if you still don't start, then try taking another HPT.

If you stopped taking birth control, you are not experiancing break through bleeding. Break through bleeding is a term used only to describe bleeding while taking active hormones. \n\nWhat you are experiencing is a period. If you were irresponsible about going off birth control and stopped half way through your pack, then the bleeding could last much longer than your regular period and your cycle is going to take some time to go back to normal. You messed up your hormonal cycle. If you were smart about it and waited until the end of a pack to go off birth control, your bleeding should only last as long as it usually does each month when you get your period. \n\nSince you are planning on becoming pregnant, you should wait about 2 to 3 full natural cycles to attempt to get pregnant. Right now your body is getting used to being off hormones and you may not ovulate for a few months or experience irregular cycles. It may be better to wait. No worries though, if you were fertile before going on the pill, you should have no problems becoming pregnant soon. \n\nThese sorts of questions should always be directed at your prescribing doctor though, so go see your doc!

Sounds like 'breakthrough bleeding', which is natural when you start then stop the pill. I'd just start again with a new month of pills, and stick to it this time. Feeling lightheaded could be from the pill, if you were new to taking them.

Nausea and fatigue are also signs that your period is about to come. Have you had unprotected sex with in the last 30 days? If so I would take a pregnancy test just to make sure, and follow up with another one in 2 weeks if the results are false. If the second one says its false you aren't pregnant. If you are having unprotected sex please visit your local planned parent hood, or see your doctor, for discrete sex counseling and advice on different birth control methods and help find one that is right for you. You can also purchase over the counter foams and gels to help protect your self, But remember that they do not protect against STD or AIDS.

The best thing is to see a doctor. However, I had a very similar experience. My doctor watched me and everything worked it self out. His belief was that recovering from being pregnant giving birth, and starting the pill was a bit of an overload causing confusion for my body. Best wishes to your sister.

1.) Yes, you can get pregnant after coming off the pill. For some women it takes a while for their cycle to return to normal. For some it only takes a few weeks or a month. Talk with your gynecologist to decide what pill will be best for you. \n2.) Remember when starting a new pill side effects can last anywhere from a week to three months so give it a fair go. It is better to just stay on it straight through versus going on and off. Going on and off can seriously whack your body/cycle and emotions out because your body will be constantly having a change in the hormones. And your periods would be all over the place.\n3.) Every pill will affect different people differently. That's why I say check with your doctor. I DON'T recommend the shot(Depo Provera) because some of the more common side effects are constant spotting and weight gain. Also it can take months or even a year after you go off it to have a regular cycle back. You may want to try a low-dose pill because of previous emotional side effects. Something like Ortho TriCyclen Lo or that new Nuvaring(you only have to remember that once a month!).\n\nGood luck.

Try these sites. I know if your not on the pill you are quite fertile 7 to 14 day's after the end of your cycle ( I should know I forgot two pills on accident and my Accident is growing up to be a rather lovely at the moment 9 yr old girl. Seems I was QUITE fertile durring my wee indescression *lol* *blush*\n\nAnyway I found these sites, they should be good for what your asking. Good Luck!! Will keeep fingers crossed for you. Haveing a child is truly a wonderful miricle. Course the 9 months of HE** you go through not to mention the LABOR aren't fun *LOL* but.. the end result is something you will treasure forever. If your a high risk on keeping pregnant then I would suggest once you KNOW your pregnant ( proof from Dr. ) Don't do ANYTHING at all to cause a possible misscarage. No LIFTING anything heavier than a paperback book, get PLENTY of REST and SLEEP, and above all else avoid STRESS. If you get preg and can make it through your first 3 months called the critical months you have it made provided you don't get into an accident that is. *hugs*

anything. Pregnancy, it can be stress related, you could be over exercising, under eating, taking medication with those side effects. I had a lot of stress not too long ago and it really messed mine up and I'm generally pretty regular. Hope it sorts itself out soon. If it is really bad and doesn't you may want to visit the doctors.

i could be wrong but i dont think your body needs to adjust. if anything it might take a week or so since your body is so used to the pill. but even pack says that if you "forget" to take a pill that it highers your chances for getting pregnant. Im assuming its the same when stopping the pill. I hope this helps if not then I would call your womens health doctor, they would definatly know.

the longer you were on birth control, the longer your body takes to adapt to life without it. your body is probably trying to reset itself and you might not conceive for a while if you were on the pill for a longer amount of time.\n\ntake to your ob/gyn for specifics

I have had sex while on the pill and not gotten pregnant, so odds as slim that you will. However it is possible. So if you are concerned you can get tested at your local clinic.

I am not sure but I have a friend in the same boat so I am posting a response so I can keep tabs on other answers..It could be birth control related, are you on the shot or were taken off the shot w/in the past year? Break through bleeding like that can happen when going off birth control...well I hope we both find an answer, its not looking too hopeful is it:(

Yes, I had severe hormonal problems from being on the pill.  Everyone's tolerance is different, and my body just couldn't handle the imbalance hormonal birth control creates.  It took over 3 years for my body to regulate itself after I stopped taking birth control pills.

If you have reason to believe you're pregnant ( I.E. unprotected sex ) then you should get a pregnancy test.  Sometimes after long periods of being on birth control your body adjusts suddenly which could cause changes in your cycle and flow.  Check with your doctor just to make sure, not only can your doctor do an accurate pregnancy test (blood instead of urine) but can give you more info on the change of cycles.
