Hi girls. My DH and I are a little nervous about something. I went off the pill two months ago. Ortho-Tri-Cyclene. The first month after I went off, I got my period on the day after I would have gotten it if I stayed on. I figured my body didn't catch on yet that I stopped. Now this month, I haven't got anything yet. My sister and I are on the same schedule and she says today is the day I should get it if I stayed on the pill, however, I write down in my date book when I am due for it, and I had it as coming last Wednesday. Another thing, for over a week now I have seen light pink in the morning when I go to the bathroom, but nothing comes all day. When I was on the pill, light pink would come the day before maybe and then there it was.? If I was pregnant what signs would I have. I am bloated like I am due for it, and my boobs feel hard (sorry to be so graphic), but my poor DH is terrified. We have been careful. so whats up? Am I worrying for nothing or is my body finally adusting to me getting off the pill?

When I went off, it took several months for me to get regular again. One month I had it twice, another time I didnt have it for 2 months.

There is a very good chance that your body is just adjusting to being off the pill BUT I highly suggest going to CVS and picking up a home test. Do you want to be pregnant?

I came off the pill in October (OrthoCyclene) and the next two cycles (November and December) I was two and one weeks late, respectively. It just took time for my body to adjust from a 24 day cycle (as was with the pills) to a normal 28-30 day cycle I had before pills. Chances are, you’re probably just late. If you don’t feel like your going to get it in the next week or so, give your doc a call.

I think I am going to take a test. But I also don't know when to take the test because I know you are suppose to wait till the day after when you are suppose to get it right, and I now I don't know what day that is ! :( I agree with you girls, I highly think its my body adjusting! Just wanted to hear some opinions. Thanks, girls!

Sometimes stress can delay your cycle. Also sometimes people will feel symptoms even if they are not.

PMS and early pregnancy syptoms can be almost the same. There are Early tests that you can take. Just go try. It cannot hurt, and you are better off knowing as early as possible.

I agree that it's probably your body adjusting to being off the pill. Pregnancy symptoms are so similar to period sxs, that it's almost impossible to tell without a + HPT. I would test, but if you wait, and there's even a slighest chance of you being pg, take some precautions now, like refraining from alcohol.

Your body in probably adjusting. Take a test if it would give you some peace of mind.

I was on Ortho Tri cycline also for a month and it messed my cycle up big time, I got my period early and then I was 2 weeks late the following month. Panic striken I took about 5 tests and they were all negative. I was going to CVS so much, the girl behind the counter was like not yet, huh? Finally I got my period and I will never go on the pill again, I never want to be that worried again!

Yeah well that is what I think it is. I think I am going to give it another week and try not to worry and if nothing, then I will take a test. I seriously doubt I am, just wanted your insight. Thanks girls for responding. You are all such a great, caring, loving support system. I know i will be on LIWEDDINGS for years to come! :))

I am an ortho but i stopped taking it for a few months and it messed up my body. my body wasnt used to the adjustment. it drove FI nuts. i was having mood swings and i was late. I practically called my ob/gyn everyday and he was like just relax, being stressed isnt going to help it any.
I wouldnt worry, its probably just your body adjusting
