It could just be a side effect to coming off the pill

There can definately be side effects when coming off the pill as your body regulates itself back to a normal cycle. I got headaches after coming off the pill.

I had huge side effects coming off the pill - bloating, cramping, tender breasts, etc ... I even missed AF that month.

Take a deep breath and relax. Stressing yourself out is not going to help anything. Stress can delay AF when the time comes.

My recommendation is to relax and 2-3 days before AF is due, take a pregnancy test.

I agree the best thing to do is relax... There are definite side affects to coming off the pill. This thread has come up several times, do a search and you'll see a lot of comments and explainations that might soothe you...

Good luck and keep us posted.

The change of the weather effects out bodies in many ways. So relax!! It could be that!!

When I came off the pill, my moods were so up and down, I was beyond moody.... to the point where I thought I would need to go talk to a shrink, I felt that crazy. Definitely could be the side effects from coming off the pill.... don't worry.

Re: OK..I'm officially nervous that I might be preggo...

sounds like your body adjusting to coming off the pill. I got bad cramps and a delayed period when i went off and i was only on it for 3 months. Stress adds to it also! relax stressing yourself out over this isnt going to help with getting AF!

I was on the pill for 1 month and my cycle was all messed up. My period came 1 month late, I was convinced I was preg. and took 5 tests and it was neg, I just it was my bodys way of adjusting to gettting off the pill.

All of the girls here gave you excellent advise. Just relax. If you are pregnant, there is nothing you can do about it now, and stressing will not help. Everything will be okay.

Re: OK..I'm officially nervous that I might be preggo...

When I came off the pill in October, my body went through some changes...My face breaks out alot (and it never did even before going on the pill) and its greasy. I am also very sensititve, I can cry at the drop of a hat, like PMS. I am going to the Dr next week to see if there is some other type of pill, not BC, to help even out my hormones...

Keep us updated!

Re: OK..I'm officially nervous that I might be preggo...

I do not recommend taking the test until you are at least two days late, I took one of those take this 3-4 days before AF tests and it was negative and I thought I was not pregnant and got all disappointed then AF didnt come and a week went by and I took another TWO tests and both were positives, this happened to my friend too, even though they say early response, etc...... you can still be pregnant and really should wait till you are wait

Dont stress, maybe from stress you are just PMSing a little early ? B/c You can get AF early or late from going off the pill too
