When i first came off my pill, my periods were so irregular!!! I went nearly 3 months without a period. Its just your body adjusting (especially if you were on the pill for ages like i was!!)
I'm sure you'll be fine! If you feel really really worried then take a test or go to your doctors but I'm sure they'll say the same thing as me!???
Have you done a test?
I came off pill after 5yrs had 1 period now i'm pregnant!
It could also just be your body adjusting after being on the pill it can take a few months to get back to normal but you should do a test x
Don't worry about it .
It happins to every girl.
the same thing happened to me i came off the pill last november had a period in dec and avent had one since ive took 2 pregnancy tests and they both said negative. then i was told by a number of different people that it can take up to 6 monthes to get back to normal! so i wouldnt worryx
dont worry.you are not pregnent.by the way it happens to every girl.
so have you had a ***
you know what i mean.
It's normal when coming off hormonal birth control - hormonal birth control like the pill works by suppressing your menstrual cycle, your menstrual cycle now has to get itself back to normal.
Although it normally only takes 3 months when you go on the pill for everything to settle down it can take up to 12 months for your normal cycle to regulate again when you come off the pill.
If you had irregular periods before going on the pill then the problem may come back again once you come off the pill as it may be a problem with your menstrual cycle/fertility that was just being hidden by using the pill. If you were irregular prior to going onto the pill it may be worth talking to your doctor about possibly taking tests to see if there is a problem that needs treatment.
If you go more than three months without a period this is known as 'amenorrhea', if this happens to you then it may be something to worry about so you'd need to go to your doctor, for now don't worry...
When I came off the pill to go onto FAM my periods were coming but not regular for about 11 months, fortanatly using FAM I could tell what was happening, when my period was due and that I wasn't knocked-up.
...I say don't worry, but if you have been sexually active then there is of course a risk of pregnancy, do a pregnancy test just in case.
Have you done a pregnancy test? if not try that first, then if you haven't had a period for 8 weeks then I wouldn't worry too much about it as it will start when its ready to start.
Good Luck hope this helps
