I come off the contraceptive pill in May & haven't had a period since, I have taken two pregnancy tests one in June & one 3 weeks ago. I have requested a call back from my gp but this won't be for another week. I have read on other forums it can be common to have no periods for awhile when coming off the pill?
View 2 Replies3 months back I had sex and agree that I had got my periods for continuous 2 months but this month I have not got my periods yet.
View 1 RepliesI started birth control pills almost three months ago. As soon as I started taking them I bled and bled for the whole time I was on them, so almost three months. I recently decided in the middle of my third pack that I would stop taking them and get off of the pill. I am still bleeding two days after but it is heavier than the usual bleed I had on the pill. Is this my period starting? If not how long will the bleeding last until it stops?

View 14 RepliesI have been taking "Femodette" since around beginning of June 2015 and been taking it back to back once because i was on vacation. I only took 2 packs of femodette. After i finished the second one towards the end of july, i completely stopped taking birth control. I only took it because i'm in a long distance relationship and i was spending some time with my boyfriend so i thought might as well get protected during this time (and i always do this when we get a chance to be together, which is twice a year). We never use condoms but we also never had any problems (he never finished inside). I always took my pills on time, never missed a pill. My period would always be late when i stop taking the birth control and it always gets me worried and stressed out that i could be pregnant. But i was starting to think its because of the stress and maybe because i always travel during that time. Now, this time same thing is happening again. Today, 13th August and still no period even though i stopped taking the pill for weeks and weeks. I did have some bleeding once shortly after finishing the pill. It was more than spotting because i had to wear a pad and it was a bit dark redish and then turned lighter to be brown as the days went by but wasn't a real period flow. I'm not very worried if i could be pregnant right now because i have no symptoms at all except that my period hasnt come yet. I do have mild cramps from time to time and bloating but its gone now. I'm just wondering if there is a chance i could be pregnant or is it because of taking the pill back to back and traveling + stress?
View 2 RepliesI had hormones tested and I am in menopause. I have not had a period in 4 years. Only been off the pill for a month after being on it for a long time. I am told I should still use condoms for birth control, which myself and hubby don't like at all. Chances of getting pregnant may not be likely but can happen. I really prefer to use nothing, but I don't want to end up with a pregnancy at this age. Anyone in their 40's and 50's have gone through this? What was your choice of birth control when the doctor takes you off the pill? Should I not worry about it and use zero protection? Do you think my doctor is being ridiculous?
View 6 RepliesI've recently just been to my doctors and asked to go on the pill. However, I am unsure when to take my first one, I'm due to come on my period in about 2 weeks, however I go on holiday around the same time, and I don't want to be on whilst I'm away.
View 1 RepliesI have been on the pill for nearly a month now, before I went on the pill, I had really irregular periods, probably one every couple of months, if that.. now last tuesday I noticed I had started my period, but it wasn't a 'proper' period, it isn't enough to worry about it leaking, and it only seems to happen if I use a tampon, last night I used a pad and woke up to nothing so assumed I had finished, but shortly after I thought I should be safe so used a tampon and there was suddenly a lot of blood on it.
Now over the last week and 2 days, it hasn't always been blood, more like weird brown stuff, what should I do, is this normal or shall I go back to the nurse? It's just a nuisance, as although I'm not actually on my period, I can't have sex like it?
It's great for me and I have no real problems with it, I no longer get a period which is fine with me! However, when it comes around to the first couple of days of the month I get some of the feelings I used to get when I did get a period like, mood swings, painful tummy, eating non-stop chocolate!! I can handle this as it's only a few days and not unbearable, but I just wanted to know if this is a common thing to happen. Do women usually still feel an effect of their period, without actually having a bleed?
View 2 RepliesI have gotten the implant in April 2015, and I thought this would help me through my periods as they were quite painful at times. I tried the pill, but since I'm already taking epilepsy medication, I didn't like the idea of taking another pill as well as them! In anyway, my periods are very irregular.. I mean, I could sometimes have spotting for a few days, or mistake it for a period because it's so light.. Then maybe, I could have two periods a month because of this! It's very annoying, as I don't even know when I'm going to have my next period, and I don't even get the symptoms i useta anymore.. It's such a pain!! Anyone have any thoughts on this?
View 1 RepliesI'm living in a country where it's hard to get the contraceptive pill (Japan). I brought some with me but have almost run out, which doesn't really bother me as I am not sexually active and don't plan to be any time soon. In a few months I will go on a vacation and I really don't want to have my period while on vacation. If I save the remaining pills (seven), would it be okay to take these before the vacation to ensure I won't get my period? Is it safe to take the pill for only 7 days as a once-off, and if so is there a specific time before the vacation I should take them?
View 1 RepliesI've been on Cerazette (mini - pill) for 2 years and since I started my periods stopped which was great and what my doctor told me would probably happen. However 3 months ago my periods have seem to have come back the same time each month as if I'm not on the pill anymore. The only thing that I can think of that's caused this is that i've change the time i'm taking my pill from about 9am to 6pm could this be why? I thought after my first period I might just need to settle back but maybe not!
Just wondered if anyone can help me is this normal? I've read that irregular bleeding can occur but this seems to be pretty regularly, it's really annoying!
I'm thinking of changing to the implant will this be a better option? or as it's the same kind of hormone will my periods still carry on?
Me and my bf had unprotected sex about 5 weeks ago i took the morning after pill 50+ hours after!! .. however i came on my period shortly after light at first then normal...

View 2 RepliesI recently missed one pill of birth control. I didn't double up the next day I just skipped that pill and went on to my second week of pills. My period was supposed to start today it usually starts right on time. Could it be late because I missed a pill?
View 1 RepliesIn March I started taking my birth control again after being off of it for two months. I was going on vacation in April and I didn't want to be on my period. So, I started my next birth control pack during the placebo week of April which started March 30th to avoid getting my period that week. I still ended up getting my period anyway. Well my placebo week for the second pack was the week of April 20th I never got my period and the week of April 27th was technically suppose to be the real week I got my period since my period never skipped with me taking my birth control pack back to back and it still hasn't shown. Is it possible it hasn't shown because of me taking my birth control packs back to back has thrown it off?
As of now I am still taking my birth control like normal. I started my third pack the week of April 27th.
Also, I am not pregnant because even with me still being on birth control I always use condoms. So, no worry about that.
I haven't had my period in 10 months, and today another period began.
What does this mean for a 57 year old going on 58 in March?

View 2 RepliesI've been on my period for about 7 months now. However I've been on my period once before for a entire year. I don't remember when I started or when it stopped, considering remembering things isn't on the top of my to do list. I'm 20 years old and since I started 7 months ago, I've only had one day without a period. Since then, it's been a constant heavy flow.
