Advice

So when i first went off the pill my cicles seem to be way out of control

First late...then early...some back and forth...

but they seem to calm down in the last few month..

Started to get AF on friday..light spotting
heavier yesterday
today...light to almost stopping

AF usually stay for about 5 days...

DO you think i should see a doc?

Or just start using an OPK

Re: Advice

i would call the dr and see what they say. how long are you off the pill for? your body could still be adjusting.

Re: Advice

I would suggest going to the doctor to put your mind at ease.

Re: Advice

some cycles are never perfect. Mine have always been ranging between 26 days to 31. I think that if they are under 31 days, even though they may not be exactly the same, its normal. Its only not normal if your cycle are above 31 days.

Re: Advice

This is what happened to me last month...I had AF for less than 36 hours. I think I am just adjusting though...
I would at least call the doctor and ask if they feel it is something you should be seen for. You have been off the pill for a while now. Good luck!

thanks everyone

Re: Advice

This happened to me last cycle- I have been off the pill since December- so I know what its like. I'm sure its nothing- but if you want to put your mind at ease, give your doctor a call!

thanks for listening girls

i think i am just and forever will be an overreactor

Re: Advice

this month, i only had it for like a day and a half (usually have it for 5 days start to finish- w/ the 2 middle daysbeing somewhat heavy). this month, there was barely Anything at all. so Eventhough i'm still on the pill, i took a test anyway just to be sure (especially hearing about some happy little accidents on here)

maybe it was the weather or something... but a few people that i have spoken to had at least a slight difference in their AF last month.

Re: Advice

maybe AF was smokin some crack this month?

Re: Advice

Hate to ask - but was the heavier - normal for you, like a regular AF?

Re: Advice

Are you thin? My doctor said the body can take a long time to adjust after coming off the pill and even longer if you are thin! When she told me this (after having an 80 day cycle) I started charting just to see for myself what was going on. It has really helped me understand my body.

Re: Advice

I would call your gyn and tell him or her what happened. Maybe they can shed some light.

Re: Advice

Did you take a pregnancy test?

Call the doctor but I think (s)he will say it's normal for coming off the pill. Even several months later. My doctor told me it could take up to 18 months for my body to adjust - I was on the pill forever!

Also - I would use an OPK. At least this way, you know when your ovulating - and don't have to guess - especially if your periods have been wacky.

Re: Advice

I've never taken the pill and my AF is very regular almost to the day. Every once and a while I have a bizarre very light AF where it will be just one heavy day and gone in like three. I asked my gyn at my last visit and he said this was normal and happens sometimes. Hope this helps

Re: Advice

When I got pregnant I was down to almost a 2 day period. I was concerned but the doctor said as long as I was still getting it (and not spotting in between AFs) then no worries and I got pregnant so I hope that helps you. I was the same as you 5 days, then 4 days, etc. and getting lighter and lighter - with no explanation why. I HTH!
