Spinoff to my first AF off the pill question

When you went off BCP, how long was your first period?

Was it different from AF on the pill?

I've had AF since last Monday Chat Icon I'm ready to kill......

BTW: my AF was usually 5 days

Was it different from AF on the pill? yes, heavier and more cramping

your body need time to adjust getting off the pill. For me i was on for 6 years, came off of the pill and was off amybe a day or too and it lasted 5 days-7.

My AF while on the pill (for 10 years) was heavy the first 2 or so days, then light for like 3 or 4 more...so, I had to use feminine products for 6 days. Chat Icon

Now, in my 3rd month off BCP, my periods are a breeze (watch me jinx myselfChat Icon ) They have been super light, and last only like 3 or 4 days. No heavy days at all.

It's tough trying to figure our bodies out-- good luck!Chat Icon

I had 1-2 heavy days max, followed by 2 days of spotting. It's heaven compared to what it used to be!

Yup, it's true. My periods were never SUPER heavy, but the heaviest days were the 1st and 2nd really, and it just lingered for 3 or so more days. And now, it's so super light and short (although I'm not used to such a short cycle so I always wear the products longer Chat Icon ) Like I said, I've only had 2 periods since being off BCP, so it could all change, unfortunately!!
