Question

Is this my first period post birth control or could it be implantation bleeding?

Hi all, this month I finally stopped taking birth control, loestrin 24, after 3.5 years on it. While on the pill, I never had a period. I stopped taking the pill March 3, and did not have any breakthrough bleeding/spotting/a period. On March 16, I woke up in the middle of the night with what my Dr. and I both believe was ovulation pain. My Dr. said I should expect my first period March 31, if I were to even get one at all the first month off the pill. However, the past few days (DPO 9, 10 and 11), I have been having very light (only when I wipe) brownish spotting, and today it stopped entirely. I have not had any cramps and do not feel like I am having a period. This is all happening a few days before my period is supposed to start. I took an HPT 2 days ago, and again tonight, both negative. I'm wondering if 1. anyone else has a similar "period history" after discontinuing loestrin, and 2. should I bother taking another test in a few days or was this my period? Thanks in adva

I would say it's just some breakthrough bleeding. Test only with first morning urine if you are going to test again because that's when the hormone is the strongest and easiest to pick up

Ok, so I got my first depo shot july 26 befofe thT my periods were regular(28 day cycles) after the shot I didnt have a period at all never got my second shot in oct but I did get constant abdominal pain tender breasts and overall crabbiness. Around mid feb my nipples became really sensitive,never felt thT before. So feb 26 I get my first period.it seemed slighgly heavier but nothing to trip about, bled for my normal 3 days with spotting on the 4th,also all pain in abdominal and bbs ceased. I'd been waiting on my af for months so I could start ttc. I figured ok theyre back ,tracked od which says the 12th of March, thing is, ive had weird pains since then,backaches headAches ovary pain bloating but no bb tenderness.. ive tested bfn over and over. 3days before expectsd af I had brown discharge when I wiped, that occurred til the 26th ,now I just have an abundance of white milky discharge. Havent tested since 14 dpo.
