Question

how soon will i get my period after i get off birth control???

Basically i was only on birth control for a month, but i had to quit due to horrible side effects. I was on it from January 12, 2015-March 8th, 2015. My period is due today on 3/3/15; but has not shown up yet, should i be worried or just wait it out and see how it goes? I dont have any feeling or signs that my period is coming. The only real thing im dealing with is very sensitive breasts. I did have unprotected sex a few days after i got off the pill. So im not certain if pregnancy would be an answer. Has anyone else been off the pill and had to wait a long time til their period came? Or did anyone end up getting pregnant right away after getting off the pill? Any answers would be amazing!

I think it is different for everyone. The first time I got off birth control after 15 years I was 1 week late for my period, then went right back to clockwork cycles. The 2nd time I got off I had only been on it about 4 months that time and I was only 1 day later than normal starting my period... and I ovulated right on time the next cycle... but they say normally you should receive your period within 4-6 weeks after you stop. It is also possible that you could be pregnant if you have been having unprotected sex after stopping. You could test once or twice a week until you either get a positive or get your period if you are concerned about it. Good luck!

I got my period like clockwork after coming off the pill after being on it a year. It is possible you may have conceived, and you could probably test any time now and get an accurate result, especially if you use an early result test. Best of luck to you!

We're both hoping that we finally conceived, it would be amazing if I was pregnant! I'm going to wait a few more days and if I don't get a period I'll test. Let's hope! Fingers crossed!

UPDATE: I'm having extremely light spotting as of tonight. Like literally a few tiny drops on the toilet paper as I wipe. Looks pink to a light orange color.
