Came off pill TTC Whats Normal

[viperpt]

I came off the pill at the end off June at the very end of my pill packet.
I had my "fake" bleed then plenty of cramping.
Its only been 3 weeks since my fake period when I decided to do my usual bike riding and sit ups. At the very end I felt a leak and went to the toilet and I had bled all through my undies and pants. Now Im bleeding really heavy and I cant sleep. Waking up at 1-2-3-4 hot and sweaty and restless. Whats going on with my body? is this my real AF.. Can I get some input from some other ladies as to how you were coming off the pill..

I assume you have not been charting your BBT or anything since coming off the pill?

Im sorry I cant help much (or at all really except to show you that we are all so different!), I went off the BCP 4 months ago and after my 'fake/withdrawl bleed' I am yet to have a period... however just on Sat I started spotting... not heavy but every day... only just enough for a panty liner... no other symptoms, cramps etc... at the moment Im just as confused as you are! :confused: :p

As Nicole said, everyone's different, you should eventually revert to what your periods were like before the pill. I had a farily normal length cycle first month off the pill (30 days or something) followed by an AF which was lighter/shorter than the ones I had one the pill. Maybe something in this old thread might help you:

I went off the pill end of October last year, I had a "fake af" then "real af" 20 days after that. It was the worst af ever. It was so heavy and red and lasted for 6 days (on the pill I had 2 sort of heavy days, then 2 really light days). The cramps were excrutiating and I was having hot flushes, diarrhea and couldn't sleep. Every AF after that though has been normal, I think it's just something your body does when you finish the pill, especially after being on it for so long (10 years). I don't think the exercise you did would have bought on af, it's probably just your body getting used to working naturally again. I hope this helps, I'm sure your next cycle will be better, just give your body time to get it's groove back.

I went off the pill mid cycle at the end of March - got the 'fake' bleed 3 or 4 days later...then never got my period - found out a couple of months later (May) that I was PG. My periods before coming off the pill were very irregular - maybe once every 3 months??

Sounds like your period - however every woman is different with how their body reacts...

Try charting - its a great tool to determine where your cycle is at. I had no idea and because I hadnt had my period / temperature was on the increase - I was PG...

Good Luck - I hope you get the answer you are looking for:thumbsup:

I will repeat what all the other girls have said and say it is different for everyone. I came off the pill in January and didn't have af until 9 weeks later. Next cycle was 8 weeks, all the rest have been 7 week cycles with exception to my last cycle when I got my BFP. Hope everything sorts itself out for you :fingerscrossed:
