Hi there.
I have come off BCP in Dec after being on it for 14 years and am experiencing all kinds of weird changes: irregular cycles, tons of acne, mid cycle bleeding, etc. I'm looking for some folks that are in my shoes to keep me sane!!! I feel almost 'broken' and it sucks - it's all so confusing!
A bit about my journey:
Had 3 normal cycles after coming off BCP (27d, 31d, 29d). Since on the second one AF was seemingly late, I tested and got a
Then, 19 days after that third cycle, I experienced severe cramps and two hours later the ugly arrived!!! ARG I was freaked out by a 19 day cycle so I saw my doc - he did a blood preg test and it came back negative; he did a pap just in case and it came back normal. Told me it was a part of coming off BCP and that I should just relax, have fun with my OH and come see him if nothing happens in 6 mos.
So now I'm in the middle of the next (5th) cycle, CD 21, and have no idea when to expect AF. I also experienced spotting CD14-17 and figured I'd get AF shortly after but it stopped and I got EWCM CD 19&20.
I'm utterly confused, totally frustrated and hoping I'm not alone. I'm 34 and want a lot of kids so I'm getting impatient too!
