Is this normal... Help please?

[.hopeful.one.]

Hi Ladies, this is my first time posting so I'm hoping that this is the correct way to do this...

I quit taking my BCP the beginning of Sept. Two days later I had a normal withdrawal bleed. The cycle after that was surprisingly regular, 25 day cycle with light spotting here and there and O on day 15. Last month was again 25 days with O on day 15 and light spotting day 15 & 16. Then we get to this month, I'm on day 18 with crazy temps all over the place, no sign of O and I've spotted CD 8,9,10,11,15,16,17, & 18! It hasn't been a ton, but enough that I've been using a panty liner.

Anybody had anything similar? Is it likely that this is still do to getting off the pill? I'm really at a loss and I'm starting to get frustrated.

Thanks!

It has been a while since I was on the pill. I stopped taking all birth control about 6 years ago, but I have heard there can be withdrawal bleeding and I do remember experiencing a month long period while on the pill. Whenever you add or subtract hormones from your body weird things can happen. I would recommend if you do not start your period or the spotting does not go away in the next couple of days that you maybe make an appointment with the doctor who prescribed the birth control. Maybe they can help you with that, but chances are it will correct itself once your hormones have regulated.

Thanks for the reply. I'm really hoping things will get normal soon. It's so frustrating since the first two cycles off we're fine but I guess that's where my luck ran out.

I was the opposite coming off BCP. I had a day of light spotting at first and then no AF for a long time and had crazy temps. It finally came and now I have 33 day cycles.

From what I've read and experienced, bodies tend to freak out when you suddenly stop hormones. I wouldn't worry about it and I hope they straighten out for you soon.

Well days 19, 20 & 21 are now added to the list of spotting days.... I'm hoping this has an end!

My body needs to get normal so my hubby and I can get back to trying.

I hear you!!! You can keep trying. It doesn't necessarily mean you're not O'ing. You just won't have a more exact idea of when you are.
