Pills and late periods

[nightkd]

Sorry to keep going on...and on....and on....but..

Anyone on Cerazette, or any other POP, when you came off, how long did it take for your period to arrive?

Last time I came off it my period came dead on 28 days. I've been on it a couple of months longer than last time but I'm now about 6 days late.

I took a test the day I was due a period and neg. I have no symptoms as far as I can..feel..No sore boobs, perhaps peeing a bit more often, but that happens when my period's due anyway.

I've had very mild cramps, but only a couple of times and they barely lasted a minute. Last time I had TERRIBLE cramps a couple of days before I was due and up until almost the end of my period.

So wondering anyone's experience with pills and coming off of them. I have a Drs appointment on wednesday for something else..

Hello!
I might be able to help you! I was on cerazette for about a year and I decided to come off begining of June this year as i split from boyfriend and didnt think we would be getting back together well anywaysss I didnt have a 'period' untill the end of the month, I dont think the first time you have a bleed after coming off the pill is actually a period,as far as I know its like a withdrawel bleed and your body getting back on track. I then had a proper period in July and fell pregnant in August, So fingers crossed your body will get back into a normal cycle and your ovulating will return to normal.
I would say with you being 6 days late then its probably just ur body getting back on track but if ur anything like me then you'll have a little one on the way in no time!
Good luck hun

Yeah, I had what seemed to be a withdrawal bleed last time with some horrid pains.. It's been 34 days since I came off the pill, and last time I'm SURE it came on the 28th day!

Seems strange to me, because my period pains usually come about 2 days before my period is due, aswell as withdrawal bleeds.. I haven't had any period pains for the past couple of days, and I don't feel 'heavy' like I usually do just before af.

I suppose perhaps it's effected by what point in your cycle you stop taking the pill. Wish I'd made a point of noting that last time.

Thanks

P.S Your LO is due on my birthday!

Ahh ritee, well maybe thats a good sign if you havent had any bleeding yet ! You could of been lucky enough to get pregnant since you came off it.
Just look out in the next week or so to see if your getting any sort of bleeding cos even if it lasts a day it could be withdrawrel and then you can get going on the ol' baby making !
Pleasure hun. Let us know how it goes, will have my fingers crossed for you!
Aww really! Birthday buddie!Its a day after my Bf's bday,what a nice prezzie that would be lol!
Take Care

Hey hun, yeah I was on cerazette due to family health and when I came off it it took about 2 months for my period to come, they still aren't regular but I'm on the implant now. xx

if it helps any i got off my pill about a month ago and my periods a week late so i would defiantly not worry too much

 

[elly460]

I'm kind of in the same boat. I came off two months ago, and got my first period pretty much on time, and this is the second month, and now its a week late, but i tested on the day it was due and got a neg. But i've been getting light cramps for a few days now. Which is weird because I usually only got cramps the day of AF. So, i'm sure it could be our bodies just getting all in order, but who knows? Actually what i just wrote is pretty much dead on with your experience, so it's probably normal

Lol! That is pretty much what's going on over here! Still no period. I thought I'd do a test again yesterday seen as that would be my seventh late day, and I really thought it was positive. Left it and came back and there was a second line. Almost 100% sure it's an evap or just a mark from where the stuff is that makes the line if you are pregnant.

I did get all excited though, and a sudden rush of maternal-ness came over me!

Meh, I'll have to just see what my Dr thinks when I see him. Had mild period pains for a moment yesterday.

Ask the doc when you go. Fingers crossed for you, though it could also be due to pills xx

Will do. Thanks I'm kinda hoping it's not. I saw that line on my test a couple of days ago and felt excited, no fear at all. I'm sure that would've come if it had been a proper line rather than just a colourless mark, but now I'm hoping, but doubting.

We'll see.

Mnyah. Here's the latest;

Went to Dr, he didn't really give a boll about my late period, just said do another test.

Did another test, neg with that really faint line (it must just be these tests) and now I'm having slightly worse period pains, lasting slightly longer.

So, disappointed, but on the plus side my BF had said we can start TTC next Christmas! Yay! Hopefully we'll be well sorted by then, housewise and jobwise, so I'm excited, but now going to get impatient! Eeeek!

 

[pennysbored]

I had been on the pill for about 4 years when I quit them. I had one come right on time, and then for 3 months, nothing. Scary, must have taken about 15 pregnancy tests, but it was just the backlash from the pill.
That was me, anyway.

 

[nightkd]

I'm having horrible period pains now, but still no period. They don't feel so much like normal period pains either, I just want to get back to normal!!!!

I really want to stay off the pill until we start TTC (obv won't need it then either) but it means using condoms and they're soo expensive and it so doesn't feel as good. -Sigh-

I'm going to try my best, but I can't help thinking I'm gonna give up and go back on them. Especially as they stop my periods, which usually drag on for about a week or more.

OH agrees that I'm a completely different person off them, and I feel much happier. Excited about my period?! Weird, it's just the excessive periods.

 

[nightkd]

They're not even proper periods either!!! The first couple of days, yes. The last days it's just enough for me to have to wear a panty liner and stop me having S-E-X, it's nothing!!!! AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!

 

[elly460]

Well, I think I'm on day nine now, of being late. But still getting horrible cramps on and off.. I don't think I'm pregnant though. Because I don't think I'd be getting cramps if i was. But who knows... Are you still late?

Oh and, does anyone know, does this mean I'm not ovulating, until my period does come? (well the 12 days after or whatever it is)...?? hmm

I'm on day 11!!!!!! I had the worst cramps last night, but they're very low and quite sharp, not like the dull ache I usually get. I don't think I'm pregnant because I've taken loads of tests, I don't feel pregnant, and if it was in the past month it would be pretty improbable (but we have been warned about those naught pre-ejaculates! )

I just wish the would bloody arrive already (absolutely no pun intended ) I thought after yesterdays cramps she'd be here by this morning!

 

[elly460]

Day ten and came! But I'm glad because now I know, and can get on with the next cycle!

Congrats?

I've still got no sight of mine. Bad pains, v low and sharp, but no

I wish it'd come or I'd get a I hate being stuck in the middle, it's like what's going on?!!!!

Is it bad that I've started becoming more aware of my body? Eg which muscles I'm using for what, the way stuff is working inside me etc..

Grrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Oh, P.S for my intended charting once AF does come, is it better to get a digi thermometer which you use orally or in your ear? I only seem to be able to find oral ones atm.

[elly460]

I'm not really sure. I don't chart and all that stuff... Are you guys TTC?

 

[nightkd]

Not yet, just thought it would be interesting to chart.
