Please can someone relate? TTC #2 stopped bcp in June

[Missalisha001]

So I've been trying since the end of June when I came off BC. Month one I had my withdrawal bleed from the pill then A few weeks later I had my period (5 proper days although 4 days before I had spotting) which gave me a cycle length of 33 days. As a starting point I used this to estimate when my period would be at the end of August. Surely enough this month we didn't catch and my period came exactly as expected based on a 33 day cycle. However, my period started but never really got into the really heavy day o expect and it only lasted 3 days before it completely stopped. I've since (2 days later) had a couple of episodes of TMI*** large amounts of blood stained discharge literally falling out of me. When I'm on the toilet, I might add. It's not blood but stained with it. This accompanied with a sore throat and terrible back ache, I have put it down to a mix of being run down and my body getting back into having periods.
I took a test the day before my period was due and it was negative (obviously not surprising since AF arrived). Last night I took the other test from the pack out of curiosity but even though I needed a wee, I had some sort of stage fright and couldn't do a proper wee on it. Either way it had the control line to say it worked and was still bfn.
Has anyone else coming off the pill had this experience. I assumed seen as I was right on time I would find it easy to time and see where I am

Hi i am in the same position as you i come off the pill at the end of June and ive been all over place i had my withdrawal bleed and then my next period come right on time (well 1 day early) but they have only lasted 2 days then totally stop which isnt normal for me, i had a period started on the 3rd sept which lasted 2 days and then i had bloody on the 10th which totally wasn't expected but was only for that day, i have an app to follow my period and fertile days and i should be due a period again on 7th October.

I've been suffering really bad headaches since coming off the pill, didn't have any of this when i come off to have my first child.

when are you due your next period?

I experienced similar symptoms comming off the pill.. It actually really made me have odd cycles... It seemed I was right on track after my first period but they got stranger and strange.... I have now been diagnosed with PCOS which obviously doesnt help but comming off the pill can definetly lead to a few wonky cycles.
