Skipped a period?
Hi all,
A strange thing happened this month. 2 months ago, I went off the pill- not because we're ttc, simply because my prescription ran out and I haven't gotten myself back into the office. So last month, I had a normal period. This month, however, it hasn't shown up, and I'm now 37 or 38 days into my cycle. (I do tend to have more like 31 day cycles, but still). I did have some mild cramping last week for several days, but no period. I've had 2 negative HPT's so looks like I'm not pregnant. Think I'm just screwed up from going off the pill? Thought I'd be ok if I was ok last month. Thanks for any thoughts. -- laurie mom to Jessica, 5.5 Christopher, 3.5 |

Thanks for any thoughts. it's very common for things to be irregular following time on hormonal birth control, after artificial hormones are controlling you cycle for a while, it kind of makes sense that it takes a bit of time to get back to normal.

That said, stress can play a part too! I just had a 41 day cycle for no apparent reason other than I've been working more than usual, and work has been extremely stressful. I had 2 negative pg tests, and was actually very disappointed when my period started. :-( Sharalyn mom to Alexander James (9/21/01) |
