Am I having normal symptoms...I just stopped the pill

[jenjg]

I have been on the pill for 7 years and stopped taking it on May 24th. I haven't had a period in 34 days. I started having brown spotting today and last week my nipples were extremely sore. Is it normal to have these symptoms when stopping the pill? Also, how long does it normally take to get your first cycle after stopping the pill? Thank you.

I have a friend that got married in October of 2002. They had a long engagement and they knew that they wanted to have children right away. So, she came off of the BCP in May and was pregnant in July. She now has a beautiful baby girl. So, she was pregnant for the wedding. I don't think that they wanted to have children THAT fast, but they are happy, so I guess it's possible seeing that they conceived in June. Good Luck! Shannon

After I stopped the pill, it took 33 days to get my first period.  After that, I had a short cycle of 20 days and now I'm getting pretty regular at 25 days.  Everything I've read said your body may take a few months to get regular after the pill.  As far as your symptoms go, who knows if it is normal.  I would take a pregnancy test for ease of mind.

Its different for everyone. I stopped the pill in Feb and got my period 3days later. My next period was two weeks late and was shorter than normal the first day heavy then the other two days very light. So when my next period was due I didnt think much of it when it didnt come. I am now 11wks 6days pregnant.
It can take time but be patient.

Good luck

I am in the same boat.  I stopped the pill in June and got my first real period July 10.  It was a 30 day cycle.  I still have not gotten my next period and I am going on 33 days.  But the problem is i had light spotting Thurs and today.  It is strange. Is that normal for being off the pill a couple months.  I also took a preg test but it was negative.

I stoped taking my birthcontrol back in october and had one period ...it was the one that I had after taking my last pill in my last pack of birth contol. Since then No period. I went to the doctor he gave me blood test and an ultrasound and he doesn't even know what is wrong with me. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this. I mean its almost been about four months and nothing. Its weird I actually have this feeling that I am never going to have it again and I am only 24 years old. very strange.help if you can.
