I would call your doctor becasue that what pill I was on think might been Lo but not sure when I got pregnant with my now almost three year old son. I was on it for three months when I found out.

did your doctor not tell you that it takes about 2 months for the pill to be at it's most effective? that's what mine told me. she also told me to make sure for the first 2 months on the pill to use a 2nd contraceptive b/c of the above reason. you could be pregnant or like kellya74 said your body just may need time to adjust. I would take a HPT and if it is negative and you are not trying to get pregnant, use a 2nd contraceptive as well as your bc pill, at least for another month.

Not sure....your body may be readjusting after stopping the pills...I'm confused though....you only took them for one month and quit? Or when you say that you are done, do you mean that you started sugar pills?  Or you're not taking them anymore b/c you don't like them?  Wait another week or so and try a HPT......It sounds as though you do not want to become pregnant...hence the reason you started the pill in the 1st place....If that is the case and you quit taking them all together...you really need to use another form of protection (condoms, a different pill, etc).....
