stopped taking sprintec
I decided to stop taking BC about a month ago. I also decided to stop having sex. My period was due last week but on from the 20th to the 25th my body was a mess. Exhausted, nauseous, cramping and weak some days. My period didn't really come on. There was some brown discharge and some blood when I urinated on the 25 th. So I wore a pad to sleep nothing and a tampon when I got up. Waited 3 hrs and nothing except a little brown residue on the tip. The last time I had sex was at least 6 weeks ago? What could be wrong. Because my health has been up and down I decided I didn't want to have sex anymore for fear of getting pregnant. I have adenomyosis which just annoys me at times. So now I'm wondering what could be wrong and if pregnancy is a factor?
Thank you for your post. I took a clear blue test and it said not pregnant. I have also started my period which has caused me a lot of pain. I have passed several blood clots. I have had pain in my right shoulder and thigh and the worst pelvic pain. I am going to wait for my period next month to see if I have the same symptoms. I was told last year during an ultrasound that I could possibly have adenomyosis and that my uterus was enlarged. So I try not to think the worse but not getting clear answers from my doctors makes me wonder what could really be going on with me.

Hello,
This could be due to implantation bleeding. Hence to confirm the status of pregnancy, I suggest you to test for pregnancy by a highly sensitive pregnancy test 10 days post ovulation with a sensitive ( 20 - 25 mIU ) pregnancy test. Also then I would suggest you to get your serum HCG levels estimated since this is more specific than urine for pregnancy tests.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing
