I went off my birth control pill one month ago planning to get the depo shot this month my doc said wait till my 5th day of my period then he'll give me the shot.....My period should have started today but has not me and my husband used protection. could it be going off the pill messing it up?
I Started my period today, Yeah!
definitely- when I went off the pill and we were trying to get pregnant, my doctor explained that in theory your menstrual cycle should go immediately back to a regular pattern. In actuality, it takes a while for your body's natural hormones to be back-on-track and into a regular cycle.
Take a quick test to be sure, but most likely your body isn't on a cycle again!
Yes, it could take time for your period to start up again. I wouldn't worry about it if it's only a few days or a week late. If you used protection every time, then you are probably not pregnant, just late due to going off the pill. Good luck to you with the depo shot, I gained 40 pounds on it and went off of it and back on the pill. Weight gain is a common side effect, so be careful!
Definitely could be. Each time I've gone off the pill, it's taken a month for my cycle to regulate.
oh totally. I remember the first time I got off the pill I had my period and then another like a week later. I think my hormones were just trying to get in order. And when I'm on the pill I have 28 day cycles but when I'm not on the pill I have 34 day cycles. So yeah I bet your body is just regulating.
