Hi kewlginko,
When you go off the pill your hormones are unbalanced. So irregular period is one of the side effects. Once you quit taking birth control pills you may ovulate within two to six weeks. But there is a possibility of you getting pregnant before having your first period.
There is another thing also. You have to keep in mind that even though you have a chance to get pregnant every ovulation cycle, it does not mean that you will quit taking the pill and get pregnant right away. It can take a healthy couple up to a year to get pregnant.

Hello, I took ortho trycyclin for 2 days. It made me very nauseous and gave me really bad headaches so I stopped taking the pill. About a week later I started spotting. It lasted 3 days. It was barely anything but I was very bloated and mild crapping. A week after that my boyfriend and I had just finished having intercourse and he noticed I was bleeding. It was more then last time and more red as if I was beginning my period. I didn't feel any cramping or anything and I am a week early. I'm not sure if it's my period or whats going on. I'm very nervous and scared. This was the first time I've took birth control. The only reason I started it was to help with conceiving because my boyfriend and I have been trying off and on for 1 year. If anyone could help me I would so much appreciate it. Thanks. :(

Ok so I have a story too lol. I was on the pill for 3 years, I stopped taking the pill in February of this year because me and my boyfriend are trying to have a baby. In March I had a very light period, April was the same, very light. I got my period 3 days ago, and the cramps have lasted 3 days now, I'm having mood swings like you wouldn't believe. I don't feel like myself. Even before I started taking the pill I never had bad PMS or cramping. I'm hoping it's jus my body adjusting to being off the pill but I'm not too sure. %-)

I was on the pill for three months and stopped taking it. Two weeks after i stopped, today is the end of the second week, I have been experiencing bad cramps and A LOT of very thick white/pinkish discharge. It comes out in a huge glob. I haven't had sex in a little over two weeks and my period is due in 8 days so I'm thinking its just my body's reaction to being off the pill. Anyone have any ideas to what this could be??

I too am in the same boat. I stopped taking the pill at the end of my last cycle (End of August), and had my usual bleed 2 days later which lasted 4 days (as usual). My husband and I had sex the day the bleeding stopped, but yesterday (8th Sept) I started having some brown discharge with some bloody spots in it.
Am I pregnant or is it just my body reacting to not being on the pill anymore? I've checked some other sites and am even more confused because I'm getting completely different answers.
Has anyone else had this happen to them?

hi there, i stopped taking the pill after only being on it for one month, i had a period as soon as i stopped, had light brown-red spotting two weeks later for 3 days, had a 6 day period two weeks after that, and then last week when i was due to ovulate, started bleeding instead and it lasted 6 days. we are trying to conceive and it will never happen if i keep bleeding. will this likely settle down?

I stopped taking the pill after I finished my last period. It has been a week since I stopped the pill, my husband and I had sex and I began bleeding again. We are trying have a baby but want a girl, how will I know when I'm ovulating with my periods all over the place now?

Hello ladies! I too am in the same boat here. I've been on the pill for 20 years and now coming off. My last period started 03/03/12 and according to my 28 day cycle it should have started again 04/06/12. We are now on 04/24/12 and I just started spotting browish blood. My lower has been in terrible pain for two weeks. I've been reading it could take up to a year to have normal periods. Any repsonse to this is much appreciated.

I have been on the pill for 6months. My 7 day break and started my period 3days later on the 21st of april , after this i continued onto my second pack for 3 or 4 days and then came off as me and my fiancé decided to start TTC , i have had unprotected sex everyday since coming of the pill and now I am getting lower back pains and mild cramps and am bleeding quite abit. Is this withdrawal blood from the pill and will this mess up our chances of conceiving. I am anxious to know , so if anyone could please let me know that would be lovely , thanks.

I have something similar happen to me but different circumstances. On May 21, 2012, I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend, where he let go inside of me, and two weeks later on Monday, June 4, 2012, I had spotting of pink and brown, I first thought it was implantation bleeding, because I usually don't get my periods until towards the end of the month.
I have stopped taking my birth control pills (Reclipsen) mid pack on Wednesday, June 20, 2012 because I started having weird symptoms, like early pregnancy symptoms, but I wasn't too sure. Then three days later, I had unprotected sex again with my boyfriend, meaning that he let go inside of me. But later on that night, I started bleeding bright red. I never bleed bright red the first day I get my period, so I didn't think it could be my period.
Could I be pregnant?! Or am I just over reacting?!
