Right, I am new to all this so sorry for my rantings. Me & my partner are in our 1st month TTC, we have just relocated across the country to a new town however, as we moved & couldn't find a new docs in July I had a 3 month break from BCP (micro 30) in which we were discussing TTC but were NTNP. in this break my cycle & AF went back to normal right away. We did have unprotected sex in these 3 months.
On 1st Oct (the 1st day of my natural AF) I began a new packet of BCP which enevitably made AF very light & short (only 2 days). I then took a month of micro 30 and we decided we did want to TTC afterall so I stopped taking it again on 14th Nov.
I had what I thought was a withdrawal bleed on 17th Nov but it was literally only about an hours worth of AF then it stopped (so more like spotting)...

Was this a true withdrawal AF? Or could it be possible that I got PG in the previous 3 months off BCP? I need help! I don't know why AF was only not even for a day! I am now dry and trying to document cycles & temps etc. Do you guys think I could be PG from my break off BCP?... Is it poss to get PG and still have a light AF?!

Jeeze all this is so confusing!

You could be but you'd be approx minimum 9/10 weeks preggers by now i would think (if you ovulated mid sept to have AF 1st Oct).....maybe you would have felt different or something if you were though...

Take a test and see or go to the docs...and take it from there (remember if you are aprrox 9 weeks preggers you might not have a control line but a very bright test line). If +ve then its happy days....if not then it seems your AF is screwed up from the stop/start on the BCPs. For this scenario i would use OPKs or buy a monitor to target your ovulation next time.

Sorry if i wasnt much help.

Oh..i forgot to mention that some people still get Af when pregnant but the majority of women dont though.
I didnt get AF in my pregnancy.

Hi thanks, yeah all the timing with Sept OV and very light AF on 1st Oct seems to fit with the time of NTNP so I think I'll do a test to be sure. I have never had a problem with mo AF When finishing BCP before and my natural cycle went immedaiately back to normal schedule after my 1st break from BCP...
It could be possible then? I don't know if I'm just getting ahead of myself in the excitement of TTC our first or if my cycle really is just messed up :-S

Only a test will tell I suppose, I have heard of a lot of people having bleeding whist PG though.

Do you think it best to wait before I do a HPT if the line will only be faint now? Sorry that may seem a silly question I'm new to all of this!

I think if you were 9-10 wks preggers then you would get a strong line, not a feint one. I would test asap as if you are pg then you would get a positive.

Good luck! x

I came off microgynon at the end of July and i so regret ever being on it! First month it took six\weeks for AF to return and i had really strong preg symptoms. Every month since i have had spotting, on and off AF and its been awful, not even knowing when or if i ovulated.

I'm late for AF at the moment and feeling hopeful but in the back of my head i know my body might be still messing around.

But do a test anyways as even if AF hasnt shown, you may have ovulated and spotting can be quite common in early pregnancy.

Hope you get yoour BFP soon! x

Hey, yup as I suspected Micro 30 has messed with my cycle - just got a BFN! (My first one)! I thought it was too good to be true in our first month TTC.
Its funny, in my previous break from BCP's all went back to normal right away... I hope it hasn't jinxed everything now :-S

Stay hopefully everyone! Good luck Angel_Dust! We will get our BFP's soon :-D xx
