I came off my patch on Dec 14th. AF(period) was due Friday the 13th, but came Thursday the 12th, and ever since Friday night I have been browning (sorry tmi), and today it's totally gone. Should I worry? In the past when I came off BC my AF would be heavy and long. What should I do? TIA

If you are worried you could mention it to your doctor. If you've been careful and used protection since you came off your patch, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Sometimes your first period after coming off any form of birth control is unusual. I'll bet you find that your next one will be normal again! But of course, if in doubt, ask your doctor! :)

Pennell right, so if in the event you are still concerned talk with your doctor

I am Trying to Conceive. I went to the Dr. on Monday due to bloating and feeling nausea. The clinic is always very busy, and it's hard to get an appt. (we are military)I am in the process of moving. I am not stressed so I know that it's not that.
Do u think that I should test, and when is a good time to do that?
Thanks for all you your replies!

I am not a doctor, but I do know that when you come off birth control your period is (Hay Wacky) I would give it until next month and see what comes, I think it is too soon to test, but again I am not a doctor.

Thank you for all of your replies :)
