So I stopped taking my because pills like three months ago and well I've been trying to have a baby I'm 19 yrs old. Umm... I'm always regular and well last month I got my pd. On the 1-3 this month I was late 7 days and finally got my pd. On Sunday the 6th the first day it was only a pantyliner second day two pads and third day not even one pad... I have been experiencing a lot of symptoms that made me think I was but then I got it so I don't know. I took 3 pregnancy tests and were negative can I still be pregnant? What should I do?:confused: help

The hormones that are in birth control pills can throw your period off track. After ceasing to take the pill, it could take 3-6 months for you to get pregnant. It looks like you are still in that window. That is the disadvantage to hormonal birth control, there is a bit of a wait period after you get off it until you become pregnant.

It looks like you may have to wait this one out. I know you said that you have been experiencing symptoms, but unfortunately pregnancy symptoms can be the symptoms of other things as well. You also have to take into consideration that it can take healthy couples up to a year to conceive.

If your period does not regulate itself 6 months post stopping the birth control, you may want to see a doctor for options to regulate your period. :)

You're welcome :)

Getting off birth control is a big transition for your body. The hormones that were once present aren't there anymore. Not to mention that there are other factors that can cause irregular periods, such as stress and diet.

Keep your head up, it will happen for you. Sometimes it just takes time. Good luck! :)
