Cycle problems
Started a birth control in march,
It caused a lot of side effects, tried to ride it out and adjust, but it came may 19th and I stopped after 12 pills.
May 1-9th I had light spotting, nothing when I went to the bathroom, only in between. Went to doc and gave me some pills to get it to stop.
May 13th white thick discharge threw the 16th
May 19th stopped birth control.
Night of may 25th light spotting red/brownish color lasted until morning of 28th. Morning of 28th turned into a dark brown pasty looking discharge, then nothing after that, probably could have used a panty liner the entire time with how light it was. Had slight cramping, thought period was going to start early
(due for af the 31st or 1st of June. It's always either a sat or sunday)
Today June 1st had little white discharge milky/clear.
Been feeling like period is coming all week on and off, but still nothing.
Took hpt Friday, negative.
Lots of headaches, usually I only get one the day after af comes, very tired.
Had a pregnancy 7 years ago, didn't have any symptoms the entire pregnancy. So I'm not
Sure if I am or not.
Intimate on may 8/9/10/11/13/18/20/25/28/29/30/31
No condoms, but he pulls out, which I know isn't the safest.

Hi blucky0526,

It really could be either pregnancy or an off cycle. Odds are greater that it is simply an off cycle as your body still adjusts to the change in hormones. Did you stop the pills at the end of a pack or part way through?

Give it some more time and see what happens when you would normally expect a period. If you stopped part way through the pack, that can throw it off even more. You could try a couple of pregnancy tests spaced out over the next few weeks if no period shows for June, or, if after you give it some time and no period shows, you could always see your doctor for a blood test.

It would be a good idea to check with your doctor anyway for other options for birth control. Sometimes a different pill will work better, with fewer side effects, and there are other options as well, such as an IUD without hormones associated with it.
