Hello guys, I am new to this page and I’m having sort of the same problem. I’m now 16 days late which is rare and have done a clear blue digital 9 days ago which said negative. I did do it in the evening though and not first wee. I am not trying to have a baby just yet and so this is worrying me. However, I stopped taking my pill Easter weekend because i was turning into a monster with mood swings!!! & was getting constant headaches. Since stopping my pill Lucette I feel more normal. I’m using condoms but need to get back into some contraception soon as my boyfriend gets too nervous and does like to double up. But I still haven’t had a period I had a withdrawal bleed on the 9th May-13th May I didn’t count this as a period on my Flo tracker and am not sure if I should of? Should I be worrying I haven’t had my period? I don’t even know when I’m ovulating anymore as I’m so confusedconfused my boyfriend thinks my areola is bigger and there’s bumps too. I have also period like cramps but no period yet. I don’t understand what happens to your body after the pill really and have read so much stuff just need some advice really. I hope all youse trying for a baby are successful! Good luck to all xxxx

It can take a long time for periods to settle back down I wouldn’t worry too much

I can't answer your period question but thought you should know that putting 2 condoms on increases friction and actually increases the chance that they will break. You are much safer to use one!

Were you using your withdrawal bleeds to calculate your cycle using your flo tracker though? Because if so its operating on false data as your cycle was being artificially regulated.

Basically the pill fools your body into acting like your already pregnant and thus ceasing ovulation etc.

Do you know what your cycle length was without being on the pill?

And yes msu taken from first pee in morning is more accurate.

When I've come of pills in the past can take months to bleed. At least two months anyway...

I came off the pill (yasmin) in March. It took 7 weeks for my period to come and another 7 for the next one.
