I've been trying not to overthink this, but I feel I could use some advice, and the posters here have more knowledge than I.
I was on the pill for 18 months. Stopped because I couldn't handle the hormones anymore. My last day taking the pill was March 29th, and I had my usual period/withdrawal bleed starting April 2nd. On the pill-regimented schedule I was on, this AF "should" have started April 30th.
Before the pill I tended toward longer cycles, 30-35 days. Surely that's what I should expect now? I also noticed heavy mucous April 21st and 22nd, leading me to believe I ovulated then. Would I count two weeks from then, meaning I'm due for AF May 5th or 6th?
Am I right in that I'm not due for several days, or am I a couple days late already? Does anyone have experience coming off the pill, did your cycles go right back to how they were before the pill?
I'm on my third cup of coffee today.
Should I be avoiding caffeine and alcohol until AF shows up, just in case?
