I stopped taking my pill half way through a packet as decided to ttc. 4 days later I had a bleed which looked like a normal period. Going by this I should have had my AF on Monday 22/10 but so far nothing. I really thought I could be pregnant as I had some brown spotting 2 weeks ago, which I've only ever had before when pregnant, I'm extremely bloated, boobs are sore - I don't normally have these symptoms when AF due. Unfortunately all test are saying negative. Do you think it's because i've stopped my pill that things have gone haywire?

Yes - I think it's normal to have some weird cycles when you come off the pill. I had 2 or 3 quite long ones before it settled down and I think stopping half-way through a packet makes it more likely for your cycle to get out of sync.

It's also possible that you ovulated later and it's too early to test, so you could test again in a few days if you still feel pregnant then and there's still no sign of AF.

Hi

I'm pretty sure stopping the pill mid way through a pack can make you get off spotting. My cycles after the pill were 32 days then 25 days then on CD30 a BFP (although waiting for another scan next week to see if it's actually happening). On my first month I was convinced I was pregnant as I had EVERY single symptom I had with ds (and I means lots of them) which turned out to be my body playing tricks on me!!

I'd say TRY to relax as much as possible and hopefully TEW (the evil witch ) will turn up soon. I'd recommend making notes of your cycles etc - I've had the Dr's saying all sorts of things about due dates and stuff but thank god I knew exactly when my period was so could confirm!
