Hi!
So I came off the mini pill towards the end of December, I also had a period at the same kind of time, before that I had one at the end of November but previously due to the pill I've not had a period for 2 years.

This month I got the cramping, tender breasts, etc last week as though I was coming on but no blood, stomach is still on & off with mild cramping, breasts still tender.

Would you test now or wait another week to see if a period arrives or I get any other symptoms, incase it's too early for a pregnancy to be detected?

With not getting a period until the last 2 months I'm not entirely sure on exact dates, but surely should have had a period by now if my last was around Xmas? Or is my body just all over the place due to coming off the pill?

I came off my pill for both of my pregnancies, the first one i tested around 3 to 4 week after i came off and got a very faint positive.
My second one, i came off my pill snd it had been 6 - 8 weeks and i still hadnt come on my period which is what i was expecting, nothing. I tested and again came up a faint positive.

Depending on when your last bleed was (if it was towards end of december) they usually say it can take some time for your periods to come back normally. Id give it another week or 2 to see if you come on, if not id start testing and possibly gettjng some routine bloods if your ttc

Thank you for replying!
I really can't remember the exact dates but I think it was just before Christmas, just before I stopped taking the pill.
The only thing that's made me question whether it could be a pregnancy already is the period symptoms without actually coming on...
I guess we will see!
