Going off BCP - Birth Control Message Board

I went off birth control after being on it for 15 months. Is it normal to have your cycle thrown out of whack because of that? I'm only a few days late but things like this freak me out.

Yes going off the pill can throw your cycle off. But if you havent been using antoher form of protection you could very easily be pregant.

Thanks, Blastoff. I just figured that going off bcp would change things a little. I've been using another form of bc but I'm one of those people that worries too easily about everything!

If you don't want to be a parent, you must use at least two forms of BC at all times. One is not enough..Repeat..One is not enough.

Believe me, I always use 2 forms. I just had a bad reaction to the Ortho Evra. I had to go off it for a month and start up Orthotri-Cyclen after my next period, which is supposed to be this week.
