Going off Pill/Bleeding already!! - Birth Control Message Board

Stacey82 · 02-23-2005, 12:29 AM

Hello ladies...

I am just wondering if this is completely normal or not... but I just went off the pill last Thursday (Feb17) and I am bleeding already. The part that I'm concerned about is that 4 days before I stopped taking the pills for good, I had just ended my period for the month. Now it's only a week later and I'm having a full on period again! Is this normal? Should I be concerned about losing all this blood in only 2 weeks?

I assumed that because I just had a period about 10 days ago, my body would take at least another month to have a period again... Please let me know if this sounds ok?

I haven't had that problem, but my cycle is going to be wacky anyway. I started my pills again because I felt better on them.

I have been off for a week and a half, and took my new one today. With doctor's permission, I know my cycle will be crazy, but I think I need the estrogen.

Good luck!

It's normal, and you don't need to be concered about the blood loss. It's pretty insignificant.
