How Likely......

How likely do you guys think it is that I am Prego? I stopped BC and had my period 7/18-7/20 which was the last period while on BC. I had a normal period in August, and then in September I missed my period and was 3 weeks late and had a period on October 10,11,and 12th. I have not had my November period yet, and its the 20th. With my October period I had really bad cramps which I have never had before during a period. I am just wondering if the irregular period is due to my body becoming used to being off BC or that I may have lost a pregnancy that early, even though I had no irregular clotting or anything besides the bad cramps? Do you think I could be prego right now or maybe just irregular periods? I am just not wanting to get my hopes up!!!

Oh also I was off BC for almost a year back in 2006 and had my period every 2 months back then, and then when I was on BC of course it is every month. Any opinions would be great. Thanks

Well I think I may have some implantation/spotting going on. Last night I started bleeding some and it has not been as heavy as a normal period for me. Hubby and I had sex Friday and Saturday so I was wondering if it could be implantation already? I dont want to get my hopes up though so I will see how the rest of today goes but earlier when I went to the bathroom it was lighter pink on the toilet paper so Im thinking? I usually have my period for about 3-4 days. We will see. Wish us luck. :)

I am trying to remember how long it was every 2 months when I was off BC for about a year? Lol cant remember for sure? But I think it was only for a few months because both my husband and I (just dating then) had a scare of OMG we are prego. lol. I cant remember for sure.

I have thought of going to the dr, just to make sure that everything is right with us. :) But I was just thinking that it could just be my body going back to normal. We will see and if I am prego, well then that would be all the better! If im not prego I guess it wouldnt hurt to get the drs opinion.

Thanks for the input!!

It sounds like your body is still adjusting to being off of birth control.  It also sounds like you may not be ovulating regularly which can cause delayed and missed periods. I would have a chat with your doctor about checking out some hormone levels to see what is going on.
Best of Luck!
