What do you think?

Question

I am recently off the pill and have not had a normal period yet, but am trying to get pregnant. I have experienced light spotting intermitenly for a few days, then it stopped. It is light pink or brown in color. Do you think this is implantation bleeding or my body just getting back on track from being on the pill for so long? Any advice would be appreciated.

Answer 1

This is my standard answer......... go get a book called Taking Charge of your fertility by Toni Weschler
This book will help you with all of your menstrual and conception questions. It’s for all women - not just women trying to conceive. It covers everything from temperature to mucus checking, etc.. It will help you understand your body and all the myths about it. It will help you time when you are ovulating and the best times to conceive – or not! It tells you how to figure out your cycle and what to expect. My husband and I tried for a year to conceive and nothing happened. The first month I used the book we conceived right away. Now I am due Feb 2. It's about knowing your body and knowing when you are fertile or not. You can pick and choose what you do with your info. Good luck and don't listen the all the myths!

Answer 2

It really could be either, it is hard to say. The brown blood makes me think it is more implantation bleeding, but I could be wrong. I would definitely take a test!!! When I got off of the pill the first time and was trying to get pregnant I did right away. My doctor told me it happens a lot when women stop the pill! Good luck!

Answer 3

I think this is your body trying to readjust after coming off birth control - it'll take several months, longer if you've been on it for many years.

Answer 4

It could be either, but it sounds like your body is just getting back to normal.
