Well, I think I missed my last period, but I'm not sure. I have been off of BC for about 3 months now. My first period after going off(in January) was a little lighter and shorter (4-5 days) than normal, but nothing too strange. Then February 1st, when I was supposed to start my period, I only had what seemed like moderate spotting, but it was a dark brownish color, and it lasted maybe 3 days. I usually have cramping for a few days leading up to my period, but that time I had none. Before I went on BC my periods were very heavy and irregular (3-4 months apart), so I was wondering if the strange bleeding was due to my body adjusting to not being on BC or something? I took a HPT on the 10th, and it was negative. I have been experiencing a weird feeling in my lower abdomen...not really cramping, just like a strange pressure or something. I don't know what the heck is up...I'm just really confused. Help?!

*I would be happy if I was pregnant. I went off birth control for a reason...

The pressure you're feeling may be your uterus getting into position...that is, if you're pregnant. You could be. Since you're wanting it, I hope you are. Wait another week or so & test again. Good luck!

A lot of web sites say that if your periods were irregular before you went on the pill. Then they will be irregular when you stop. You may just be going back to your normal.
You could be pregnant and get a negative because it was to early to test. The spotting could also have been ovulation or implantation bleeding.
You can either wait another week and test again or go see the doc and get things checked out.

Well it could go either way. When I went off the pill my periods were messed up. My first one after going on BC was really light, my second one was 10 days late...took a HPT and was negative. The third month I never got my period after 10 days after it was expected I took another HPT and it was postive. I would suggest getting another test and seeing what happens.

If you didn't want any kids you should have taken some kind of precausion if you were going to have sex. Sometimes the first test does say negative but I think you should see a doctor to find out for sure either way. And if your not pregnant be careful the next time cuz you don't want a baby until its time use a condom.

No telling, when I first started taking the pill, I bled for 2 months straight, like that brownish stuff. If your test came back negative as of then, you shouldn't be pregnant.
