Icon5 AF is MIA after BCPs. When do U Start?

I'm feeling like AF is going to be here any second, yet it's the 3rd day off my BCPs and she's still not here. I'm debating on taking a test for giggles, but I don't really want to waste one.

My question is for you BCP-pros, after you took you last pill for the month (21st day), how many days til AF came? Last month I was on the same kind and I started on the second day. If you look at it that way, I'm only over one day...but it's kind of odd that she's not here yet.

If she's not here by Friday, should I POAS??? Pregnant while on BCPs??? Wouldn't that be a kicker.

<I wasn't going to post this thread, but I thought maybe it could make her appear!! Mind over Matter, right Amy?!>

I always started AF 3 days after I stopped taking the BCPs.

Thanks Deanna. Everytime I go to the RR I keep thinking she's coming, but nope, no such luck. I've got my meds waiting for me so I'm like "Cmon ALREADY!". Burning a hole in my proverbial pocket! LOL

I always started 3 days after, usually on Tuesday, so I see why you are wondering where she is on Wednesday. Oh and if you do find AF, send her my way for me okay. I thought she was here, but I must have scared her away. I POAS last night just for giggles on my $Tree and , no surprise there since I don't even know if I O'd LOL.

I always started 3 - 4 days after I stopped the last pill. If you have any concerns then I would definitely POAS with a $ store cheapie. You know how to get AF to come? POAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha HA!!! How many times have you POAS with a BFN and then a couple hours later AF starts! Ha HA!!!

Aint that the truth!!! Maybe I will do that bright & early if she doesn't show this evening. I was going to wait until Friday, but like you said, POAS will speed her along.

I was hurting bigtime last night. Whenever AF is enroute, my lower back starts killing me along with the cramps and that's what I had last night when I went to bed. Right now I don't have that pain, but I'm bloated, tender BBs, b$tchy <more than usual DH would say.haha>, and just feel plain BLEH.

Default Re: AF is MIA after BCPs. When do U Start?

Trinity, I actually went off BCPs in Feb of 07 and didn't get AF until the middle of April! So, it is possible that it is postponing those hormones for you. I never was right on BCPs and had to stop taking them anyway. Everybody's body reacts differently so maybe give it a week or two. OH...and I was a POAS addict then too and couldn't even tell you how many tests I used! So, use discretion, but know that AF could be on her way. I'll just hope for you that it's a BFP! =)

Thanks Kristie, Deanna and everyone else!! I just used the RR and nope, no AF. I think she's preparing for landing though, because I keep feeling these sharp, 'lightening strike' type cramps. We shall see! Yes Amy, as soon as she arrives, I will send her your way. That's odd that she bailed on you so quickly. Weird.
