I could use some help...
I have no idea what is going on with my body...here is what has been happening:
The first day of my last period was July 24. I did not start taking a new pack of BC, so this is my first cycle off the pill.
Two weeks later (well about 15 or 16 days) I had some light spotting. Just a bit when I wiped, lasted 2 or 3 days.
Two weeks later, assuming I had a regular 28 day cycle (which is hard to say since I am off the pill), no period. HPT negative.
By 10 days late for me period, I started spotting again. Also very light, just when I wipe, and very brown. Lasted two days. HPT negative.
Went to my dr. today, not helpful. Urine test there was negative. She has requested blood work but does not want me to do it for a week.
I have also had a few moments of nausea, two of which have resulted in my acutally vomitting. I did today, and then a couple days ago, so I know I don't have a bug or something or else it would persist. Rather, it just hits me, lasts a few minutes and then I am fine.
What is going on? Am I pg? Are my hormones out of whack becasue I went off the pill? When should I take a HPT again? If I am not pg, where is my period? This is so frustrating!
Anyone's thoughts, suggestions, advice or comments would be appreciated.

My cycles were strange like that when I got off the pill way back in the day. It may take a few to get it all back to normal.

I can't tell if your pregnant..
Your welcome.
This exactly! My first cycle off BCP was pretty long compared to the cycles that followed (see link in siggy). GL!

I've been off BCP since January and this month AF decided that I should also be graced with some wonderful nausea.
Welcome to the wonderful world of life weaning off hormones.
This. I would get and read "Taking Charge of Your Fertility".
what? twins?
Thanks for all the comments ladies... I guess after you spend 10 years taking measures not to get pregnant, when you want to, it seems like it should just happen!
where?
Many things can happen when coming off of the pill. Most likely that's all it is, but I know how frustrating it can be. I was taking a pg test every couple of days when I first came off the pill-(before reading TCOYF), I would suggest reading it, it will make you feel better!
What others have said about your body adjusting is correct. It could be so many things. But if you were pregnant and had symptoms, a pregnancy test would come up positive. Hopefully the bloodwork next week will give you some answers.
Also, just a suggestion, grab a copy of Taking Charge of Your Fertility. It's a great book and will help you with alot the questions that come up.
GL!!
Thank you IVF for our little miracles!!
Don't freak out, your body is just going back to normal after getting off of BCP... it could take a while... even up to a year! It is very frustrating, but keep in mind that it is normal and healthy...
GL!
Yes.
