Spotting!

Hi Everyone,

  My husband and I just started the process of trying to have a baby.  Therefore, I went off my birth control on August the 10th and had two periods in a month due to that.  A couple of days ago I started spotting (which would be a couple of days after ovulation).  I am just wondering if anyone else had this same type of experience?  and if so, did you still get pregnant when spotting did occur?

I am feeling like it might be my body balancing back out by going off birth control.  I had been on it for about 8 years straight before this so not sure if that might have something to do with it.  Any advice would be appreciated. 

Tanya

    My OB had said, when we mentioned trying for a baby, that it usually takes 3-4 cycles to go through "as normal" before your uterus is ready for pregnancy. Of course, every woman is different, but usually you don't have implantation until about 6-7 days after ovulation... So if it has been that long, maybe try a pregnancy test in 2 1/2 weeks or so. (Of course, if your period doesn't come again by then.)

    I think I agree with you, though, that it is just your body balancing itself back out.

    Good luck!

    You can have implantation spotting about a week after ovulation.  It could be that.  It could also be your body adjusting to being off the pill.  I would take a test in about 10-15 days if your period doesn't show up by then.  Good luck!

    It took my body about 6 months to get back to normal after going off BC.

    That said... I did have spotting which I thought was my period coming for 2 days and got my BFP that cycle.

    I had implantation spotting that I thought was the beginning of my period before I found out I was pregnant.  When my period didn't ever come and the spotting stopped, I took a pregnancy test (prob 7-10 days later).

    Edit: This was ~6 months after I had stopped taking BC, but we weren't "really" trying to get pregnant.
