I totally agree with you about the hormonal BCP - it is the bane of my existence. When we started TTC #1, I swore I would never go back. Turns out I have endometriosis, so hormonal BCP is going to be a part of my life until menopause. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-stopped-bcp-while-bfing-to-ttc#post-1213210 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 11:03:26 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 1213210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i was on bcp for almost 13 years straight and when i went off last fall i didn't get a period on my own. i have pcos tho, so that prob was also the cause. honestly will never go on it again </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-stopped-bcp-while-bfing-to-ttc#post-1212957 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 09:48:59 +0000 Adira 1212957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm curious about this too!</p> <p>I went off the mini pill 6 months PP in order to start NTNP, but I'm still waiting for AF to show up (now 8.5 months PP)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-stopped-bcp-while-bfing-to-ttc#post-1212952 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 09:47:24 +0000 septca 1212952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What was your cycle like off of the BCP? I stopped taking my progesterone-only BCP last week and have had crazy signs since then. I never had a withdrawal bleed, but a few bouts of very light spotting. I have had EWCM nearly every day, but all OPKs are - (which I would expect - it's only CD10 and - pre-baby - I usually O'ed at CD17 or 18). Is my body just riding the hormonal roller coaster?</p> <p>What was your first cycle like? Did it return to "normal" while you were still BFing? </p>
