Stopped Levlen 6 wks ago n no period yet

cutie · June 7th, 2008, 06:02 PM

I stopped Levlen after 10 days of active pills. Now it has been almost 6 weeks. I had a withdrawal bleed few days after i stopped but no period since.

1) When will i ovulate again? Maybe it hasnt happened so I didnt get my period.

2) When I started the Pill, I didnt use other protection. Is it possible I conceived? But i was told since I had the withdrawal bleed then no.

I stopped the pill after the man I was dating broke up with me.

Hi Cutie,

Sorry to hear you're having trouble with your cycle after taking Levlen. Do you mean you only took the active pill for 10 days and then stopped it early?

I took Levlen for 9-10 years with only a few breaks and didn't have any trouble (don't know for sure I am ovulating though) when I came off it. Everyone is different though and it might have just thrown your cycle out a bit.

The only way to know if you are pg would be to take a home preg test or see your GP. I'm not sure about the withdrawal bleed meaning for sure you are not pg as bleeds and spotting can occur after falling pg, especially around the time that AF would have been due.

No one can say when you will ovulate again which is really frustrating. It might be a good idea for you to go back to your GP to discuss what's happening.

Good luck. I really hope AF returns for you soon!

Tks. I'll give it another 2 wks n that would make it 8 wks. Then i go get it checked out. I heard many ppl get their periods around 30 days after stopping. Else a number have fallen pg within a mth.

funny you should say that as my first cycle off Levlen was 30 days and all the rest since then have been shorter by 1-3 days.

30 days to AF? Thats what I thought so i m not following average. My cycle was quite regular prior to the pill.

Forgot to mention in the last wk, there were 2 days i felt so sleepy during the arvo while out. Yday I came home immed cos I was worried about driving home. Then I went to bed for a nap. No sore boobs. But bloating and gassy. No nausea.
