-----Question-----
Me and my husband have recently decided to try to have a baby. So I stoped taking my birth control a week before my last period. My last period was Jan. 23, 2007 and lasted until Jan. 27, 2007. I have started spottint today. No major cramping or any other PMS symptoms. Could it be from the birth control?
-----Answer-----
Read some of my previous posts on getting off the pill.
It takes your body time to get back to normal and it can take some time, as long as a year is within normal limits, before you become pregnant.

There is not much more that can be said. You stopped birth control and your body is now trying to resume its normal cycles. Any doctor will tell you to wait and see what happens. What difference does it make if it is from the pill or your own body trying to return to normal?

Answer
I am not mad. You have to understand that there are really no answers to these kinds of questions. You were taking a drug that affected your body and you stopped. Your body is getting used to being without the drug. That is the important thing. If you want to know more about cycles and fertility check with your local natural family planning teacher. check http://www.irh.org/
