But there are no "normal" signs - bloating, breast tenderness, etc - I ALWAYS got that while on BCP. It's curious.

Sounds straight to me. Before you had artificially high levels of female hormones in your bod, but now that those levels have normalized the typical symptoms of impending menstration have become way less pronounced.

What you're noticing are some of the same things I noticed. Wonderful isnt it?

I went off BCP about 3.5 weeks ago, and according to all the signs (ovulation, etc I've been doing some charting to get to know my fertility) I should get my period at the end of next week. But there are no "normal" signs - bloating, breast tenderness, etc - I ALWAYS got that while on BCP. It's curious.

Holy Progesterone Batman! I spoke too soon! I am having SERIOUS period symptoms....my breasts have never been this tender. Ouchy.

I wish I could take some anti-progesterone pills!

ladies, haven't any of you considered an IUD? I LOVE mine, no hormones....God it's wonderful.

What IUD do you have and are you not worried about your future fertility?

LOL My tubes are tied so no worried here either...

Daisy just some suggestions...for fertility and to get your periods "normal" drink lots of Red Rasberry Leaf tea this stregthens your Uterus, and helps with cramping etc....also Fennel Tea will help with Fertility......

Also start taking your prenatal vitamin NOW....you need the folic acid in your body before you get pregnant!!!

Goodluck on your wedding and I hope your period isn't TOOO bad....

I just recently went off the pill too. I can't wait to have babies. I have been off of the pill this will be my 2nd month... I hope it doesnt take too too long.

Funny how some women don't get pregnant right away after talking the pill and some do. Daisy, I charted my cycle, temp and mucus for about 14 months and used it as birth control. It is a wonderful way to get pregnant too! Makes it alot faster if you know your cycles!
