Pregnancy tests, ovulation and ovulation tests
3 months no period, but a positive ovulation test
Reyhan
Hi everyone,
I'm new to Brabbels and I'm really curious to hear your thoughts on my question.
I stopped the pill in July 2017 after using it for 2 years. In August, September, and October, I had my period (the same cycle as when I was on the pill: 6 days, on the same days).
After that, I didn't get my period for the following months. Just to be sure, I took a pregnancy test in November, which was negative. I was wondering today why my period hadn't come, so I took an ovulation test because I wanted to know if I was ovulating or not. Because generally, if ovulation occurs and there's no fertilization, I should get my period.
So I got a positive test... My questions are:
1. Is it normal for your period to be absent for so long after stopping the pill?
2. Does ovulation occur in the months when I didn't have my period?
3. Should I take a pregnancy test? I've been feeling sleepy, have heartburn, and shortness of breath in the past few days.

I’d definitely take another test, and yeah, it’s possible your period is late, but you’ve had 3 regular periods beforehand and then suddenly none? That’s pretty weird. Are you using morning urine for the test, and maybe an early detection one? So exciting! -

Do another test, sweetheart. With first morning urine. If it's positive after all, quickly make an appointment with your GP or midwife to get everything checked. Otherwise, it is indeed strange that there has been no period for three months after that stable cycle. Let me know when you have results.
