Hi ladies

I really need your advice. Here's the deal: I stopped the pill at the beginning of May and had withdrawal bleeding for 6 days (from May 9th to May 15th). Nothing else special, it was just like always. Then on June 11th, I got my period for 5 days, which I hadn't expected so soon, considering it can sometimes take a while to get back into a rhythm after stopping the pill.

Now I noticed that on July 11th I had very light pink blood when wiping, and on July 12nd I had some red bleeding with some tissue (like little flakes? sorry, not very appetizing..). That was it though; I haven't seen any further bleeding or spotting when wiping.

I still haven't gotten my period and took a pregnancy test last Monday, which was negative. I have no pregnancy symptoms either, except that my period is missing.

So my question to you is: is this normal while coming off the pill, or would it be wise to see the doctor? I don't know what I should do!

    Hi there,

    I think it's best to go to the doctor for a blood test; that's probably more reliable than a regular test. Good luck, and I hope you're pregnant. Let us know how it goes?

    Love,

    Hi Bloempje,

    It could indeed still be from the postpartum period, especially since your pregnancy test was negative. Your body needs to find its natural cycle again, and that can vary from person to person.
    But you can always drop by the doctor for advice and, indeed, possibly get a blood test.

    Hope you get clarity soon!

    Greetings, Babbel
