Are Late Periods, Cramping And Breast Tenderness After Effects Of Stopping Birth Control?

Hi! I stopped taking my birth control (Loestrin FE) around the 21st of August. I got my period on the 21st of September right on time, a little longer than usual but that's all. It is now November 1st and I have not received my next period. I have had cramping and breast tenderness, but that is all. I took several pregnancy tests as well as had an ultrasound -- all were negative. Is this a normal side effect from stopping the pill even though my first period off the pill came on time?

Hi.
I've gone through your query and I can understand your anxiety.

The most common side effects are includes,
Spotting inbetween periods
Breast swelling or tenderness
weight gain
Stomach upset
Nausea
Mood changes
headaches and migraine etc.

But these effects will disappear after 2 or 3 months of stopping the pills. Also your regular cycle falls on the due of your ovulation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
