Stopping birth control and what a day

TMI

The end of last week my boyfriend and I decided to not prevent a pregnancy and I quit taking my birth control Friday (last pill taken was Thursday night). Yesterday I was tired and just felt run down as well as spotting. At first I had thought that since my boyfriend and I had had sex that morning that maybe I wasn’t fully ready and it was just bleeding from irritation as I’ve had that happen in the past with exs. This morning it was light red maybe pinkish when I wiped so I put a liner in my underwear and went to work.... not an hour after I got to work I moved in my chair and it felt like I’d just gotten my period and it “gushed” everywhere. I made sure the person I was working with was alright and practically ran to the bathroom where I had bled through my liner and my underwear and got some on my jeans (thankfully dark jeans). I didn’t have the option to change or even go home so I sucked it up, very thankful I grabbed a tamp and dealt with it for the rest of my shift.

Let’s just say I called my doctor and asked if this is normal and she was thankfully very nice about it and reassured me that that’s completely normal and hopefully it’ll be over within the week and if not to call her again with an update and we can proceed from there.

Now I just have to break the news to my boyfriend as now I’m “out of the game” for the next week at least. 🤦🏼‍♀️ But at least after this, we’re starting fresh so to speak and maybe we’ll be lucky and have a baby sooner rather than later. 😁
