Period Weirdness

Story time: I had been on birth control on/off for almost 11 years. Basically since I was a teenager cuz my emotional swings during PMS made me feel like I was losing my mind. I went off birth control about 2 weeks ago for a few reasons: we aim try to get pregnant next year and I was starting to have severe incontinence issues as a side effect of the BC. The incontinence 99% resolved after stopping the BC. But on the last 2 months on BC I had super light periods….just a little bleeding, random PMS symptoms - just whacky all in all. My job can get super stressful and I had taken a pill here and there late by accident so I wasn’t too worried…took a pregnancy test when things were really whacky just in case: it was negative. Now my period is late…not by a week yet….I think…since I suppose I can’t be sure if the spotting 32 days ago was an actual period cuz it was just unusual for me and I’m trying hard not to take a pregnancy test yet - I’m like: just wait and take it when/if I’m a week late. Although by the same token we wouldn’t be too upset if we got pregnant because the pill failed - it would just be a few months earlier than we had planned; would probably be that I was late on a couple pills that would have done it - that was not intentional: my job was just being so demanding I kept forgetting in the chaos.

Anyway, I’m just sharing my story: we all experience chaos sometimes and that’s ok. I know what needs to be done just thought I’d share my chaos for funsies…..and I totally have baby fever…LOL
