Hi everyone, my husband and I have decided to start a family. I have been on Yasmin for the past 2 years and before that on (and off) a range of different pills. I came off the pill last month and my last period started on Feb. 3rd - I've never been that regular (even on the pill - it's always a day or 2 out)..anyway it still hasn't shown up & I haven't had any PMT symptons...so was wondering if that was normal in the 1st month etc.

Well, I am a little confused about your query. Do you want to know whether it is normal to (1)have a delayed period in the first month of going off the pill or (2) get pregnant within a month of going off the pill. I have never been on the pill or any contraceptive for that matter. So cannot comment on (1). In case it is the latter, then yes, it is very much possible. I know quite a few women who got pregnant in the very first month of being sexually active/going off the pill. Hope this helps and good luck!

Thanks - actually I was asking both questions. I cam off the pill around the 1st of Feb. My period arrived on the 3rd. I wasn't sure if it is possible to get pregnant in the 1st month - as my body might take a while to revert to normal or whether a delayed period in the 1st month is the norm.

both my friend and I were on Yasmin.
We both got pregnant very soon going off the pill.
And yes, it is common to not have a regular period right away after coming off ANY pill - it really depends on your body, everyone in different.
In the case of my friend - she was irregular and got pregnant and I was regular and got pregnant!
One doctor later told me this is common because there is a very fertile period when you come off the pill. But I have never heard this anywhere else.
The one things that is a bummer, is my complexion. Yasmin is sooo good at keeping skin clear, now with all the hormones from pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding my face is very spotty! But a minor sacrafice for a beautiful healthy baby!

Thanks cri.
Yasmin is a great pill - my skin, pmt etc. were great on it. Not to fussed about having spotty skin as result of coming off of it - good reason to treat a facil.
I did a preg. test - (just in case) last night and it's negative. On day 32 and no sign of my period - feel bloated and blah. Not a happy camper at all.
