Let me tell you about that!
I had always missed days of BC; I'd skip a day here or there, or sometimes multiple days in a row...and each time I'd end up spotting until I took another pill. This past month, I'd missed numerous and consecutive days of pills, but I didn't spot...instead I started a period a week early. I was sure that meant that I'd be bleeding for a long time, but decided to wait it out and see what would happen. It stopped after 5 days and was a completely normal period! Again, I decided to see what would happen if I continued not taking BC. Today is CD 17, and I haven't had any spotting or bleeding since my period ended!
I talked to my husband and we decided that I would just stop BC and see if this cycle I have another normal period. I think that I'm on the right track to getting my body and system back to the way it's supposed to be working. The reason why I think this is finally happening is because for almost the past month and a half, I've been doing the 21 Day Fix by Beachbody, and in my first round I lost 9.7 pounds and 15.5 inches (my second round ends on Monday). I have been working out [almost] daily, and have been making much better eating choices!
I still don't think I'm ovulating...and just because I'm off BC doesn't mean we are technically trying to get pregnant. If it happens, cool; we'd be ecstatic...but if it doesn't then that's okay for now too. It's in God's hands.
I honestly think, that if I continue this 21 Day Fix program, eating healthily and working out daily, and continuing to lose weight and inches, then I will start ovulating again soon!
