Many women have an extened perieod of time before they have a regular cyle due to the extreme hormamone changes when stopping. Check with your gynecologist if it continues.

Response to nursehope's Post: i read today that brown breakthrough bleeding (which mine is) could be a symptom of an etopic pregnacy. is this possible?
