Side effects after leaving Trigestrel
Hi, Before using Trigestrel I used to have a 31 day cycle I only used it for a month, I stopped using Trigestrel in February. Last month I had a 26 day cycle (got my period the 7th March) and my period lasted 2 days. I had ovulation spotting on the 20th March but up until today the 10th April I still have no period even though I had all the pms signs, I even had the cramps. I did a pregnancy test and it showed negative. Is this a side effect of leaving Trigestrel?

Talk to the doctor that is the best way to find out if it is something to be worried about or not. Also if it is then you will be able to catch the problem before it gets bad.

I think its possible but I would check WebMD to see the side affects.

From personal experience, other factors such as traumatic stress can drastically affect you, possibly delaying or skipping your period.
One pregnancy test cannot be the final say either. They are not 100% correct.
Upon looking up this contraceptive in my drug book, it looks very confusing with certain number of different pills to take for different days.
I am a nursing student and do not specialize in this. I even asked my friend who is a physician and she is not sure herself. Please seek a gyentologist immediately and get an ultrasound to be certain! If you are safe, please discuss with your physician about starting on a more simpler birth control.

second response: Lucky I caught this question in c omments before 24 hrs or I wouldnt have been able to answer. 2 or 3rd questions need to be posted from our individual columns just for future knowledge, not in comment rating section.
Your question "So you're telling me, I can ovulate and still not get a period?"
In a healthy woman, ovulating and periods go hand in hand. The way hormones work is to tell your body it's already pregnant so it doesnt need to release an egg. A released egg is ovulation.
Without an egg released, there's no chance to fertilize an egg and for it to implant and thereby becoming pregnant. Soyocl heres the explanation of why you can have messed up cycles for a while. Remaining hormones in your body are still instructing your body that it is pregnant so most likely its not releasing an egg. Once the hormones are out of your system, the body remains confused for a while. It had man made chemicals telling it what to do and got so used to it, that basically, it's forgotten how to do it on its own, as a Dr. explained to a friend of mine, just dont worry, give it time and the body will remember what to do and go back to remembering and running its own natural cycle.
Your two days of bleeding were probably not a real period. This kind of break through bleeding occurs when coming off the pill or missing taking it a couple times while actively using it. I am going to add a couple links to sites that address ovulation questions and one on whether you can ovulate without a period. If by the end of the month you haven't had a period, it's best to go get checked out by your Dr. to make sure you are ok and that there isn't some other underlying medical reason preventing your cycle that needs to be addressed. Plus, seeing the Dr. will bring you peace of mind to know theres nothing wrong.
Even if you're not trying to get pregnant, most links on the net explaining ovulation are connected to sites on pregnancy.

Any brand of birth control pill will have this as a common side after after discontinueing use. Your cycles can be messed up and not become regular again for months, all because of the hormones your body got used to.
If you came off the pill because you want to become pregnant, you're going to have to give your body some time to adjust.
If you came off the pill because of side effects while taking it, you will need to find other contraception that is trustworthy and won't cause side effects because there is no hormones involved. If this is the case, see if you can be fitted with an IUD, intra uterine device. there are 2 kinds now, the more recent Mirena that has hormones added. But the original Paragard is a copper IUD, and it has effect of causing the lining of the uterus to be inhospitable and if the fertilized egg can not implant into the lining, you do not become pregnant and the fertilized egg will flush out of your system.
If you experience any symptoms out of the ordinary like severe cramping or heavy bleeding, call and see your doctor as those wouldnt be normal. It doesnt hurt to call your Dr. and schedule an appointment for exam to make sure everything is fine if you're trying to conceive, especially if your Dr is unaware that you've stopped taking the pill and are trying.
