Possibly.: The menstrual cycle needs time to get back on track when oral contraceptive pills are back on board after having been stopped. If you are trying to get pregnant, it may take 3-6 months to get your regular cycle back after stopping the pills. That being said, I've seen patients get pregnant the next cycle after stopping their pill. I advise taking a pregnancy test to make sure.

Stopped last pill pack of BC a week early. Waited Two weeks and started BC on reg start day. A week in and have very scant bleeding. Very tiny streak once a day for two days. Would this be from the interruption in Taking my pills ? No pregnant?
