Hey! I took 4 pills of my 10 and I just got AF full blown as well. After 8 years I guess it's bound to just come on with a vengeance!

Wish I could be so lucky as to have it come quickly. Mine is just waiting for me. I just started the med 2 days ago though, so I have a little ways to wait. Thanks for the heads up though. I know to keep my Extra strength Tylenol close by because I haven't had AF since November!

Let's just say I'm on Day 8 right now, and I still have it coming....I've gone through 50 tampons...and not regular, but super plus (from OB which are really absorbent)...I know that's probably TMI, but just be aware LOL

It's better to know what's coming rather than have it sugar-coated. Thanks for being honest. I just have to look as it as a necessary evil to get to what I want. We'll see what happens. 4 days down 6 more pills to go!!

Hope you AF leaves you soon!

I had not heard that there was a possibility for birth defects. I would not think that would be right. It's really just progesterone, which your body does make if it has a natural cycle. I think you should be fine.

As for the 5 versus 10 days: I have seen a couple of posts from other cysters saying that they only had 5 pills to take as well. Maybe the doc its just trying to jump start your AF.
