[|Human|] Hello. My husband had a vasectomy 10 years ago and I have been on birth control since, not for fear of pregnancy but because my periods would always start on time but last anywhere from 7-14 days. We never did a sperm count after the vasectomy and have had no reason to worry about an unwanted pregnancy. However, I stopped my birth control last month. I should have started my period 2 weeks ago but haven t. I had one very heavy brown bleeding when I used the rest room 2 days ago but have had no bleeding since that one instance. I am nauseated, having ocasional sharp pains in my lower left pelvic area. My fear is the slight possibility of being pregnant and having a possible ectopic ( my second pregnancy was ectopic). Any validity to my fears or is this normal after stopping birth control?
[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. After vasectomy, abstinence or avoidance of sexual intercourse is prescribed for at least 90 days. 10 years is a very long time. Birth control pills prevent pregnancy but can also be used to regularize periods. Stoppage of these pills can cause change in the periods as there is sudden hormonal changes. This can cause symptoms like nausea and abdominal pain. There is no chance of pregnancy. Thanks.
