What is being shedded during break through bleeding?
I had a paraguard IUD for almost 1 year but removed it 10/10/11 due to super horrible cramps and heavy bleeding which made my anemia worse. My husband and I would like to concieve sometime mid next year around June (our initial plan). I chose to go on Loestrin 24 FE for these next couple of months. We had unprotected sex the day before removing the IUD. I started the pill 10/10-10/13. We had a sudden change of heart and decided to just try and stop putting it off SO I stopped the pill after only taking it for three days. I ended up buying home pregnancy tests and those OPK just for the heck of it. I used the clear blue digital ovulation kit and to my surprise it was POSITIVE for a LH surge that day 10/13 (last day of pill). As of 10/16 I have had bleeding which im assuming is withdrawl or break through since its not time for my menses. I now feel horrible and really want to be pregnant but im worried that the blastocyst will not be able to attach since im bleeding. Should I still be able to get pregnant with this bleeding?

Did you ever find out if you were pregnant? Im going through the same thing but stopped taking the pill on the 6 day and sex the next day and I didnt take anymore. That week was my ovulation week.

Thanks Susan, I will be taking a test next week (crossing fingers).
Just another quick question...
I know that withdrawl bleeding occurs due to the hormone levels changing and that its not a "real period". If it is not a real period, where does the bleeding come from? Is anything being shed? Im not sure I understand the true meaning of withdrawl/break through bleeding.
