I would prescribe lots of patience!
Vitex/Femzone can help regulate your cycles. Some chicks on here have had good results. Have a look at the Vitex thread.

Basically whats happened is:
Saturday = Spotting
Sun = nothing, mon = nothing, tusedday = nothing, wed =Light today = NOTHING
Normally by today I would have a heavy flow.
Now i hadnt expected my AF to be normal after coming off the pill, but i also wasnt expecting that I would have a light flow on wednesday and today have it stop completely!
Im very afraid that I will have AF rear its ugly head again next week, and I dont want ti to be here NEXT weekend which what i feel is going to happen...

Just guessing here but your AF could be finished already. You sometimes get a really light period when you come off the BCP.

Hey Almostthere
I had a very light AF the first month when I came off BCP. I had been on BCP for about 12 years and when I came off after our honeymoon in May last year, the next AF was so light it was almost non existent! Then didn't get another one, cause I was pregnant!
Hope this helps.

Try special cuddles 
After being on BCP my cycle was whack for ages I would have 1 day AF and then 8 day AF and a cycle anywhere between 24 and 45 days it was crazy by 6 months it was perfect again. Had breakthrough bleeding in between cycles as well. It really sucked and I wouldn't touch BCP's with a ten foot pole now

Why dont you do an HPT just to make sure? If you're not preg it sounds like a light AF to me.
ETA: I didn't get anything like this when I came off the BCP but everyone is different.

Yup, special cuddles precribed for tonight! I already told DH, and he was like: WHy? I said : COS IT HELPS  lol hormonal much?

haha the words special cuddles cracks me up!
It is quite possible that's as much as you're going to get this month. Mine have only been 1 1/2- 2 days each month since I went off the pill. I mentioned it to the doc the first time I went and she didn't think it was a problem.

On the pill my AF varied from 2 - 5 days and would vary in heavyness. Some months were non-existant others were really heavy.
Now Im off BCP nothing much has changed except for the length I have it for. I now have it from 3 - 6 days and some months its light and short, some are heavy and long. So I guess everyone is different.
I agree with Amber, if you go out or plan a wee trip away she is sure to arrive in full force
