How long off the pill....
I took my last active pill on Oct 24 -- last AF was Nov 3-6 ...
Didn't start a new pack of pills on the 7th...how long does it normally take for your cycle to get normal and for me to get AF?
If i was still on the pill I would've gotten AF on Tues....
Once I get normal we are TTC

Re: How long off the pill....
For some women they're normal right away. Some women take months to get AF. It depends on how normal you were before you started BC pills and how your body reacts to the pills leaving your system.
For me, I was MORE normal then ever, coming off the pill. My normal cycles are 50-70 days long (it's awful!) but the first month off of BC pills it was only 33 days. My doc told me that that's not uncommon.
Welcome to the boards and good luck to you!

Re: How long off the pill....
About 15 years  I have been on the pill since I was about 20. I am probably one of the few women in our generation who didn't use the pill for very long.

Re: How long off the pill....
It really varies from woman to woman. It seems to take my body a few months to start ovulating after I stop the pill, but others do right away.

Re: How long off the pill....
Wish I knew the answer. I stopped at the end of October with last AF starting Oct. 27. I"m on CD36 today and still no signs of AF coming.

Re: How long off the pill....
i've been off since july and my cycles aren't what i hope to be 'regular' yet.
they're close to it but i've had 23, 29, 24, 29 and then 24 again day cycles.
but... being 'irregular' might not be regular for me.
i've been on BC since i was 15 so i dont really know what is normal for my body.

Re: How long off the pill....
Obv its different for everyone, but I finished my last pack in June and af showed up 27 days later and my cycles have been between 26 and 28 days every month since. I was on it for 14 years straight and I was actually surprised that I was regular after stopping it.

Re: How long off the pill....
Never got my period on my own after I went off the pill. After 89 days my doctor prescribed me provera to jump-start my period. The second cycle after that was about 85 days long. I needed the provera again the cycle after that.
After those three cycles (about 9 months!) I started getting my period every 59 days then 34 days and back and forth, although some cycles were randomly in-between or more.
But I was never regular before going on the pill. I've had a history of a cyst here and there (I was off the pill 2 years before TTC and in that time, we found 2 separate cysts that were there and each went away on their own).
But I did get pregnant even with very irregular cycles. FWIW.

Re: How long off the pill....
I went off about a year and a half ago. My first cycle was really short - 28 days - the next few were longer - 30-33 days. I had two crazy cycles that were 37 and 46 days long. They were stressful times for me, so I am sure that was what made my cycle longer. Based on my EWCM (I did not temp), AF always came 15 days after my last day of EWCM.

Re: How long off the pill....
I was more or less regular right away - 30-32 day cycles since August. This is how my cycles were before BC.

Re: How long off the pill....
It only took me two months to get regular but that only lasted a few months - then I became completely irregular again but it seems that is from secondary issues.
