Normal Cycle?

First month off BP. Last period was 12/23 for seven days then I stopped the pills...no AF yet this month. I tested like a total dork the other day "just in case" but no dice. LOL. NOT that we were actively trying this month, but I thought hey, you never know. I guess it's coming this week. Anticipation to get my body back in check is driving me crazy!

Re: Normal Cycle?

i dont even know what is considered normal anymore..

i remember i got af on time after going off the pill..was fine for a few months, then out of nowhere i had a 45 day cycle..and been trying to get regular ever since.

probably just your body weaning itself off the pill.

Re: Normal Cycle?

I am off BCP this month too and I got AF on CD31, but I am not counting on that for the upcoming months. It would be nice though! I'm sure you'll get it soon. I heard it takes 3 months for your body to regulate. I went off BC for that purpose. We will TTC in the late Spring/early summer. GL!!

Re: Normal Cycle?

It can be very frustrating waiting for your body to regulate after BCP. Do you remember how long your cycles were before BCP?

I was lucky that my first cycle off the pill was 28 days but I know it does take many people some time to regulate.

But - you are right - hey you never know. If it was me, I would probably test again - but I'm an addict.

Re: Normal Cycle?

If you just went off it can take a while for AF to come. It took me around 70 days I think. UGH...it can be frustrating.

Re: Normal Cycle?

i just went off pill too.. CD 1 of last period was 12/17. I am now on CD 43 with no AF and BFN.

Wish i had a 28 day cycle. This is frustrating!

Spoke to my doctor today and she advised me that it is not abnormal for this to be happening and to wait it out a bit to get regulated!

Hang in there!

Re: Normal Cycle?
