Anyone coming off BC ?

[Starlight288]

Hi,
I'm looking to find anyone who was on birth control for an extended period of time and is now TTC. Are your cycles regular now? How long did it take to get into a pattern??

I was on BC for a really long time and this is my 4th cycle ( starting today). Hoping I'll start to see a trend soon. I've had 28-32 day long cycles so far. Thanks to anyone willing to share!

I used birth control for 7 years and stopped it roughly 5 months ago. Last cycle was more regular than usual so I'm starting to think it's settling down now. ..... Well. Hopefully.

I posted a similar question a few days ago in the regular ttc forum, I got some good responses so you should take a look. My concern is that I have not had regular cycles after 7 months of being off the pill and I have probably not ovulated. I had my first period at the beginning of the month and am now on CD 20 with no O yet. I continue to temp, monitor CM, use OPKS and my ferning microscope and keep my fingers crossed that it will happen. MY GYN said sit can take some women up to a year to get regular cycles again after stopping BCP. I was on the stuff for 13 years...wish I had known or I would have stopped years ago..

I was on it for nearly 10 years.

1st cycle - 28 days
2nd cycle - 42 days! Urgh
3rd cycle - in progress

Heres hoping for a more regular cycle or a BFP this time.

Thanks for all the great answers!! Hope everything settles down for all.

My first cycle was 116 days!! Then the cycle after was 35 then 32, then BFP!

AF has arrived so I've had 3 cycles between 30-32 days. Hoping it'll continue like this. I assume this is good.

I was on bcp for just 2 years. The first 3 months my O day and cycle length varied. I have had 2 regular cycles now (numbers 4 and 5) and this cycle (number 6) is shaping up to be the same. My cycles are on the short end so this is cycle 6 but only month 5.
