How long after stopping BC did you get your period?

[persimmon]

Hi all, I'm new to the forum so hello! I finished by BC pack on March 25th, and got my period on March 28th (the same way I always get my period when a pack is done). I have not had my period yet this month, and it appears I am not pregnant because I tested negative this morning. So how long after stopping birth control did you get your first natural period?

It was 29 days from my last my last cycle. I was on a low hormone dose called Lowstrin24Fe. This is my second month off of them and my cycle started 26 days later...

Mine took 34 days for the first cycle after 13 years on BCP. It's totally common for it to be a little wonky for a few months before settling in to what's natural.

 

[Monkey monkey]

Took 41 days for me.

Everyone is different, some ladies on here have gone for over 70-80 days waiting and others right on the money at 28 days

It was CD 31 for me.

I had a withdrawal bleed 5 days after stopping, then first natural period 24 days after. After that it settled into 28days every time.

Everyone is different but don't let it stress you out too much if you can, just relax into it and let your body do what it needs to do

I had my withdrawel bleed on 7th of March and I'm still waiting for mine. Although I ran 3 packs of pill together at a time so my body probably just hasn't adjusted back to normal yet.

i am going to do my best to relax; not as if I can do anything to make it come sooner. thanks for your responses

I too was on Loestrin24,and I got my first natural period 31 days after, then 28, then 25 days, which is my cycle length before i started bcp. It takes a while for some ppl to readjust, so don't worry

 

[Bunnylicious]

BCP cycle was 28 days.
Got non-BCP AF was 35 days after last BCP AF
then 31 days for 3 months and then it's been all messed up, I guess from the stress.

i stopped taking my BC in october, i didnt get AF till late jan then nothing again till mid march and it was only little spotting. I just started taking AC(vitex) and hope it helps regulate things! i wish you all the best!!!

My AF has varied from 36 days to 29 days since i came off BS in December - been using OPKs but haven't had one positive - so confused!

 

[sept10]

i got mine CD29, but it varied after that from 27 - 35 days for a while. i heard it can take up to 12 months to get out of your system totally.

I stopped Yaz at the end of February and had my w/d bleed. I then had my real AF on CD28. I have had 2- 28 day cycles since. But I don't think I've ovulated, so maybe my body is just continuing what it had been doing for the last 8 years...

 

[jem77]

I was on BCP for 13 yrs. My first cycle off BC was 35 days, this past one was 40 days. I just started taking AC to help regulate it.

 

[sar89]

This is my first month of Bcp.
I got my period exactly 28 days after the first day of my withdrawel bleed.
So
3rd April- Withdrawel Bleed
1st May- Proper bleed

 

[Msocwife]

i stopped my pill on march 20 when i got my period, got my next one 37 days later!

 

[secsimahmah]

I was on the Implanon implant in my arm i didn't have a period for a year and a half while i was on it and i didn't get mine until 6 weeks after haing it removed. Before i went on it i had regular 28 day cycles but since coming off it they have been all over the place 30 days one month then 37 days the next...

 

[ondjima]

It took ten weeks for my first period after bcp.
