a poll on cycle lenths after the pill - help please!!
Hi All
I'm trying to get a feel for what's 'normal' for cycle length after coming off the pill. Now I know there is no such thing as normal, but given the doctors say 'it can take up to a year' does that mean it will take a year, most people take a year, or in a small minority it takes a year?! See what I mean?
So, please please please can you help me figure it out by posting your cycle lengths after being off pill like so....
WB - 1st AF: 30days
cycle 1: 47 days
cycle 2: 33 days
cycle 3: 64 days
cycle 4: 61 days and still counting....
Thanks ladies!

to be honest mine went back to same as before pretty much after the pill.
Were all 35 days with one that was 40 and this one is 28.
Was on Dianete for 3 years, then was on Yasmin for 5 years (8 overall)
Cycle 1: 28 days
Cycle 2: 28 days
Cycle 3: 32 days
Cycle 4: 31 days (felt this was first proper AF after pill cos it hurt like hell!)
My friend came of the pill and has had very erratic cycles xxx
c1:21 days
c2:28 days
c3:20 days
c4:37 days
c5:33 days
who knows what mine are doing lol!
after 10 years on the pill mine were
66 days
57 days
42 days
37 days
47 days
40 days (BFP cycle)
i started using the cbfm but starting later in my cycles as i always seemed to miss ov x
good luck x
42 days for first AF
32 days later had bleeding for one evening (?!)
98 days now (from the proper full length AF) and still no sign of AF!!!
I did cheapy OPKs every day for the last three months and much to my surprise I ovulated 7 days a go so am on my first ever 2WW and hoping that in a week's time I either get a BFP (please, please, please!) or AF - if it's AF I really hope it's not another 100+ days til the next one!

Cycle 1 - 166 days
Cycle 2 - 45 days
Cycle 3 - 90 days and still waiting!
I would advice to go to the doctor straight away if they are not getting back to normal, I wish I hadn't waited as long as now I've got to wait again for scans and appointments. xx
Hopefully they'll get back to normal for you soon xx
38 days
43 days
35 days
37 days
42 days
I went back on the pill for 3 months just before I got married (my skin got really spotty off the pill) and since coming off the pill again my cycles have been:
42 days
47 days
45 days
66 days
We have only been trying for a few months but based on my long cycles the first time and this time, I have been to the doctor and had blood tests. I found out the results yesterday and all is fine except progesterone so I need to go and talk with the doctor about that...I have no idea what it might mean though but I suspect Im having probs ovulating. Ive been taking agnus castus and evening primrose oil since the 66 day marathon.
I have also started to use temp charts and opks so I will know for sure if/when I ovulate so would recommend doing that.
I would also say that if you are worried, go to your doctor and tell them about your cycles- hopefully they will reassure you or offer blood tests just to make sure all is okay.

I did have a break off the pill last summer as well and my cycles went straight back to 29 days, could nearly time my AF to the hour of day! xx
I went into a 35 day cycle when I came off the pill and mine have been regular up until Dec when I was CD40 and think am back to 35 again this month or another 40.
Sorry I can't be much help xx

Keep them coming!

I came off pill end of sept and still waiting.... I'm not even counting the days it's too sad but I guess I'm well over a hundred!! Had blood tests and a scan which didn't throw up anything abnormal - which is good but surely there must be a reason!?!
Hope you get on OK with agnus castus, can I ask how much you're taking? xx
Ok I think I would win if there was a competition for irregular cycles:
1. 37
2. 119!!
3. 13
4. 32 and counting!....
How random are those dates! I was on the pill, (diannette then yasmin) for about 15 years and came off it after my wedding last July. It is very annoying not knowing when you are ovulating or when is the best time to 'try'.
However, I am 28, healthy, with a positive mental attitude and not worrying about it. I want children and would love love love to get pregnant soon, but if i don't then I have a nice life and a lovely husband and consider myself very lucky. I think when you're TTC it's best to focus on what you have got and then you'll be less stressed and it'll happen when the time is right, at least that's my plan! x
