How long did it take.....
For ladies that came off the pill how long did it take for your cycles to get back to any kind of normality / pattern?
It has only been four months for me but in that time I've had a 28 day cycle, a 24 day cycle, an 11 day cycle (?) and now I have just started to spot on day 23 yesterday only for nothing further today?????
Also AF has been 2, 3 and 4 days and not what I would call full AF at all. Any ideas welcome! I understand some people get back to normal straight away and for others it can take much longer than this but I just really can't wait to get started properly and whilst it is all over the place like this I can't time anything and feel that using OPK's would be a waste as a while ago I got loads of EWCM followed two days later by a 3 day AF. Why is this so difficult ?

I came off the pill (yasmin) at the end of feb, I had a withdrawel bleed and then AF turned up last monday and finished yesterday. I only had 24 hrs of full AF and the rest (before & after) was some brown/red and sat I had nothing at all!
I also go with the theory that we forget what a 'normal' AF is like.
Hope everything settles down for you real soon - until then enjoy the fun of bd'ing more. xxx
Are yours like they were before you were on the pill? I was on microgynon x

I came off the pill (microgynon) in August had a withdrawl bleed straight away and then my AF's settled down to 26-27 days. However the last 2months they have been 22 and 24 days so unsure whether it is just a blip in my cycles or if they haven't settled down yet. We have been trying for 7 months but no such luck yet.

i came off mini pill in aug08 and didnt have a AF till jan09 then cycle went nuts for about a year... my cycles shorten'd aver time and got reg by the end of 09...
After 20months ttc i got BFP and my cycles were 25days
Best of luck gems 5+5
I think I've been pretty lucky for them to return to normal so fast, but saying that, I'd forgotten how heavy and painful they were before the pill.
I think there are lot of ladies on here frustrated with things not getting back to normal straight away, but I hope you get sorted soon. x
