First period after pill

in Trying to conceive
Hi ladies, hope you all had a good new year's eve!

I came off the pill last month and have just got my period on Saturday (boo hoo!) but it only lasted til yesterday. Two and a half days - is this right for coming off the pill?

Good news is that if my cycles stay like this, 30 days, then I'll know where I stand each month. Somehow, I dont think my body is going to make it that easy for me! :\(

    Hey piggypops, dont mean to be nosey but how have your cycles been since coming off the pill? Are they pretty regular?

    I'm hoping mine stay at 30 days, that would be fantastic, at least I'd know whats what!!!!

    Mine were very light after coming off the pill , 2-3 days, and very light. Mine were pretty much 30-32 straight away, with a random 40 dayer!

    Good Luck!

    I also just came off the pill last month after being on it for 13 years. I had a 24 day cycle and my period lasted 4 days.

    Am very excited to be TTC. Good luck to everyone!

    Thanks for your replies ladies, its nice to know that others have this too. I think its hard coming off the pill because you never know what to expect, this site is a godsend!
