I was on either the combined pill or implant for 13 years. We got married in September so now we're TTC. I stopped taking the pill on 10th October, and had a normal withdrawal bleed. I thought I was having a late period, as I had brown spotting for a week, before AF turned up 33 days after finishing my withdrawal bleed. AF stuck around for 4 days, had nothing at all for 2 days and now I've got brown spotting again.
As I started on birth control at 16, I have absolutely no recollection of my normal cycle length. I'm tracking using 3 different apps, but might take a while to get a good idea. I've bought some ovulation tests from eBay, and will start checking. I just want to know if I'm ovulating! My body, and it's hormones, are all over the place at the minute!
Hey everyone, can anyone shed some light on my situation please. Came off microgynon after 10yrs in dec, had withdrawal bleed as usual. Had my first natural period in jan right on cue, am 8days late for 2nd natual period. Have taken numerous tests all negative. Really gutted. I no i wont b pregnant. I js want the period to hurry up now so can get it over with and try again next fertile days. People say to wait a few more days n keep testing. Its a very prominent negative line though. I just no i wont b pregant 🙁did anyone else have there fisrt atural af on time n have to wait longer for 2nd.i assumed id b like clockwork as my firat af came bang on time xx
I was just going to pop on and say congrats to Mo then realised this thread is super old haha but congrats anyway! Hope you have a healthy little one!
Aim - I was only the pull for 12 years. My first cycle which ended in a proper period after coming off the pill was 23 days the next was 26 then 27 then they evened out to 28 days. Ovulation can change month to month which would change your cycle length but remember it might take a while for your cycle to even out, hopefully not too long of course! It took us 6 cycles to fall pregnant first pregnancy ended in early MC at 5+3 in Jan then I never had a period and fell straight away and am now 6+5 taking each day as it comes! Hope your cycles are back to "normal" soon XX
