I had been on the pill for 16 years and went off it in the March. AF came back regular straight away. We started TTC in the May after 2 normal cycles and fell pregnant first go!
I have been on the BCP for almost a year now and have just stopped. Haven't had a normal cycle yet but have only been off it for 2 weeks :D
I came off the pill about 3 weeks ago, got AF straight away as I am fairly sure I ovulated at around CD14 - so straight back into a normal cycle. Got pg within 2 months of coming off pill the last two times. I also feel heaps better since stopping it. I have decided I am not going to go back on it again. Once we have bubba #4 DH is going to get the snip so I never have to take it again!
Hi there,
I know this thread has been cold for a little while, but it's good to read what others have experienced (and it's not like the process has changed much!!)
I went off the pill at the end of September, AF came after a day (bright and heavy) and I've been dry as a bone ever since.
Was looking forward for checking and charting my CM and looking for egg whites, etc, but nada.
Stupid question - can too much sex dry you out?
Milly
I was on the pill for 5 years+ and once I stopped taking things seemed pretty normal and regular
Hello...
I came off the pill...had AF and then fell pregnant with DD.
Came off the pill second time, got AF at scheduled time, and it has been that way withing 2 to 3 days each time..not TTC as yet so not sure how things will got there as yet.
So not all bad :D
I was on the pill for 5 years and recently came off it and it came back on time the next month after I stopped :) and since have had regular cycles
I came off the pill in November, had AF about 3 1/2 weeks later and was pregnant in January. And I had been on the pill for 9 years, without a break (I started when I was 14 due to skin problems). I thought it was going to take months!
Good luck! :D
Great thread, I know it's different for everyone, but reading everyone else's stories has been interesting. I came off the pill a couple of weeks ago, timed it so that AF was due whether I would be on the pill or not, it happened as planned although lighter and shorter than I had expected (not that I was complaining, FTR I HATE it!!). So now we're just going to "see what happens". Exciting, but scary at the same time!
I was on the pill for 10 years with only a couple of breaks of a month or two in there.
Came off it in late Dec 07 & then got AF on NYE. Went for 5 cycles using alternative contraception to see what my cycle did - it was between 26 and 31 days from memory. First month trying (June) we got a BFP and we're currently half way there to meeting the little one!
Gosh this thread is so encouraging
I came off the pill 4 days ago and am bleeding, hopefully I concieve in 2 weeks! lol
was on pill for years. went off it in march and fell pregnant in april, yay! now my little girl is 9 months old :D
First time: I got pg a month and one day after coming off the Pill ... that's after using for almost 10 years.
Second time: I went back on the pill after I stopped bfing my daughter, been on the pill for just over a year, took two cycles to get pg. One of those cycles began the day after I stopped taking the Pill.
I am convinced the pill is the reason I have my son!
I have an autoimmune disorder and ovulated maybe... 4 times a year. I was told it was unlikely I would be able to conceive naturally. I went on the pill just in case, which gave me regular cycles. Coming off, I expected a long, difficult time waiting for a baby, but no sooner had I missed a pill than I was pregnant!
lol: and that's why I'm making wedding arrangements with a newborn in my lap!
