Unfortunately no I don't remember what my cycles were before I was on the BC - it was so long ago lol
It's just frustrating - I wish my cycles would settle down already....and I wish that I had never started using BC! lol
it took a couple of months for me to get regular cycles. some people it takes 6 months or so to get back to regular cycles. Taking your temp daily and charting using a program like Fertility Friend can help you see what your cycle is doing.
Yep like has already been said everyone is different... I was pregnant 2wks after stopping bc! But I had only been on bc for less than a year and for most women the time they've been on seems to have some effect on how long it takes to get 'back to normal'. If you've already had a few af then its probably gonna even out fairly soon and even if it doesn't get to a standard every month doesn't mean you can't get pg! Charting with FF is probably a good idea though, or even just checking out the fertility signs course so you'll have a really good idea on what to look out for. Hope you get bfp soon!
I had super long cycles too! I went off the pill in January (after 11 years on it!) and my cycles were all 50+ days. My GP told me it was likely I wasn't ovulating but to just give my body time to get back into the rhythm of things. We got our BFP this month on what was a 44 day cycle according to dates!
So try not to worry too much - your body will adjust, just give it some time!
I came off BC after 2 years and my cycles were 35 - 37 days. I charted so I knew I was ovulating. BFP in 5th cycle. Give your body time to remember how to do things and agree with others, charting with FertilityFriend is a great move.
