Feel the same as you.

Though a little Blush as Im not as late as you and have already decided that at 26 Im having the onset of the menopause Wink

Wonder what cause AF to take a holiday?

are you charting - do you know whether or not you ovulated this cycle?

How frustrating! I've had cycles that long before, it seemed to take my body months and months to settle down after being on the pill.

They're back to 28 days (ish) now nearly a year after I stopped the pill.

Im considering charting - just to see if that gives me any more info.

Im competing against the fact that I stopped depo injections last september. Went on the pill in december and came off in April.

So most likely my body is not fully woken up from its hibernation.

Get UP! Its nearly SPRING (sort of).

Do you find charting helpful?

sufferingbabyfever I find charting essential TBH. I would be hopelessly lost if I didn't know where I was in my cycle.

I've been charting since 2007 and it enabled me to get pregnant with DD (with 40+ day cycles I really needed some data to go on Grin). I could tell from my chart that I was pregnant even before I did a test as my temps just went up and up.

Started again in Jan this year. It's been very helpful, even when we're not TTC - also tells me pretty accurately when to expect my period (so I can put a pad on without getting caught out etc).

No experience of the depo injections, but if they're anything like the pill I think they probably do mess up your hormones for a while afterwards.

Hi ladies,
I came off the pill over a year ago. My longest Af was 38 days as long as I've been charting, which is only since Aug 2010!

I've no idea if I've ovulated! I did have odd pains about 3 and a half weeks ago, but not sure! I last BD on CD14 - so not sure if I had ovulated by then. Who knows?
Will test again on CD50 if no AF!
Fingers crossed! Wink

Thanks emmylou - no medication taken apart from paracetamol!

Do you think you missed a cycle on your 62 day? I'm starting to think that now, as all day today I've been getting a dull ache in my left ovary (ovulation?)because I would now be on CD10 or CD12 if had my usual 35 day cycle.
The only thing I do is chart when my Cd starts and ends - what else should I be charting? Any advice is helpful :) I'm useless at knowing when I'm ovulating! Only started ttc since Aug 2010 so never noticed before! Blush

Latest update - went to hospital today as have a constant pain in left ovary area. Doctor has referred me for an ultrasound scan to see if it's ovarian cysts.
That would explain pain and irregular period!
Will keep you posted!Sad

I feel your pain wallydog Since coming off the pill over a yr ago I've had pretty irregular periods but this is the longest cycle ever... Day 62 and no sign of AF. Am waiting for it to start so I can book my day 2 blood tests. So frustrating! My GP is sending me for a scan too.

Let me know how yours goes, good luck!

It's annoying isn't it? My cycle b4 that was 38 days but I'm usually between 33-35 days since coming off the pill 15 months ago!
I was upset that not pregnant, but so relievd that ovaries were still working when af arrived!
Good luck with the scan! Will keep you posted - do you think you may have PCOS then? Join the thread PCOS whilst TCC.

Yes it's extremely annoying! I'm still waiting! I don't have any other symptoms of PCOS but I gather that doesn't mean you haven't got it. I just want AF to make an appearance so I can get tested and find out what the hell is going on. It's horrible not understanding your own body isn't it?

My cycles been a bit more erratic than yours, didn't have AF for 130 days after coming off the pill in august last year (so we've been trying for similar amount of time ) then it was between 49-33 days. I've noticed I seem to get 1 long cycle followed by 2 shorter ones. It's like I've totally skipped one this time though. I wonder if I'm only oving on the shorter cycles...

At least we're not alone Wink Hang on in there, it'll happen for us.

PS my top tip is to book an expensive trip for about 9 months time and don't get cancellation insurance. Worked for me!
