Hi all, ive been on the pill, trinovum, for 11yrs and came off just before christmas to TTC#1. i had my first period 47days after my pill induced period. i really hope this isnt how long my cycle will be?? just want to hear other peoples waiting times for a regular cycle to appear. thanks.

My first was 45 days, next 33 on cd 11 at the moment. B4 my pill I was 28 day cycle, but it's been 15 years! Some people go back to normal straight away, others can take longer- I understand your frustration as it does make working out ov more difficult

I came off Brevinor in November after 14 years, and to my surprise went straight back into 28 day cycles. I had been very regular before, but even so - that was a long time ago!
Hoping things work out for you soon :)

I came off the combined pill after 15 or so years and had cycles of about 30 days. After DS1 and I came off the mini pill, I had various cycles of between 45 and 28 days. Never really settled down before I was pregnant with DS2.

I stopped cerazette in October......9 long weeks before first AF appeared, then very short 17 day cycle, now on CD 23 of hopefully first proper cycle (fingers crossed!)

HTH :)

Thank u ladies. but whats CD?? lol. i didnt have regular periods before the pill tho, but i had only started my periods 2yrs before starting the pill so not really sure what my 'normal' cycle is. would really like a 28 day one so its easier to work out when im ovulating.

Oh just you wait no1childminder....you will soon be throwing around all the TTC acronyms, EWCM, HPT etc my personal favourite is SWI! Wink

6 months before my 1st period - from what I remember they were regular after that after 4ish months.

I was on cerazette for 18 months, regular cycle from about 6 months. I got an app for my phone which tracks my cycle which has helped me get a handle on my cycle (I'm averaging 27 days).

i went straight back to 28 days from the word go. (had been 29 -32 days before i was on the pill so was surprised they became so text book regular immediatly!)

no1childminder · 25/01/2011 21:39

fingers crossed i do get a normal, regular cycle!
strawberrypie i dont understand half the stuff you wrote! teehee. i definately have to look up these acronyms :)
