Hi there,
I have been a longtime lurker of various chat-rooms, but have struggled to find one that I feel I really fit into. However, it seems that at least some of you are in a similar boat to me! I came of Microgynon in April 2016 intending to TTC. I am 33 and have been married for nearly four years.
I had been on the pill on and off for about 15 years.
I did my fair chunk of research into what to expect coming of the pill and was prepared for things to take a little while to settle down.
Fast forward 160+ days with still no AF!
Early October I noticed some EWCM and randomly took and OPK, which was positive. 10 days later had my first post pill AF. (I'd been OPKing previously but had given up after weeks/months of negatives).
Similar thing happened start of December and had my second post pill AF just before Xmas (60+ days second cycle).
I am now (in)patiently waiting to ovulate during my third cycle.
I have seen my GP, been referred to a Gyno (for my absent periods, rather than fertility) who wants me to continue with the wait and see approach. Have had bloods and ultrasound which are all fine.
Even though my cycles seem to be very slowly coming back, two periods in 9 months is incredibly frustrating.
I feel like I am not even in the TTC game yet. Just wondered if anyone on here had had such erratic periods after coming off the pill and found they eventually settled down without further medical help?
Huge thanks in advance!
