Coming off the pill

Hello!

I’m looking to see how long after coming off the pill you fell pregnant, as well as how long it took your periods to get into a ‘normal’ routine?

I've still not had any sign of AF, nothing since my withdrawal bleed ended around 23rd Oct...

I came off rigevidon last July & by the end of October I was 7 weeks pregnant - therefore I must of conceived in September. Unfortunately this ended in an ectopic pregnancy. We have just started TTC & on our 2nd cycle so hopefully fall as soon as last time. Good luck on your journey!

I came off Microgynon back in May after using it around 2 ears but using the pill of various types for 15 years. If I’d have known how long it takes to regulate yourself after Microgynon I’d have come off it sooner!! My cycles have been so irregular. First bleed was 28 days. Since then I’ve had a 29, 37, 39, 34 and 31 CD. I need to invest in ovulation kit because I have no clue when I’m ovulating except the rough guide on Flo app. Came off Microgynon because my periods had become non existent and as I was about to turn 30 and had used the pill for so long I was worried something was wrong. Since then we’ve decided to actively TTC. I’ve since read Microgynon can have these affect on your body.. we spend years taking the pill to make sure we don’t get pregnant and then come off it and realise it’s not as easy to fall pregnant as you might think. I’m currently on cycle 6. CD 25 and light bleeding since yesterday. Not usual to have bleeding so early so we shall see. AF due 24.12!!

Still nothing.....

I came off Microgynon in October. Cycle has seemed pretty okay (silly me assumed what everyone is calling a withdrawal bleed my period lol) that came on 3 days later and then next period came 29 days but my periods were never crazy to begin with. I recently started using opks because I'm a planner and wanted a better understanding of what was going on with my body.. I've been taking birth control for the past 13 years... I had no clue what ovulation, cervical mucus and definitely not what opks were or even meant.. I thought ttc would be a breeze... babydance, sexy time, legs in the air but clearly you need some sort of special training to make a baby Sad

@Mycrazylife85 oh hell 😂 I'm on 48!

@WINGING19 I know... now it's just comical 😏 I felt the same as you though at your stage. It's a drag

If it helps anyone, after I stopped taking the Rigevidon pill , I think I ovulated approx CD39 days after the first day of my withdrawal bleed (according to CM). Then got my first post-pill period on CD50. But that one was not a real AF, as it was super light and brown in colour. Lasted for approx 4 days. I then ovulated again (according to BBT and CM) CD25 days later, and then my first real AF came 13 days later (total cycle length was therefore 37 days).
Am hoping my next cycle gets shorter, as I want to ovulate soon for my first TTC cycle :)

Hi, I came off Yasmin 23rd October and had a withdraw bleed for around 5 days. I then had AF 25th Nov and I'm now 9dpo. AF due Christmas Eve so fingers crossed! It's my first cycle though so who knows what may happen.

WINGING19 · 18/12/2019 13:14

I've given up worrying or thinking. It's odd that I seemed to have a normal first cycle but then a 1 day AF. My body will sort itself out eventually.... I hope....

WINGING19 · 30/12/2019 12:36

AF appears to have arrived CD 61 🤷

@itstimes1
Hello

I came off the pill in March 2019 been on it for 8 years .. it took 3 months to get my period after their they have been irregular I been testing ovulation too and like u I ran out of test strips after 3 months 🙈
I went to the doctor and going through tests atm
Hormone tests are fine ultra sound tests are fine S they were testing for PCOS
they have predicted me Provera for 3 months to hopefully remind my body how to function properly

I really wish the doctor told me how long it would take for my body to adjust as I'm TTc and still not successful
