Irregular periods after coming off pill?

I took my last pill end of Nov and so far my cycles have been very irregular (37, 39 and currently day 42 with no period yet).

I am not TTC yet, I just wanted to see what my body would feel like off the pill. However, I am someone who gets quite anxious and I think this irregularity of periods is just making me paranoid that something is wrong with me or that I'm pregnant every month!

The fact the cycles are getting further apart worries me a little and I'm only early 20s so should be at my "peak fertility" if you like. I very highly doubt I am pregnant as my last period was on 8th Feb and I had protected sex with a condom once on 12th Feb (right at the end of my period) and we did check to make sure it wasn't broken etc. I think if period hasn't come by end of week I will do a test just to make sure but I have no pregnancy symptoms either.

I am considering going back on the pill to resolve this but I don't want to mask an issue that's there if there is one. Or do you think this is just my body settling down after coming off pill?

Any advice would be appreciated smile

How long have you been on the pill? What were your cycles like prior to the pill? It does take some women longer for there bodies to adjust, I believe around 2-3 months on average but can also be straight away or even longer.. are you taking any vitamins, maybe your bodies lacking something? Vitamin B6 is very good for regulating hormones and may help? I have just come off the pill myself for the 2nd time (TTC no.2) and hoping things settle pretty quick!

I've had been on the pill for about 4.5 years. As far as I can remember, before going on pill my cycle was about 32-34 days and regular within that window. I'm sure it probably is the hormones just settling down but I do take a multivitamin every day as well. Good luck with TTC! Hope yours settles quickly.
