Post Pill AF/BFP

[SimplyChic]

Hi everyone,

I was on the mini pill since 16, so I havent had many AF's before that (literally 2), and I'm 5 months off of it now and my cycles are still irregular.

GP says it could be PCOS due to slightly high testosterone, but wants to wait 3 more months until another review, incase my body hasn't settled down yet.

How long did it take for your cycles to settle and when did you get your BFP?

I'm obviously hoping that I just need more time, but they won't do anything yet, so just curious at the moment.

TIA x

You don't need perfectly regular cycles to conceive. I came off combined pill and my cycles were 27 days, 38 days, 35 days then my BFP. I had been on the pill for 11 years. It can just take some time to get regular or there can be underlying issues, but you do have to give your body a good while to settle. Good luck!

Hey yeh i came off pill there 21st feb got my static smiley really quick 1st march yet still no period. Im assuming the pill has really messed watever up as i clearly never ovulated wen i got the static. Figure i just gotta ride this out until everything settles xx

@Sagittarius25 I'm currently on CD 36, previous was 68, before that 28, then 68 again, seems to be all over the place 🤦‍♀️ the 28 days tricked me into thinking it had fixed itself

@Freya8 how unusual, good luck to you!

@SimplyChic it's so frustrating! When I had my first one at 27 I thought ah great back to normal straight away and then the next was 38 I was really thrown off!

I’m currently on month 4 off the pill (I’m 30 and was on it for 12 years). First cycle was 28 days, then I’ve had two 26 day cycles. Think I ovulated earlier this month so expecting an even shorter cycle.

My periods are also ridiculously light (to the point I’m pretty sure my lining isn’t getting thick enough) although I’m pretty sure I’m ovulating from OPKs and BBT.

Just wish my normal cycle will return!

It took about 5 cycles which were anywhere between 17 and 56 days! I had to go to the midwives with a range and get a proper date from the scan

Around 3 cycles to regulate, then took me 8 months to conceive😊

@rosiemat is that the 3 plus the 8 months? Still no AF yet, although I've had some mild cramps this week 🤷‍♀️ happened last month too, so expecting it to take me to CD68 again!

@SimplyChic

Sorry should have been more clearer 🙈
So my periods took around 3 months to get regular and even now they are long cycles around 36 days! I waited for them to become regular before starting to try for a baby.
Then it took a further 8 months from then to conceive my little girl who's now 9 months old 😊
Currently on the ttc journey again for baby 2🙈
