Periods after stopping pill.

[Lauren8642]

After coming off the pill when did you start to get regular monthly periods? I’m waiting for period number 3.
My withdrawal bleed after stopping pill came on day 30 which was normal for me during my period/withdrawal bleed was always 28-30 day cycle.
My First proper period was cycle day 37.
Second period was cycle day 46.
Now I’m waiting for my third period and I’m on day 41.
I have got a daughters that’s two and when I came off the pill to have her I fell pregnant straight away. Other than that break whilst pregnant I’ve been on the pill about 7 years. I’m 25.
I’m not TTC just giving my body a rest

Mine came 28 days later, which was odd because I hadn’t been regular before the pill but 12 years later became so. I now average a cycle of 31 days but it varies, some months it’s 35 days some it’s 28.

the weight gain though after stopping…madness

A few years back I took a 10 month break from the combined pill after being on it consistently for 5 years, for the same reasons as you.
My periods never fully became completely “regular”, but within a couple of months I was having a period every 4-5 weeks and ovulating every month (I knew this because I was testing due to rhythm method).
Every woman is different, and as far as I know it’s completely normal to be irregular for a good few months after coming off the pill. I think it takes a long time for the body to get back into its natural rhythms after being on hormonal contraception for so long. I’m on the mini pill now and love it, very light periods which only happen every few months. It’s very liberating 🤣
Speak to your GP if you’re worried about the irregularity, but at the moment I personally wouldn’t be too concerned. 🥰
