I came off the regevidon pill after being on it for 15 years at the end of Nov 23 and had a WD.
Cycles have been regular since - 26, 30, then 28 days
Curious to hear your experiences?
Thankyou Smile

A few months. Have you been tracking your ovulation? I found that really helped and was pregnant soon after.

glitter543 · 18/03/2024 20:25

I have! Clearblue kits.

Following!! I've just come off the same pill (about 3 weeks ago) after being on it for 9 years, so would also be interested to hear others stories!

Good luck!

First time less than 2 months and second time 4-5 months. I didn't track ovulation or anything with my first but did with my second.

Immediately, both times, and I have PCOS.
Not bragging at all but wanted to give PCOS sufferers a bit of hope.

Straight away. First time had been on the pill for 10 years and it happened instantly. Second time again straight away. I was very lucky but it can happen quickly 🤞

SlinkMcSlink · 18/03/2024 20:43

Wish this were me. Last time I took the pill was 2021 and still not pregnant. Recently been granted ivf funding though for unexplained fertility so hopefully that might help.

Eyeroll2024 · 18/03/2024 20:44

A week the first time and 3 months the second time, I was 28 the first time and 31 the second time and had been on and off (more on than off) the pill since I was 17.

So many mixed stories I guess everybody is different. It's just nice to hear other journeys and that it is normal!

10 months of actively trying, tracking cycles, taking my temperature and using OPKs

Whatsgoingonwithmyhead · 18/03/2024 20:56

14 months.

the first half of that wasn’t really trying by that I mean wasn’t monitoring cycle etc

surew · 18/03/2024 21:04

Unexpectedly it was only a few weeks!

jellyfish2 · 18/03/2024 22:02

I came off it in the June after being on it for around 16 years and fell pregnant in the September which was my first month actively TTC as I wanted to check my period would regulate itself which it pretty much did 😊

WeightoftheWorld · 18/03/2024 22:05

5 months first time and 6 months the second time.

GLC789 · 18/03/2024 22:28

Was on the pill for 19 years. Aged 16-35.

Came off the pill to ttc. Pregnant by third cycle.

Fawklight · 18/03/2024 22:46

9 months. Periods did not return to normal for a good long time. Had issues with my progesterone.

glitter543 · 19/03/2024 05:59

Just a waiting game then I guess! My periods seem to have regulated normally so this can only be a good sign!

Immediately.

violetcuriosity · 19/03/2024 07:26

Both times I caught the first month before having a period

Xxfifixx89 · 19/03/2024 08:51

For those who got pregnant fast, what was your cm like after ovulation? Im 3dpo according to my peak on tests and today have increased white watery cm but I read it dries up past ovulation so guess its not looking good for me🤦🏻‍♀️

Did you track ovulation too?

18 months (in 1980) then no contraception until next pregnancy began 15 months after the 1st baby's birth.
