regular cycles
by Jody__0, Mar 24, 1999 12:00AM
I have been off the pill for 4 months and began having regular 30 day cycles immediately. This last month, however, I had an anovulatory cycle that was 45 days in length. Should my cycle resume back to a 30 day cycle or can I expect more anovulatory cycles? This is making it difficult to predict my fertile time. Thanks.

Ther are pieces of vital information missing. I'll try to give general information. After long periods of time on the pill it may take months to return to a regular ovulatory cycle. Sometimes its best to use a barrier method of contraception for 3-6 months after stopping the pill to allow your body to return to its normal state. Many women however, conceive immediately and have no difficulties. Seek specific information from your personal health care provider.
