I stopped pills in January, and immediately got my period. (I think everyone gets that initial period after stopping the pills) Then 31 days later, I got another period. So, I felt like I became regularRegular insulin right away. Now I am CD 34, and still no AF. I suppose I could be pregnant, but using ovulation kits, I didn't even detect any ovulation.
I would love to hear others' stories on how long it took them to begin ovulating and getting regularRegular insulin periods. I think I'll take a hpt if I still don't have af in a couple days.
I went off birth controlControl Control rx in Oct and had 4 regularRegular insulin periods, 27 days exactly. The next month I was 30 days and this last period I was 36 days. I think sometimes it takes a while for the birth control to get out of your system and periods stay a little regular because of that. I was ovulating around CD 15 or 16 and I am now more around CD 19 or 20. I think you just have to give your body time to get those hormones back in check maybe...but that does not mean you wouldn't be PG either. I thought it was great since I was so regular right away, but that has changed now. I was on BC for 12 years though...so it took my body a long time to adjust to being off it.
Thanks for your response. Everything I've read has said that bc is literally out of the system in like 2 days after stopping, but when our bodies are forced not to ovulate for so long (I was on bc for 10 years) it can take a while to ovulate again. It's just frustrating. :-(
