Regulation after stopping BC

[Atia_Julii]

I wanted to hear from other posters out there, how long it took for AF to be regular after stopping birth control pills?

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 regular 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 regular periods.  I think I'll take a hpt if I still don't have af in a couple days.

It took my about 3 months to get regular cycles.
Everyone is differeny though.

Hi !!  I took bc for six years, and I had to get on progesterone to get a period.... and even then I got a period, but didn't o....(Although I'm sure that has nothing to do with bc).... for the most part, from what I hear and have read on here, anywhere from 2-7 months is normal for people to start getting back t normal, and getting their O-ing on track....Best of Luck hun!

Hello!    it really varies with everyone, i got off after being on them for over 7 years and AF came about every 31 days sometimes give or take two, but other people i know have to get on progesterone to jump start it again or it takes three months or so to regulate!! if your already late i'd defintely do a HPT!!!!!  GOOD LUCK i hope thats the case!
