Messed up Cycle?

Beth -- I won't be able to really help, but I can tell you that when I went of BCP after 8 years, my cycles came back pretty regularly immediately. I used to have 28 days cycles and after BCP they were 28-30days all the time. So maybe that is the same for you.... I don't know, just trying to help.

I'm with Sky - I have always had a 29-30 cycle and went right back to that when I quit BC. I had one wacky 33 day cycle but I think it was stress induced.

I would say give yourself a few more days ..... do you think you ovulated? Any O pains?

While some women do bounce back very quickly, some take several months. As I told you, I had two slightly longer cycles after quitting BC. Also, and you're probably not going to like hearing this, but having an anovulatory cycle or two after quitting BC isn't uncommon either. FF's prediction is purely just speculation at this point because it doesn't have a prior history to base it on, you don't temp, and didn't use any OPKs -- which all ok by the way! I know you're impatient, but worrying about it isn't going to solve anything. I'd try to wait it out because you honestly don't know when/if you O'ed and seeing yet another BFN gets depressing. Hang in there justbeth!

I know, Beth you are right, I prob didn't O, and since I don't temp then theres no way of telling and I realize that FF's prediction were just speculations.

I go to the OBGYN for my reg pap on the 3rd so I wil def let her know what's going on.

Did you see any fertile CM around then?

justbeth, not trying to be a downer here, but your doctor/nurse is just going to tell you to go home and keep trying. My nurse practioner says she just laughs (not literally) when she has 20-somethings who come in and say they're not pregnant after 2 months. There's absolutely no reason for them (or you!) to be concerned, particularly after quitting BC.

What you can do, is continue tracking your cycle just as you are until you and hubby decide you are actively trying. That'll give you a good idea what to expect from your cycle. Then you can start trying to pinpoint ovulation (if you wish) using ovulation predictor tests, temping, or even the ClearBlue Easy Fertility Monitor like I use (but that has it's disadvantages too).

IF, and it's a very big IF for you!, you see a pattern of suspected annovulation, short cycles, or really long cycles, then you'll have amnuition, so to speak, for getting help later.

But for now girl, just chill! It'll all be all right.

Just to update, finally did come today

I think that's good news justbeth. I know that might seem odd, because you were wishing for a instead. But I look at it that your first cycle off BC was 33 days. Not bad really. I bet next month it'll be shorter (or nine-months long!). Your body is getting back to handling things on its own. And like Toffee says, creating a more baby-friendly environment.

Hope you're not experiencing bad cramps or anything.

I was actually happy to see her lol! It put my mind at ease knowing my body is starting to get back to normal on it's own , Im suprised it didn't take longer, so 33 days post pill aint bad at all.
