I wouldnt start counting properly till you get a true period, you could get sum cheap ovulation tests of ebay though and test every day so if you ovulate before you get your period you will know. You can get like 20 for a couple of pounds xx

Actually u might not go back to long periods. I was on bc for long periods, 15- 16 days, and mine didnt go back to long after coming off after 4 years. Although i did have to wait until 6 months after coming off implanon. Blah. Good luck!

I was on the patch! I got preggo right away but that didn't go well and I did go back to a regualar cycle at first, but its changed since. Good luck to you. The girls have given you good advice so far.

The patch made my periods shorter too. I was 7 days, now I am only 4 or so.
