I'm Currently Feeling: | Info I found on the NHS website hun;
It takes a while for your periods to come back after you stop taking the pill. For most women its 2 to 4 weeks before you have a period, but this depends on the individual and what your cycle is normally like. Weight, health, stress, exercise and conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome can all influence the cycle of periods.
Your periods may be irregular when you first come off the pill, and you should allow up to six months for your natural cycle to re-establish itself fully. Its quite common to have a longer delay before normal periods start again after stopping the pill, especially if you have run two or three packets together. This is because the pill contains the hormones that stop ovulation (the release of an egg) each month.
There appears to be no connection between how long the pill has been taken and having fertility problems. Some women conceive immediately after stopping taking the pill. While the pill doesnt cause fertility problems, it does mask problems that were already there, such as irregular periods.
As soon as you come off the pill you can get pregnant. Its therefore important to use another form of contraception, such as condoms, straight away. If youre trying to get pregnant, its a good idea to wait to have one natural period first. This gives you time to make sure you are in the best of health for pregnancy, for example by starting to take folic acid supplements and quitting smoking. It also helps your GP or midwife to accurately predict your due date. | | | | Status: Offline

| thanks for that info, but i think it refers to the combined pill as with the mini pill you take each packet back to back anyway. Maybe its because im still breastfeeding, but i didnt think that only feeding twice in 24 hrs would still be surpressing my hormones? Ive done loads of tests and think i may have had an implantation bleed that tuesday, but who knows. xxx
Also for got to say, i have always fallen pg 1st time trying after stopping the pill, never had a 'real' period before falling just a withdrawel bleed, but that was on the combined and not the mini pill. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | Oh - I have no clue about the pill  Whats the difference.
Here is the info link: http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/articles...?ArticleId=832
aybe use the search feature although you have said breast feeding, seen loads of girls mention that could be a probable reason. | | | | Status: Offline

| Well, she's on her feet now & can sort of amuse herself so....
We've been ttc for 6mths now- seriously (i.e.ovk & microscopes) for about 3 of those. The scope is looking good this month so here's hoping...! [-o< | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | sorry to bump this old thread but I searched and it's about the only relevant thread I can find.
I was on the mini pill for 8 months and the whole time I continued getting my period every month. Now that I have come off it I am assuming I will just get a normal period?
What i really wanted to know though is - as the mini pill and the combined pill work differently to stop a person coming pregnant, does this mean that the mini pill may not present as many problems as the combined for women who are now TTC? | | | | Status: Offline
