Hi daisy, i started BCP in November 2007 and came off BCP in Feb 2008, only to jump start AF, and i didn't have AF for 3months, now on postoval tabs*progesterone* to regulate my cycle but since BCP i haven't Ovulated since feb 2008.

Good luck hope you get your cycles sorted out hun

Mine took 3 and a half months, but I had been on BCP for over 12 years. I gather it is usually quicker than that.
Good Luck,

Thanks, hopefully it will sort out soon.

I had a 60 day cycle immediately after coming off leostrin20 (sp?) and my cycles have been 'reasonably' regular since .. although I personally think my body has only just properly adjusted as my flow has changed over the last few month as has the length AF hangs about.

Glad you asked this question as I was curious myself.

I'm off the pill (Yasmin) since December 07. I got the regular withdrawal bleed but didn't get my natural cycle until 35days later. Next cycles were 38 and then 49 days long and most recently was 62 days long!

I am hoping it's regulating now as like Farie said as AF was heavier this month (and sorry if it's TMI but didn't start or end with brown discharge/blood) as it had on previous AF. Plus it lasted longer.

Heres hoping yours sorts out too

I think it depends on what you were on and possibly how long you were taking it. Took me about 6 - 8 weeks to come back to normal after Mercilon (had been on it for 6 years). Now just come of Cerazette (after taking for less than three weeks), so I hope it doesn't take as long.

Hi sweetie, I was on Marvelon for about 7 years, and had always had 22-23 day cycles before I went on it. Went straight to 24 days the month after I stopped taking it. Had a break for 2 years, then went on Marvelon. This is my 2nd cycle off that now - 1st was 30 days long, and now I've got a faint

i was on dianette for 10 years and came off in sept 07 and my cycles are all over the place, i have been prescribed clomid as the docs have said its likely im not ovulating. i think it varies between women as everyones bodies are different.

Was on Microgynon for 10 years. Came off that in November 06 and it took a while for things to start happening. My cycle has been up to 40 days since then and typically 30-32 days. They've been really light and short and I have also now been prescribed Clomid due to lack of ovulation. I'm sure yours will settle down soon and there will be nothing to worry about though, I was never regular before I even went on the pill!
