Getting Regular after the patch Posted: 05-30-08 10:04am
I used to have all kinds of symptoms when
I had periods on my own, then on birth
control I also had very predictable
symptoms at the same time every month.
Since I've gone off the patch, it's been
about 5-6 months and first I don't seem to
have any symptoms of any sort, and my
"periods" are too far apart, 45 days.
We're trying to get pregnant. How long
does this take to get back to 'normal'?
One of the expected side effects of birth
control pills (or patches) is temporary
lack of ovulations after taking the pills
off. Body needs several months to
establish regular cycles with ovulations.
Without ovulation conceiving is
impossible.
You can keep trying to conceive for a
year. After that if not successful, you
can ask for medical help.
