Q: New Changes to Cycle....help!

I am not starting month 4 of ttc. In nov, I was 30 days. In december 30 days, january 31 days and now february was 28 days. Should I consider this having irregular periods? Should I be concerned? I had cramps for about four days before af in both december and january, but only a few hours before this weekend. I stopped bc in september. Has anyone else been all over the board like this more than six months after stopping bc? I am not sure if I should be concerned and go see my doctor or what. I have been taking a very laid back approach the last two months, so I don't think stress is a factor. I know that going off bc can mess things up for some time, but it seems weird that I had two normal months and now things are going haywire. Please, anyone who has been through something like this post a reply.

Compared to a lot of people, those are fairly regular cycles. I just finished my first cycle off and it was 44 days. Your ovulation should only be a couple of days different with cycles like yours. I wouldn't be concerned at all with that. Do you use opks?

I have used the sticks(opkts). I used them for two months. I had a real hard time telling when the line went from faint to dark so I gave up on them. It changed so gradual over the course of four days. The good news I guess is that according to the tests, I am ovulating. I really didn't need to tell exactly when I was ovulating as we are pretty regular in the trying thing, lol. Just thought that a little extra knowledge of when I was the most fertile couldn't hurt. The thing that had/has me concerned about my cycle length is that I am always 30 days on the dot. Almost down to the hour. I am not sure what is making it change the last two months. I know this isn't going to be quick. Trying is fun and easy, lol, but the waiting isn't so much. Just wanted to see if anyone else had started going long or short after a few months of regular cycles. How many days long or short are too many? When some women post that they do not have regular cycles, they are talking about more than a few days off I take it. Thanks so much for the imput. I appreciate it.

Coming off of hormonal birth control can really mess up your cycles. It is very common and something most doctors don't tell you about. I have heard that it can take from 6-9 months to get back to your normal cycle. When I got off of bcps in 2000 to try for our first child, it took me over a year to have a cycle on my own. I had to have meds from the doctor. I hope you get a result this month. We are only on our second month of trying and I am already anxious. Everyone says just relax and it will happen but that is a lot easier said than done.
