Q: ???? For Those Who Were On Bcp....

I'm interested on hearing how long you were off "the pill" ,when ttc, before your cycle went back to normal??
And how long it took to conceive once you went off the pill??

The general info says "some cycles return to normal immediately others may take up to 1 year." blah, blah, blah.....I'd like to hear from .R.E.A.L. people, not stats. My bestfriend got pregnant 1st month off, so did her sister. My SIL is 30 and it took her 5(?) months.
'Luv to hear some words of encouragement Wink .....Thanks.

I am interested to know the same thing. I have been of bcp for a little over a month. I have already bled heavily twice. I was on it for so long that I am not sure that it is me and I will never be regular. Or if it is my body still adjusting. I will keep you posted on how long it takes me to get my bfp. I will probably test next week (even though I know it will be a bfn. I have a poas addiction)

How long ago did you discontinue your bcp?

Well, I have been off since June so 9 months. We didn't stop preventing until november. We concieved last cycle but it ended in an early miscarriage so it took us four cycles. I have a suspicion that the reason we miscarried is because my hormones are still out of wack. My cycle comes fairly regularly but my luteal phase is short and I think my progesterone is low. I barely bleed when I get a period now which is far from what mine used to be. I stick to the fact that my hormones are still screwed up after 9 months. I was on the darn things for four years.

mc- nice to hear from someone so soon!
My last pill was Feb.24 Everything seemed great. Got my LH Surge,according to .O.P.K., on the exact day that I expected to.....a little over a week goes by and then all of a sudden...
Hope everything straightens out for you too!!
mg22- Nasty, nasty little pills. I have been on them for 3.5 years. (2 year break from them before that.)I have read about other girls being on them for 10 years straight. So if there is a bright side to this-- atleast we haven't had it in our systems quite as long as others! I'll keep my fingers crossed. Wink

How long were you on birth control? I was on it for almost seven years. I was very young at the time that is why I am unsure about what I will be like without it.

I took my last pill on feb 20th so we are in the same boat. Hopefully we will both get our bfp's soon!

Hi Niki
after 10 years of bcp, I got pregnant 2nd month. Unfortunately, it ended in a m/c, but it had nothing to do with bcp. So, good luck...
