period regularites after going off pill
| Thu, 04-22-2004 - 1:19pm |
hey, i went off the pill about a month and a half ago, but my next period was on the EXACT day it should have been. i thought "yay!" but this period is already 2 days late...
is that normal? i figure it's just the oddities of going off the pill after 7 years...

Since going off the pill last June, my cucles are 30ish days - by that I mean that I've had anything from 29 to 36 days between periods. 30 to 32 seems to be most common. I'm at 29 days right now, a couple days ago I had about 10 minutes of light cramping, so I know I'll see my period in the next few days, but that could be today or the beginning of next week!
I guess what I'm saying in this long winded response is - Yes, what you're experiencing seems pretty normal! So long as you know that you have no reason to suspect pregnancy, there is nothing to worry about. It takes time for your body to settle down after coming off the pill, & you might not ever have a perfect, to the day, cycle anyway.
Your body will take a few cycles to sort out what it wants to do since you are cycling naturally again. I think what you're experiencing is just the effects of your natural hormones. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Good luck
