First month off the pill...problems??

hi,

This is my first month off the pill and I am finding things very strange. both when i was on the pill and before i was taking i monitered cervical position etc...and there has been a fairly regualr pattern . This month however after he first 2 days my cervix has been high and very soft (different to any other time i can remember)It has been like this for nearly 3 weeks now without changing.I know that the pill messes things like this up but I have stopped the pill twice before and my cycles have gone back to nromal the very first month i stopped taking it. We havent been actaully trying to conceive this month (until things get back to normal) we have used condoms for MOST times we have had sex, except for during the pill free week at the end of my last pack and the first 2 or 3 days of this cycle.

is this just because of the pill or could there be some other problem.

( I know i prob shouldnt worry but I am concerned that this has never happened when i have stopped the pill before)

thanks...I appreciate any advice you can give..

It is more likely that it's because it's your first cycle off the pill. Some women's cycles go right back to normal when coming off the pill, others can take a few cycles before getting back into a normal pattern. My first few cycles off were a bit screwy too, but by cycle 4, things seemed to fall into place. I hope this helps. Good luck to you!

I quit the pil before and had 3 normal cycles that werrent late or anything, then i got back on the pill and got off in july thinking wed TTC and id go back to normal but so far thats not happeing, i had a 44 day cycle last cycle and im on day 30 now and i havent ovulated yet. Its definatly different each time you do it, i figured the same thing though, i did have normal cycles so why not now. Hopefully we both get a visit from the O fairy soon! Good luck:)

I think they say that it can take up to six months for your cycle to return to normal after coming off the pill. I would include your body (all parts of it) also taking a while to return to normal. I doubt there is a problem, just give yourself a few cycles before you start analyzing every little thing ;)
