Ever since I went off BCP, my cycles have been 30 days, 39, 39, then 47 days. What's wrong? I know that I have to call the doctor but what is he going to do?

TIA

Hi there. I'm not sure i'll be too much help, but I just wanted to let you know I am in a similar situation. Since going off BCP in March my cycles have been 38, 39, then 30 days. No telling what this month will bring! I'm going to wait about 6 months to see if my cycle comes back to something more normal...although I don't even remember what is normal for me since I was on BCP since high school. I think it really can take some people's bodies a little longer to adjust. I have friends that were pg the first month off BCP...unfortunately that's not the case with me, but I try not to worry and just enjoy TTC.

Where are you in your cycle right now? Are you charting/temping? Your doctor will probably ask you to start charting your temperature to help better understand your cycle (if you're not doing that already). It really helped me...looking back I realized that I hadn't had a prayer of being pg the first two cycles because our timing was way off! Now that I'm charting it feels nice to know that I O, and to know when it is likely to happen.

Anyway, I wish you luck and I hope that those darn cycles start to be more consistent for you!

Cheers!
