Q: Getting back to normal after the pill

Hi everyone!

I have a question.

Before I started on the pill, my cycles were 26-28 days in length...of course on the pill they were 28 days.

I've been off the pill for 3 mos, and my cycles are still 28 days! Does that mean I'm not back on my own natural schedule yet (and maybe not even ovulating yet), or does it simply mean that my cycles are now 28 days?

Thanks in advance for your help!!

Hi Shalhevet! In my opinion, your cycles are just naturally 28 days now. I would say that you are ovulating becuase you are still having your af regularly. If you want to be sure, you could try an OPK (Ovulation Prediction Kit). When I went off the pill back in April, my cycles went back to being 34 days. They went back the very first cycle and have been pretty consitant since. Have you been charting? That will also help you determine when you o.

Hope this helps,

Megan,

Thanks so much for your response..yeah I am going to do the OPKs this month. I can never get enough of peeing on a stick!

Anyway, good luck TTC!!!! And thanks again for your response!
