After you went off birth control, how long did it take for your period to come back? I was on the pill where you get your period every 3 months. I went off it in mid-December and still haven't gotten a period. I tested and I'm not pregnant. We aren't trying but want to try this summer/fall and I wanted to be ready. In 2015 when I went off birth control and had my first child, it took 7 weeks for it to come back and then I had long 5-7 week cycles. I'm planning to make an appointment with m doctor but I was just curious if anyone else experienced this and if you took anything to get it started?

I was on the BCP for 10+ years, and it took 84 days for my period to come. I was so excited when it finally showed that I screamed when I went to the bathroom and made DH look. So becoming!
When I spoke with my doctor, they indicated they didn't want to see me unless it was 90 days. I was quickly approaching that, and it finally showed. After that, my cycles were 60 days, 52 days, and went down from there. So it took a long time to regulate.

@2PeasinaPod: so funny I specially had the number 84 in my head. Same thing happened to me (many long cycles dropping by about 2 weeks each time) which is why I wanted to give my body at least 6 months until TTC so I would not get discouraged or frustrated.
I know it was around 3 cycles- but I always skipped the sugar pills or I was on depo so I have had very few periods in 13 years. I went from depo to the pill for about a year then was off the pill for over 8 months and used condoms during that time and got pregnant 2 cycles after stopping all protection.

About 113 days for my first period. I was on the pill for 15 or so years. The cycle after that took around 50 days, then 45 and it progressively got shorter until it was about 35 days. I stopped the pill 6 months before we started TTC just in case and boy I'm so glad I did!

I was on the pill for a little over 10 years. I got a "withdrawal period" 4 days after I stopped. Then 35 days later was the next one. Then 80 days, then 56, and so on and so forth.

Went off in October, got pregnant in January. I never had a withdrawal bleed or period.

I was on bc with a period every month for 10 years. I had a period 34 days ish after I stopped it, no withdrawal bleed, and had another 34 ish day cycle and got pregnant the next cycle after.

ETA: hopefully you get yours back soon. I was too freaked out to go on hormonal bc again after our baby because I feel I got lucky the first time off and don't want to mess with my hormones again if I don't have to.

I was on it the end of Feb through mid April. I had withdrawal bleed for 5 days then ovulated and now I am on CD 2 and it's full blown!
I haven't had a full blown one since the beginning of Feb.

@Journeytooursweetbabyb: I finally got mine 4 long months after going off birth control! I had never felt ovulation pain before but it happened this time around and two weeks later I had my period. Curious to see how long it will take for the next one to come.
I haven't had a full blown one since the beginning of Feb.
