I think I waited two or three months, but I have an irregular cycle so I was expecting it to take a while. She gave me a prescription for provera.

@MrsADS: if it had gone any longer I think I would've but I did get my BFP eventually. I thought I knew what I was doing charting but apparently I was way off and my cycle was longer/ovulated later.

I think my first post-BCP cycle was around 42 days. I wasn't concerned at that point... I probably would have called around 45-50 days if it hadn't showed up.

I charted and went about 100 days before I called my doctor's office. I went off birth control months in advance of when we wanted to start trying, so I wasn't too concerned about waiting that long. The night before I had my appointment, I started my period. Go figure

Oh, and my next cycle after that was 45 days, which ended in a pregnancy!

I stopped BC and it took almost 2 months for AF, then the next couple of cycles were also long, at least 45 days. Then 6 months later I found out I was pregnant!

I totally understand how you feel though bc with each long cycle I got more paranoid that something was up with my hormones, etc. For me though, and maybe for you, even long cycles after BC are not necessarily a sign something is wrong.

My doctor had initially told me to give my body a year of trying to conceive naturally before introducing any intervention. In retrospect I really appreciated her conservative approach.

You're in a very normal situation but do whatever feels right to you!
