Hopefully it's a one time fluke and I don't have PCOS or something.... mrsjyw on "How long was your first cycle after Birth Control" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-was-your-first-cycle-after-birth-control#post-854440 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 11:03:08 +0000 mrsjyw 854440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 38!, then 35, then 36! (got bfp on this cycle) but i also have long cycles anyway! so pretty much spot on JoyfulKiwi on "How long was your first cycle after Birth Control" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-was-your-first-cycle-after-birth-control#post-854429 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 11:01:22 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 854429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 100 days!

It stayed around that for a while, and then a 39 day and a 46 day thrown in just to freak me out. Now it's been about 15 months and my most recent one was 28 days.

After that 65 day cycle, I was resigned to my body taking awhile to normalize, but I was pleasantly surprised!

I always had a slightly longer cycle before going on the pill so I wasn't surprised that I didn't go right to 28. I charted (temped) from the start and was able to see when I ovulated, which gave me a better idea of when to expect my first period. I don't like being surprised with that :) lioneyes on "How long was your first cycle after Birth Control" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-was-your-first-cycle-after-birth-control#post-853883 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 09:13:08 +0000 lioneyes 853883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 1st off was 41, 2nd was 49. i now just finished my 7th cycle off, and seem to have leveled off in the 37-39 day range. super annoying because before BC, i had very regular 30 day cycles. nana87 on "How long was your first cycle after Birth Control" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-was-your-first-cycle-after-birth-control#post-853804 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 08:54:37 +0000 nana87 853804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ first cycle was 36 days, second was 25. neither is too crazy on either end, but the inconsistency is no fun for trying to figure out this ttc thing! pui on "How long was your first cycle after Birth Control" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-was-your-first-cycle-after-birth-control#post-853777 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 08:50:08 +0000 pui 853777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Exactly 28 days... but then they just got longer and longer. 29 days, 30 days, 32 days, 41 days, 51 days and now I am on CD78 with no AF still in sight. My long cycles likely have little to do with BCP though, as I was just diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. However, it looks like BCP was forcing my cycles to be a certain way and it took some time for them to go to (my) "normal". lilteacherbee on "How long was your first cycle after Birth Control" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-was-your-first-cycle-after-birth-control#post-848511 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 15:13:07 +0000 lilteacherbee 848511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Mine was 40ish I think and they continued to be really long the entire time we TTC, but my body is just weird. Most people's cycles normalize after a couple months off BC. heffalump on "How long was your first cycle after Birth Control" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-was-your-first-cycle-after-birth-control#post-848504 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 15:12:30 +0000 heffalump 848504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm pretty lucky with that- 28 days.

Which was surprising to me since my cycles were longer before going on BC. What kind of BC were you on? I think some affect people more than others. I was on a pretty low-hormone pill, so I don't think it affected me as much as some of them can. 2PeasinaPod on "How long was your first cycle after Birth Control" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-was-your-first-cycle-after-birth-control#post-848473 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 15:03:54 +0000 2PeasinaPod 848473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My first post-BC cycle was 84 days. I called my doctor around 60 and the nurses told me that they wouldn't even see me until it was 90+ days. I was going to call them to make an appointment the next morning when I finally got it! The second one was about 60 days...the third was 50, and I was anywhere between 45-50 days until I had finally gotten pregnant 8 cycles later.

Since then they seem to have normalized.
