I know it's not the same as the pill but I've dealt with similar cycle issues.<br /> Mirena out in Feb.<br /> March- nothing but brown spotting<br /> April- 28 Days<br /> May- 38 Days<br /> June 44 Days<br /> July 28 Days.<br /> All similar in length and Flow.<br /> My Dr. said normally 6 actual cycles before doing any testing and that's with coming off any kind of BC. I know how frustrating it is but try to give it a little more time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-figure-out-my-crazy-periods#post-233583 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 09:37:42 +0000 kiddosc 233583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's a little early to worry too much. It took me 8 or 9 months to regulate after I came off of birth control. Some people just take longer than others unfortunately. Have you thought about trying to chart so that you can at least see if you're ovulating? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-figure-out-my-crazy-periods#post-233580 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 09:34:35 +0000 chibee 233580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm no expert but I have definitely been told that it takes a while for periods to regulate after coming off BC. I went off in May and my first cycle was 29 days, and this past cycle was 32. To me your period doesn't sound THAT crazy - I would just give your body some time to readjust itself and not worry too much about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-figure-out-my-crazy-periods#post-233535 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 09:15:01 +0000 TJBee 233535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need help figuring out what might be up with my crazy post-BC periods and if anyone has had similar experiences. Probably TMI, but I"m curious if I should be worried or if this is normal.<br /> Off BC in April<br /> Cycle 1: 40 days - heavy, clotted, crampy, miserable, lasted 7 days<br /> Cycle 2: 40 days - very, very light, mostly brown, lasted 3 days<br /> Cycle 3?: 23ish days - started with very light brown spotting and this morning became a bit heavier and crampier. Still brown.<br /> Is this kind of wild swing normal? </p>
