I am sure this has been asked before - but did anyone have a "normal" 28 day cycle their first cycle off of the pill?

I *think* my first cycle off was 37 days. It took a while for them to regulate, they'd be anywhere between 26 and 35 days in the 6 months it took for us to get our BFP after stopping the pill.

My first cycle was 48 days, my second I was on CD55 when I finally ovulated, and got my BFP at CD63.

I had 3 very ordinary cycles after taking the pill for 8 years. My first 3 cycles were exactly 30 days. However, my 4th cycle was 37 days and my next cycle was 40 sooo

Mine was 30 days I think, then they went up to around 33-35 the following cycle and stayed there.

Just finished my first cycle off the pill a week ago and it was 35 days. Honestly, not as bad as I was expecting after being on the pill for so long!

I think mine went from a 28 day cycle to a 30 day cycle, which was my normal pre-BC.

My first cycle was 40 days. Second (current) cycle is 53 days and counting but, according to FF, I O'ed on CD49.

Roughly 28 days, but it only lasted 3 days. Even 2.5 years later my cycle lasts a mere 5 days including light days.

Mine was around 40 days, then it went down to low 30s and stayed around 30-33 days after that. I ovulated that first month (charted BBT) and every cycle after that, which I was very worried about. We got our BFP on the 2nd cycle of trying, but that was 6 months after I stopped the pill.

the first cycle was normal 28 days but the next one was longer. it was the first cycle TTC and I totally thought I ovulated one week but it must've been the week after because my BFP came much later than expected and my EDD was a week later than I thought using my LMP.

First cycle was 32 days but with the lightest "period" of my life (just spotted for 3ish days). Current 2nd cycle seems to be about the same... I am on day 34 and feeling AF cramps...

I had a 29-day cycle that ended with 3 days of spotting (like emsmems described). I'm now on CD23 of cycle 2 and still waiting for some sign of ovulation.

I remember going off BCP and immediately having a normal cycle...but I was most likely already ovulating on BCP, so my body didn't need to adjust too much.

My first cycle off was 28 days, but after that they got a bit wonky (25, 32, 24) before settling down to 29/30 days consistently by month 5.

5 cycles off BC (6+ months) and I'm just starting to get back to cycles in the less than 34 days range.

Mine was 36, then 30, then 34. Took several months to get to a 31-32 day cycle.
