We are woman. Is there such a thing as normalized hormone levels? I'm 13 months PBC & am still moody. I've been on progestrone since our MC in january so that plays a big part in it as well. Are you charting? Of so I'd make a note of it for a few months to see if there is a pattern & discuss it with your Dr.

I've been off BCP for 13 months and PMS really bad too!!

Actually, my OB explained that when you come off BC, it's still sort of coursing through us and it takes a while for our hormones to take over and THEN figure out wtf they're doing since they haven't really been working for a while. For me, my cycles were pretty regular the first couple cycles off BC, then after 5-6 months everything just went haywire. My cycles are completely irregular and PMS has been out of control. They should level themselves out in time, but it's been... fun while all this is going on. Hang in there, we'll normalize eventually!

This is my 4th cycle post-BC. I went off it in December. My first two cycles were fairly long, last one seemed a lot more normal. Haven't noticed much when it comes to break outs or anything but last cycle I was definitely moody just before AF! Ironically, my cycles are lighter and shorter than pre-BC or even while I was on BC! And cramps are nearly non-existant. It's really bizarre.

@chibee: This is exactly what happened to me too. My first cycles were all very normal 28-31 days... and my last two cycles were 41 and 51 days! I'm currently on CD36 of this cycle and hoping to O within the next couple of days...
