My first cycle off birth control was over 60 days. my doctor said it's very common to skip a period. I do have PCOS so I had long cycles but once I figured them out it was normal for me.

I was on yaz and didn't ever have a period on it, my doctor said that can happen to some people. It took my body a few months to regulate after stopping. If I were you though, I'd be much more concerned that you didn't have regular periods before going on birth control. You may want to talk to your doctor about that so you can be aware of what to watch out for and what signs your body could be giving you that there's a bigger issue.

I was on Depo when I was 21 and was on it for 5 years, I think. Depo is a 3 month BC shot.

After Depo, I was on the nuvaring for a while. When we started TTC, I was off any kind of BC for about a year.

I would ask your dr at what point should you be concerned that you haven't had a period.

As for TTC, I would start to worry if you haven't been able to get pregnant after 8 ish months. It's totally normal to take 3-6 months to get pregnant.

Lots of luck to you. My experience with infertility took me 3 years of TTC to get pregnant but I know that my journey was not normal. I Wouldn't stress yet. Sorry, my journey wasn't exactly positive but if you are still TTC after a year or so, we have a great group of women here to support you.

I was on the generic version of Seasonique. I went off BC in July and had really wonky 8-10 week cycles. In December I had one 5 week cycle but wasn't ovulating. I finally ovulated for the first time in the beginning of February and got pregnant on that first try. I just think it took that long for my body to start regulating after being on BC for so long and one that made my cycles be 3 months long vs 1 month long. I'd recommend using ovulation tests every day since your cycle will be unpredictable most likely.
