I am on CD118 and my doctor told me at CD95ish that I shouldn't worry about it (!!!) I just started spotting, but if AF doesn't arrive by Friday I am probably going to ask for my period to be induced.

In my case, it seems that BCP was the only thing keeping my cycles somewhat regular and it was only when it wore off that it stopped completely...

I think you should call your doctor now. See what they say. I think the sooner you get checked out the better. It could just be BCP messing with you though, so don't panic yet!

Whew, those are a lot of questions, LOL...

My first two cycles off BC were longer too despite having been completely regular before BC. I heard/read somewhere not to call my doctor until it had been longer. Since it's your first cycle off BC, I would wait it out for a bit. It takes some time for your body to rid itself of the hormones and the last thing you want to do is introduce more. See if your body regulates itself before you self-diagnose with anything.

@LaughLines: I did go to my doctor to get help about my lack of ovulation and period around CD65 (5.5 months TTC, after being off the pill for 8 months). He told me I might have PCOS and did tell me he would put me on Metformin and possibly Clomid if I did (I am assuming he meant immediately). I got tested for PCOS and various other things. I had an ultrasound and blood work, which only took about a week and then it was a week to the results. My doctor seems pretty sure I do not have PCOS, however I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism.

After 6 weeks on Synthroid I had another blood test and it looks like my levels have all evened out very well. I still do not have AF, but as I mentioned in the last few days I have had some spotting... I really hope hypothyroidism was my only problem.

I'm in Canada, btw, so I'm not sure if any of this would be different elsewhere.

I didn't give it very long because it was obvious as soon as I was off BC that I wasn't ovulating. I had one normal-ish cycle of 43 days, and then after that I never got my period naturally. I called my GYN and they had me come in for blood tests to confirm no ovulation. Two cycles in a row I gave it until around 50 days, then had blood work, then was given provera to induce a period. My GYN wouldn't do anything else for me, so I had to see an RE. The RE diagnosed me with PCOS based on blood work (high testosterone, high blood sugar) and by ultrasound where you could actually see the classic "string of pearls" cysts on my ovaries.

In my case we were ready to try at that point, so I was much more motivated to make progress. At the time I had meant to give myself 3 months for things to regulate, but it was obvious it was never going to happen naturally. And at 34, I wasn't willing to take things the natural and slow route, like losing weight - but that is a completely valid option if you're in no rush.

@LaughLines: I have seen my doctor, several times, about long, irregular cycles, and I'm not even TTC yet. I just wanted to catch a possible problem before I started TTC, so that I could go into things well-informed. My doctor was more than happy to work with me when I explained that we wanted to TTC "soon" and that I was concerned about my long, irregular cycles. He checked my thyroid, glucose levels, progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, FSH, LH, and did an ultrasound. Now that he knows my history he said he'd be willing to do more investigating if we don't have any luck conceiving within a few months of TTC. If you're concerned, I'd recommend checking in with your doctor just so he/she knows what's up and has your history, at the very least.

I went off of BC a year before TTC just in case it took my body a while to regulate after. I had a few cycles that were around 40-45 days and I didn't call for those. I waited until I went 65 days and then I called. I ended up getting my period natrually, but blood work later confirmed PCOS. I had suspicions because of symptoms I had as a teenager which is why I was put on BC in the first place. The doctor put me on Metformin and it has regulated my cycles.

I'm in the same boat with the long cycles. Since coming off of bcps a year ago, I've had anything from 32 days to 116. So frustrating!!

I saw my doctor and she did blood work to confirm nothing was wrong (thyroid, premature ovarian failure, etc.). Good news is that nothing was wrong, bad news is that cycles are still wonky. I have been taking Vitex to try to regulate my cycle... I'm about two months in and am in the TWW (I hope) of my most normal cycle in a while (FX), but we'll see. Supposedly vitex "kicks in" and really starts to work at the 3 month mark.

If seeing your doctor makes you feel better, go. Just be prepared that they may say, "that's normal" and you'll have to wait it out.
