It takes a while to regulate after BCP, almost a year for me. I always had short LP and got pregnant on the first "try" (after a year of charting and letting things sort out) so don't worry too much.

Hi csross217. I felt really anxious when I first came off BC pills and it really helped to hear other people's stories, so here's mine I was on BCP non-stop from age 15, coming off them after my Wedding in August last year (aged 30). I didn't have a period for almost three months to start with, but I do feel that a few cycles later things are improving and returning to normal. I have charted since late October (as I was desperately trying to work out what was going on!).... My first month ovulating, I had a 7 day luteal phase, then a 9 day the following month, 10 over xmas and 11 days during my most recent cycle. My periods are also becoming more normal - they started off very light and mostly brown (sorry if tmi) but now they seem much healthier. So to echo what others have said, it does seem to take a bit of time to normalise. And I've read a lot of people say similar things. Charting and seeing this change over time has made me feel like my body is heading in the right direction, so I would recommend it. Now we're ttc, I've also found charting to be a really useful tool
