Hey gals,
AF arrived this morning. I was so sure I was pregnant being that AF was due to come on the 10th. I know that the BCP made my cycle nutty, I almost regret ever being on them. I had cd's of 31 from NOV to DEC and from DEC to Jan it was 28 cd now I am counting 30 cd from my LMP in Jan to this cycle. Any one know what's going on? Think I may be irregular now? Any suggestions, comments and thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Thanks

So sorry af arrived, she is so mean to keep you waiting and then show her ugly face just when you thought youd cracked it!

I know birth control pills can make you irregular but i have heard that after 3 cycles of being off bc you should be going back to normal, obviously this is not the case for everyone! How long have you been off them now?

I have been off BCP since Nov.

Sorry to hear that AF came. Although positively speaking, it doesn't sound like you are that irregular. Having a few days of variance is not uncommon at all and probably not anything to be alarmed at. I have cycles anywhere from 26-30 days, but my luteal phase always stays right at about 12 or 13 days. So, once I know when I have ovulated, then I can predict exactly when AF should start. I just can't predict ovulation, so that is what makes my cycles different lengths.
