After you went off the pill.... - Women's Health Message Board

After you went off the pill, how long did it take to get your first period? I just went off a month ago and am "technically" one day late. Just curious what other people's experiences have been.

Thanks!!

It would have been 6 months but I got pregnant on my first ovulation (at 5 1/2 months). Now my son is 4 months and I am still awaiting the return of regular cycles.

I've always gone right back to 28 day cycles. But its not at all unusual for things to be weird at first. You might want to chart your cycles so that you'll know when to expect it. Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler is a good resource if you are interested in this.

Thanks for the info! I just hate this waiting game of wondering when it's going to arrive... I feel like I am getting it, just nothing has happened yet!

Thanks!

Hi Hellokitty1973, I never got my period back after stopping the pill several years ago. Apparently this happens in .008% of the population of women Lucky me
