Normal cycle length?

Question

When I was on the pill for the past 8 years I had normal, 27 or 28 day, cycles. I finished my pack of BC at the end of July, had a normal period and then didn't continue with the next month. 25 days later I had another period. According to the app it was a few days early but I was like okay well this is good at least I'm having a normal cycle yay! Well since then, it is CD 35 for me and all BFN but technically am a week late for my period. I'm worried it's going to take a while to be normal, but I'm also wondering if maybe I'll just have longer cycles? So I'm curious to see what's normal for everyone else. My husband and I really want to keep TTC but it's hard when you are waiting and waiting for AF 🙄

Answer

It's normal to have cycles that are out of whack. When I was on BC my cycles were always 28 days. Since I've been off my cycles are always irregular. I've had my period 22 days apart and as long as 45 days where I completely thought I was pregnant. I feel like once you start TTC, your cycle goes haywire. Now I don't stress over thinking I'm late or my cycle being not precise. I just wait for other signs.

Answer

At least you are having cycles! This means that you probably ovulate and it is better to have a longer cycle than a shorter one... With having a longer cycle that will give a fertilized egg enough time to implant. I was on BC for 16 1/2 years and extended birth control for 13 years. We are trying to conceive but I haven't had a period since I stopped taking birth control in January... 😔
