How long did it take for your BC to leave your system?

Question

I was on BC for four years and recently got off so my husband and I could start TTC. My first period off of BC came on time. This is my second month TTC and my period is three days late but I have also gotten three BFNs. I'm wondering if BC is to blame or if something else is going on? I just wish AF would get here so I could start TTC again. Has BC affected you? Or have you heard of anyone getting a BFP long after a missed AF?

Answer

My first cycle off bcp AF also came on time and my second cycle AF came 4-5 days late. Third cycle AF came on time and now here I am trying for the fourth cycle ?

I love the TV series idea, it's quite easy to get engrossed in your fav shows. I have recently started yoga classes too, which have helped me relax A LOT! Maybe give that a try? I take evening classes and it really helps me sleep. Good luck! x

Hi all just to let you know I asked this same question a little while back as iv come off 13yrs of BC and on cycle 2 now. I learnt that if you ovulate late your AF will arrive later too usually. That's because it's typically 14 days after. I learnt this before I was later than usual cycle as I would have definately thought I was pg. sadly I wasn't on first cycle so now on cycle 2. It can take some time to get to a regular cycle and having been 28 days pre BC and throughout I'm now 30 as of last cycle. Not sure if I will stay same or not. Will see this time (unless I get pg!!fx) 
​I was advised by a nutritionalist to take some herbal supplements which rebalance hormones and should regulate my cycle and improve the length of AF which has become light and short over rthe years however, I have decided to give it another month before going full on with the herbs to see how I get on 
​GL!

I just recently stopped taking BC (middle of June) and had a 7 day period shortly after. My husband and I were TTC for the first time at the beginning of this month and I was supposed to get AF on the 20th. I'm currently 2 days late and had a BFN on the 19th, a day before AF was due. My cycles were pretty regular from what I can remember before I started taking BC 6 years ago. Wondering if BC messed up my cycle too....

Answer

I went on BC in February and AF arrived as scheduled that next week. After that I did not have a period until I went to see the OBGYN in June and she put me on progesterone for five days then AF arrived a few days later. She told me that BC (the pill) can put your body in a menopausal state and the progesterone kicked my body back in gear. She also told me that I was not ovulating during that time of no period because my body was in a menopausal state. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Answer

I was on BC for almost 10yrs before I went off of it so we could TTC. The first month it came on time. After that however it's been kinda crazy ha I'll be late some one month and almost a week early another month! So I've basically had to stock up on HPT just to make sure.

Answer

did you have regular cycles before you went on the pill?
