Is this normal?

Question

Hey everyone! First time TTC, I just got off birth control at the end of July, I was on it for almost 10 years. The first month I put my expected cycle length to what it was when on birth control (28 days) but after thinking that somehow we conceived in the first month of trying AF ended up just being a week late. So I adjusted my numbers to match, 34 days, but now I'm 4 days late again now putting me at 38 days! I don't want to keep taking tests each month with the excitement of thinking that I must be pregnant since I'm so late. So my question is this normal after being on birth control?? Before birth control I remember being very consistent, but I don't remember how many days. 10 years is along time I'm sure things have changed over time lol any advice or suggestions?

Answer

When I got off birth control I was regular then went to irregular. If you track your temperature you can get a pretty accurate date on your ovulation so you will know when you are suppose to start. My ovulation might be different every month so my period will be different.

Answer

Yes this is totally normal. When I first got off BC i was also irregular . I didn't have a period for months at a time and when I did, they were very short. Then I started getting them every month again but they were days late!!!  I would take pregnancy test but since my ovulation was off they were never positive!

Answer

However it's ok, it will get better. It just takes time to body to adjust to being off birth control and get back to normal!

Answer

I have been a little irregular since going off BC. First cycle was 34 then 31 the last two months. I think it regulates after a few months. Good luck!
