I'm new to this group. I'm 31, been on birth control since I was 17 (pill, ring, depo, then mirena iud 5 years ago). I have no kids and never really wanted any until I met my awesome husband. We got married in August 2014, i had my IUD taken out in August 2015. I did not have periods (which was awesome!) while I had my iud. Now, we would like to have kids but I am still trying to figure out my cycles and such. I had a sort of period (light spotting) right after they took out my iud (last few days of august/first few days september), then I had a period (which was miserable, I forgot how awful they are!) mid september. Then, there were 35 days before my next period. My next period is due December 3, but who knows?! Anyway, looking for some help on regulating periods after birth control and some general encouragement that I didn't completely wreck my chances of having kids being on birth control so long!
