Should I go to the gyno?

Question

I went off of birth control in December. My first three cycles were normal 28 day cycles. My fourth cycle was 32 days and my fifth 39 days. Now I'm on my sixth month since being off and I'm on cycle day 49. I started taking vitex on May 2nd. I've taken HPT's and they come up very negative. I'll attach photos. Should I go to the gyno or is this normal post birth control bodily behavior?

Answer

It can take many months for your cycle to adjust after coming off the pill. Took mine approx. 9 months! Cycles ranged anywhere from 28-75 days! But it eventually levelled off. 
I have also heard mixed things about Vitex.
If it were me, I would probably stop the Vitex and just focus on living a healthy lifestyle.
Good luck! xo

Answer

I would go to the gyno. it is much easier to conceive on a 28 day cycle. I have very long cycles (45-50 days) and even though I do usually ovulate the egg has already started to disintegrate by the time I ovulate.

Answer

Any time you introduce or eliminate a fertility medication to your cycle, in your case Vitex and birth control, there's a good chance it will change your cycle in some way.

One or two irregular cycles a year is still considered normal and healthy. Irregular being a cycle longer than 42 days or shorter than 21 days. More than two irregular cycles is definitely doctor worthy.

But, if your gut is telling you to get checked out, don't ignore it. Also, it's always good to have a preconception visit.

Good luck!

Answer

I got off in October and my cycles have been anywhere from 40-60 days long and I have only ovulated once since I got off. I went to the gyno two weeks ago and he's blood testing me to see what's going on. I strongly recommend you go and make sure everything is okay. Good luck!!

Answer

I've heard Vitex can really mess with people's cycles, so it might be that.
