Still hope?

Question

I was on the pill for 9 years. Last month my period came 2 days late (so 30 day cycle). Now this month I'm 2 days late if you go off of 30 days or 4 days if you go off of the 28 days which I had for so long b/c of the pill. Tested today and got a negative. Should I test again in a few days or just accept that my body is still trying to regulate itself? Anyone else in my shoes?

Answer

Me! SAME BOAT! This is my first month off the pill that I been on for 5 years and I guess this month isn't it

Answer

Guuurrrrllll! The struggle. Im 31, on the pill since 16. I got off starting April, had a 26 day cycle, then 31 and 32...now I'm on day 37, last period 7/4-7/7, and no sign of AF. It's so discouraging. I'm testing again tomorrow, for the last time before I just wait for her to arrive. Praying for a positive BUT I don't even know if I began ovulating with my 3 cycles off! It's all very exhausting. I wish you luck as I know mentally it's a challenge!

Answer

You usually will have a longer cycle when you first come off birth control. You body is trying to regulate yourself. You might also have a longer cycle in general so I wouldn't be too concerned if you are a few days different. My first cycle off bc was 36 and regulated to 32 and I got pregnant my 4th cycle.
