Hi,
I have had very irregular periods since stopping use of the birth control patch at the end of January. I had a period as expected on Feb. 4, then my next one was 4 weeks late (April 1), then 7 weeks late (June 1Cool, then over 2 weeks late (Aug. 3) and now I am currently still waiting at over 4 weeks late. I was on birth control for almost 4 years, and before my periods were fairly regular. It has been 8 months off birth control - should I be worried?

Hello, I just wanted to let you know that you are not the only one. I stopped using the patch in April and have had very strange cycles since. The first three months were 28 days to the day, then they went to 31 to 33 to 35, then it was down to 30 and this time was 26. Yours seems a bit more extreme. Hopefully everything will work itself out. That's what I think is happening to me right now. I am trying to get pregnant and this is so frustrating.

PostPosted: 09/27/07 - 18:04    Post subject: I also had crazy cycle times after stopping the pill Vote now! Reply with quote

I was on the Seasonale pill where I had only 4 periods a year. When I came off:
my first period was right away
second cycle took 37 days
third cycle took 60 days (with a preg test every other day!)
fourth cycle took 52 days

Now I'm working on my fifth. I have no history of abnormal periods at all. I want to get pregnant soon, but I'm wondering if I should wait until my cycles are regular before we start trying. Any thoughts?

I was on Nuvaring and had issues. I stopped using it 6 months ago. Last month my period arrived a week early. Then two weeks later I'm on it again. It's been a week since it started exactly and it's still very heavy. Anyone else have nuvaring issues? Or periods so close to each other? Or this heavy (super plus tampons every 4 hours) for a week straight?

Hi, I am replying to the nuvaring post. I was VERY regular before getting on birth controll. I tried pills for a year, then the patch for a year and then the nuvaring for over six months and now I'm off birth controll. My periods are irregular (late). I think it is just a normal thing that happens from getting off birth control.

I too am having problems with regularity after coming off of the patch. I was on the pill and then the patch for 7 years total. For the last 5 months I have had periods between every 31-33 days which are extremely light and short. I am on day 32 now, waiting. I will see a doctor in August to make sure all is well!
