Back in February, almost seven months ago, I went off the pill as I had been on it for over four and a half years (My son turned five at the end of June) and did not want to be putting that into my body anymore....
Anyhow, I spent March, April and into May really detached and in somewhat of a depression...so unlike me and then I dealt with cycles that were anywhere from two to seven weeks apart until they evened out around the beginning of the summer (Finally)
So, what is your experience?
Is this all normal?
I'm back to my own self now though so no need to worry! I've just been trying to decide how to post this and when...Felt now was the time!
So, share all of your experiences with me!
Thanks in advance!

When I came of it nearly 10 years ago I straight away had a coil fitted so I did not experience anything really
I was just glad to be of the Pill to be honest as I had been on it for many years
But I do believe what you are experiencing or have experienced is very normal as your Hormones had to get back to normal

Maybe, it depends on how long you have been on them. I may have been off and on for about two years. Whenever I would stop taking them, my monthly would come on the third day after stopping. After that my next cycle would get back to normal. I always had a consistant 28 day cycle. I guess it depends on the person, since no two people are alike. I decided to use the rythme method, and it works well.

Well, my hubby and I are thinking about having another child now anyway but I really just did not want to put that into my body any longer!
