How Long Was Your First Cycle after BC?

BLuvsE · January 2012

I used Nuva-Ring and am just curious. I had some spotting yesterday and thought for sure AF today - but no dice. I know that the first cycle can be up to 60 days before it's considered abnormal, but was wondering what some of y'all's experience was?

Thanks!

My first cycle was 26 days, followed by 27 days my 2nd cycle.

I was also on Nuva Ring... First cycle was 28 days, second was 31 days, third was 25 days, and I'm now on CD 15 and waiting to find out.

On Nuva Ring I never had any spotting before my period, but during my second cycle off I had 4 days of spotting before AF showed up, and on the third cycle I had 2 days of spotting before.

My cycles were around my regular length (27-28 days) but they were SUPER heavy and a lot longer. Pre-BC, AF lasted 3 days, now it lasts at least 5. Very, very lame.

I was on nuvaring too. My first cycle was 104 days. This is day 31 of cycle 2.

My first cycle was 31 days, but I was on BCP not Nuva-Ring. My sister was on Nuva-Ring and her first cycle was like 50 days I think, but she also has a normally longer cycle than I do.

Everyone is different. My body regulated quickly after BC, but I still haven't gotten KU yet. My sister had long wacky cycles, short LPs (low progesterone), random spotting, and she has gotten pregnant twice in 12 months (sadly her first ended in a MC).

First cycle was 44 days, 2nd cycle was 60 days, 3rd was 29.

My first was 29 days, using OPKs with what appears to have been a 14 day LP.
My second was 27 days, temping but no OPKs and a 12 day LP.

I had two back-to-back 26 day cycles, then one longer one before they started evening out to around 30-32

Mine was 44 days. Since then it has been right around 29 days with a few "off" cycles here and there.

Mine was 33 days. My typical cycle is 29-31 days but I did have another that went up to 36 days so I consider it going back to "normal" right away.

I used Nuva-ring as well & came off in November. My first 2 cycles were both 28 days & the 3rd was 32 days. I also have had more spotting coming off this one than when I got off the pill a few years back.

My first cycle after BC was 32 days. It was all over the place prior to BC.

I was on BCP (trinesa) for 1 year after Depo-Provera for 7 years and my period when I got off BCP was the regular 28 day cycles, I was lucky I realized after reading how others take months to regulate

Y'all are quick! Thanks - that gives me a much better idea of what to expect. Since I'm not temping yet, and if I was still on BC right now would be AF, it's super tempting to POAS all the time, because I feel 'late.' But considering the fact we've been TTA not TTC that would be a waste of money and energy.

Thanks again! You ladies are awesome!
