Anyone that's been regular after stopping BCP

I'm one week away from taking my last BCP and I am super excited.  However, I don't want to get my hopes up too high because I'm afraid my cycle is going to be all out of whack.  Has anyone had a normal cyle after stopping BCP?  I have been on the pill for 10 years, so I won't even know where to begin when it's time to start "charting".  I'm sure it's been asked a hundred times before, but what is a good starter book for TTC? Thanks for your input!

    My periods were regular after going off BCP.  My first cycle was 28 days, the next was 33......they were all different lengths and I O'ed on different cycle days, but I'd say they were regular.  I also charted and it helped me know what was going on.

    I was regular after stopping BC, but I was regular beforehand.  Start charting the first day of your period (fertilityfriend.com).

    I would definitely recommend reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility - it had so much good information.

    I was so regular it wasn't even funny.  I took BCP for about 14 years...b/c of endometriosis.  I went off the pill and my cycles were 28 days...I got preggers after 2 cycles off the pill.  Very quick! 

     

    Good luck!

    I have crazy long (37 days), irregular cycles when not on the pill. ?I was on them for 13 years, and it only took us 7 months of only semi-trying before I got a BFP after stopping. ?Just don't pressure yourself too much - stress is not good for TTC!

    I stopped BCP and did my temperatures (Basal Body) b/c I'm a control freak. We weren't really trying but I wanted to see how long my cycles were. My first one was 36 days but I did get pregnant. My doctor said sometimes you can be more fertile the first cycle off BCP however you can also release 2 eggs. I thought I was having twins for awhile after that! I'm not though. Good luck!

    My cycles were pretty regular after going off the pill (I was on it for 12 years). I took my last pill in June and was pregnant in August!

    What about your weight and stopping BCP?
