When would you call?

hi everyone,

From lurking here for a while and also reading TCOYF, I know that weird and unpredictable cycles are pretty common after going off BCP. But I'm not sure how long is within the range of 'expected weirdness' (for lack of a better term) versus something to call the doctor about. Currently, I'm on day 59 my 1st cycle off (and have also been under a lot of stress that entire time, which I know can delay things, too).

I know everyone is different and obviously no one here knows what's going on with my body, I'm just looking for perspectives on how long people would (of did) "wait it out" before calling to check in with your doc. I saw her for a 'pre-conception counseling' appt. about a week or 2 after stopping the pills and don't recall her saying anything about the possibility of a really long time without AF (which seems weird given what I've since learned on my own, but I guess that's another story).

TIA

I second this. Call the doctor today or tomorrow.

I would call. Have you POAS? Could you be PG?

I third this. A doctor probably wouldn't see you before then anyways.

thanks everyone! I will call in the next couple days.

(and yes, I've POAS several times, most recently on Saturday, all BFN)

I've also always heard 60 days, so I'd definitely call. Are you sure you're not KU?

I was told by my Doc it could take 3 months. (Depending on the months that could be 90 days), but it wouldn't hurt to call. I would also POAS to make sure your aren't pregnant.?

I called my doctor at 60 days - she was going to trigger it after 90 but AF finally showed on CD 73.
