I don't know what's going on? I was on the pill for 2 and a half years and not sure if this is normal after getting off the pill. Please help?

You've been supressing your own natural hormonal cycle for 2 1/2 years, it's going to take a while for it to re-establish itself into the regular monthly pattern. It can take up to a year to do that, and meanwhile you will just have to be patient. Some people rebound quickly, within a month or so- but that's not that common. Most take somewhere around 6 months, some even longer. All you can do is wait, and test if you are concerned. You can ovulate at any point, and will do so before the period happens. The longer you take the pill as a rule, the longer it takes for the body to reset. You are perfectly normal, and just need to be a little more patient with your body, that's all.

This is very normal. The same thing happened to me, so I spoke to my gynecologist about it. Your body is not used to not receiving hormones every day, and it needs some time to acclimate. Last time I went off the pill, it took me 3 months to get a real period, and still it wasn't regular for a while after that. It doesn't mean you're infertile or anything, so make sure you use protection if you don't want to become pregnant.
I hope you find that reassuring!

This is completely normal and your doctor should have told you so. When you stop taking the pill, it can take a long time to get your normal cycle going again. When I stopped a couple years ago, it took 4 months to get my period.

It can take all the way up to a year when getting off some type of birth controls to get your period back. You can still get pregnant even though your period is absent.

Take yet another one - once you come off the pill you're able to come on your era interior 3-4 days. being pregnant checks will constantly be ideal in the event that they arrive lower back helpful, yet whilst they say they're unfavorable, it would desire to be incorrect. leave it for a pair of days and take yet another whilst your hormones have settled down. In early being pregnant, your ranges of the hormone human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) on your urine now and lower back isn't intense sufficient to be detected by potential of the attempt. besides, in case you have used a greater decrease priced attempt, they're much less comfortable than the costlier ones. stable luck - desire you get the respond you prefer.

periods fluctuate for a lot of reasons, especially when you change your chemistry by getting on or off the pill.
oh and it could also be that youre very out of shape, which is unhealthy and has very bad impacts on your life.
