Hi Laura

it can take a while for your body to return to normal after coming off the pill. It took 6 wks for mine to return after coming off the pill, then i had a bleed for 7 days. eventually my cycle settled down.

good luck ttc

Im just having my first period after comming off the pill, it was 5 weeks and one day in comming. Pretty normal in colour and amount but only in 2nd day, hope it doesnt last ages - OH looking forward to more BD.

I'm not gonna be much help now... The first time I had it was apparently due to my body adjusting after coming off the pill. The second time (8 months after I came off the pill) was because I was pregnant, so good luck and I hope you get the results you want

I came off the pill in July 06 and became pregnant in the following April (no sign of any periods!) My egg must have fertilised at just at the right time As you can see my LO is now nearlly 5 months and still no period, i guess it takes my body a long time to get back to normal!

All i can say is really do not worry too much, thought there was something wrong with me (was up and down the hospital and had another appointment booked and everything!!!!)
