off Yaz

So my doctor took me off Yaz for health reasons at the beginning of March. I've been on BCP since I was 18 (so 9 years). I was put on BCPs because I had a 21 day cycles and my period lasted 8-10 days. now that I've been on POP it's been 34 days since my last period. 

switching to POP is similar to going off BCPs as far as cycle-regularity goes...how long might it take to get back to a predictable cycle?

Re: off Yaz

  • It really depends, some people have regulated cycles right away and others can take months to a year to have regulated cycles, there's really no way to tell.

  • It varies for everyone. Some women immediately start having regular cycles, some take a few months, and some (like me) go 5 1/2 years and STILL don't have regular cycles back. Making an estimation, I'd say most people probably regulate within a few months though

  • ugh, this is why I was so in love with BCPs because I could predict down to the hour when my period would start.

  • Lol.. that is the one thing I miss about bcp! Everything else about bcp sucks! :) Hopefully you'll be one of those that regulates after just a few months. Just don't be shocked if you have several longer cycles at first, as that isn't uncommon.

  • Hi all...bumping this discussion from a few months ago...Update: 

    H and I have decided to start TTC in the next 5-10 months.  I went off Yaz March 10th for other health reasons, and AF has not visited since. I've been taking the mini-pill, but I don't see amenorrhea as a listed side-effect, but my PCP thinks it's possible that the progesterone could be connected...have any of you ladies experienced this? I have taken several PTs recently just to be sure, all negative.

    my PCP suggested to just wait 3-4 more months and see what happens if I go off the pill then.  I do have a PCOS diagnosis, and I'm wondering if I should be pushing for a work-up sooner rather than later?
