Hello everyone!
I haven't been lurking long, so I am still trying to figure out the language (I have the glossary up and at the ready for reference!), but I wanted to introduce myself. I also apologize if my question is redundant, I promise I will do better at reading more in the future. :-)
My H and I got married in October, and we are planning to start TTC sometime in 2014. We've been together for 8 years and have lived together for 2+. 2013 was a big year for us because we bought a house together and had our wedding - I am looking forward to the next step!
My question - and I am not looking for medical advice I am just interested in learning about others' experiences - how long did it take you to regulate your periods/OV?
My situation - I was on the depo shot, and got my last shot in May 2013 which ran out of total effectiveness in August, at which point I went on BCP. I took BCP until the wedding, which I got a period when I stopped the pills in early October, but haven't had one since. I am not worried at this point, but I think if I don't get one by the time we come back from our honeymoon in February I am going to make an appointment with my OBGYN.
Thanks, and I look forward to getting to know everyone more!

Welcome and congratulations on your marriage!
My body never regulated off of BC, but I'm not the average person. There was 1 normal cycle the month after I stopped, and ever since they've all been long cycles where I have to take Provera to end them.
Ditto Lucky's advice. My Dr told me to either start charting or take a HPT once a week after 28 days until I get a positive or till it's 60 days. Then call in for a prescription. Although my first time I called in, they scheduled an appointment to discuss what was going on with me. We too were using a barrier method BC. So taking a HPT was weird, because I knew we had prevented that whole time.
