Question: Post pill ovulation

I was wondering how long it could take to ovulate again if I was on Aviane for two and a half months? I don't know if length of use could contribute to length of "recovery" time. I stopped taking it four days ago and started to bleed two days later, my husband and I had unprotected sex, and I don't think I am pregnant given the results of my web searching, but I am bleeding more than I did while on the pill, I did stop mid-cycle, and I know I probably just messed up my ovulating when it does come back...any advice on promoting ovulation or anything to help me get pregnant sooner would be greatly appreciated.

User avatar Hello,
Oral contraceptives can affect your periods as well as ovulation patterns but I would not be too concerned. Some people ovulate very soon after going off the pill; others take a few months. Either is considered a normal response to the cessation of the drug. Most likely this is the reason for your bleeding and this will probably slow down and a pattern will resume, however, pregnancy could occur before things have become regular. This doesn't matter since pregnancy dating can be confirmed by ultrasound.

Meanwhile, be sure to take a multivitamin containing at least 400 mcg of folate or folic acid.

Good luck.
