Contraceptive pill- microgynon
I want to come off the pill. My last day for the strip is Thursday then usually the 7day break and I’m meant to take the next pill on the 8th day which would be next Friday but I’m not going to take it.
My next period is about the 8th October and ovulation around 22nd.
If I stop the pill the will most likely change I assume.
???? How does it work

I think for me it took about 6 months for my cycles to get more regular. I wasn't tracking ovulation at the time so I can't guess at when that settled. I'd been on microgynon for about 2 years when I came off it.

Your next period will likely happen at the correct time, but your ovulation might not, depending on how your body responds to coming off the pill. Everyone is different, you might have variation in your cycles and some missed ovulations for a few months. For some people it can be much longer before their cycles bet back to "normal", for some people they'll be regular right away. If you're planning to start trying to get pregnant, don't rely on the dates to estimate your ovulation, get some ovulation tests so you know if & when you're ovulating more accurately, even if it's not at the expected time. Good luck!
