Good evening ma'am,

it is normal that your cycle was "regular" while on the pill, since it was your pill that made the cycle regular. In fact, you probably always had a "long" cycle, but it was always shortened by taking the pill.

It's clear that it's much harder to estimate when you're ovulating when your cycle is unstable. One thing's for sure, studies have shown that in a situation like yours, it's best to have regular sex and avoid stressing about not getting pregnant the first time 😊. In fact, doing these two actions will give you the best chance of getting pregnant.

Tell me about it,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist

That's nice.

Sorry I'm not able to answer the question related to the cost of the medication (I'm a hospital pharmacist so I don't have access to that information). I recommend that you take your prescription to the pharmacy and ask the question on the spot. They will provide you with the answer without hesitation :)

Happy day,
