The blue dot is when I got my implanon out, the red dot is when I had periods. How the heck do i figure this out? I got really excited in march when I was late, kind of excited in may, now i'm just wondering whats going on.

Not sure....I know your periods can be "wacky" after BC for up to a year
have you tested cuz it looks to ME like you might be a few days late already

It looks like you have an extended cycle now, and not a 28 day average cycle. My cycle is like that; AF comes once every 34-37 days. Looks like your in the same boat.

I've tested, nothing. Just a wacky period again.

I know it can take a while for your cycles to even out after getting an IUD out...I personally have not had one, but it's what I've read about it, as well as what my sister has said about it since she's had one twice now. It looks to me as though this is your longest cycle... and it may be a good time to take a test since at the latest you're about a week late. Do you chart at all... to see if/when you're ovulating?

I have no idea how. I tried to download an app to my phone and it wouldnt let me put in hopw long apart my periods actually were. 

My bc was in my arm, not sure if that would have the same effects as an iud.

Hmm... I'm not sure. i assumed since you said you had your birth control taking out that it was an IUD. All birth control can take up to a year to get out of your system. So that very well coudl be playing a part in your wacky cycles. As for tracking, apps are pretty much no good anyway. Your best bet is by charting with a website like fertilityfriend.com or tcoyf.com. Charting your CM (cervical mucous), your BBT (basal-body-temperature/aka.. morning waking temperature) and charting symptoms onto these charts will help you get to know your body enough so that you know when you're going to ovulate. Also the use of OPK's are great with temping. Apps and calendars only predict by assuming you ovulate in the middle of your cycle. Where as you coudl have a 30 day cycle, ovulate on CD12 and have a 16 day LP (luteal phase). Or the other way around.
