Advice

Hi, I’m new to mumsnet and just looking for some advice. Thursday two weeks ago I woke up with bleeding which I assumed was just a period as I was on the pill but I hadn’t been taking my 7 day break in between packs as I’d been away on holidays etc. So I stopped the pack I was taking and carried on to have a period.
So Saturday just past my partner and I agreed that I wouldn’t start the next pack and we would try for a baby.
I just wondered is there anything I should be doing, or need to do or should I just sit back and let my body sort things out for me and it’ll happen when it’s meant to?

Any advice would be much appreciated :)

As you’ve been on the pill it’s just about letting your body get back in the swing of things naturally. Sometimes that’s straight other times it’s longer, everyone’s different. I wouldn’t behave any different to normal though. Most people ovulate about two weeks after their period, just to give you an idea.

Ideally you should be taking folic acid for 3 months before TTC. And just being patient with your body. It can be a little bonkers coming off the pill. I didn’t have a period for 50 days. Don’t worry. And sit tight. Enjoy yourself. Good luck.
