Hello Beautiful ladies,

I'm hoping to get some insight into ttc after the pill and hope you can shed some light?

I came off Cilest after being on it for 6 years on 1st June 2018, had my withdrawal bleed around the 5th June and had an AF on 7th July.
I tried one of those ovulation tests but not sure if I'm testing too early or late or they just don't work lol? (Did one yesterday 17th June).
I was just wonder how long after coming off the pill did you fall pregnant. Before taking the pill I had regular periods with no complications or anything.

I also am a mum to a 6 year old little girl from a previous relationship.

Thank you to all that read and reply.

Hey lovely,

I came off Cerelle in Dec which I think is a similar pill!? 🤔 Anyways, I did the same as you and let my periods get back to normal before we started TTC#1.

I also used OPK'S to help me figure out when I OV... I found by testing twice a day from CD8... once in the morning and once in the evening... helped me find out that I OV between CD16-CD20! My cycles varied from 28 days- 33!! But I know from experience that the OPK's used to go from no line at all to a blazing positive... so keep going as it'll just happen 😂

I got my BFP at the start of the month, so we caught 3rd Cycle (2-3 months trying)

I hope this helps 😂

Sending lots of baby dust your way! 🤰🏻🎉🙌🏻 X

I've been off for 8 months and only had 2 periods in the last 2 months, were so desperate for a baby and everyone we know seems to be pregnant! It's awful! I don't even think I'm ovulating 😭 Just wanted to say good luck and you're not alone, it's so hard feeling alone in all this xxxx

Hello, sorry if this is the wrong place...I’m new
I came off the pill 3 months ago. My first two cycles were normal 28 day cycle. This time I started having pink discharge 4 days before period was due. On the second day I had a normal medium bleed. Then just spotting and now it’s stopped. I usually get sore breasts before period and I’ve had nothing. Could this be that my cycle is whacky from stopping the pill, or could this be implantation?
