Yeah,there is recommendations to wait for at least one period but I wanted to catch the 'hormonal surge' some women have straight after stopping the pill. Plus, doctors can always use a dating scan to work out how pregnant I am, ha ha! We're one week into TTC now and I'm getting those familiar aches and twinges that I used to get many moons ago that hopefully show my cycle is returning to normal.

I was on the pill for over 9 years too! Your young your b fine :) I'm 24.

Good luck! I would have 1st period so you kno ov date then start month after, it really helped me doing it this way. I think asda brand be fine, it's people pay for the brand they all do the same I think! If I am not preg next month I will prob buy tesco brand as a lot cheaper clear blue expensive!

I'm 28 and was on the pill for 12 years solid. You? I'm on day 8 of my cycle and appear to have EWCM now so am thinking of using an OPK today/tomorrow. I only have the stick ones that test for LH but mine are Asda own-brand so I hope they're reliable.

First month it went back to normal, very lucky! I've been using clearblue, not the digital just the lines that show lh surge.
How old are you?

Which OPK are you using? And did your cycle return quickly after stopping the pill?

Hi Danielle - good luck! This us my first month too but no idea when to test because I've just come off the pill and have no idea how long my cycle is or even whether I'm ovulating yet! Think I'll give it another four weeks and then test if AF hasn't appeared.
