Stopped mini pill no period

Thanks, emmi! Yep, busy weekend!! Peak was on Friday, so I'm assuming ovulation within 24-36hrs ie Saturday, then egg lasts for 24hrs so I think it would be worth DTD again today....I'd be up for it but we have been DTD lots and I'm worried I'm wearing poor DP out!

Emma - good to hear you've had a positive OPK too, especially so soon off the pill. It's nice to know where you stand and that things are kicking back in, even if you're not actively trying yet

Good luck FlipKat! You've got a busy weekend then!

Good luck flipkat!! I think I got a positive on my opk on Tuesday night, have been off my cerazette since the 13th. Hopefully that means I have ovulated yesterday, will be keeping an eye out for af on the 9th March. We are not actually ttc until April, just getting back to normal before!!

Day 25 off Cerelle and I've got a peak on on the Clear Blue dual monitor! Hurrah :-)

This was after 23 days of "high" readings. I'd also bought some cheap internet OPKs (One Step sticks) so I could test in the afternoons as well as in the morning as apparently LH levels are best checked between noon and 8pm when they are higher. Saw a definite line last night and this morning it is much stronger and a definite positive. I've also been having symptoms for the last few days (breast and nipple tenderness, and some odd lower tummy pain) which must be hormone related so hopefully will make it easier to know that ovulation is on it's way in future. Having been on contraception for nearly 20 years, I had no idea what to expect!

Anyway, hopefully I should ovulate in the next 12-36hrs so I'd better grab DP and start DTD!

Hope you are all doing ok

Clear blue dual monitor! I've not considered using anything like that. You will have to let us know if it's helpful. Now that I'm on my period, I've downloaded the app Glow, so seeing if that's useful. Hang in there Kate. We are all so impatient! Spent the last half of my life trying not to get pregnant and now I want it immediately!

Hi Emmi, I think this is more likely to be a period as it is several weeks after stopping the pill, and withdrawal bleeds would usually have occurred sooner e.g. after a few days. However, it's not possible to say for sure that it's a period unless you'd tested and seen an LH surge.

My situation is similar to yours - I've been on the pill or IUS all of my adult life. Stopped the mini pill (Cerelle) on 30th January after my partner and I finally agreed to TTC. So excited!! No withdrawal bleed or AF yet. I'm using a Clear Blue dual monitor to see if I can tell when my cycle is coming back. I've now had 20 days of raised oestrogen (apparently!) but no LH surge. Wish things would hurry up and happen!

Good luck, everyone. Really interested to hear how you're all getting on!

Will just have to monitor it for a few days, work out if it's a period or a withdrawal bleed. If it's possible to tell?

Emmi I hope your feeling not too rough and I'm sure your glad you know where you stand now. Just reading back on your old posts there was that three weeks since coming off pill and period starting? That's pretty quickly. I took my last cerazette on Sunday 12th Feb and I have some sort of wierd bleed. Starting red and watery and is brown now. Not too heavy. Wondering if it's a withdrawal type bleed thing

Hi ladies. AF has come unexpectedly (and with a vengeance) today. Oh well, I'm not pregnant but now at least I know where I stand. Let me know how you guys are doing. Xx

Hi guys I came off cerazette on Boxing Day 2016 and it took 35 days to get a period. In the mean time I had a ton of "pregnancy" symptoms (sore boobs etc) as hormones were clearly readjusting. And I never had those symptoms previously in a natural cycle. Hope this helps some of you. Now I am CD16 feeling very normal.

Kate I'm also failing to distinguish between whether the symptoms are due to pregnancy or just from coming off the pill. Impossible to tell. Just a waiting game. Let's try to wait a bit longer to do the next pregnancy test or we will be spending all our money on them. Although I'm saving a lot by not drinking....

Thanks missisbee. It's nice to keep the hope alive!

I stopped cerazette in September after 5 years. After 4 weeks, no AF and negative test. 2 weeks later BFP. I'm now 22 wks after not having had a period since April 2011

Just too early for testing so nothing to worry about Kate. Interested to see how everyone gets on! I think this will be my first time off a pill in my adult life! I was also not a fan of the mini pill (only been on it 6 months). It was just a lot of spotting and never knew what was happening down there.

Laura that's why I was put on cerazette too!! Bmi too high! I flipping loved yasmin, hopefully I will be able to lose some weight and go back on after next baba. yes we are hoping to start trying for no 2. Ds will be 2 in March, if all went to plan I'd like to be pregnant April /may but who knows what will happen!! I've started opks already!! Lol.

Emma I was the exact same how weird! I have at least 2.5 years no bleeding whatsoever and now the last few months have been really hit n miss. Spotting here and there and it's been fairly heavy enough to ruin my knickers and go through onto clothes. Thank god I had a long coat on that's all I can say! 💁🏽

I used to be on Yasmin too but they took me off because I gained too much weight in a short period of time so they were abit reluctant to give me it anymore. Had the coil and that was awful so cerazette was my last option.

Are you TTC for no2 or just coming off it for a break?

I took my last cerazette on Sunday! It's been a nightmare for me, months of constant spotting!! Nothing since October and then constant spotting since the start of January!! So glad to be off it!! Will be following this thread to see how you girls get on and how soon af arrives! It took 7 weeks for af to arrive when I stopped yasmin to have my son a few years ago. Fingers crossed I don't have to wait too long!!

Took my last pill on Sunday 12th. Withdrawal bleed from Monday 13th..I can only imagine how long it'll be before the dreaded AF decides to show up. I've now just sold my house so got to juggle hormones, moving and attempting to buy another home, hen do and getting married all within a few months which is going to be fun!

Sorry to hear about the BFN on the test ladies..hopefully it'll be good news soon! 🤞🏼

I did a test Kate. It was negative. Super pointless. Need to wait. Need to get some self control on myself!

I think it's too early to test. Probably should wait until next week but I imagine I'll crumble this weekend if not earlier. I've bought some to put in the cupboard. Much cheaper getting online at least.
