TTC after the mini pill

Hi ladies

I've recently started ttc after a miscarriage last October.

After the miscarriage I went on the mini pill for a couple of months and stopped taking this on the 1st Jan on the first day of my 'monthly bleed' (I still bled on mini pill but only very light and for a few days usually) after which I had a withdrawal bleed pretty much straight off the bat until 8th Jan.

Since then we've been actively trying every other day but I did NOT do any ovulation tests this month so have no idea when I did or if I did?!

AF would technically be due tomorrow if I were to go off my usual monthly cycle but for the past couple of days I've been having a LOT of watery clear or white discharge. As in enough to make my knickers wet and run to the loo think af had arrived (sorry tmi). I've never had this before a period before and so I'm a bit confused... Did anyone experience this coming off the pill or in early pregnancy (wishful thinking I know!)?

Last week I had cramps and the feeling of getting a UTI which I actually went to the Drs about but no infection according to their tests.

I've been getting period style cramps last night and today though so I suspect she's on her way :( although a no show so far.

If nothing after a couple of days I'll be brave and do test haha

Does anyone else feel it's easier to see AF than those big words 'NOT PREGNANT' on test!!

Loads of cm was an early symptom for me. Good luck.

Hi, thanks for responding!

Yeah I'm trying to hold off testing just yet. I'm avoiding the disappointment I think. Somehow I'd be less disheartened by seeing AF tomorrow than a BFN :(

I've read that the pill can mess up the timing of your cycle when you stop. Did you go straight back to your regular dates? I'm not sure if the fact I was only on it for 2 months maybe betters my chances that I'll have regular cycles soon.

I've ordered some OPK kits for next month so will be starting soon :)

Congratulations by the way!!

If you're due tomorrow it would be late enough to test.

I came off cerelle mid Nov and fell pregnant this month. Id have recommended using the OPKs as the minipill can make your body mimic ovulation so at least you'd have known if you were producing LH.

Good luck!
