Just stopped taking the pill

Hi ladies,

So I was taking the pill for just over a month, stopped on the 7th day of my second pack. Had a withdrawal bleed 2 days later, lasting for 2-3 days, then had sex a week after that. It’s been 2 days since we tried, and I’m now getting what seems to be my usual ovulation symptoms.

So my questions are: could I still get a BFP if ovulation is starting 2 days after sex? And has anyone been so lucky so soon after stopping taking the pill?

Thanks!

I haven’t got any!!!! Damn lol! Xx

It took me about 10 days to 2 weeks to get a bfp because I stopped pill pack half way and had the withdrawal bleed but not accurate on dates I won’t know actual conception till the first scan I guess!!!! I tested last week and not really a line... although I tested on cheap Poundland ones and they aren’t sensitive... mr frer is dark now but Poundland ones are still super faint... I done on yesterday and think I’m going to do another Poundland one to see the difference.... xx

@rose2887 @MrsBrown28 I have no idea when af should actually be due after the withdrawal bleed, maybe another 2 weeks since I stopped taking the pill a week into the first pack? I'd try testing again this Thursday if I were you :)

@rose2887 I have no idea. My last pill was the 26th March I had my normal withdrawal bleed for a few days and nothing since. I’ve had loads of cramping like AF is about to start but nothing comes of it. I tested Thursday and it was negative but if I classed withdrawal bleed as a normal AF that would have only been cycle day 14/15

@MrsBrown28 have you tested? When is af due? Good luck ladies :) xx

@rose2887 @pinkshake This is literally my story. I stopped my pill end of March and had a withdrawal bleed 3 days later and now no period but cramping all the time
