Did you ovulate 1st month off pill?

Just that really!
I have come off my pill 2 weeks ago. If I counted my withdrawal bleed like a proper period I am now on day 10 of my cycle. Thinking of doing an ovulation test from day 11-14 to see if I am ovulating this month, but it it unlikely until I have my first proper period, rather than the withdrawal bleed?

Now on day three of flashy smiley face which isn't filling me with confidence might give it till tomorrow then leave the rest till next month and hope my natural period just comes at 27 days to start again properly next month. I have the cheap internet ones I do them every day I assume they work but I havnt seen a positive one yet x

@RobynC19 @Liland thanks for your replies! I'm CD 12 tomorrow since withdrawal bleed so sorta tempted to do an ovulation test for the next few days, even though I think it's unlikely.

I got a clear blue ovulation kit but was gonna save that til next month when I'm more likely to actually ovulate. Rather than wasting it, o got some internet cheapies to try this month but they seem complicated!!

Thanks I have sort of told my self it won't happen this month so I'm not disappointed later

I don't think I did - I stopped taking cerelle at New Years and didn't get a bleed until the end of the month. I didn't get a positive OPK or ovulation cramps in January. I definitely ovulated in February though.

Good luck to you both :) Some people do ovulate the first month after the pill, so don't rule it out!

I am in the same boat came off my pill the 19th of May have had a withdrawal bleed and now on cd 13 from the withdrawal bleed I have had two days of flashing smiley faces on the clear blue advance ovulation kit but nothing on the opk strips I have been doing every day since coming off the pill. I'm hopefull maybe I will but I also feel like it's unlikely. Fingers crossed though let me know how you get on x
