Don’t think I’m ovulating at all

Hello,

I am TTC for the first time. Came off the pill last August, knew it would take a while to get back to normal cycles but has now been 8 months and I still don’t think I’m ovulating. I’m having irregular cycles anywhere between 35 and 45 days, have been tracking temperature, CM and more recently using OPKs and not getting even a sniff of a temp rise, change in CM or an LH surge. I’m finding it really stressful as I know lots of people who conceived after coming off the pill quickly, whereas I don’t even think I’m ovulating so surely have no chance! I know I have to be TTC for a year in order for the GP to do tests. I’m just starting to lose the faith, surely all the pill hormones must be way out of my body by now so what’s with the irregular cycles? Has anybody spontaneously developed a regular cycle late after stoping the pill like me, or is it a sign that’s there’s something else going on like PCOS? 😕

Thank you

The pill would have been completely out of your system months ago. I would go to your doctor and request hormone tests if possible. Although they cannot give help with ttc before a year, your cycles not returning is technically a separate issue so they might be able to do some blood tests to check a few bits out.
