Trying to conceive after Microgynon pill

Me and my husband have recently been trying for our third baby. I came off Microgynon in July and had a period shortly after. I cannot for the life of me remember when the first day of my last period was; however remember being on on the 19th July. My period still hasn’t come and I have taken first response “6 days early” pregnancy test this morning- no second line! This is driving me crazy as I feel pregnant (although I now feel like I may be imagining this!). Has anyone else been in a similar position, or know if the Microgynon may have altered/stopped me ovulating as normal? Our other two children are aged 6 and 8 so obviously I have been taking it continuously for a while!

When I came of it my cycles went from 27-42 days until I got pregnant. It took me 18 months Sad I even had laparoscopic surgery to check tubes etc were ok - they were - I totally blame the pill on the length of time.
I didn't go near any contraceptive between my 1st and 2nd child and I conceived on 3rd month.

However I have friends who came of the pill and got pregnant straight away. I think it just really messed with me. In saying that I'm taking a progesterone only pill now as I couldn't handle the heavy periods and pms after 2nd kid

Sending good luck

Awwww good luck - sounds a nightmare! Think I may be in the same predicament! I didn’t have this with my other two pregnancies!

Hi, I came off the pill at the beginning of June and have only had one period since ☹️ It took 45 days and I’m now waiting for the second one, currently on 32 days. It’s so frustrating as I have no idea if or when I’m ovulating and the long cycles means I have longer to wait to try again. I hope you have more luck than me
