CM after coming off pill? TTC #1

54 replies

Wondering if anyone is having or has had the same experience as myself?

I quit taking the pill on the 18th/19th of August, having been on it for 8 years with one break of 2 months (actively preventing conception by other means) where my cycle went back to completely normal (28 days I think)

Now I'm off again, ttc our first and I may be thinking far too much into this but I've produced very little cm, like none atall! I thought I'd be ovulating yesterday and I'm now having fainter lines on OPK's but no cm atall.

Has anyone else had this after coming off the pill? I know I've just come off of it and I am not expecting to become pregnant straight away!

[quote HeyDW96]**@RBCoxie I've had some twinges, mainly left sided pain and what feels like electric signals being sent through my boobs a few times a day (weird!) my face has broken out like a friggin margherita pizza aswell! The joys 😠

But no cm atall, and I definitely had ewcm on the pill! So hard not to notice everything now 🤦🏼‍♀️

@RBCoxie I have checked internally a few times, don't really know what I'm feeling but it's soft and spongey and some milky like discharge but nothing else 🤨[/quote]

Are you checking internally?

When I came off the pill I hardly had any cm. I started taking evening primrose oil capsules (and agnus Castus to regulate cycles) and it really helped.

Very similar situation to me - I'm TTC number 1 - I came off the pill on 3rd August (after being on it for 13 years), had my withdrawal bleed as normal 2 days later and have had much less CM generally as I did when I was on the pill.

That being said, I did have egg white CM (sorry, TMI) around my fertile week, according to the Ovia app, but it appeared a couple of days after I felt what I thought was ovulation pain when it's supposed to appear a couple of days before you ovulate. So really, no idea what happened!

I'm now on CD30 with very little CM and waiting for my AF to appear!
