Ovulation After Coming Off Pill

I’ve recently come off the combined pill and have started ovulation testing as I’m aware my cycles are likely to be all over the place. Negative ovulation tests so far.

For anyone who’s been on the combined pill:
How long did it take for you to ovulate?
How long did it take for you to get your first period?

Thanks! ☺️

When I came off the pill the first time, I had a withdrawal bleed, then about a month later I had an actual period and then I got pregnant.
I’ve recently just come off it again in September and I had my period a few days ago so I’m expecting to be ovulating end of this week.
You might be better off saving the ovulation tests for now, wait until you have a proper period (which hopefully will be soon!), and then start ovulation testing after that.

Hey!! I came off the combined pill in mid July after 17 years of nonstop use and I had a withdrawal bleed in mid August and only just got my first period a few days ago, following a positive ovulation test two weeks before hand. I'm 35 so not sure if age has anything to do with it but hoping this cycle is a normal length. Hopefully yours will be a lot quicker!
