This cycle has been a minefield. Came off the pill beginning of the month. Yet to have a period, positive ovulation tests around the 7th. Pregnancy have been faint one day and negative the next so no clue what's going on. Meant to be having a camera down my throat tomorrow which they wont do if there's even the slightest chance I'm pregnant. Anyone else trying for a baby in their 30s/late 30s

Not sure where I am in my cycle as came off the pill 3 weeks ago. Yea no period yet, no signs either. I did get a second positive ovulation test about a week after my 1st one so its possible.
Yea I had a faint positive last week and now they are negative

Sounds like maybe just waiting for AF now I suppose! I got a positive OPK today so def trying to ovulate again this cycle! See how it goes… think this is week 5 for me off the pill!

36 and TTC 1st child.
I have PCOS so didnt even think I ovulated much but I seem to be quite regular and cried my eyes out when I first saw a positive OPK!
Just finishing my AF so we're about to start round 2 of this journey. God it's exhausting!
We're of a mind set of if it happens it happens but the more it continues the deeper you get. Trying my hardest this month to not get too caught up in the TWW... Good luck all xx

Good luck! We were like this with our first if it happens it happens, we got pregnant quickly but had an early miscarriage around 8 weeks, and then got pregnant quickly again and my son is 2.5 now! It def does get more intense the more you track etc and it quickly moves away from if it happens it happens! We’ve said the same this time but I still feel anxious for it to actually happen! 😂

Pretty much is just a waiting game now. My doctor did say it can take awhile for af to start up again after stopping the pill

Yeah it seems 1-3 months at least for things to settle down after the pill for most people!

yeah i think it depends what pill and how your body responds, it's taken me a lot longer this time to get back on track, but i have ovulated this cycle now, so we shall wait and see!
