First month off the pill, CD39 - no period and BFN.. what's going on?!

Was wondering if anyone had some words of wisdom for me.. this is my first month off the pill, three weeks since we had sex in what I thought was my fertile window(DH works away so not many opportunities!).

So last Tuesday (CD35) I start to get some brown spotting so I think AF is turning up, bit late but never mind. Had a tiny bit of brown spotting on Wed and Thur and now nothing. Taken a few tests at CD28 32 and 38 test (used Clear Blue digital and a First Response) and they are all clearly negative.

So am I missing a period this month (I'm now on CD39)? Is it safe to keep ttc when my DH comes home next week or should I wait until I have had a proper period? Do you think it's worth a trip to the GP or would I just be wasting their time?

No idea if I'm even ovulating so have bought some predictor kits online.

I wish now I had waited for a proper period after stopping the pill.. but was too impatient and wanted to start ttc straight away! Any advice greatly welcome, I'm driving myself mad!!

I didn't get AF for 42 days the first month I came of for the pill.

I think it's safe to keep trying it just makes it harder to pinpoint when conception happened but scans can always help with that.

Good luck!

My first af was cd48! Will take a while to regulate x

First AF arrived six weeks after coming off Pill and next cycle was 45 days! Wish it would even out to a regular one.

A few years ago I came off the pill it took me 10 months to have a period. Iv been taking it again for about 6 years and then stopped my pill mid July and currently on day 53 and nothing yet! It can take a while for periods to return. 1st time I came off the pill it wasn't to TTC so I wasn't too fussed. This time, although we aren't trying yet, I will probably see GP if nothing by 6 months. Some peoples fertility returns immediately though so fingers crossed things settle quickly for you. X
