Stopped pills midpack- TTC

Good day mumsies

I am new here and was wondering if anybody been in similar situation before or what are your thoughts.
I have been on combined pill for under a year. However decided that it is time for #3 and On the 4th of May I stopped taking my pills (on 8th day into the pack). Three days later on the 7th I got what seemed like withdrawal bleeding, but quite light and only for one day so not as usually described.

Could I by any chance ovulate in those 3 days when I stopped the pills before the bleeding and conceived?
Or do I take the withdrawal bleeding on the 7th as beginning of my new cycle with ovulation coming up around 22nd May? I had very regular 28-29 day cycles before the pill and 2 of my daughters have been conceived first time trying.

I hope the above makes sense.

Thank you

You need to ignore the 3 days between stopping your pill and your withdrawal bleed.

The withdrawal bleed is different for everyone, but it should be counted as the first day of your cycle :)

Just be aware that your period will probably be all over the place for a bit, so you might not ovulate when you expect.

Good luck :)
