Anyone conceived quickly after coming off the pill?

I naively though you had to wait for first proper AF after coming off the pill. However, I came off Rigevidon 40 days ago and haven't had a period since.

I had severe cramps for about a week (thought AF but nothing)

I've taken loads of tests and they're all negative.

Should I be holding off TTC until my period comes back?

I didnt wait, caught straight away! Came off the pill and had a positive test 2 months later. Had to have a ultrasound to work out how many weeks i was as had no idea!

Yep concevied after coming off the pill before I’d had my first period.

Congrats ladies !

I’m just complete devastated as unfortately it not happened for me yet as I decided to come of the pill in September (20th)
Has a withdrawal bleed a few days later

Had my first period on the 16th October

So did an ovalution count of 27 days

And a second period came early than expected on the 8th November

So where to go from here

yep I got pregnant with ds straight away, didn't have a period at all after coming off.

Positive pregnancy test with DD2 happened 29 days after I took my last pill. Same thing happened to my best friend conceiving her DC2. It is totally possible!

I feel like my period is on its way today but hasn't showed up yet. Frustrating!!!!

Hi Lila, I posted in AIBU about this so thought I would come say hi on your thread here!

We seem to be in the same position, I still haven't had my period today although still feeling like it should be arriving. 40 days since the start of my last one which was probably the withdrawal bleed from coming off the pill. Did you have this?

Lila288 · 09/11/2018 14:25

Hi Cloud yes I had my withdrawal bleed then a few weeks later had serious cramping which I though was my first AF - but nothing came, and it still hasn't!

It all depends I think.

DS1 - pregnant before first period
DS2 - one period then pregnant (didn't TTC until after the period as suited our timing better)

A friend TTC as soon as she came off the pill. Didn't have a period for 9 months and got pregnant after 18 months of trying.
