Help! (Cerazette)

Sorry if this isn't allowed.
I've read in so many different places that after coming off cerazette you got a withdrawal bleed, etc.

I've been on it for maybe 7 years?
I've NEVER had a "routine" period. I'd get slight "symptoms" around the 16th of every month but nothing in stone. Whilst on Ceerazette, I had small "periods" every now and then. My last one was October. I've stopped cerazette (2 weeks) and had everything from achey boobs, hanger swings, stomach and back cramps but nothing as of spotting.

I'm so confused because I know you've got that "fertile window" but when you've never had a routine period or ovulation chart, and you've been on a pill like this, what on earth do I track, wait for, do or pray for.

Right now I feel like my only option of conception is if I stand on one leg, hop three times and chant at the sky at exactly 2 minutes to midnight on a blue moon.

Please help, if you've been on cerazette but previously or now have irregular periods, because I feel like if I stress, it's less likely to come.

(Sorry if this is repeated somewhere [or not allowed], if it is please link me!)

it can take some times for periods to come back. it took me a full month but have read longer from others.

you could just have sex every other day anyway :)

I used to take cerazette. Was on it about 5 years. Took 7 weeks to get my first period after coming off it. I don’t know about ovulation as I wasn’t TTC. The withdrawal drove me crazy as I was convinced I was pregnant every other day!

I now have regular 28 day cycles.

I had no withdrawal bleed, a very light period after 28 days, then a proper period 25 days after that.

It’s impossible to say when ovulation will start back up - you could try OPKs or keeping an eye on your CM to give you a clue.

I conceived after coming off cerazette.

I found it easier to track cervical mucus while TTC. It was the cheapest and easiest way to detect whether I was likely to release an egg or not.

Hopefully it won’t take too long for you to conceive :)
