Hi girls new to the forum but didnt no where else to turn and google only gives you so much help lol.
So I already have an 8 year old girl, and have been on the pill since then. My husband and I decided next year we would ttc no 2. But only at the end of the year. I made the decision to stop my pill (cileste) in order to give my body a break....
I had a withdrawal bleed, then all that stopped and I had a period 21st october for 4 days, this would be about normal for me. Now i was due on 4 days ago, if had every single symptom of starting my period before this date but havent actually came on!. We had a few nights of drunk fun but he pulled out every time, wayyyy before he came. Sorry for the tmi lol. I'm just a bit worried now. I'm so tired and just want to know what's going on. I havent took a test yet. I did one 5 days ago as I had one at home but it was negative. Thanks in advance x x x

Hi @Lindsayrose. Im not much help i only stopped my pill at the start of october. I had my withdrawal bleed as normal for a few days. I think i ovulated two weeks after that then two weeks later i had AF. Very light though. So this is my first proper cycle off the pill (was on it for about 8 years) im due AF some times next week.
From reading other threads on here each person reacts different to coming off the pill. I have heard people say it can take a few months for your cycle to settle.
Do you know when you ovulated?

I think it's a bit of a guessing game.

I came off the pill 18th Oct had withdrawal and then had nothing since. I was the same before I had my little girl, went 5 months no af then got a bfp before an af .

I'm just dtd and then hoping I'll get some symptoms and a bfp at some point... deffo frustrating though

Hey!
If this helps, I came off the pill in June (cerelle) and have had dodgy cycles since. Some have been 28 days, some 43 days. I haven't a clue when I ovulate either.
I've just started taking something called Fortexa to help regulate my cycles, it's expensive but the reviews are good x

Hi all,
I just came off the injection in June. I've had No period since. Today for the first time in ever my boobs have been sore all day. Hoping my body is slowly resuming normal function.

Exactly. We never really thought about these things before hand. For individuals who are desperately TTC it's such a rollercoaster ride.

Normal service will resume 😄.

When I came off the pill @Lindsayrose also Cilest I waited 74 day post withdraw bleed for a period. I came off in January, cd74, 54, 40,40, 37 and am currently CD59. Good luck but don't expect to come off and have a textbook cycle. You could be lucky but chances are it'll take a while
