Coming off of the pill

I was wondering if anyone could share their experiences on coming off of the pill and whether or not they started to try and conceive straight away? And if you did start straight away how long did it take you to get pregnant? I'm in this situation now and I'm wanting some insight.

Thank you in advance FlowersFlowers

Sorry, I should introduce myself to the overall thread (apologies for triple post!!!):

31 years old, 12 years on Microgynon then Rigevidon (which I think are the same active drug), came off mid-March to TTC. CD72 with no period but had first positive ovulation yesterday and day before.

Sorry but what does CD stand for? (guessing consecutive day) I have no clue.
Update I have come on my period so this is my first natural one after stopping the pill and having the withdrawal bleed last month. I was 10 days late but think that's pretty good considering I've been on the pill for 9 years.
My wedding was supposed to be this August but has now had to be postponed until next August, but we are going ahead with TTC so we shall see what happens

Hey, hope you don't mind me jumping on here.
I stopped taking the mini pill (cerelle) on 24th may, already had a withdrawal bleed 28th-30th so now just waiting to get my first proper period. TTC baby #2 Smile

Hi guys!
Hope you don't mind me jumping on here. I'm currently 25 and just starting TTC #1.
I was on nexplanon since being 16 but suddenly started having a period every other week. Prior to that it was usually 1 period every 3/4 months which only lasted 2/3 days. Went to doctors and had tests which we found out I had PCOS. So I switched to the Levest pill back in July last year. We have now made the decision to TTC as we are fully expecting it to take a long time.
I stopped the pill 29th April and had withdrawal bleed 2nd-6th May and just started first natural AF on 1st June. Shocked is an understatement for this as I've never been regular due to the PCOS (however I think the myo inositol I've been taking May have a part to play in that)
Wishing you all luck!!

@thunderpants5138 how did you get on with levest? I was so nauseous on it I had to go back to microgynon. They tried me on rigvedon too and that was the same. I'm 25 and have PCOS too so fingers crossed for us both!

@Serz88 similar to you, wedding postponed till June 2021.
Came off the pill April 9 (microgynon 10 years), had a withdrawl bleed, then a proper period 9th of May, been TTC this cycle, using only an app so Im just hoping I ovulated. My pregnancy test should be arriving tomorrow!

Serz88 · 04/06/2020 20:55

Good luck @blodyn91! Will keep my fingers crossed for you. In a perfect world I would fall pregnant within the next couple of months but I highly doubt it. Nothing else has worked out this year haha

blodyn91 · 04/06/2020 20:58

@Serz88 same here! Wedding- new house- OH new job all cancelled 😩 just hoping one thing goes right

Serz88 · 04/06/2020 21:18

Oh no that's terrible :( well hopefully we are near the end of this awful tunnel and there's a positive pregnancy test at the end of it!!

Thunderpants5138 · 05/06/2020 10:30

@serz88 I have been absolutely fine. Other than the first week off being absolute agony it was the answer to my payers in terms of being regular!

Chars84 · 05/06/2020 13:01

I had the coil in for 5 years got it out January and started using mini pill have been off it on ttc and was wondering how long should I expect to conceive. I dont have periods so really dont know if I am even ovulating or not I have 2 kids already and fell pregnant so easy with them

Chars84 · 05/06/2020 13:03

I stopped my pill same time and still no bleed I am worried I am not ovulating

blodyn91 · 05/06/2020 13:04

Chars84 · 05/06/2020 15:12
