Anyone TTC after stopping the pill?

[Nazz10]

Hi,
I’m a newbie to mumsnet and a newbie to TTC.
My partner and I are TTC after deciding to postpone our wedding to end of summer 2021 (was originally May this year) due to covid. Our plan was to TTC after marriage but we’re so impatient and thought we would give it a go now.
I have been on the pill since I was 16 (I am now 27). Switched to implant in October 2017 then got it removed in January this year to go back onto the pill. Anyway, I stopped taking the pill on 13th May. However... I had gone straight onto the next pill pack to avoid the withdrawal bleed 7 days prior to this so hadn’t had a bleed for 5 weeks. Had a withdrawal bleed 16th-19th May. I have been checking CM, no EWCM that I’ve noticed yet. Have also been using ovulation test strips daily and all been negative so far.
I’m using the Clue app (always have done since switching to implant to track periods) and it’s saying that I’m currently in my fertility window with today being my most fertile day yet no signs or positive ovulation test. Could the extra 7 days of pill-taking messed up my cycle more than it would have done coming off the pill?

Anyone else TTC after stopping the pill? Or have conceived? What are your experiences? Any tips?

@Geegee20 I was on the microgynon as well and like you said I would have a good 5 day bleed. Thats so weird its not happened as your body doesn't know you won't be taking another pack, so why now would it not do a withdrawal bleed?

My cycles came back fine after stopping this pill, I had my withdrawal bleed then 27 days later had my first period and I ovulated so hopefully you get back into a good cycle once you have your first period as it can happen :) xx

I know this is what I have said to the doctor, I told her its never happened before, she said dont look in to it to much, do a test, it can happen were you have a little bleed the nothing, but I litterly had abit of bleed Wednesday night when I wiped and nothin since, so am thinking am I already pregnant with not havin a period since 19th August... but I dunno if it's the tests I have the strip one was a pound haha so am thinking is it the cheap test, not picking it up am I bedt buying a clear blue one the wekeend an doing it again.. I just dont understand why I havnt had a period but getting negative tests back. Xx

@Geegee20 Its very possible you could be though, keep doing tests and see what they come back as. Clear blue are meant to need quite a lot of hormone to detect pregnancy but by the weekend it may show or buy the early first response kits from Amazon, they're meant to be really sensitive :)

Yeh its just a cheap pound stripes from b&m.o used an both neg, I will order some of those, see if that's any good hopefully by the weekend they've here an ill do one them it's so annoying. Am either really early pregnant or my period is going f to come 2 weeks late hahaha, I just so t understand how I can not gave the period from stopping my pill well a bit of bleed and get a neg test, but oh well am sure I'll soon find out in the next few weeks xx
