TTC after stopping the pill

[Thorandluna]

Me and my fiancé are currently TTC baby no1. I stopped taking the pill(microgynon) in March. However since then my periods have not returned, I have been taking pregnancy tests every few weeks just incase I have ovulated and not realised, all tests have been negative. For the first 3 months I was taking folic acid, now I have switched to pregnacare conception. Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

With my first baby i got my periods back fairly quickly but with a very irregular cycle. in the end I gave up cycle tracking as there was no pattern at all. It took about 8 months to get pregnant I think. My advice is to keep going and have sex 2-3 times a week.

Thanks for replying! I think we will keep doing that for a few more months to see how things go before contacting our GP

Hey @Thorandluna - I came off the same pill at the same time as you and my period came back 1.5 weeks ago at CD141. It seemed like a normal period. I hope yours comes back soon and hope my cycle is more normal from here on out!

I came off the pill end of June, had my withdrawal bleed 3 days after stopping as usual and I didn’t have a regular bleed until CD40! I decided to test weekly after CD28 until I either bled or got a positive. Now on cycle two and hoping periods are regular. Hoping you either get your AF or BFP soon!!

Try not to stress about it, I know it’s easier said than done but it’s hard to say how long it will take. I was naive enough to think I’d be pregnant straight away!

Thanks everyone for replying! Hoping your cycles all return to normal soon too! Yeah I think I was a bit naive thinking it would happen straight away also!

I came off cerelle on July 24th, had a withdrawal bleed from 26th-30th and im currently waiting to see when my period will arrive, well aware it could take a while to grt back to normal but still hopeful it will be straightforward. We're not TTC until after our wedding (45 days to go!) but I'm wanting to get an idea of my cycles. Hope you get AF or BFP soon!

Ah hopefully it will come quick for you, Early congratulations for your wedding! We were meant to get married in July but we’ve had to postpone until July next year. Our original plan was to TTC after the wedding but we just couldn’t wait that long🙈
