Hi guys, 1st time posting but can't seem to find much info specific to my situation, basically came off the pill 7 days early on 3rd of Sept, had the tiniest specks of blood about 3 days later but have had no sign of what would of been a WD Bleed or period-has anyone come off the pill to ttc and not had a withdrawal bleed? Would love any advice atal. I know periods can take there time to return but I don't know if I am being a nervous nelly so early in this journey... thanks in advance x

I also came off the pill on the 3rd September to ttc for the first time. I had a bleed 5th & 6th but then nothing so unsure if that was withdrawal bleed. Just a waiting game now!

Hi Niccccx Glad to hear I am not the only one having a confusing time. I know ur cycle can take months to regulate itself I think the tiny withdrawal bleed is what has me stressed. But you are correct its all a waiting game... a very stressful one it seems

@SJTTCx I came off the pill in may or June (can't remember which one now!) and didn't have a withdrawal bleed. Had a period around 6/8 weeks after coming off the pill and now my periods seem to have regulated! Good luck Xx

Also came off the pill on 3rd September! My WD lasted a week though and then I think I ovulated after which is when me and DP started trying. I think it may have been a WD but for some reason mine lasted a week not a couple of days (like a normal period).

Good luck x

@SJTTCx yep I never thought I would come so obsessed with waiting! Good to hear other people are in the same position x

@line123eyesalways that's very reassuring to hear, I will try not to let the small things consume me ( although it is difficult). I really appreciate the information. Best of luck to you too xx

@Niccccx the laughable part is I had a low amh in December and had literally just organised to have an initial fertility check done! Yes absolutely because you read so much mixed info online but it's so easy to get stuck in a hole reading! I was on microlite for just over 3 years xx

@SJTTCx Wow no wonder it was such a shock then! I know I sat on these threads for hours sometimes reading all the bad stories so nice to hear some happy news for a change. I was on cerazette for over 10 years 🙈 xx

@Niccccx I can relate so much honestly I became an avid post reader way before I decided to come off the pill, I was making lists of vitamins to but that supposedly regulate ur period (Virtex) but please god this is it 🤞🤞🤞 You will get ur bfp, I'm sure of it! Is this ur 1st time ttc? Xx

Did you start taking vitamins? Iv not taking anything yet. Seen a lot of people on here writing about ovulation tests etc but so far just using apps but not sure how accurate they are. Yeah first time Iv just turned 28 and my partner is 31! What about u, is this ur first time? ☺️ Xx

Ino its so confusing trying to work out what's going on after the pill, I had no idea I ovulated just made sure I was using every opportunity 😅 I was using Flo too but was getting stressed after having no wd bleed and seeing you are XX days late 🤨 yeah 1st attempt, in just gone 32! U have time on ur side which is great 😊 its amazing how womens minds work, 5 days ago I was worrying about being able to have a baby, get bfp and STILL worry with every twinge! No winning! Yes I was taking well woman vitamins & COQ10 for egg quality! Xx

Iv got Flo and ovulate the apps but both say different weeks for my window so who knows 🤣 that’s amazing how it has worked out for yous 🥰 it must be so hard just not being able to tell everyone already lol!! I will maybe need to look into some vitamins and see if it helps. I can’t believe how 1 month ttc feels like a year already!!! Xx
