Hi, first time posting here, have no one else to ask really. So i have a nearly 2 year old, been on the mini pill since she was a newborn. Always had some sort of bleeding, was always told it was the pill causing bleeding, anyway now ive not had any bleeding since 3rd october, pregnancy tests are negative and should be positive by now if that was the case, as i did miss a pill on 28th october. Long story short weve now decided to come off the pill completely, ive not had it for over a week now and weve been sexually active many times, my question is, can i now get pregnant? How do i know if im even ovulating, do i wait for a bleed first? But im unsure whether i even will as i am breastfeeding still. Am i even fertile this sson after stopping the pill?

My periods took 3 months to come back after being on the mini pill but I got pregnant straight after. So I stopped taking my pill in the October and got pregnant feb. Now have my lush little 8 week old baby. I did start taking myo inositol powder and my period arrived 2 days later. Not sure if that’s coincidental or not but I was pregnant the next cycle.

Sex is usually a good place to start Grin

Seriously though, several friends who have come off the pill to TTC have been surprised how quickly it happened (unsure of mini or combined). You could use temperature or OPKs to track ovulation, or just try regular sex for a bit until you have a period?

DD1 it took just over a year after coming off the mini pill to fall pregnant, I’m pg again now and stopped the mini pill in June so about 4 months-ish?
