Coming off the pill

[Tans1987]

Hello
Hope everyone is well
After some advice please?
I did my usual 21 days on my pill in December stopped on the 21st as that was my last pill. Had a withdrawal bleed around 23rd/24th December which lasted about 4 days. We had unprotected sex on the 2nd January My boyfriend and I are planning a baby but not quite yet but if it happens it happens. So now I'm thinking could this have happened? What are the chances of this happening? As I don't know my cycles at the moment. I've always been about 29 day cycles. Thanks xx

We're just moving this thread to our Conception topic and giving it a bump for the OP in case anyone's around to help.

Hi @Tans1987! To keep the answer short: yes it's possible, but for many women it will take a while until they start having regular cycles again. When I came off the pill it took me 3 months or even longer to get my first period after the withdrawal bleed.
I suggest tracking your cycles with an app, and also if you want to have more accurancy with opk.
There are some threads with many lovely users here about coming off the pill with lots of help, advise and support - you're not alone in this journey :)

Hi @Tans1987

Absolutely possible. I came off the pill mid-November, no withdrawal bleed but did have AF 15th December. Ovulated 28th December and got a BFP on Monday.

Yep could have definitely happened.

Each cycle you have a 20-30% chance of successfully conceiving if you have had regular unprotected sex and in your fertile window.

Statistically, 80 out of 100 people will fall pregnant in the next 12 months.

I should add 80/100 people ttc.

Thanks for all your updates! Xx

I don't know when my proper period would be I stopped the pill on the 21st December... and my withdrawal bleed finished on the 27th December so I have no idea when my proper period should be
