TTC after coming off the mini pill

Hi mums. Going a bit stir crazy here.
We are TTC our second baby. Before my first I was on combined pill and always had a withdrawal bleed within a couple of days after stopping so could track ovulation and try.
However after having my first I was switched to the mini pill because of breastfeeding and all was fine. When I stopped breastfeeding I was constantly spotting on the pill and everything was so irregular. GP then prescribed me a second mini pill so I took two pills every night and things stopped. Now, about 3 months after taking two mini pills (and just over a year after starting it) I have come off it to TTC. I stopped over 3 weeks ago buttttttt I have absolutely nothing. No withdrawal bleed. Have taken ovulation tests which are negative. Have also taken a few pregnancy tests, also negative. Partner and I have been having unprotected sex as wanting something to happen.
Now I just feel overall crap. I'm full of symptoms. Nausea. Lower back pain. Discharge but still no period.
Now, for the past two days I've been getting a very tight feeling at the bottom of my stomach. I can't explain it as pain, it's just a tight discomfort. Took a PT two days ago and was negative so don't want to keep taking as it's too depressing. .I'm just so confused if it's just my hormones getting back to normal after the mini pill .
Not even sure what I'm asking! Should I be patient and just wait for a period? Can I still be ovulating??!! When to call doc as where the heck is my period if I'm not pregnant?? Urgggg

Hi @FreshRoseBunch 👋
I have also stopped the mini pill to start TTC baby number 2. Like you I was previously on the combined pill before my DS and would have a withdrawal bleed within days, but that doesn't seem the case with the mini pill. Admittedly you have been more patient than me as I think I'm only on day 8/9 since i stopped. I did have some strange spotting the other week and didn't think much of it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hi @lifefromhome
Thank you for replying!! So funny you're in the exact same position!! Your spotting is more than I had! Feel like I'd be reassured by that.

Little update on my part...no period but took an ovulation test yesterday which was positive (!) So we did the deed last night. Keeping everything crossed! Will be so odd getting pregnant having not have a period. How do you even predict due date (getting ahead of myself here!)

Good luck and I'll keep you posted

That's great about your ovulation test @FreshRoseBunch 🤞🏻🤞🏻 I need to invest in some more ovulation tests, although I got pretty hung up with them last time so will try hold off as long as possible.
