Experiences coming off mini pill

[rupertbear91]

Hi everyone, please can you share your experiences of stopping the mini pill.
Any side effects coming off it?
How soon after did you have a withdrawal bleed?
For those of you who got pregnant how long did it take?

I am 4 weeks off mine today (after 3 years taking it with no periods) I got positive ovulation tests 8 days ago (not confirmed ovulation by bbt) A lot of cramping over the weekend but no sign of AF at all. In fact the opposite I have a lot of CM. I know I am being impatient but I was told I would have a withdrawal bleed within 4 weeks....

I had my first period on day 26. No side effects. Got pregnant on 3rd cycle after that first bleed both times.

I hear there is lots of variation, period not returning for 3-4months sometimes so you are not abnormal if you don't have it yet.

I didn’t have a withdrawal bleed and it took 57 days after stopping it in January this year to have a period. I fell pregnant after 4 months but unfortunately this was a missed miscarriage found at 12 week scan in august. I’ve found my periods to be extremely light and short since coming off the mini pill, and I’ve had very short cycles of 24 days meaning a short luteal phase of 8 days. Ideally I would have waited 6 months to see if my cycles regulated before falling pregnant but I caught accidentally. I’m now 2 cycles on after my loss x
