I cant help much except to say when I was pregnant the second time I had no BFP for about 2 months even when I had a test done at the DRs I went for a scan in the end, I was 11 weeks gone I think the pill can cause all sorts of upsets to your routines

on the other hand your periods may be just taking time to get back into a rhythm

I said I wasnt going to be much help sorry

I would and then you could find out if it is the pill does cd 43 mean you are 2.5 weeks overdue your period

I never show as being positive till 3-4 on the home kits maybe they dont work on me !!!

I can't really advise as I have never really been in the situation myself but I do know that sometimes it takes a long time for periods to come back properly after coming off the pill. Certainly 43 days would not be unusual and I have read threads on here where it took several months. Visit the gp if you are unsure but she/he might just reiterate that it might take a while for your samples to get back to normal.

Hi pinkgirl when I came of the pill to try for ds3, I think it took around 40 days to get my first proper period, I was convinced I must have been pregnant! On the plus side, I conceived the next month!! DS3 is now 8 months. Will keep my fingers crossed that you get some sort of answer soon.

hi pinkgirl - i think i've posted on another thread that you've been on - i'm on cd40 today and still bfn's. Since having DS1 I've had three regular periods all at 28 day cycles as was normal before DS. Now, nothing...

So far I've used two x clear blue digital tests, two x tesco and two x acon early test (from access diagnostics.

The last two were more sensitive tests than the cbd and tesco but still BFN.

Ho hum...she keeps waiting...good luck to you!

Y'know, I know this isnt what you want to hear,

but when I came off the pill last time I had a normal 30 day cycle then my next one was 92 days long!

I wasn't pregnant, it can just happen after the pill.

But when my AF finally did come I got Pregnant 2 weeks later!

calsworld · 11/03/2008 11:38

D, I haven't been on the pill since 2005...got pregnant in march 06 and had no AF till Nov 07 when DS turned 1. Since then been regular as clockwork...

just crashing to say good luck to all and a note about hpt's...clear blue in particular!

Clear blue are deemed to be the clearest to interpret and are pretty accurate - but not when testing early!!! They are nowhere near as sensitive as First Response Early Response and some of the ebay cheapies!!

Clearblue tends to need 50mIU/mL before detecting a +ve whereas FRER is only 25mIU/mL (but can be as low as 12.5) and the cheapy ebay ones are usually around 10-15mIU/mL.

Don't waste your money on Clearblue until you are a certain as can be that you are 2 weeks past ovulation.
