Coming off The Pill

Hi everyone, so my partner and I recently decided that I should come off birth control and although we aren't actively trying to concieve - we aren't necessarily going to prevent it, and we would be really happy if it happened. I wanted to know what the process is of getting my cycles back in order to track my cycle and know when my periods will return, ovulation etc? How soon after coming off the pill (I'm on Lucette) did you get your periods back? And how soon after did you fall pregnant? Do I just wait it out until my period comes back? Any advice would be appreciated x

I came off the pill and was pregnant 2 months later with our first. Same again with our second 10 years later!

I came off the pill with my first child and ending up getting pregnant that month, however had an early miscarriage and then got pregnant 3 months later with my first now. Came off the pills again 6 months ago and it took 2 months for periods to go back to normal. On cycle 2 for TTC with my second one :)

I was on the pill for 17 years, came off to let things settle and got pregnant immediately (as in two weeks later). Healthy pregnancy, no issues.

Came off the pill end of August, a withdrawal bleed came maybe 10 days after and my period about 4 weeks after that. Actively trying to conceive since then, no luck so far.

On microgynon for 16 years, came off it and then 5 weeks later had a positive test, never got a true period.
resumed microgynon after birth and was on it for a further 2 yrs, had my first true period 4.5 weeks after stopping then a positive test the following month, currently 34 weeks pregnant.
