Hi,

I'm not sure if I can even class this as a cycle but I'm either hoping for a period or a positive test. I've been on the combined pill for 7 years and stopped taking it on 25th September I had a withdrawal bleed from 30th-4th Oct. I'm unsure if I'd even be able to ovulate so soon? I logged it on flo as a period so I had something to base it off and it's suggesting to take a test on 29th Oct.

I have also had 2 surprise pregnancies whilst on the pill which did end in losses.

I don't really know what I'm asking I guess more so just wondering how soon others managed to get pregnant after coming off the pill. Also, how did people feel at different stages of ovulation like flo is telling me if it was a period cycle I'd be 6DPO so typically how should/would that feel?

I know everybody is different it's just a confusing time for me as I don't know what to expect xx

Just seeing if anyone else will be in the TWW around the same time as me, had my period from 28th-1st Nov and according to premom & flo I'd be ovulating from 6th-11th. I'm still trying to get my head round all of this as last month I had so many confusing symptoms. I'm going to try not obsess over it as much this time round and hopefully not test too early again. Doesn't help that I've got adhd & it's like this is my new hyper fixation.

I’m going to be just less than a week behind you I think. I think I’m due to ovulate around 15th-16th. Also going to try and be more chill about it this time and not test unless my period doesn’t arrive. Famous last words!

Hey how’s everyone doing?

@MissBxxdo you think you managed to catch ovulation? Think mine will be coming up later this week. Feels a bit exciting to have the next opportunity coming up. Fingers crossed 🤞

Hey, I'm trying to not think too much into it this time round. I feel really excited but not letting myself get my hopes up at the same time. I'm hoping to avoid symptom spotting as that become such an obsession. Probably TMI but we both have high sex drives and usually dtd 1-2 times daily so I mean I'm guessing if I have successfully ovulated I defo would've caught it? I didn't buy any ovulation strips as I thought it'd be another obsession for me and I really wanted to be more relaxed about it all.

Fingers crossed for us all xx

I’m hoping I’ll be in my TWW soon, but I honestly have no idea when I’ll ovulate after my chemical pregnancy last cycle… I’m currently on CD24 and there’s no sign of ovulation yet 🙄

I got my BFP last Friday ❤️
this is my first cycle since my early loss back in late sept/early Oct so thinking I’m around 4/5 weeks on that basis with ovulating around 22nd October.
my fingers are tightly crossed for you ladies xx

Hey, just wondering if anyone else is in the TWW? I'm 3dpo according to my premom, I failed massively at using ovulation test strips and only managed to get 2 recordings but think it was too late and missed my peak (faint lines and low readings)! xx
