Hi ladies

I stopped the pill on August 31st because my boyfriend and I are trying to conceive.
My cycle has always been very irregular, so I don't know what to expect regarding my periods.
We've decided to start using ovulation tests. When did you have your first ovulation or period after stopping the pill?
I'm really curious and of course know it can take a while, but I'd love to hear your stories

    I actually ovulated a few weeks after my last withdrawal bleed. My cycle was also 27/28 days. I did have some post-pill symptoms though, like nausea, headaches, and some spotting in between. Good luck with trying!

    That's great! Did you feel it yourself or did you also use ovulation tests?

    I used ovulation tests, but I could feel my ovulation. I just wanted confirmation that what I felt was accurate.

    Super! I used the ones from Action, but they were a bit too unclear to me. Now I've picked up the ones from Kruidvat, so I'll try those out.

    I used the one from Sensitest. Cheap and it worked fine for me.
