Secreta
Could you guys help me out? I'm really struggling to figure this out.

I'm a young woman who really wants to get pregnant. My partner and I decided I'd stop the pill in April. I'm 24.

A lot of people around me get pregnant by accident or within 2-3 months. I'm starting to doubt myself now.

August 3rd: 1st day of period until August 8th.

August 29th: 1st day of period until September 2nd.

October 2nd: 1st day of period, 6 days late?

November 5th: period until November 9th, 7 days late?

When would my next ovulation be? One site says November 12th, another says November 19th.

I also bought ovulation tests (16 of them). When's the best time to start using them?

Thanks in advance

    After stopping the pill, it can take up to a year for your cycle to return to normal, and then it might take another year to get pregnant To get a better idea, you could use ovulation tests starting from day 11 of your cycle

    I used the Clue app to track my period, and it also shows the days when you're most fertile. There are quite a few fertility symptoms you can look out for, and I tracked those in the app too. After a while, I got really good at recognizing my fertile days and could predict my period perfectly, even though it was irregular. So no ovulation tests—just listening to my body.
    But every body is different, so it's hard to predict whether those symptoms will be clearly recognizable for you. And I had an IUD, not the pill, so that's different too. I even had my IUD removed half a year in advance (we weren't far enough along in the renovation to be thinking about babies yet) because I wanted to get to know my body again without artificial hormones, and then immediately started tracking those symptoms.
    Good luck!

    Just found out I'm in the 8th round here too! Half a year and that's really quite normal. In the 2nd month I started using ovulation tests, I was pregnant. Late ovulation (10-11 days later than expected), so those averages are just averages they were sometimes way off in the beginning! Good luck and don't be too hard on yourself, give it some time and enjoy the process
