We’ve recently decided to ttc so I stopped taking my birth control pills at the end of my pill pack last month (Dec 31). I did not start taking a new pack after my withdrawal bleed.

Because I’ve been on the pill for so long, I’m unsure of my actual cycle length. On the 21 day pills I would start to bleed about 4 days after I finished the pack, so my cycle was about 25 days, followed by a 5 day period.

Now that I’m ttc I’m unsure of what my actual cycle length is and when I should expect my period. I used the average 28 days and followed the glow predictions for this month but have recently (this week) started feeling some symptoms I don’t normally experience ... nausea after eating, sore nipples for 5 days and then today nothing, extreme fatigue and headaches, constant white creamy cm.

Based on the app i ovulated around the 21st but I could swear I noticed very thick EWCM around the 26th... (I actually was not tracking it up to the glow ovulation date so unsure what it was like before then)

So now I’m not exactly sure when I should expect my period.. or when I should test.

Interested in hearing from others who have recently stopped the pill... how long did it take for you to get your period again? Did any of you conceive shortly after or did it take some time?
