Hi,
I've just gone off the pill (6 days ago) as I originally thought i may have been pregnant, however seems now that i have my period and i am no longer thinking what i was thinking!I will do another preg test tomorrow (just to be sure!!!) anyways. The reason i'm writing is that my DP and I have decided to stay off the pill for good as we would like to TTC in the next few months. We are getting married in Sept and ideally would like to concieve perhaps 1 or 2mths prior to the wedding or around the wedding anyway... (we understand it may take 3mths, 6mths or whatever to conceive)

My question to you all, is for those of you that have previously been on the BCP's and you went off them, how long did it take for your cycle to regulate and for you to be fertile again? I have heard some ppl can fall preg within the first month of going off, i've also heard some ppl don't get a period for weeks, others get a period instantly and it lasts for 8 weeks on end and i've heard that some ppl take a good year for their periods to regulate. I started bleeding 4 days after stopping pill and i am currently still bleeding (4 days later) so i hope it stops in about 2 days time!! (like a normal period)....

Is the pill out of my system now?? Or will it take months? I have had pretty bad cramping 5 days in a row (even started before i went off pill thats why i thought i was preg along with other symptoms too!!) must have been phantom pregnancy!!!

Any useful info or if you want to share your experience of going off the pill that'd be great to hear it. I look forward to joining the TTC journey with you all when the time arrives for us. In the meantime, if it happened we would be very excited!

Thanks girls xx
