    Stopping the minipill

    Hey everyone,

    I stopped taking the minipill 8 days ago, as we are now TTC! Anyway, i still haven't got my period.

    I just assumed i would get it straight away, but how does it work? Will it come depending on where in my cycle i stopped taking it? Could i not be ovulating still (DS is b/f, but goes at least 8 hrs at night, and around 6 hrs during the day)?

    I was thinking about charting to try and work out if i am ovulating.

    Anyone else been through this?

    Thanks,

    I would think that just like the normal pill, that you may need a little time for your body to readjust to not having it. I think it would depend too on where you were in your cycle as to when AF will come, but then because you are still BF it may affect it a little even though you are having big gaps between feeds kwim?

    Good luck with the TTC anyway.
