Trying for a baby after birth control
Hi Girls... Im 23 years old and took my last birth control pill on the 12th June, i had my withdrawel bleed as normal and am not sure when i should expect my first period. My husband and i are activley trying and i am trying to take my BBT and checking my CM but finding it hard to read. I noticed on sunday that i was slightly spotting. Could this be my period on its way or a sign of ovulation?
We desperatly want a baby but do not have much luck with any thing else so feeling sceptical.
Any help or advice you can give me would be gratefully recieved!

sorry i can't answer your question direct about spotting, as i came off the pill 2 years ago now and i can't remember wha ti experienced. i'm sure someone else will have an answer though - everyone is very friendly
good luck to you and i hope you get your BFP soon! xxxx
CM - if you get one that looks like egg whites then that is a sign that ov is on it's way! the others types tend to change at different times of the month! It is definitely the EWCM that you should look for - when that arrives get BD!!
I was on the pill for about 7 years for my skin. So long ago i cant remember what my periods were like before.
Thanks for the baby dust xx
I really wouldnt worry, I watched one of the countires leading fertility experts on TV not too long ago and she explained that immediately after coming off the pill your fertility can be really high and then after first month or so it drops down and then levels off to normal after around 6 months. Best advice is try to relax, concentrate on keeping yourself fit, healthy, cut out caffiene (and cigs if you smoke). My best mate came off pill after being on it for years and got pregnant first month, with twins!!
Try to look out for the EWCM it will be about 10-15 days after 1st day of last period.
About the spotting, have you ruled out being pregnant?, somtimes you get spotting at implantation stage which is about 10-12 days after conception, I did for both my pregnancies. I also remained in exactly the same pattern for my period as when I was on the pill.
Well dont know if any of it helps, but good luck!
We talk about all the really personal TMI stuff on here- don't worry! I was on pill for 10 years, was extremely irregular before - could go 6mths with no AF - and I have had 40 and 48 day cycle so far!! Pretty regular for me!
Welcome! I just wanted to ask if it was Dianette you were on? I was on it for my skin (as well as contraception) too and had been for 9 years when I stopped it in January to start ttc. My cycles have all been different lengths since then (ranging from 25 to 31 days) but I feel lucky to have them back at all after some of the girls on here have waited months.
Good luck ttc and I hope you fall quickly x
I am in similar situation. I was on Dianette for skin and contrecepton and have just started TTC. I stopped the pill in April and had withdrwal bleed as normal. I then had another AF 2 weeks after, my last 2 cycles have now both been 28 days so am hoping am lucky to be back to normal. So this month we started officially TTC and AF is due this Saturday so fingers crossed. I was on Dianette for 8 years and when I came off it my first period was very heavy, I told myself it was my body having a good clear out!!
Good luck with TTC x

Good luck x
I tested this morning and got a BFN I have just been feeling so awful and the test I had in the cupboard just had to be used! I feel stupid now for testing early and wish I had waited so I think I will wait until after saturday when BFP is officailly late!! Let me know how you get on, good luck xx
Hope AF doesnt visit you sat!!
