When to test?
Hi Ladies,
I'm a newbie to ttc and this is our first month. I came off the Pill on 20th May and had my withdrawal bleed from 22nd to around 25th/26th. I have no idea whether my cycles will be regular or not and I haven't used opk's this month as we decided to just see what happened (if anything!). I am on cd23 today, so when can I test from? This month seems to have gone soooooo slowly!

I would probably wait till at least cd28, however be preparded for a bfn. When I came off pill in July 2007 it took until July 2008 before I began to ov, not that i'm suggesting it'll take you a year but my cycles went mad. Ranged from 37ish days up to 96 days, it wasnt until Feb 08 that they began to regulate a little.
Good luck though !

This is just going from my experience but I had to wait 4 months after coming off pill to ovulate and I dread to think how much I spent on pg tests during that time (at a rough guess easily over ??100) so unless you have strong symptoms (also be aware that the first month off pill you can get all kinds of symptoms similar to pg that are just due to body getting used to hormone change) I would test every week or so.
Hope that isn't a downer and on the other hand the majority of people do get a normal cycle straight away so fingers crossed you're one of those and you do get your bfp

Im in the same boat, came off pill 4 weeks ago and should be due my period in the next few days, but that was my cycle on the pill so god knows what it is now lol.
I fell preg with my little girl in month 1 so didnt have to wait for 1st period so kinda hoping its the same this time, but im not sure
Good luck hun xx
