Coming off my mini pill no withdrawal bleed

Hi ladies, I'm after some advice I came off my mini pill about 2-3 weeks ago, iv had no withdrawal bleed, I'm feeling a little crampy but nothing major, yesterday when I wiped after having a wee I had some egg white mucus and again today so I may be ovulating? But I just thought I may of had a bleed before now, anyone else experienced this.. I know when I came off the pill for my other 3 babies I had a bleed about 4-5 days after coming off the pill.

    Hey @Shellc81 . It can be normal for your withdrawal period to not come straight away. I remember reading on NHS website that is can take 4 to 6 weeks for the withdrawal bleed to even happen.
    Both times I came off the pill I had my withdrawal bleed immediately.

    Second time around I started using BBT to track my cycle. I had loads of EWCM for weeks on end sometimes lol but i wasnt ovulating.
    It took about 8 weeks for me to ovulate after coming off BC second time.
    Do you use BBT at all? Or OPKs?

    Hi sunshineB,  as I have only been off my pill for 2 weeks I havnt really started on ovulation kits, or temp, my last 3 pregnancies I waited until I had my first true period before I started tracking, this pill is fairly new to me and since I started it I never had a bleed with it, so now I have started with this mucus it just made me think perhaps I was ovulating🤷‍♀️ x

    You could be ovulating, but you might not be. 
    No way of knowing without trying BBT or OPKs I'm afraid. 
    I'm not sure how it works if you actually do ovulate before a withdrawal bleed or not 🤷🏼‍♀️ as I had my withdrawal bleed immediately so didn't ovulate. 
    Sorry I can't help further x

    sunshineB thankyou for replying, I'm just confused🤦‍♀️ as like I said to you with my last 3 times of me coming off the pill I had a bleed pretty much straight after like yourself, so it's all abit strange really🤷‍♀️ but when I had this mucus yesterday and today it got me thinking am I ovulating already.
