Hello all! I have a question, and I would really appreciate some advice. I only just got off the bcp a week ago (in the middle of a pack) and AF showed up today. So this is the 2nd AF visit I've had in 2 weeks! Anyway, I was wondering when most people begin O'ing after they get off pills...and if I should count my latest AF as the beginning of my "new" cycles and start the OPK in 11 days or not. Has anyone ever been in this situation? Thanks in advance for the help!

You should really let your body have this cycle to actually rid the bcp out of your system..this isn't really a period so to say...mostly like break through bleeding from the loss of hormones..I would say wait at least a cycle to see what you body does naturally before continuing on with the opk's...you more than likely will not even o this cycle due to the fact of just getting of the pill and this doesn't mean for a fact you won't...but I would keep it in mind..I would let the hormones leave your bloodstream and go from there...


good luck ttcing
