Hello, I am very new to TTC #1. This is my first month off of the NuvaRing and I think based on my current "schedule"

It will probably take some time before you have consistency in your cycles, however some women do experience regular cycles right away following BCP. This is cycle 3 off bcp, and so far it has taken 20 days for me to O these last 2 cycles. I think you're on the right track with beginning temping, but it can be hard to say exactly when you should O.

Hi, I'm right there with ya! Just got off the Nuvaring last month (actually only used it for a week- hated it and went back to bc pills). I also started my period on the 17th so am hoping for a big O later this week. We are ttc #2 and like you, with #1 I had been on bc for 12 years. You never know what your body is going to do after being on them that long, but for us, as soon as we got off we got prego! It may take your body awhile to get used to it or it may happen right away. Best of luck to you!

Thanks Everyone for the responses! I think I am just anxious to make sure I "work" right after having been on BC for so very long. I appreciate the info and kind words...patiently waiting for the "O"!!
