How soon after BCP can you o?

Hey all,

I have a confusing question. I took BCP (Loestrin) for CD2-10 because of cysts on my ovaries (I overstimmed during an IUI/injectible cycle). I went off then on CD11 due to persistent migraines. I adjusted the CD11 to be CD1 on a new chart. My RE told me to expect a new period to start...but it never did. Now four days later (CD 4 or 14, whatever way you look at it), I have EWCM.

Could I possibly be gearing up to o? I was only on the BCP for 8 days. Has anyone ever o'd within days of stopping the pill?

Thanks. I'm confused!

Em

Okay, so... great question! Every woman is different, however I have some significant evidence to compel you to BD with your EWCM...

I was on NuvaRing for 3 months... came off of it and was supposed to start the new BCP the next month.. they told me the NuvaRing would cover me that month since it prevents Ovulating ...well.. I conceived my DD 10 days after coming off of NuvaRing...

In January of this year I pulled myself off of NuvaRing (second time trying it was worse than the first).. and well.. I pulled the ring out about 2 days before I was supposed to O and we BDed during that time under the impression that there was NO way I'd O 2 days after the prevention was removed/stopped... I conceived again..this time it was ectopic..but either way...

You should BD BD BD... I am more fertile right after coming off of BCP/Contreceptives.. so you might too! Definitely BD!
