| Hey Chick only just read your post, not been on much lately. I came off pill this time last year and it did mess my cycles up to be honest. Had a most cycles since pill at 37-38 days theyve recently gone down to 33-34 days now though. As for ovualtion i dont know if i ovd first couple of months after stopping pill as never checked but since sept last year ive been using opks and i get a + every month although some months its around day 21 some months day 23 of my cycle. Without using opks id be lost! I use the clear blue digi ones, they give you a smiley face when you get your peak and then me and OH go for it around that time. Just been to docs and theyve confirmed i ov with blood tests so i reckon opks def worth a try if youre having trouble pinpointing youre cycle. Its expensive to start the first couple of cycles cos youre trying to work out your dates but after that i only use about 3 per month now.
Sorry if went off the track a bit then, just trying to help you is all. I feel the same as you, its nice to know the truth, just wish the docs warned us more at the time we took pill how much they can mess up our bodys! I was on pill for 10 years, think i wouldbe come iff it earlier if id known it wouldve taken so long for my body to sort itself out. Saying that ive got friends who came off pill and caught the next month. Typical! xxx |
