Ttc And Stopping the Pill Early Posted: 07-19-05 23:21pm
I recently decided to stop taking my
combined ocp in hopes of ttc, but last
night and all day to day have had period
like bleeding. I was wondering if this
means my fertility days have changed or
will it stay the same. I had my
orgininal period on 7/8/05 and my o day
would have been 7/22, but I don't know
what to think with this current bleeding.
Pls help. And any advise would help.

I'm assuming when you say you stopped the
pill early that you didn't finish your
current pack of pills. If that's the
case, i'd say what you're experiencing is
normal...You made yourself have a period
again (when you're on the pill your body
doesn't know any different b/c it stops
you from ovulating altogether). If
you're actively ttc, you should chart your
natural cycle for a few months first to
guage when your most fertile days are
& to know for sure your lmp for date
of conception purposes (the doctor's
office will need to know about how far
along you are before your first appt).
Your body will probably have a little
different cycle (generally a little
longer) than the 28-day cycle when you're
on the pill. Hope that's of help to you!

Mandily I didnt exactly finish the pac. I
took a few the forgot for about 7 pill
when I looked last. I understand that
this is withdrawal bleeding, but should
this count as my lmp or is it just
bleeding, or is it going to be a problem,
so that I can figure out about when I
should ovulate again. Pls help again and
thank you it did help.

Well, I would probably count the first day
of the withdrawal bleeding as if it were a
"period" and try track your cycle based on
that. I don't think it should be a
problem...It may just be a little more
difficult to determine ovulation this
month. Otherwise you could wait until
your next period and go from there.
