Hi Ecto3788,

How long were you on the BC for? I was on them for 10 years and now on my 9th cycle of ttc. Most tests only show a positive on the day your period is due so best to wait until then :) I am due to test on the 20th so baby dust to you.

Thank you for responding kellycorvus
I was on bc for 10 to 11 years. Lol I never thought waiting for that BFP would be so hard. If I dont get anything by the 23 I will test again. Does ovulation test help any suggestions on those? Being on BC for so long I am lost on when I should ovulate or really any memory of my periods lol.
Good luck on the 20th baby dust to you!!!!!

It might take a few months to get o day right. I would start charting. You can get smart phone apps and ovulation dip strips to make life easier.

I didn't realise how hard ttc would be either. My dd was a surprise. She's 7 now and my partner isn't her father so it's been very hard.

It will probably take a while for your body to become regular again after coming off BC. As suggested by someone else, start taking your basal temperature. Fertility friend is a good app/website. Good luck!

Well thought I would give an update still waiting for my period took a test yesterday and thought I saw a positive but the test had all these indentations in it I haven't had any cramping and at night and in the morning I have been nauseous. I tend to over think things lol so I guess I will try another test next week sad thing I took a picture of the test so I could analyze it still have no idea
