My husband and I are trying to conceive our 1st baby starting this month.
I went off the pill on Sunday, November 5th and then started my "period" (withdraw bleeding) on Thursday, November 9th (4 days ago)
Should I ovulate 14 days from when my period started? That would be November 23rd.
I was thinking of taking an ovulation test 10 days after my period (November 19th) and continue taking one every day until I can detect my ovulation.
Any advice from someone who tried to conceive right off the pill? I talked to my doctor and he said its okay for me to get pregnant right away. So now I need to figure this all out!

Unfortunantly every woman will react differently when coming off the pill. Ovulation DOES NOT happen 14 days after your period--this is a common misconception. It happens 14 days BEFORE your next period starts. Ovulation tests could be useful but it could also get pricey if you aren't sure about when ovulation will happen. It would be more effecient for you to start charting your basal body temp to verify when and if you ovulate. Go to www.fertilityfriend.com and get a basal body thermometer--I got mine at walmart for $7. Good luck to you!

You want to get pregnant right?
So i think it`s much better for keeping you`re sanity if you actually just stop with the dates times and when you are doing any thing ,yes keep note of periods ,after that have fun keep with the trying and enjoy !!
Life is too short ,and you want to have fun starting a new life !!!!!!!!!!!G ood luck ,these things happen when you are most relaxed and out of the blue !!!
