I've had withdrawal bleeding after stopping pill mid-cycle. Do I count that as day 1?

Question

& I'll ovulate approx 14 days later or could ovulation occur anytime? I'm TTC and trying to work out when that might happen.
Thanks for suggestions in my earlier Q and I think this sounds likely, so cheers Joanne for your helpful info.

Answer 1

You really wont know when your ovulating until the next period; its unfortunate you stopped the pill mid-cycle cause now instead of waiting for 3 weeks youll have to wait till your next period comes. You can always buy one of those ovulation thermometers and see when your ovulating?
GOOD LUCK!

Answer 2

I don't really know how to accurately answer that question because my doctor says you should always finish the pack of pills and then have your period and just not to go back on the pills. Then you still won't know exactly or if at all when your body will ovulate so its a good idea to wait for another period.

Answer 3

You can buy a ovulation kit from boots or on line, this will let you know when you are ovulating. You really should have waited till the end of your pack but hey we all make mistakes and we learn from them so just get the kit and you will soon know.
Good luck

Answer 4

You are not supposed to stop the pill until at the end of the pack. The pills are hormone pills and stopping in mid-cycle messes up your hormones more. I'm sure your body will regulate itself sometime to back to normal. You might want to call your doctor. My doctor also said not to try to conceive during the first month after you stop the pill as your chances are much higher for twins as your body is regulating itself.
