Really confused

[mum2rclp]

Hi ladies,

Well im totally confused.

I came off my pill on the 25th aug, had a 2 day withdrawal bleed and was told to start counting my cycle days from the withdrawal bleed, not my last period bleed.

If I counted from my period when I was on my pill (which obv I am aware is not a real period) then I would be on CD 25.

If I counted from the withdrawal bleed then I would be on CD 14.

On the 4th sept I had stringy EWCM and assume that I may well have been ovulating on, around or on that day.

I have been experiencing creamy coloured CM ever since.

I am really confused by it all now and am not sure what cycle day im on.

Can anyone help me out with this one.

I keep reading all sorts and looks like if I was on CD14 then I prob wouldnt have ovulated?????????? x x

I'm on my first cycle off of the pill and I am certain you count from the first day of your withdrawal bleed if your not planning to wait until after a real AF. I've done quite a bit of reading around TTC straight off of the pill and it seems there is only a 50% chance of ovulating first cycle and most women who do ovulate seem to be later into the cycle (so past the average 14 days). I've been getting positives for LH since CD16 with the strongest yesterday. Coupled with other symptoms I believe that was when I ovulated.

I had lots of EWCM on CD13 & 14 but am pretty sure I didn't ovulate then (OPKs very negative). It seems it isn't uncommon to get fertile CM before ovulation but it is more unusual afterwards.

PS: Is 25th when your withdrawal bleed actually started? Mine started on 26th and I'm on CD18 now.
