symptoms of coming off bcp for new comers

[crystlmcd]

Has anyone else struggled to ovulate after stopping BC? I'm day 29 now and I have yet to see a positive opk. I test twice daily so I doubt I would miss the surge. It's frustrating because there obviously is no possibility to getting pregnant if I'm just not ovulating!

Yes, my first cycle off BCP (possibly my first 2) was anovulatory. Especially if you've been on BCP for a while, it may take a cycle or two (or more) for everything to get back to normal.

I'm not sure that I am ovulating either, but they say it can take a few months. I've been temping since stopping BCPs 2 months ago and have not seen a spike yet. I haven't started using OPKs yet because I wanted see a normal cycle or two with temp confirmation before I spend the $ on them.

It's CD30 and I just got a positive OPK! I'm kind of shocked since I had sort of resigned myself to just not ovulating this cycle.
