Hi everyone,
I have recently got married and we decided to stop birth control after the wedding. This would be my third baby but the other two were total surprises first month off birth control, so I haven't actively TTC'd until now! We were originally just going to NTNP but I just don't have it in me and want to TTC!
So basically I stopped my pill and got a 'withdrawal bleed' straight away but it was quite heavy an lasted a week (so almost period like really). I had only been on OCP for two months as before that I had a mirena for 5.5 years with relatively regular cycles 28-30 days.
I am currently on day 15 counting the first day of no pill as day one. I got a but excited yesterday and bought some OPKs which have been negative yesterday and today. We did BD several times last week but I was kinda wondering where to from here. Should I keep doing the OPKs each day until one is positive? How long after a positive opk are you fertile for?
Thank you
