BCP and hormone changes??

[mummasbubbas]

Okay, I will try to keep it short. I was just wondering if anyone has experienced O by themselves when they initial stopped taking bcp to try and conceive?

DD#1 was with IUI and DD#2 natural conception.

I believe that I have only O myself twice without having to go on meds and fs help. First time I noticed it was when I stopped taking bcps when ttc DD#1 - about 3 weeks after I stopped I notice ewcm but I thought that I had an infection or something so I kept DH away from me.:banghead: Two years later and 5 iui's DD#1 conceived. Then next time was with DD#2 - when I stopped bfding DD#1- again about 3 weeks later I O.

MY Questions are for those of us who have experienced the same I was just wondering if you stopped bcp after your started the red/sugar tabs or if you stopped it mid cycle on the yellow/hormone tabs?

I am trying to trigger the O by myself thing again but can't remember whether I stopped mid cycle or wait until I had my AF and then never went back on them. I don't know who else to ask and I feel it was a sudden change in the hormones that made me O by myself
Sorry for the long story.

Hi there Donna,

I dont have an answer for you, but didnt want you to feel that you were being ignored. :)

Ive heard that a lot of women will ovulate right after going off the pill (after finishing the entire cycle with the sugar pills and af), despite not doing so for so long. Has something to do with suppressed ovulation that makes the body want to do it maybe?? I dont really know, but maybe let google be your friend!

Good luck!

Ohhhh...how nice you are not leaving me hanging. Thanks for that I just can't remember myself what I did as it was back in 1999. I will take your advice and give google a try but am not sure what to type in. Thanks anyway
