NFP Question

Specific to those ladies who started NFP after being on BC, how many cycles did it take for you to start ovulating after stopping BC?

Obviously it will vary from person to person, but I'm just trying to get an idea of what to expect. I just started charting (literally this month is my 1st chart) and I'm wondering if I'll even ovulate.

Any input/experiences would be fabulous. Thanks!

    I don't have personal experience with your situation, but I've lurked on the Getting Pregnant board quite a bit for charting info and it seems that some girls only need a month or two to get back on track, and others take about 6 months. Most of them start charting as soon as they get their period. I have seen instances where girls have gone to their doctors to force their period because it just isn't showing (after 70-100 days).

    I guess it's kind of a wait and see game Undecided

    Thanks. I figured it'd just depend - I'll just have to keep tracking and see what happens.

    It really does vary.  I have a friend who was on the pill for the first four years of her marriage...  She and her DH decided to TTC and figured it would take at least a few months.  Nope!  She got pregnant the first cycle.  Literally a few weeks after she quit taking the pill!  We were are surprised.  So you just might ovulate this month ;)

    I was on BCP for about 15 years, just came off post-wedding.  I'm on my third chart and I'm pretty sure all three charts indicate ovulation.   I've been using Fertility Friend to chart - I purchased the VIP subscription - and really like it.

    i started ovulating right away, but my periods have been getting progressively lighter.  im down to one day periods now.  also, my cervical fluid was all over the place for maybe 5 cycles.  i'm now on chart 11, and i feel like i can predict my ovulation day.
