Hiya,

Just been to docs today for blood test results and have been told that everything's okay and I need to just keep trying... it's now been five months and with only one bleeds since coming off the pill in Sept.

I've been involved in these forms for a few weeks now and have brought ovulation strips on the advice of some memebers. I'm using them every day, but my question really is when would I expect to ovulate in relation to getting a period? Would I expect to ovulate two weeks before? If so I've still got hope that I may ovulate later this month and at least have a chance of getting pregnant!

The ovulation strips are great, but like the pregnancy tests, it's coping with the -ve result each day (as opposed to once a month) that's getting me down a bit.

If anyone could answer this quesiton or is in the same position I'd really appreciate it.

Hi, I also stopped the pill in September and i used ovulation strips.
They expect you to ovulate about 14 days after the 1st day of your period.. which is also 14 days before you're due to come on ( if your cycle is 28 days ) but if you're irregular then it's more difficult to say & i think you're doing everything you can if you're using them daily. My positive strip showed up 16 days after the 1st day of my period and im 8 and a half weeks pregnant!
Dont give up hope! x

glad to hear all blood tests were ok. i used ovulation strips and didnt get positive result. period was due fri but never come. had brown discharge last monday to thurs then nothing. you ovulate about 14 days prior to period. but keep testing you should get a positive result soon. we still trying but no luck. been getting cramps but no period. doubt am preg cos periods are irreg usually. let me know how u get on x
