BCP & OPK & diet question

[dreams529]

Hello all! Ok been gone for awhile dealing with life & put all sway stuff on hold. Baby fever has officially taken back over & I am ready to start all over again.

Hoping someone can answer this for me. I am on the mini pill which if I understand it correctly I should still ovulate while on it. My cycles have been all over the place. Had 2 AF's in April than waited 36 days before I had AF in June & I'm now on day 29 & no AF again. So at this point I have no idea when I O. In week 4 of my pills planning on taking one more pack, so, can/should I use OPK's to try to figure out when I O on this next cycle to help me better plan for the following cycle? Will they work while on the pill & is it even worth it cause who knows what will happen when I get back off the pill.

On diet, been on & off a LE type diet for the past 2 months. Nothing consistent been up& down the same few lbs cause of to many off diet days. I do have a good amount of weight I can afford to loose. If I get consistent now keeping in mind AF should come anytime & I want to wait 1 more full cycle is that enough time on diet. Really feel the need to get a move on here. I have put my sway off for almost a year DO NOT want to wait any longer but would love to give myself the best odds.

As always thanks for any advice. Waiting for Friday to order a custom sway plan but like I said totally feeling baby fever so I hoped to be able to pick your brains in the meantime!

Bump but never mind on the diet part. AF finally came & my projected O days for Aug are when my DH is away. Looks like first attempt will be in Sept giving me plenty of time for diet. Still really wondering if anyone has had experience with charting O while on BCP?

you can't chart O while on BCP. save your effort and your opks for once you stop them.

Kind of had a feeling that might be the case. Thank you!!

I was just going to ask a similar question. I have never been on bc and intentionally stop to get pregnant. So with that said should I stop the colored pills (iron) the ones you take during your period, after aunt flow? Just not Start a new pack. And start doing opks immediately? Sorry to ask this question on your post, it's related to yours in a sense.

I'm on the mini pill so all of my pills are the same. My dr recommends I just finish my pack & not start a new one. Hope someone might have more info for you.
