How long does it take to ovulate after coming off bcps?

I'd do Friday am personally! If that's not possible then tonight. Not a huge difference regardless.

Ok you ovulate they say after a positive opk, right?

**maidentomother** · January 14th, 2016, 07:53 PM

Yes, usually 1-2 days after your first positive. Sometimes later the same day or 3+ days after, but that's not as common.

That is up to the individual's discretion really. Personally, I think Mon to Thurs is a pretty slim chance of conception and Friday may be too late. When in doubt, attempt. You can get pregnant from an attempt too early, not too late though.

Yeah not a huge diff. either way so I'd try to err on the side of being in with attempt sooner rather than later. Later can be too late, sooner would stil be a chance of conception. If you can't decide, flip a coin.

This is going to be our last child and it's more important to me that we have a girl rather than concieve ASAP although I'd feel blessed with a third boy, I'd rather limit my chances of conception if there is a chance it could give me a daughter. I did put the attemp in on Friday. Our son was conceived either outside of my fertile window entirely or while pulling out so from our experience we conceived pretty quick at least 5 years ago so we will see!
It's not worth stressing over.

that's why I like having you guys decide when possible - everyone has their own preferences about sway vs. conception and I just like to leave the ball in your court.

I highly doubt you Oed regularly on the pill (I've yet to encounter anyone else who does), but I did want to mention the possibility no matter how rare. If you didn't always take your pill on time or skipped pills, it's certainly possible you've had an ovulatory cycle on BCPs at some point, but multiple cycles/regularly is unlikely.

How I got my 3rd boy, stressful times, vomited, looking back must have vomited the bcp! ops never mind my 3rd boys is so sweet!

BR, that's a determined soul! Generally missing just one pill and possibly not all of one isn't enough to allow O. Clearly your DS3 was meant to be.
