Ovulation after the pill - negative OPKs (no second line at all)?
We want to start trying for our third child. I finished the pill a couple of weeks ago (just before Christmas) and had a period (started 28 December 2011). Since about cycle day 9 I have been doing ovulation predictor tests (same time each day, in the afternoon) and have had NO second line whatsoever. Today would usually be cycle day 15 and I thought I would have seen my LH surge by now.
My question: has anyone experienced this after going off the pill? Perhaps my cycles just need a few months to get back to normal before I start ovulating again? I'm 34 so expecting that I should still ovulate for a few years yet!
I'm using first response pregnancy planning kit. It's a pee in a cup test. Not sure what strength they are. I bought some different ones at the pharmacy yesterday they are more sensitive I think. I have noticed some EWCM last night and this morning, so think maybe I missed it! Might need to test twice a day next month.

After coming off the pill, it can take up to 6 months for your cycles to regulate. So, up until then, ovulate may not occur or occur sporadically.
Also, what type of ovulation kit are you using? And, how are you testing (peeing in cup, on stick, etc.)?

I haven't taken the pill myself (I used Nuva Ring), but I have heard from many people that after coming off the pill, your cycles can be irregular for a little while. You probably need to give your body more time to regulate itself. Good luck!
