Hi usakiwi!
Such awesome news about you starting the baby journey.
Just thought I'd share my experience with you.
I came off levlen and was UTD straight away. My AF was regular when I was on it and I stopped taking it during the sugar pills (so during an AF visit).
According to my doctor though the pill was only very barely preventing for me (I have very low levels of something, not sure what, can't remember).
I had a lot of scary first trimester bleeds so it's possible that left over levlen level could have been contributing but not sure. Was pretty scary though (had to go for like 6 scans in the first 8 weeks!).
This time when I come off the minipill I think we'll wait a few months before actively TTC as I don't want to go through the scary stuff again!]]> Mon, 31 Oct 2011 10:16:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40855&PID=1403183&title=stopped-taking-levlen#1403183 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40855&PID=1402725&title=stopped-taking-levlen#1402725 Author: nannikin

congrats on starting the journey! i was on levlen for around 5 years, i finished my last packet and was lucky enough to go straight back to regular cycles. i was very faithful in taking the pill though and had very regular cycles while on it.

at my dr's advice DH and I waited out 3 cycles using condoms before starting TTC - and we somehow managed to get UTD first try so there's a happy story for ya!

best wishes - hope you are as lucky as me!]]> Sat, 29 Oct 2011 08:55:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40855&PID=1402725&title=stopped-taking-levlen#1402725 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40855&PID=1402688&title=stopped-taking-levlen#1402688 Author: epictraveller

Hey
I came off Levlen in mid September and am waiting for my first cycle to finish before we TTC, but its taking ages for my first cycle to end! So I can't tell you how long it took us, just letting you know I'm in the same boat as you :)]]> Sat, 29 Oct 2011 00:25:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40855&PID=1402688&title=stopped-taking-levlen#1402688 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40855&PID=1401923&title=stopped-taking-levlen#1401923 Author: usakiwi

hiya,
My husband and I have decided to try for a baby. I stopped taking the pill a week ago however I havent taken it regularly for a couple years and I cant determine when my period will be. I havent had my period yet since stopping the pill.

I was just wondering if anyone else has done a similar thing and how long it took you to get pregnant? Im just wondering if its going to take one month or one year.

Any other stories would be great :-)]]> Wed, 26 Oct 2011 20:35:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40855&PID=1401923&title=stopped-taking-levlen#1401923
