possible pregancy, birth control, charting, please help?
Hello 
I was put on loestrin for ovarian cyst treatment about a month ago. I completed one full cycle on loestrin; took my last active pill Nov 10th and did not start a new pack on Nov 15th. While I was one loestrin I bled nearly the whole month. The only time it stopped was when I stopped taking the active pills, so really when i was suppose to get my "period" I didn’t.
On Nov 15th and leading up till that date, my partner and I had sex without any protection. We are not "trying" for a baby, but pregnancy is not unwanted either. From the 16th moving forward, we have been using the pull out method.
For the past few days I’ve noticed a major increase in discharge. It is white-ish, odorless, mucusy, and dries with a faint yellow tinge. I’ve had some other symptoms but all those of course could be related to anything else. cramps (cyst) constipation (traveling) mild nausea (cyst) etc.
I know you will not be able to tell me if I am pregnant or not, just by that, but have any of you gotten pregnant so quickly after coming off birth control?
If I never got my "period" on the birth control how can I tell when I might (have) ovulate(d)?
Have anyone else exp this after coming off the pill?
I was pregnant once before, about 3 years ago. I got preg while switching birth control brands. But that preg ended up being ectopic.
Thanks for your help.

I was on birth control (Ortho Tri Cyclin) for two months straight (I took the active pills for two months, without a break) and then stopped taking them March 10th of this year. On the 12th I had a withdrawal bleed and got my first positive test April 12th:) It takes X amount of time for the uterus lining to build up enough to the point where it could even accept an egg, and by my due date and all the ultrasounds, I would’ve conceived around the 26th of March.
They say there is an increased fertility when you stop taking the pill, but I think that really varies person to person. A lot of women don’t ovulate for months after coming off bc. I would count your first day of NOT bleeding as the first day of your cycle and then count your normal cycle days from there, give or take three days or so.
