Hi everyone.
I just posted this in another thread and realised that it may be helpful to others who have been led to believe that ovulation can only occur 14 days before a period.
I started charting my temps after coming off the pill and I noticed that my system wasn't ready for a baby until eight months after I stopped it. I wanted to wait until I had at least ten high temperatures in a row each month before even trying as there was a risk of miscarriage if my body was still a hostile environment as a result of being on the pill.
Even then, my ovulation was quite late compared to what the books say. On the month that I conceived our baby my ovulation occured on day 19 or 20 of my cycle. (The 20th day was when I experienced the major temperature shift)
So what I am saying is, when the contraceptive pill is involved, give it plenty of time to get out of the system, and whether you were on the pill or not, if you haven't ovulated by day 14 or 15 it doesn't mean that you are not going to.
Hope this helps
