Trying to figure out if I'm fertile...while on HBC

I've lost it - or maybe I'm not totally bonkers?

I'm on the Implanon and pill (to control periods) and I still check my CM in some vain hope to see if my body is fertile.

I get lots of super wet CM during the month but no EWCM so my mind is all "sweet I have signs of ovulation!" except my body is chockers full of artificial hormones to PREVENT a pregnancy right now. I can't take OPKs, I can't temp, and I can't track my cycles.

I don't get normal periods, pretty sure I'm not meant to ovulate, yet I'm desperately trying to figure out if my lady parts even give signs of working properly.

I know if I have any problems then finding out now (at 24) compared to later when we will actively TTC (26 to 28) it won't make one diddly difference so I shouldn't stress.

My fiancé and I smoke cannabis regularly (we plan on stopping at least three months before trying and be cold turkey for a very, very long time) so if he gets his swimmers checked out the test results probably won't be accurate.

Fun fact: spermies take three months to completely "refresh" with a new batch in "normal condition" according to a fertility nurse I asked.

I think I'm just venting out of frustration. I want to know if I can have a baby but I can't really get reliable signs!
