I will join you! Im also ttc no.2, came off the pill a few months ago, spent a bit of time deciding if it was the right time or not and of course its never the right time so off we go anyway! This is our first cycle trying and feel so much better now ive found this site so i know im not the only one driven nuts waiting! A week to go...

MrsElf · 01/05/2010 11:33

Hi, can I join you? Very new to mumsnet but booking drs appt later today to get coil removed. Suddenly very nervous!

Nicolaplus1 · 01/05/2010 21:09

Welcome welcome Bossy & Elf

I will just start by saying i am crap at all the abreviations and just like to use words lol

I am still waiting for period to arrive, thought it might have been 2day but no show yet!!

Am also a little nervous even though it 2nd time, am really anxious that its going to te months although i remember feeling like that 1st time round!

hello, i stopped taking the pill at the end of march and so had one withdrawal bleed then and then a "proper" period last week.

my cycle seems a little shorter than i remember when ttc ds although i suppose that may change.

I do seem to have permanent pmt now i'm not on the pill though which really isn't helpful when trying to get pregnant!

Nicolaplus1 · 01/05/2010 21:54

Hi nan i remember 1st time round having the withdrawel bleed then 1 period and then got pregnant the 3rd month using ovulation sticks, have just ordered myself some more for this time

OP posts:

NanBullen · 01/05/2010 22:00

Hi Nicolaplus1, i'm using opks as well! i sarted using them last month just to get a handle on when i ovulated and it turns out i don't ov until day 18 which i thought was quite late in a 27 day cycle.

anyhoo, could be different this month. i got pregnant the 3rd month last time too!

Nicolaplus1 · 01/05/2010 22:04

I was exactly thesame ovulated late around 17-18 i convinced myself i didnt ovulate for a day or 2 as everything you read says ovulation is between 10-14 das or summat daft!!

OP posts:

NanBullen · 01/05/2010 22:13

I know! I'm just going to try and chill out and see what happens this month. give my body chance to settle down after coming off the pill.

Nicolaplus1 · 01/05/2010 22:15

Easier said than done though isnt it

Is this your 2nd baby?

OP posts:

NanBullen · 01/05/2010 22:34

yeah, had ds 2 1/2 years ago now. we thought we'd better get cracking on another one sooner rather than later as we're not getting any younger!

I have a feeling it'll take longer to happen this time though. Probably because I'm nearly 35, and a lot tireder!

Nicolaplus1 · 02/05/2010 21:39

LOL i know what you mean the amount of time me and DH get to practice baby dancing concieving may be like themmaculate conception!!

Must make more of an effort i guess ha ha

Well anyway period started today so am now on the coundown to "special days" aka ovulation, DH aptly naed them these 1st time round.

MrsElf · 03/05/2010 14:59

Thanks Nicloaplus1, I'm glad I'm not alone feeling nervous, it seems weird that after several years of waiting for the 'right' time to begin ttc I am suddenly glad of any hold up! Now waiting to hear when appointment is, as the receptionist wasn't sure whether I need a dr, nurse, or both.

Nicolaplus1 · 03/05/2010 19:57

LOL i keep thinking about it all the time again!!!

Is this yor 1st Mrs Elf??

NKffffffffe749edcfX11d6d7397af · 03/05/2010 20:04

Hi - I've also came off the pill in March and we are now ready ttc. However, I'm having some cycle confusion - my first non-pill-induced period cycle was 30 days long. But my last one was just 20! I've never had such a short cycle. How do I figure out when I'll be ovulating this month?? I'm normally regular as clockwork...

Nicolaplus1 · 03/05/2010 20:59

Hi NK

Is this your 1st?

You will be regular as clockwork while on the pill as this will determine whne your period arrive.

Most things you read will say you ovulate between 10-14 days.

I figured out first time round ( with the help of prediction sticks) that i ovulate late around 17 days.

I would def reccomend them ive just ordered sum more for this time just in cast its changed lol

OP posts:

NKffffffffe749edcfX11d6d7397af · 03/05/2010 21:41

No this is my second and last time I came off the pill I went straight back to a 28 day cycle. Will give the sticks a try. Thanks and good luck.

Nicolaplus1 · 03/05/2010 21:51

I dont think your body ever completely settles down after a baby any way lol so coul all be different 2 nd time round hense why im not presuming i still ovulate same time.

Ebay is best/cheapest place there are 100's selling em but mostl all the same ones x

OP posts:

MrsElf · 04/05/2010 16:40

It is, what gave it away? The first time terror nerves?! Or is it because I'm clueless ?

Nicolaplus1 · 05/05/2010 20:26

Lol mrself i cant beleive how anxious i am again this time i thought id be more relaxed about it.

Any news on the appointment?

OP posts:

MrsElf · 11/05/2010 15:26

Sorry for going quiet, our computer was refusing to connect to the internet, which was unhelpful on so many levels!
All ready to begin, coil came out on Friday! I've no idea where I am at all though, having had light/no periods for seven years. The nurse said that it's fine to start trying straight away (and apparently if the coil came out for any other reason, they recommend no sex for a week beforehand, just in case). I don't really want to start playing with temperature charts etc, especially as DH already thinks I'm getting obsessed!

NanBullen · 26/05/2010 20:01

update - Just found out i'm pregnant and i only came off the pill in march! I thought it would take ages

MrsElf · 26/05/2010 22:17
