Hi all,

After much much waiting, deliberating over 'right times', coming off of nasty medication / mirena coil & finding a time we weren't both shattered from work...DH & I finally started TTC tonight!

Feel a bit excited, not scared that this could be the start of a long long process. Would love to chat to others just starting round about now & share your journey...or please direct me to the most recent thread of this type if there is already a better one (there's so many threads on here & I couldn't find one for people just starting TTC at the moment).

Xx

We've waited 2.5 weeks but that more because of the medication I was on. I'm
A bit apprehensive whether we've really waited long enough but heyho - floodgates are open now :p

All sounds loads more positive for you this time, isn't it lovely actually deciding together to try for a baby? My first was a happy surprise (the result of a rainy weeks holiday in a caravan in Cornwall!) and it was such a nice thing to actually sit down and agree to a second.
We're a bit older than you - I'm 30 - and DH is even older with two grown up DD's, and I admit he took some convincing that a 4th would be a good idea!
I has the implant out in August and didnt wait - just launched straight into it - but have had a few (ha!) issues with excessive bleeding since then... This is the first cycle that's been any where near normal. Now on CD 21, think I spotted signs of ovulation at the right time, and DTD at the right time, so am quietly hopeful.

Did you wait after having the mirena removed?
Maybe I should count this as the first cycle?

How about you? I think the mirena coil & implant have similar hormones don't they. How long have you waited since removal?

Hi there littlestgirlguide thanks for replying! It's so exciting, I'm just eager to chat to others going through the same thing!

I've joined the Nov BFP thread too, but (as I explained on there) I'm trying not to get hung up on BFPs, would rather take a casual approach so as not to put too much pressure on us...& chat to others TTC at same time along the way Smile

DH and I are 27. I've already got a DS who isn't DH's but he's basically a 2nd dad to. This is a very new experience for me...Previous relationship was terrible & ExP actually left me whilst pregnant, so it feels sooo different actively deciding to TTC with someone I'm confident will always be here for me / us Grin

Hello!
I'm on another thread too, but hoping that this
Month the dreaded nasty implant will have started to wear off and things might be more normal...

Do you have any other children, or will this be your first?

Lol sorry that should've been 'bit' scared rather than 'not' scared Blush
