Anyone going to be TTC in August?

If you take pregnacare, you won't need to take vit A and iron as well, as pregnacare contains those.

Vjones1985, I am defn trying for a baby this month...

Looking in to pregnacare now, never heard about it before. I take folic acid, vitamin a and iron
But perhaps I should try pregnacare

Thanks :)

If you're trying for a baby this month, then I think you're a member of the club :)

Hi all, is it possible for me to join in?

I am 29 years old, and came off the pill in end April and had my first normal period end may. We have first now started proper to trying to get me pregnant, and this is my first month where I have bought conception tests and tried figuring out the dates online
I hope this month will be the month
By the way I am not native English so not so familiar with all the activation yet
Hope I can join in?

Keden - that is exactly how I feel. I can't quite believe it's finally happening, after twelve years on the pill and no pregnancy scares whatsoever, I kind of wonder if something's going to go wrong!

We've just attempted a trial run* TTC# this month. I ovulate tomorrow and have DTD Sun, Mon, Tue & will try again tonight for good measure.

VJONES, I stopped taking the pill in Dec-12 after 7yrs on. I was on OrthoTricyclen Lo. It took 2months for my periods to become "regular".

*I say Trial Run because I just can't get myself to believe it will happen right away. I figure I've spent my entire adult life trying NOT to get pregnant, that it'd be crazy if it happens just like that! Silly, I know :-?

Ah right. Well, I'm feeling a lot better about coming off the pill after reading accounts on here - of course some women's cycles took a long time to return but it doesn't seem to necessarily matter that I've been on microgynon/ovranette for 12 years :)

I see. Well, I'm not sure when to test because, as I said, I haven't had a 'natural' period yet after coming off the pill, so perhaps I'll leave it about four weeks if AF doesn't appear first.

As for green wee, I haven't noticed to be honest! But will definitely have a look next time!

Vjones - your test date is the same as your period due date.

Ha I've heard of it going bright yellow but not green! I'm on Seven Seas Trying for a Baby but my wee is regular coloured I'm afraid

Thanks vjones1985 - good luck to you too hun
Not letting myself read any pregnancy/baby books yet as they' only make me more impatient... but I must admit I do get a bit excited when I think about the nausea/hot flashes etc and wonder whether they just might be early pregnancy symptoms, but I have to tell myself it's more than likely the hormones leaving my system (Nexplanon for 15mths, Depo for 6mths immediately before, so there's probably a lot of hormones to come out before I'm back to normal!) or the bloody NRT playing havoc with my mind (stopped smoking 15mths ago when implant first went in, been on about 20mg/day ever since, decided to knock it right down to 6mg last week so my body's probably in shock!)
Going to see when things start to settle down and test 23Aug if AF doesn't make an appearance first...
BTW Pregnacare - is it just me or does it make anyone else's wee bright green?! Sorry if TMI, berocca did the same and just wondered whether it was some sort of vitamin thing that causes it?! xxx

Ha ha, I'm a teacher too!

I hope I don't sound silly here but why do lots of you talk about testing on a certain date? I thought I would just wait to see if my period arrives or not..?

Im 26, dp is 32 we're ttc no 2, our dd is 3. I came off mercilon in June, my period returned after 25days and then we started straight away. We are now officially in our two week wait, roll on 11th August so I can test! We'll be abroad then and I've already packed four tests! Oh and an April baby would be preferable please spermies as I'm a teacher and it would be helpful to leave at the end of term!

Empricillavoss - what is Cerezette?

Hi crownjewels - we're both 28 and trying for baby #1 so lots of luck to you!

I'm afraid I'm already obsessing and can't stop reading baby books. They make me sad that I'm not pregnant and that I don't know what the future holds but they also make me feel more in control. Can't believe I'm like this in week 1 of TTC!!

Hi, I'm also 28 and looking forward to TTC #1 in Aug Had Nexplanon removed 26Jul and was informed by GP that most people ovulate within a month of removal, and some can take up to 6mths, reading some of the threads on Mumsnet some are reporting up to a year, so who knows?! I'm the impatient sort so hopefully it won't take that long, but it'll be what it'll be I suppose...
Has anyone else had any issues with nausea/insomnia/low mood immediately after having Nexplanon removed? Been feeling awful for the past few days (although it may be down to me having cut right back on NRT this pas week in prep for TTC?)

Good luck everyone xxx

Sorry, didn't mean to post twice!

I'm on Pregnacare too (as well as prescription folic acid because I'm diabetic). I'm excited but also pretty anxious - partly because I don't know what to expect and also because I'm a control freak so find it hard to deal with something being beyond my control.

Like you, I'm on the Pregnacare supplements (and prescription dose of folic acid because I'm diabetic). I'm excited but also quite anxious about it all.

I stopped taking the pill last week too I am 30 and my husband is 29 and have been on the pill (microgynon) for just shy of 7 years. We'll have been married for two years in November (and a couple for 7) and we are soooooo excited to start trying. I've been taking regular multi-vitermines and an extra folic acid supplement four about six months, and I will start on the pregnacare pre-conception his and hers pack this week. I've also come off my medication for ADD, so it all feels real now!

I will be if I don't get my B.F.P this month. I've been ttc since April. My period is due on Thursday if it hasn't arrived I will test on around Friday. I'm tempted to test now but I'll try and be a bit more patient. xxx

I don't know when I ovulate as I've only just come off the pill but am planning on doing a pregnancy test only if I think I'm pregnant. Otherwise it could get rather expensive! Sounds like there's a lot of us in it together this month then!

Yes, me too. I'll be POAS lots of times on 7/8/9/10/11th August! Thankfully I bought 30 very cheap tests online :)

Good luck all x

I'm taking pregnacare which includes my elevated folic acid. I've nearly done a month. Though think you're officially supposed to have three months in your system first.
