Wow there is quite a few of us. Am I the only mad one trying for a 3rd?
Just bought some frolic acid has anyone started taking it yet?

I'm ttc no 2 Smile have been dtd every other day and I think today is ovulation day so will jump dp tonight then sit back and wait to test on the 11th!

jaykay987 · 30/07/2013 13:42

Sorry! Just re-read your message!

Are you excited? 32 on paper seems so old, yet I don't feel I'm late to starting a family. I only just feel I have everything else in life sorted out!

Do many of your friends already have children?

jaykay987 · 30/07/2013 13:41

I'm 32 as well.

Will this be your first?

coco808 · 30/07/2013 12:44

Started TTC for our first! Looking forward to taking the test on the 17th of August I hope. I'm 32 and already getting desperate for a BFP!!

And what were you taking?

VJONES1985 · 30/07/2013 07:16

Microgynon for years, then Ovranette. Does the pill brand make a difference?

Oh, that's good to know :) Yes, we're going to do it every two days where possible but it'd be nice to increase this when I think I'm ovulating too!

Hey I came off the pill in April and have had 3 periods since then. I was on it for about 10 years and the changes I noticed is that your periods are much lighter and shorter and my cycle was around 42 days so don't panic if AF takes longer to arrive! I thought I was pregnant straight away lol! We aren't waiting for ovulation week we are just doing the deed as much as possible all month lol :) good luck everyone! Come on baby #2 :D x

Good luck!

Yes, I am also planning to work out when I am ovulating by looking at changes in discharge (sorry about TMI!) but I don't know when I will actually ovulate, if at all, because I have literally only just come off the pill. I may not have a period for a long time but am trying to stay positive and hope that I have that fertility surge people talk about when stopping the pill.

jaykay987 · 29/07/2013 14:50

Ooh...forgot to add. I still have awhile to wait for AF, so won't be due a BFP til around 10th September.

jaykay987 · 29/07/2013 14:49

Me!

We decided back at the end of June to ttc, but due to the timing of my AF and an unfortunate hospital visit putting me out of action during this months fertile period, we will be cycle 1 ttc #1 in August.

Although I'm a bit disappointed we have "wasted" 5/6 weeks - I seem to have learnt a lot. Reading this forum, and doing the FF course has taught me loads plus I started temping, so I feel a bit more in tune with my body.

Fingers crossed everyone!

Vicky - every other day should be a good approach (I think). There's no way DH and I could commit to that all month with our hectic work schedules (!) but if you can - go for it.
I've decided to temp to try and establish my fertile week each month and we will just try to make more of an effort that week of the month!

VJONES1985 · 29/07/2013 13:59

I stopped taking the pill last week so August will be our first proper month of TTC. I am 28 and have been on the pill for 12 years solid so I'm very worried about problems conceiving (this will be our first baby). I've heard that a hormone surge coming off the pill can mean conception happens quickly but have also heard it can take one to two years for the cycle to settle down properly. As a control freak and a worrier, I'm already obsessing over this and scared that we will encounter problems! As a type one diabetic, I am already on vitamins and a high dose of folic acid.

Any TTC tips or words of encouragement? Am glad I have others going through this with me. Am I right in thinking that sex every two days is a good aim for conception? Thanks, Vicky

Sarahmains40 · 28/07/2013 20:29

I started this month so hope AF won't come in August. I was really excited when deciding to TTC I just hope it doesn't take too long because I'm obsessed already I hope you get a BFP Real soon xx

Tea1Sugar · 28/07/2013 08:51

Me for baby number 2! Should be ovulating any day now Smile

ELR · 28/07/2013 06:34

Me too!! It will be for baby no 3. Good luck everyone....

Neecole13 · 27/07/2013 23:05

Meeeeeeee! For #1. Just waiting on AF going away!

chilipeppers · 27/07/2013 22:54
