Any updates? I had AF last week so took that as a sign to get hammered at a friend's wedding at the weekend. Should be ovulating again next weekend and no bloomin family staying this time!!

Nishababy1 · 26/08/2013 14:20

I know the feeling I see babies everywere

Wineandchoccy · 26/08/2013 10:08

Hi all, I am 32 and DH is 34 been together nearly 12 years and we are ttc # 1. Came off the pill in June and had AF beginning of August and poor DH hasn't had a minutes peace since!

I was going with the 'if it happens it happens approach' but I am already spotting pregnant women, maternity clothes, prams that I like and oh so cute baby outfits!

Nishababy1 · 25/08/2013 17:23

Hi everyone I'm starting ttc next month anything I need to know

Irishdiscobiscuit · 23/08/2013 20:24

Hells bells that would just make me want to so much more!!could you not just have got him drunk?!

helsbells2609 · 23/08/2013 14:49

Hi guys!! I am also newly off the pill after being on for about 14 years, I think I ovulated this week (couldn't stop thinking about sex all day Monday then sore nips Wednesday) but my OH had his family staying all week so refused to DTD while they were in the house!! So annoyed!!

Refoca · 23/08/2013 10:13

Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to mumsnet too, currently in cycle 1 tcc #2 :-)

Irishdiscobiscuit · 23/08/2013 07:47

nope just 4 months although it felt like ages was pretty quick :)

RochelleL · 22/08/2013 22:34

hi, no i haven't yet. i had irregular cycles before i went on the pill so i'm sort of expecting to be late this will be my second af since coming off it :-S if af hasn't arrived in a week i'll be testing though! xx

MrsB2013 · 22/08/2013 22:08

Hi Rochelle

Have you done a test yet??

Hi Irish!! How long did it take you to conceive #1?

Irishdiscobiscuit · 22/08/2013 21:18

Oh am 31 years young!!!!

Irishdiscobiscuit · 22/08/2013 21:17

Mrs b I am a mrs b too! Ttc number 2 first cycle :)

RochelleL · 22/08/2013 21:11

hi all, newbie to mumsnet joined today Smile looking for some ttc buddies! its my first month af was due yest xx

VJONES1985 · 21/08/2013 20:50

Ah right, good point. The average number of days is 14 but I ov this month on cd19 so it depends really. The average cycle is 26-34 days apparently.

Kt1991 · 21/08/2013 20:46

Someone on another post reckons that they don?t work if you have PCOS though VJONES? Is it normally 14 days after AF that you ovulate? If so, will see what happens then!

VJONES1985 · 21/08/2013 20:34

Kt - have you thought of using opks to see if you're ovulating?

Kt1991 · 21/08/2013 20:30

I?m 22, but as I wrote in a post further up I have PCOS so unsure whats going to happen! I?ve brought a packet of cheap early pregnancy tests from amazon which i?ll use every month if I don?t get a period every month (hoping I won?t have anymore though!) Good luck to everyone!

VJONES1985 · 21/08/2013 17:35

Hi, I'm also fresh off the pill and I'm 28.

MrsB2013 · 21/08/2013 17:33

Hi fellow newbies!

I have posted on other threads but will join here too!

I am 32 and DH is 31, we are TTC #1 first cycle, am worried about my age, but we'll see what happens.

Was on the pill for 12years, had normal withdrawal bleed and started trying straight away

How old are you all if you don't mind me asking?

ChesterCake · 21/08/2013 16:25

I've had my coil removed today to start TTC number 2! Excited to be sharing this journey with you ladies!

Does anyone have any tips on using ovulation tests etc? DS was a surprise baby so I've never actively tried before and don't know where to start!!

Karmalaa · 21/08/2013 13:32

Hi all!

I'm new to mumsnet and TTC baby #1. Came off contraception on August 1st. Eek! I am super impatient and excited but not seen AF since contraception stopped so haven't started charting or using OPK yet. Done lots and lots of reading up on it all though!!

justb01 · 21/08/2013 13:06

Kt1991, started not that long ago, though already experienced some dreadful and stressful moments. Now I'm trying to take it easy.

Kt1991 · 21/08/2013 12:29

Thanks justb01 have you just started ttc too? Mine have been all over the place since I was younger Laura too so don?t worry! Keep me upto date both of you!

It may change your cycle, plenty of women say that their cycles are different after having a baby. But id doesn't mean that it'll be harder to conceive :) Just try to detect your O, and BD often:)
