TTC First Time - Anyone else?

My husband and I are TTC! I have been off the pill for a month now and have started taking folic acid and calcium with vit D to ensure if anything does happen I'm as healthy as possible. Limiting caffeine and alcohol but not cutting it out completely as you never know how long it will take! All my friends have just fallen pregnant really easily, but I have a feeling this will not be the case for me. I can't remember when my last period was either which is annoying as will need to wait for the next one before I can chart etc. Hmm Is anyone else out there TTC now? We could all share our stories and encourage each other! Smile

Its very confusing isnt it. I was on microgynon but only for a couple of years. I had a regular cycle, totally normal, always on time or a day late max, and ivI've come off of it at least twice and always got a period 4 weeks after my withdrawal but that's me 3 days late now.

I have no idea yet...I was on cerazette due to horrendous periods but I've been on it for years so who knows what my cycle will be! :-( previously to that my cycle was usually more around the 6 week mark.

Flutter when are you due AF based on a 28 day cycle?

Futter · 15/06/2014 15:22

Hi kittenmama I've had no AF yet either after coming off the pill ... But boobs are mega sore today so I'm thinking it won't be long...

kittenmamma · 15/06/2014 15:13

Katy any update?
Still no AF yet but I did come off the pill mid packet. Not really sure what to think!

Hi everyone, sorry been a little absent crazy with work. I tested this am bfn, and ironically then started spotting at lunchtime. Not sure if it's af as more colour cm at the mo, maybe an implantation bleed I guess as dtd last night just in case got bfn. I think it's af though, have had stomach bug I thought since wed but maybe it's af symptoms god I hope not as has me flying to loo tmi - sorry

kittenmamma · 12/06/2014 22:53

Only cycle 1 after coming off the pull so that is why I'm not holding out hope. AF due tomorrow or the next day. Have a hellish weekend of work ahead but at least I'll be distracted. Have had a nice night with DH though so I'mpretty content just now :)

gemerama - me too! (AF not beers, though booze is actually what I need right now and fiance is out with his mates right when I need some company... booze in the garden it is!)

hopefully next month will bring better news (and no bloody period pain) for all of us ...

CD27 now. Having a proper down day, very depressed. Not really sure why, though im staring to wonder if it's just that my hormones have gone crazy after coming off the pill. Not holding much hope for AF not arriving.

Eurgh Rainbow isn't it the worst! I've decided to be a bit more constructive today and downloaded Ovia and am going on a bit of a healthkick.

Fingers crossed for next month for all of us!!

Fx for you kitten

Sarahg1 · 11/06/2014 03:37

hi all... my first time on here so I've come to chat! We are also trying for our 1st, AF arrived 3 days early today so I've done what all sensible women do and made the most of the opportunity for a big glass of wine, ice cream and half a tube of pringles to drown my sorrows. Trying not to get worked up about it but easier said than done... will be going into cycle 4 after AF. getting married in 5 weeks so praying that after the stress is gone I get my BFP.

good luck everyone!

LadyNovember · 10/06/2014 22:16

Wishing you all the luck in the world kitten! Crossing everything for you xx

kittenmamma · 10/06/2014 21:51

LadyNovember thank you :) I've officially bought my first pregnancy test! Got first response and am going to cave and try it tomorrow, as it's 98% accurate 3 days before AF, which is what I'll be. If it's neg I'll wait until AF arrives and if she doesn't I'll test again.

Katy I'm the same with not wanting to do it on my own but I think I will, I think I'll be quite upset and need a moment to myself rather than having to look strong for DH or BF.
