Anyone else about to take the plunge and stop bc pills?

Hi freedom so pleased u have a supportive gp, makes all the difference. And gd news on tests let's hope they get to them bottom of it

Well ladies gp is sending me off for blood test. The works. Then if still nothing a scan. He's very supportive of my concerns so I find out in 2 weeks what's going on. He said he's willing AF for me so I can focus on TTC. Thank God for such a supportive GP.

Ha! I wish we had a chance at a bit of creativity! But our window is due to start on Thursday and we are going away with my parents and then I have the most stressful week at work ever. If we conceive this month it will be a miracle! Gonna have to just get in as many dtds as we can - plus have a go with our newly purchased conceive plus! ;-)

It's gonna be a few months before I'm looking at a BFp. Need to get back into my natural rhythm. Can anyone recommend the stuf DH and I should be eating/taking pre-trying though?

Good luck girlies, and happy trying ;)

How exciting rl Morgan, and catnip wishing u both all the best quiet agree need August bfp though mine not due till 21-24 chuck not stable yet. What about u guys!

DH and I had the talk earlier today. I've got a week left of my current packet of Microgynon, then it's vitamins and condoms until my first proper period. Excited and a bit nervous! Planning a house move next year too, and we were trying to hold off until after the move, but we both really want a family, so it's time to try :)

Good idea freedom a bit of creativity might just do the trick! Let us know how you get on tomorrow.

Im hoping a holiday and some R&R might do the trick for me. Off to Cornwall on Friday for a long wkend which according to ovia is over my "fertile window".

lets get on this ladies, we need some august bfps!

Hey little miss congrat and welcome. Only a few cycles ahead of u. Came off pill in May and we started ttc immediately this is cycle 3 for me after a v long cycle 1, shorter cycle 2,25 days and not cycle 3 cd 9, hoping to start dtd tonight - sorry if tmi

Hello ladies, can I join the group too please?

We've just got married 4 weeks ago and only been off the pill two weeks. Not quite ttc yet until I get my first period but just seeing what happens.

welcome to the group Luna I know how you feel I was bursting to tell some one but couldn't share with friends an did not want to overload DH.it's the perfect place to rant, offload or just offer encouragement to others waiting for their BFP.

Thanks for the support justyouwaitandsee, catnip85 and Katybear hopefully I'll have a plan after GPs in the morning. feeling bad for DH. Guys don't understand that it's not an exact science. He keeps looking at me asking "have we done everything right? is there something we forgot?"

Poor DH even offered to get the little swimmers counted just to be sure. I keep telling him to relax we can panic in October. At the moment I'm drowning my sorrows in Pringles and thinking about the birthday cake I'll make him on Saturday. Thursday is Hubbies birthday.

guess I'll be joining you all for TTC August Cycle. wishing everyone succesful or at the very least fun DTD in August. fingers crossed for all.

I'd like to issue a challenge/suggest we get a bit creative in August? After all we still have the house to ourselves, the summer weather is great for long walks in the park and we can have still have pajama days for now???

Welcome luna!

Chin up freedom im sure all will be ok at the drs. Let us know how you get on and congrats on your approaching anniversary! How long have you been together?

and welcome luna :)

Hey,can I join in?! I really want to tell someone but not my friend!

DP and I have decided to start TTC. Annoyingly, DP is working abroad so have to wait a couple more weeks before we can start trying but by that stage he'll be gagging for it .

Just wondering though whether anyone used Cilest? I took my final pill last Tuesday but started bleeding on the Monday before the final pill. Usually I start bleeding on the thurs or fri. By my own admission I was pretty crap at taking the pill last month, forgot or was late taking it about 4 times. I have now just finished 11 days of bleeding. Anything similar happen to anyone else?

Aww rubbish! So sorry Freedom :-( Hope the doctors visit goes well, I'm sure there is every chance they will say that it just takes a bit of time. Let us know how you get on! x

Oh how annoying freedom I wish you well with the gp. I'm praying I'm now in a rythem this is cycle 3 of the pill but we'll see

Hi everyone wedding congrats. In 6 weeks ill be celebrating my 1st year of wedding bliss. No baby news im afraid. Took test this monring and NO BFP.??also no AF. Last saw her in may so not sure whats uo. Off the the gp on Tuesday. Wish I coild say starting cycle 2 but cannot tell given AFvgss gone awall. I've always been like a swiss watch 28 days regularly. Even when I took a break it took 1 month to get back to normal. So frustrated right now.

Thanks guys in my ideal world we'd have a honeymoon baby (so I'd have an excuse to give it a French name!) but that's probably just very wishful thinking...

Hi teenie, welcome to the club. I went to see the gp b4 I started they said u can try straight away no need to wait. He said some people r more fertile as u say straight away but done aren't but that u could defo fall preg immediately. I just started ttc immediately currently starting cycle 3 so didn't work for me but it must for some

Hi everyone! I'm 34 and a newbie on mumsnet so I apologise if I'm not up to scratch with the correct acronyms and terminology :-) Myself and my partner decided we were going to start ttc about 6 weeks ago. I took my last Mercilon bc pill on Sunday after about 14 years on and off of it. I am currently having my withdrawal bleed and then will be waiting to see when my first natural period decides to show up. I'm not sure whether to use condoms until I get my 1st period or whether to just 'get cracking'. I've read that doctors prefer you to wait until you have had your first natural period so that they can calculate a more accurate due date. However I have also heard that you can be 'super fertile' when you first come off the contraceptive pill therefore you have a good chance of falling pregnant quite quickly... Can anyone offer any advice on this? I'm not sure what to do. Thanks in advance :-)

Good news on af catnip. Our cycles may well b v close I'm on day 4 today so depending on how longs urs our we might have same 2 wks window can try and keep each other sane!

Congrats to both of u getting narrow it's an amazing day

Indeed congratulations ladies, hope you have the most amazing days! Remember to take a minute with DH and savour the day- it goes so quick, will be over before you know it.

well AF has finally arrived for me which is good. Can get down to business properly now i know everything is working!

Ooh congratulations teachermummy and summeraupair! How exciting! Weddings as well as baby planning! Hope you both have an amazing day. I would give anything to relive our wedding day over and over again. It was just so, so special. So excited for you both!

teachermummy2b Next Sunday for me! Congratulations in advance

mzzzf I came off Cerazette on the same day as you, still no bleed but I'm with you on the headaches, so bloody annoying. I've got no idea when to start counting for cycles and things so I've just been playing with the Ovia app - when something appears I'll log it and let the app try and work it all out!

Cheers for the info lovelies! I'd kinda thought to count from first pill free day but good to have some others in the same boat.

Currently I'm suffering some cracking headaches, they kicked in on Saturday night and are still hovering. You just don't realize the changes your body has been adapting too when you're full of extra hormones! Although I was fine on cerazette it makes me think I don't want to take it again - if only there was a male pill!!
