TTC #1 hoping for BFP before xmas.

I'm very much hoping AF does not turn up still. I have had regular AF for months now after having a baby last October and this is the first month it hasn't shown up on the exact day it was expected... Time will tell I guess.

purple I was only on the pill for 3 years and had to wait 95 days I agree with bluebird it us very random. I tested twice when AF did not show after 3 months and BFN. Stressing does not help but it was hard not to stress. AF will turn up.

Thanks ladies, it's good to have her back!

I really hope AF turns up soon for you Idle and Princess, it does seem it is just totally random.

Purple maybe just too early? Let us know how you get on tomorrow.

I know what you mean Pigriver, it's exciting but equally terrifying!

Great bluebird

It took me something like three months to get AF after I stopped taking the pill.

Thanks Freedom I haven't been on the pill for years but I suppose there are other things it could be. I'm going to try again in the morning and take it from there.

purple you cannot go by what was normal as our cycles are now controlled by us releasing eggs not drop in hormones because of lack of pills.

Hang in there

Still no AF here but just got a bfn. I am normally really regular so not sure what is going on.

Great news Bluebird! Idle, I'm also still waiting. Been 4 weeks now for me...

Brilliant news Bluebird!

I hope mine arrives soon, getting very disheartened. It'll be nine weeks on Tuesday.

So glad AF is back for you bluebird

Suebridehead I think I ovulate on CD19/20 ish. I have been temping which has helped me see when I ovulated.

FX for everyone else xx

Great news Bluebird. Now you can really get going!

Still no AF here, 2 days late now. DH has been away so hopefully going to test today...

Yay AF has arrived!!

I am on CD11 and am pretty sure I am due to ovulate this weekend. Started DTD in preparation and hopefully can manage a few times this weekend!

I usually have a fairly standard 28 day cycle but it was only 24 last month. ATM I am very excited by the idea of getting a BFP but really nervous...I mean this is it isn't it? Not more lie ins or lazy weekends!

Hi All,

Can I join?

I'm 25 and my fiance is 32. We have our wedding booked in 2016 and decided we want to ttc #1 before. I came off cerazette at the end of May. Whilst on cerazette I had no periods for the 3 years I was taking it. I have had no withdrawal bleed or af since coming off in May so have no idea at all where I am in my cycle. I went to the GP's 3 weeks ago today and she said there is nothing to worry about as it had only been 3 months and can sometimes take a while to get back to normal. She said to go back in a month if nothing had happened and then she will run some test's if I want.
I'm trying not to worry/stress out as I know that doesn't help but I can't help it! I'm trying not to symptom spot but this week I've had to pee more often than normal and have felt tired with a niggling headache!

Anyone with a similar story?

Creamhearts, I have longer cycles as well an it's so annoying waiting... Still another week :(

Just out of interest, which day do you normally ovulate? I think I'm around 18/19 which would make my luteral period very long as cycle is about 33/34.. Not sure if that can be right!

Is it just me or has mumsnet had an upgrade? Loving the new look on my android phone

FX giraffe!

Still waiting for AF which was due today here. I am normally very regular so I am feeling a little bit hopeful. Could be nothing though.

Hello to everyone new :)

I am on CD29 it is so annoying having longer cycles, I still have another week to wait before I can POAS, but I don't feel hopeful this month.

FX for everyone else xxx

freedom I read an article yesterday saying exactly what you've said! The doctors always seem to fail to mention how long after BC it takes for our bodies to get back to normal so it ends up with all these women like us not having a clue what's going on! As you say, had I known I'd have either had it removed well in advance or not had it in the first place. Ah well waiting game it is I guess.

Do you have space for one more? I'm on CD1 so now seems a good time to start. I don't think I've ever cried more when I started. We were going to wait but I don't feel like I can now my heart is else where.

I hear you purple I'm going to be 40 soon so sitting on the same bench as you. Gemerama82 I've just dumped the equivalent of the ice bucket challenge of baby dust over you FX.

Plus the fact that I am 36 now and don't want to risk leaving it too long...

Thanks Freedom I looked into this last time as I thought it might happen then and it is the same. If I am made redundant before 15 weeks I get nothing. But don't see what choice we have, I don't want the age gap to be too big which if I wait for the next job it will be. So the sooner I get pregnant the longer I can get paid for into the pregnancy. Hopefully redundancy pay would cover the rest but only if it happens soon enough...
AF is due today but nothing yet....

Cycle 6, CD28 and period should be due today or tomorrow. Fx and baby dust please everyone.

I know it's a long shot for us but I can't help hoping!
