TTC #1 coming off the pill in December - anyone else in the same boat?!

Hi missclarke, it's so exciting and nerve racking! I desperately want to start trying especially now I've had that first period! May need to convince OH when he isn't snoring!

I've got a draw full of ovulation and pregnancy test kits.

How long ago did you come off the pill? Xx

Hi deborah Fingers crossed it goes smoothly for you! I'm still waiting for my first period after stopping the pill but we started 'trying' straight away so I'm completely unsure where my body is at!

Laying wide awake at the moment, head swimming with thoughts of TTC and partner snoring like a bloody trooper!! If I do have a baby I'm not sure how I'll ever get any sleep!!

Hi, we want to Ttc after christmas and have been on cerezette without any periods for 5 years. Due to worrying about my body getting back to normal and being able to identify conception (and my pack finishing) I came off the pill on 27th September, I have just finished my first period lasting 7 days and am hoping for them to be regular now and to fall quickly.

Having heard lots of horror stories from cerezette users I'm not hopeful for a quick fall but fingers crossed!

Evening all

Sorry for late reply - have just got in form work.......
So glad I have found somewhere to chat with others who are ttc :)

Hi Pinklily - I have ordered my wedding dress but have ordered it 2 sizes too big just in case, if I am not pregnant by then they said they can take the dress in so it fits perfect which is a huge relief!.....would be amazing f I was pregnant on my wedding day would really complete our family :)

Hope you feel better soon Runner :( Just make the most of the "break" as it were from work...rest up and take it easy.

Hello new folk - MissClarke and SarahLou :)

It's a good idea to get a few months head start on the folic acid before TTC Harriet - the advice I've read says to start building up reserves before hand so it's in your system..not that much longer to wait!

Still feeling 'weird' today. I've deduced that it's more than likely psychosomatic (spelling?!) symptoms that are nothing more than wishful thinking! So hard to objectively analyse things at the moment...

Hi to the new joiners.

I love how you're trying to find d somewhere to hide your tests. Mine are in my pipes of underwear hehe.

Runner I'm sure your whiplash is horrendous but I'm glad to hear it's nothing more sinister. Try hot baths followed by deep heat and/hot water bottle pain killers and bed. Not what you need when you want to be jumping on DH.

I agree avocado as soon as I read this thread i thought "That's exactly how I feel!". Folic Acid is a good idea

I've just ordered some OPK/POAS tests from Amazon..its very early days for me but I enjoy all the science behind it so will enjoy testing! Now to find a hiding place from OH...

Oh this is such an uplifting thread I like that I'm going to have an outlet for my obsession with TTC whilst remaining calm and cool with DH...also we're all at the start of interesting and varied journeys- thanks all :)
I'm going to start taking folic acid.
I want to get pregnant in January for a sept/Oct baby but life may not agree we'll see :)

Hi everyone, and welcome to SarahLou and Miss!

Runner - did they give you anything for the pain? Maybe lots of soaks in the bath will help too?

SarahLou - very exciting about a wedding. Have you found a dress yet? I suppose if you are going to TTC in the new year, you could be pregnant when you get married!

It must be frustrating having to wait. I think my OH would prefer us to wait a bit longer but once I have my mind set on something I find it really hard not to get on with it.

I must admit...there's part of me hoping that I fall pregnant in December, then baby would be due Sept which is perfect as I'm a teacher!

Harriet I feel exactly the same....just want these2 months to fly by so we can start trying! Would like to start asap but with my wedding I would be worrying if I would fit in my dress still haha! I did take pregnacare for a while but I found them so hard to swallow as they are huge, am just taking folic acid now which are tiny :)

Hope your back gets better Runner05!

Bunch your limp bunny ears did make me laugh. They're still infinitely better than anything I could do.

Hello newbies

The verdict on my back is whiplash. Feel a bit thick as I thought you could only get whiplash in the neck. My manager has made me take sick leave for the rest of the week because I can't sit down without being in pain. Not sure whether I'm happy to have the break or annoyed because I was going to work through it

Hello MissClarke and SarahLou!

Im starting to get fed up of waiting around to start TTC, even though it's only a couple of months and they will start to fly by in the run up to Xmas. I always spend Xmas day without my OH as we each go to our own families - I'm excited at the thought that next year we might be together for the first time as our own family!

I've just started taking the pregnacare conception vitamins. They are huge and quite expensive. I might get seven seas when this packet runs out. im sure I don't really need to take them yet but like to feel like I'm making some progress towards TTC!

Hello

We are going to start ttc our first in the new year, we were trying from Nov 14 til June 15 with no luck but stopped for a while as my periods were so irregular from stress at work. I have now changed jobs and am much more relaxed with a regular cycles of 29 to 31 days :) looking forward to getting started! We are also getting married in June so lots to look forward to!

Best of luck to you all

Sarah Lou xx

Hi Miss

Oh runner I hope they see to you soon.

I get all my patterns off Ravelry.

The ears need starching. If you sew them on right they're supposed to stand up on their own.... I think that means I didn't sew them on right.

Hi ladies, new here and jumping on a few bandwagons! :)

I stopped the pill a couple of weeks ago and we are "seeing how it goes". They're his words - I want it to happen NOW! Lol

The potato comment made me giggle - I never particularly like other people's babies but the thought of making my own is amazing!! Is that weird!?

So, I have no idea what's going on with my body as I haven't had my first real period yet...time will tell!

Need pictures of the bunny hat! Where are you getting these patterns? They're so cute!

I have now been sat in the walk in center over 2 hours waiting to see a Dr

Ouch Runner. Is it worth going to see your Gp?

On a crochet update. I've made a bunny hat now.... I'm really starting to feel sorry for my future children!

Hello ladies, how are you all doing today?

I'm feeling very sorry for myself. The little knock to my knee last night has resulted in a very hurty knee, hip and back today.
Really would like to go home and lay in a hot bath.

Aw Runner that's horrible! Glad to hear you're taking it easy, and being looked after!

Avocado I've just started the pregnacare conception multivitamins, but have been taking a multivitamin with folic acid for the past year (not for ttc, but just coincidence it had folic acid in it!)

Morwenna, I hear you. Convinced that my nipples have gotten bigger now! Ah well, just a few more sleeps to get through then I'll know one way or the other!

That was meant to be not ??

Oh no Runnner, hope you are ok!

I think ice cream is medicinal ??

PS - Catastrophe is on C4 right now, 1st series was hilarious!

Runner - how did you know I had a Chinese?! lol! Yes, dodgy spring rolls all round! Sorry to hear about the car accident :(

I didn't know the tww acronym - so many acronyms! I am exceedingly impatient Pink...I'm normally quite a patient person, so this is saying something! I also have an active imagination, so I think I've probably become hyper sensitive to anything going on in there...we will have to see.

Hello Avocado - I'm taking folic acid and multivits etc. and I'm trying to do some more running. It's....sporadic at the moment.

Oh, and I take seven seas preconception mini pills which are cheaper that pregnecare preconception and include folic acid and a few other useful preconception things. I also take vitamin C
