Hello there

Is there anyone else on here trying for their first baby around the same age as me? 25/26? Would love to talk to someone about it as I am currently driving my husband mad with all the TTC chat!

Well my DP works away but is home Friday-Monday (apparently my ovulation day should be Sunday but that's just a guess!)
So we'll be spending the weekend curled up in bed!

Ironically mine didn't come today so is therefore late. Test first thing this morning was still negative so I am impatiently waiting for period to come so I can try again!

Oh yes of course about the ovulation. Silly me. I test everyday when I'm supposed to be ovulating but have never had a positive so far...I assume I am ovulating at some point as I did have a natural period last month. Good luck everyone trying this cycle - I'll take one more test tomorrow to be doubly sure as that's the day my period is actually due but otherwise looks like it's cycle three for me as well!

Good luck everyone! I hope your periods all come soon for those waiting from the pill. Mine took about 4 weeks and then I had two more periods only 2-3 weeks apart. Although my cousin recently came off the pill and couldn't understand why she hadn't had a bleed after 4 weeks... BFP! Lucky bugger Wink I'm CD16 now. Ovulated on Friday on CD13 so just waiting out the 2 weeks.

Can I join??
It's my first time TTC at the grand old age of 38!
I was with my husband for 13yrs who strongly didn't want children...now with my new DP who's 40 and we have both discovered we'd actually love to have a baby together.
We moved in together a month ago and I stopped taking the pill 2wks ago and already had a bleed.
We have sex 2-3 times a day usually (he works 4 on/4 off) so don't see each other every day.
Hoping to keep it all casual if possible and just enjoy each other whilst hoping for the best without the pressure of testing/tracking/charting!

Good luck to everyone!

Btw, and tmi, but my nipples are super sore. Never had that before. Or atleast i cant remember (last period being 12+ years ago!) goodluck ladies

Hello! Im 30 and ttc #1. Been off the mini pill for 13 days. So far had all the symptoms that af is coming and yet nothing. Infuriating after spotting quite often when ON the pill haha. Had positive opk last friday but then bad cramping for two days. Going to the loo 10x more often just to check af hasnt started...going mental already. Haha Confused

MrsG280516 · 08/11/2016 19:14

I got my period late yesterday so definitely onto cycle 2 now. Ovulation occurs around 14 days from the start of your period, not from the end. If you count the first day of bleeding as CD1, ovulation usually happens around CD12-18.

alwaysnumber1 · 08/11/2016 17:53

Im trying lol but knowing that once AF is here and done with we will be ttc makes it hard to be patient

You could get it as you normally would. Though you may not get a withdrawal bleed if you finished early as not everyone does. I'd just have unprotected sex anyway as you could still get pregnant and then wait for your first period to come. Meanwhile test for ovulation!

Thanks so much mrsjkerry! That makes much more sense! Lol! When should I have my withdrawal bleed? That's been 5 days since my last pill?

mrsjkerry · 07/11/2016 08:05

Hi Shaz
You will probably get your usual withdrawal bleeding but should wait until you've had a full natural period and then count 14 days from the end of that period and that should roughly be when you ovulate. I'd buy a predictor kit as well if I were you!

Hi! So I'm 28 & we've just decided to try for our first baby! 😁 I was super excited so I stopped my pill with 5 days left in the pack, that was on Wednesday and I've not had any bleeding yet & from what I've read online I should maybe of had some sort of bleed by now? I've had a look at all the ovulation calculator things and honestly I'm baffled! 😳 Can anyone give me any advice on ovulation after the pill??
Thanks! 😊

Sorry, came back from honeymoon 2 weeks ago! Wedding was 4 weeks today Smile

charley2016 · 06/11/2016 22:41

Ik 24 and on my first proper cycle of trying too. Came back from honeymoon 4 weeks ago straight from our wedding and had came off the pill 3 months before to let my body get back to normal. Have been trying since night of wedding, but I think we had just missed ovulation at that point. Used a few OPKs and I ovulated this Friday. DTD wed, fri, sat, so now just starting on the 2ww and keeping my fingers crossed!
