Hello I'm 23 and I've just had my implant removed last Monday. I'm taking pregnacare supplements, is there anything else I can do? Also when I started having sex at 16 I had about 2 years of unprotected sexual and never fell pregnant. Which looking back worries me a bit because my periods were always irregular and sometimes I couldn't go to work because they were so bad like sometimes I had sickness, extremely heavy bleeds, very painful, a temperature etc. I went to the Doctor but they said it was normal. Thanks in advance Smile

LouLouB1987 · 12/08/2017 13:11

@TTCI I'm sure it will happen soon! I think it took my body 6 months. I started periods straight away but don't think I was ovulating! Fingers crossed anyway. Ah that sounds lovely. I miss my family, only live an hour away but dont get much chance to see them ❤ have a good weekend xxx

TTCI · 12/08/2017 10:59

TTCI · 12/08/2017 10:52

@Megha22 I'm not having u protected sex with multiple partners? Hmm

Megha22 · 11/08/2017 11:32

Unprotected sex brings with itself a lot other concerns as well, sexually transmitted diseases etc, therefore if you are having multiple sexual partners i advice you to go for protected sex to keep yourself safe.

LouLouB1987 · 11/08/2017 08:55

Think I'm past ovulation now! Managed to DTD 4 times in the last 6 days so heres to hoping! Just got reeeeeally sore boobs! They do usually start to hurt but normally closer to AF ☺ How are you doing @TTCI? XX

LouLouB1987 · 09/08/2017 12:05

Ooooooo fingers crossed then @TTCI Wink I'm basically just starting ovulation (if the tests are right!!) are you planning on testing or waiting until if/when your late? Xx

@LouLouB1987 I had sex the day before and the day after I can't remember what time at lol  [confused]@holzyb20 I was concerned something was wrong when I was younger but everything seems to have settled down now after having the implant in for 2 years and having it removed xx

holzyb20 · 09/08/2017 10:24

Hi Op, just a thought but heavy painful periods and irregular cycles were a sign of pcos for me do you have any other symptoms? X

LouLouB1987 · 09/08/2017 10:06

Morning @TTCI its hard to say. I think i egg lives for 24 hours anyway. So as long as its as close as possible..? Had you had sex close before yesterday? Xx

TTCI · 09/08/2017 09:48

According to my flo app I was ovulating yesterday and I felt like I was because I had a bit of cramp but the. My and my OH has an argument and had sex this morning instead, does it matter? X

TTCI · 06/08/2017 15:58

Ended up having a few too many gins !! Bad idea seeing as I am babysitting my niece 🙈 nevermind , ice age and pizza it is! Those both sound like good Saturday nights! Maybe not the studying part lol xx

hungryhass · 06/08/2017 10:46

@TTCI - yes having a supportive partner really makes a difference. I tried to do a little bit of studying - I know - so lame on a saturday night! ☹️

LouLouB1987 · 05/08/2017 23:41

@TTCI it's great that you have a supportive partner. Makes it so much easier and to have someone one right there with you! Steady saturday night here, Netflix and home made food ☺ how about you? Xx

TTCI · 05/08/2017 22:05

@LouLouB1987 @hungryhass thanks girls xx hopefully I'll be first time lucky! Think that's what everyone wants though. I know it's easy to jump to conclusions and I really doubt myself and put myself down because I have mental health issues. Luckily I have a really supportive partner xx what's everyone doing tonight? Xx

hungryhass · 03/08/2017 17:30

Please don't worry. When I was young there where several instances when I had unprotected sex and never got pregnant. I often wondered if there was something wrong with me as I was sure I would have got pregnant at least one of these times. I then had the implant for 3 years, then another one for 5 years.. I am now 30 and expecting my first child. I have heard stress maybe a factor. Try taking a long break with your other half after you hopefully sort out the issues at work. I am sure you will be fine and will be sharing some very exciting and good news soon :)

LouLouB1987 · 03/08/2017 12:35

@TTCI oooo great news! It is hard not to think it! When your young you always assume if you're not safe you will get pregnant but then when you actually try its not so easy!! I think im due anywhere between 9th-14th. Using ovulations tests for the first time this month!

It can be hard mentally. Im no pro but ive struggled last few months. Ive realised that worrying and stressing is only going to make it harder!

Fingers crossed for you. Just enjoy the process (try anyway!) Xx

TTCI · 03/08/2017 12:22

@LouLouB1987 according to my app (flo) I'm ovulating on the 8th of august so hard not to assume that I'm just going to fall pregnant lol. Been struggling a bit with my mental health too but fingers crossed xx
