Trying for first baby

@LouLouB1987 ahhh that sucks!! We will get there xxx

@TTCI sorry its 'big fat negative'. Also period arrived 😢 never mind! Roll on to the next cycle. Hope your doing ok xx

@LouLouB1987 what's BFN? Xx

Well @TTCI I tested this morning and got BFN and I feel crampy so pretty sure AF os gonna happen ! Roll on next cycle I guess! Xx

Oh wow fingers crossed for you!! I know I'm new to it all aswell no idea what I'm doing xx

Oh god @TTCI! No wonder lol. Yea I read it between 10am - 8pm?? Still all very new to me 🙈 I think I'm out this month so be happy to get my period out of the way! I'll be testing Saturday if it doesn't show up though eeek xx

I know Ive never been so excited to get my period lol!! Also I read on my flo app that you aren't meant to do an ovulation test in the morning! And I've been doing that this whole time xx

@TTCI ahhhh brilliant! Start tracking your periods and symptoms and youre on your way. I use the Ovia app and it's working well. We've just ordered some cheapy ovulation tests to give that a go. Im due on Saturday 🙈 I don't think you can add people but feel free to keep posting on here. I will too ☺ xx

@LouLouB1987 aw that's good!! Can you add friends on this? Also I've got my period today woohoo!! Xx

@TTCI it's sooooooo frustrating i know. I took me a good 5/6 weeks to settle back in to normal cycles after stopping the pill! Hope you get back to your normal soon 😊 Yea Im good, great support from my OH and family. Fingers crossed for us! Let me know how you get on xx

@LouLouB1987 sorry! Just seen your post, that sounds really overwhelming! Hope you're dealing with it all ok. I'm on week 4 of having it removed and still no period lol. All ovulation tests negative aswell. Trying to have patience lol xx

@TTCI I worried just the same. I was on the implant for years, started the pill two years ago to (in my mind) try and take back some control lol! I also had unprotected sex with one parner when I was younger and never got caught (luckily as I think back). Stopped my pill in January and have haf regular periods, like clockwork. It wasnt until then I started to wonder why I have never been pregnant. I was checked for everything with swabs and blood tests and all clear. Although I just just turned 30 so have my worries. Last cycle i was 8 days late, unheard of for me, so when AF came I felt so upset and like my body was letting me down. Someone at work has just gone through and abortion and another in early stages of pregnancy. I fell apart. I talked to my GP who gave me some great advice and a note for a few weeks off work. I found talking about how i felt, reading posts on here and trying to 'relax' about it has helped. It's very hard to relax, as its ALWAYS in the back of your mind. But speak up, vent, use the GP if needed. Just know your not alone Hope things go well for you xx

I really wouldn't worry too much about your fertility based on all that unprotected sex in your teens. You may just have been avoiding the crucial 5 days every month. Particularly if it fell midweek. That plus your irregular periods would make it less likely to get pregnant anyway.

Might take a month or two for cycles to settle post implant. Just have lots of sex and try not to worry.

@TTCI omg, really darling? that sounds even worse :(

I know @Aneta553 I think about it a lot too. I'm sure on some level it does though. I have a meeting later in today with my boss so I think I'll bring it up to her because it's affecting my home life (I'm getting bullied at work). Xx

Anyone who has had experience that can prove it could tell me their experience about it, Thanks!!!

What TTCI is pointing out is something that has haunted me a lot since I notice that I was having difficulties trying to have a baby.

Having a lot of stress accumulated is something that has become kind of natural since I work as a lawyer. I even sometimes on some periods of the year suffer from a hair lost due to the amount of stress I'm handling at the time. But I now have to question more directly, because if it is that way, I'll have to change things in my routine.

If someone knows anything about it please let me know! I read some texts in internet but none give me an answer.

Lots of hopes and the best of lucks to everyone! xxxx

Also does stress affect fertility as much as they say or not really? I'm going through a big work problem just now so was just wondering x

This is what I'm taking x

Thank you everyone for your kind advice and words. It's just hard when you want something as bad as this and it's so strong that I'm just desperate to be a mum. I watch OBEM just to get some sort of mum fix lol xx

Don't worry you're going through a complete body change and it's normal to doubt your fertility. It's good that you are taking folic acid, ideally you need to be doing this for 3 months before you start to TTC and in this time use it as a way to track your cycles. The first one off birth control is always a hard one as you will have every pregnancy symptom going. Good luck!! Try to chill. 😎

It's definitely chance. My first and fourth children I got pregnant with on first month of trying. My second and third took over a year, so don't be disheartened x

I'm just worried I can't conceive that's all. Very sorry again xx i had an implant for 2 years then I had it removed last Monday. And they stop you from having periods so I've not had a period in two years xx

Don't worry- things can come across wrong online - I wasn't attacking you - sorry if it came across as that. I wouldn't worry about the not getting pregnant at that age - chances are if it was just the odd times then you would have been doing it at the wrong time of the month.
As another pp see how you go for a few months and then go to gp after 6-12 months if it hasn't happened. Most people it'll happen for in the first 6 months but for me it was first attempt for my first child and my friend took 2 years! My second child took much longer - it's just chance sometimes

Do you have regular periods now? It's easy to track your fertile days if you know your own cycle, but ovulation sticks can give more accurate result. clearblue digital with the smily face are good. Apart from that, take folic acid and make sure you're having regular sex throughout your cycle, but focus on your fertile days x
