I feel very happy and yet very naughty! Is this normal? I've just come off the pill ( 2weeks ago) and I wasnt going to until the end of the year, but my DH and I decided 'what the hell' lets gice it a go...................

So........ I've got a secret....... I'm trying for a baby!!!!!

shhhhhhhhh!

Not knowing what to expect with my periods yet, they will probably be all over the place for a long time as ive been on marvelon since i was 16. ( I was put on it to regulate my very heavy and irratic periods)

I finished my last packet 2 weeks ago, had my AF then stopped noramlly without taking my pill. (stopped after 3 days and normaly longer when i take my pill) weird?

so...I'm on the rollercoaster that is trying for a baby! any advice or welcomes greatly appreciated from the conception page ladies?

thanks cebee!

I'm not under any illusins that it will be plain sailing, my friends have all expereinced one problem or anohter, its not as easy as everyone expects is it?!

I'm a bit worried about how my periods will be, I'm hoping they wont be as awful as they were when I was 16! I'm 32 now, so I think I'm trying at a good time. I've got friends who are doctors who feed me all this medical jargon about trying for a baby. I just want it to be as 'normal' as possible.

I've got one friend who is going insain over trying, I feel so awful for her, she spends so much money on ovulation prediciton tests, and I really dont want to go down that road just yet. its early early days for me, but I'm sooooo excited!

I have this gut feeling I wont ever be pregnant though. My mum says thats natural, and she thought that. She said it was the most amazing feeling when she found out she was though.

thanks for your advice!

How exciting.

Just thought I would share my conception experience with you as it is similar.

I had been on the pill (Marvelon and then Microgynon) for 15 years when we decided to TTC. I came off it last July and my AF's were all over the place. It was hard to work out when I was ovulating as there were varying gaps between AF's.

Anyhoo, I became pg on my 3rd cycle after coming off the pill - although I actually conceived 2 weeks after ovulating (I used one of those sticks that you pee on to test for ovulation) so I have to this day no idea how that happened - but it did and I now have a gorgeous DS fast approaching his first birthday.

Good luck - will be keeping my fingers crossed for you
