TTC in December

@Peadsnurse101 it’s the contraceptive injection, a lot of women take 12+ months to become fertile again! But there are a minority of women who fall pregnant quickly, hence the glimmer of hope 🙄

I didn’t think I’d be consumed by it to be honest, must have google everything there is to know now haha!

No we haven’t done anything yet, I don’t want to get married with any restrictions so I can be hopeful that come March were in a much better situation & a September wedding could happen, although I think 2022 is probably more likely!

@Ched1 I don’t really know much about the depo. I’ll look into it. Is it the implant?
Oh okay well it could be that the HCG just isn’t high enough yet! I haven’t been on contraception for years so I’m hoping that will make go in our favour lol, but you never know! It’s so addictive isn’t it, I just want to keep researching until I find the answer that I’m going to get pregnant... sadly doesn’t work like that haha.
Have you booked or sent out invites for the wedding?

@Peadsnurse101 Happy New Year 😁

Fingers crossed for you! Longest 2 weeks ever now!

My AF is due Friday (I think) I have done a cheap test this week & nothing at all (2 actually but one was completely blank 🙄) as I’ve said before I would be surprised as I’ve been on the depo for so long! But still have those early pregnancy/also PMS symptoms! I can see how all this TTC malarkey can get so addictive lol!

Happy new year and here’s to 2021 babies 👶🏼

Hi ladies,
Finished fertile window and in 2WW now. Trying not to get my hopes up! Dtd 5 out of 6 days. My Ovia app says baby would be due end of September which is so exciting but such a tease as I know it’s only 38% chance of happening if all is healthy. grin
How are you all doing? My AF is due on the 19th, anyone else in 2 ww?

Happy New Years Everyone, Here’s hoping for lots of Babies x

@Peadsnurse101If there’s still a lot of restrictions on numbers we won’t get married, fingers crossed for a better year though!

I was (kind of) tracking on a couple of apps for ovulation window but didn’t test so not sure if it happened or not 🤷🏻‍♀️ I do feel like after being on the depo for so long it’s highly unlikely.

But we’ve been DTD fairly often 😅 I did have 2/3 days of spotting last week & a blocked nose (which I’ve read can be a sign?) but I’m not kidding myself or upset that it’s probably irregularity because of depo & have a cold haha!

How’s everyone else doing? Happy New Year! 😁

Sorry @Ched1 clearly Christmas got the better of me there! How funny, love that I’m not the only one mad enough to be going for both baby and wedding in a pandemic haha.

Hope everyone had a lovely Xmas, how’s everyone getting on?

@Peadsnurse101 How weird (maybe not that weird haha) but I wanted to be married before kids but decided I’m not that bothered.

We’ve also decided we may have a small wedding in the summer 🤞🏻

It’s so exciting isn’t it and lovely we have something so nice to look forward to while everything else seems to be going to pot haha.
My fiancé wanted to get married first but I wanted to have a baby first so we’ve compromised and are doing both haha. We are just having a small wedding in the spring so we are hoping to be celebrating two things by then !

Agreed @Ched1... can’t wait to see some positives. I read another post and it was amazing seeing how many people were pregnant by the end!

So nice a few more people have joined, I’ve read loads of threads but not been part of one yet! Especially as most of us seem to be trying for the first time!

Wow @Dex1521 that looks in depth 😅 I came off the deli last month & other threads/NHS say periods/ovulating can take 10 months plus! So I was quite excited when I had AF last week (I think anyway!)

It’s so easy to get carried away though, I came off the injection because I thought it would be over a year before I got pregnant, one month off & I’d be really happy if I was!

I am conscious that overthinking it & stressing doesn’t help though. So many stories of people giving up or due for IVF then finding out they’re pregnant!?

Anyway wishing everyone the best & fingers crossed! Can’t wait to come back on this thread & hear one of you got a BFP! ❤️

TTC our first, I have been using the 'Clue' app to track and the first week in Jan appear to be my most fertile days! (5th - 8th) Scared but excited!

Hi all can I join your group? We’ve been ttc since October so this is my third cycle. I’m currently 8dpo (did a FRER with FMU this morning and was a BFN 😞) but I know it’s too early and not to rule myself out just yet. I’ve had a big dip and rise yesterday and today in my BBT (I’ll attach the chart) so I think that could be an implantation dip. Didn’t get it on my last cycle so hoping for a good sign 🤞 although I have read you can get a dip and still not get pregnant. Is anyone else here tracking BBT and/or in their tww?

Hi everyone,
We're hoping to start TTC #1 in the next couple of weeks. I came off the pill (progesterone only) in April and we kept delaying TTC so I could lose weight, but I've really been struggling with that and my broodiness hasn't lessened! My other half is still a bit unsure but that's just his personality.

I bought the easy@home ovulation strips months ago and have tested them but failed to get a positive so feeling a bit nervous about those. We don't DTD much so need to time it right! That seems to be the brand most people recommend though, unless you have a ridiculous salary and can afford Clearblue.

Great to have this group - good luck everyone :)

Hello all, I would to join this thread, also totally new to mumsnet! We are starting TTCing in January. Fertile window in the first week so very excited. Fingers crossed for us all

@Porgy657 Yea I must have thread 50 odd threads about it but all from about 10 years ago! Sounds on very similar positions, at least we can catch up about it!

@Ched1 nice having someone in the same boat, I’ve read through so many threads and no one seemed to be coming off depo! we’re both excited at the prospect but also absolutely shitting it 😂😂

I really need to proof my messages! Autocorrect isn’t normally this bad 😳

To be honest o just brought the cheapest ones in Tesco 🤷🏻‍♀️

If time goes on I’ll invest in some decent ones 😅

Yea same I didn’t get my injection but said I’d panic if I for pregnant straight away (odds against on that one!) But now I’m off the injection we’re nothing talking about a baby a lot more & would be over the moon & shitting it haha!

@Ched1 yeah I think I’m going to get some ov sticks to see what’s actually happening do people have any recommendations?
we are trying (trying being the key word) to keep relaxed about it..I’m taking pre conception vitamins as way of being somewhat prepared

@Porgy657 Same here really, I’m 27 & didn’t get my depo because I’d recently read up a lot more about time frames, so not expecting it to happen quick but if it does than we’ll be happy!
I’m very intrigued to know if I’ll ovulate though as I know you can have periods & not!

Sorry to hear Randy 😔 Fingers crossed for January 🤞🏻

I did get a BFP but unfortunately had an early miscarriage 😔 so roll onto January for me!

Ched 1, I have no idea tbh, I’m 25 so with the thought that it may take a while to get back ‘on track’ felt now was a good time to get off it, I have had spotting etc every now and then so fingers crossed it doesn’t take that long...we are very much trying but not trying so if it happens we will be happy about it but also not in a rush! Wanted to join a group to sort of get an idea of the ins and outs

People* not pipes 🙄

How is everyone getting on?

Thought I’d jump on as I was on the depo & didn’t have my last jab in November.
@Porgy657 How do you feel about ttc after the depo? Every forum I’ve read most pipes have taken 18 months to just get their periods back!
I’m pretty sure I’ve just had my AF, started 30 days after me depo was due & was 7 days. So finer crossed 🤞🏻I’ll do a ovulation test to see if I’m lucky!
