Anyone want to join me in a waiting to conceive thread ? Anyone else really broody but can't TTC yet ?

i just looked it up on nhs direct and it says that there is an inhalant med that preg women can take. however, it says that it is bnot recommended for people who have breathing problems. this prsents 2 difficulties.

1. what if u have athsma?
2. heavily preg women can experience shortness of breath.

interesting- what do others think?

about swine flu, what u said medee has made me think- especially as i am a teacher. i dont know if u have seen the news today but they are warning that the pandemic may peak in aug/sept when students go back so the gov are putting out a warning that hols may be extended by a MONTH if it gets worse. i personally think this is scare mongering but when u consider that in the space of a week two sixth formers i work with have been v ill with it is makes u think. i dont think it will put me off but i will see what happens re, new development as workng in a school does make u vylnerable to catching all sorts. dont even know if u can take the swine flu meds if u are pregnant - does anybody else know this?

Well nothing exciting here.
AF has just about finished, so short and light.
DH was sent home ill on Wednesday and has been shut in the spare room or the loo ever since. Actually had doc out to him yesterday but seems a bit better today

Glad you enjoyed the HP film, would love to think we could get out in an evening to see it. DH is trying to convince me that DS is old enough to go to see Ice Age3 with us!

kaylo- yes it is an option so i think i might wait till end of pill packet, use other protection and wait for thing to settle.

really stupid question, but is anyone considering delaying TTC due to the extra risk to pregnant women from swine flu?

Hi Hobnob damn was hoping for some gossipy story ah well. Hope AF arrives soon chick, shouldn't be too long hopefully

Curly Deary me - just read my last post...well done for deciphering it all pmsl. Sooo many sp mistakes I'm terrible at typing!!
You've got me wondering now about the bit that should have been in last book!! It's been a while since I read them and all the story has kind of blended into one now so I can't distinguish between the books anymore (apart from the obvious bits) I agree tho that thay could have explained the title a bit more since theres a story behind that as well.

How old did Maggie Smith look???

Am kind of glad you got AF but I'm sorry you're in so much pain - anadin works a treat for me, maybe it will work for you too? I'm on CD3 and AF left yesterday so I feel quite lucky - my cycle is only 28/29 days long and AF only stays 2-3days

ONLY ONE MORE CYCLE TO GO
YIPEEEEEEE

Where is everyone???

Rimmer I agree with Curly about perhaps considering others contraceptive methods to give you a chance to work out your cycle pattern again - is this an option for you?

I hope the lack of peeps on here is cos you all have exciting stories to come back and tell us Have fun everyone, hope you're all well - xxxxx

kaylo I loved the film. However it did lack the whole explanation of the half-blood prince, which is pretty poor considering the title. and they made mission at the end a bit short and there's something else that I'm sure didn't happen till the final book, but i'd have to check. But otherwise loads of laughs and a few tears! I just love the whole thing

I'm excited for your for August! About to try and work my cycle out. Finally got AF after CD 33. And now wish I hadn't wanted it so much - in agony!

rimmer if you are worried about getting back to normal, you could stop pill at end of current packet and use other protection. That way you'll know your natural body better when trying. In a way my three month wait for other reasons had been good, cos I've got time to get to know my cycle. (and God knows I need it! x

Hey everyone - all ok?

Hi queenrollo welcome to the WTC thread.

Curly How did you find Hsrry Potter - I went to see it last night in Wakefield and Chanelle Hayes was there from BigBrother. She's soooo small!!

Thought the film was god but cos I'm a book freak I thought it could have been better. Thats just me tho - I was the same with Twilight

Sounds like quite a few people are close to getting started with this TTC business - I'm hoping to start around 20th(ish) August so only about 4 weeks to go Am sooooo excited. Hoping to catch on first month so can go to Barcelona for anniversary with a big huge secret

Catch u all later xxxx Hope everyone is well

thanks all two and a half packets to go!!

I know 3 people who got pg first month off the pill! but drs and mws like you to give the chemicals time to get out of your system, and when you've got a regular pattern they have a better chance of working your dates out!

hi all

i'd been on the pill for 12 years when i came off to TTC my ds. I stopped taking it in the March, no period until the June and i was panicking that my body was broken! My periods never settled into a regular cycle but i got pregnant that December. It was the uncertainty about what my body was doing that led me to mumsnet.

I'm back on the pill now, with a different DP and DS is nearly 4. We're hoping to TTC at some point in the near future but not sure quite when yet, maybe spring next year. I am very broody as is DP (he has no children yet but adores my son) but we're waiting for life to settle down a bit first. I'll probably lurk around here in the meantime.

rimmer been wondering all this myself, but from what I've read so far it seems like a very individual thing. Some girls not ovulating for a while after stopping pill, some OV but with irregular cycles so stuffed when it comes to pin-pointing fertile days, and some who seem to get a BFP before even really thinking about it. Well, I suppose some people get PG while on the pill...

Looks like the key message is to just keep doing it no matter what!

BTW, when I mentioned to my mum that I'd been on the pill for 13 years, there was silence on the phone and I could hear her mentally counting back...

CD33 and still waiting... but at least I'm seeing Harry Potter tonight!

thanks for the feedback!! also wondering on average how long does it take peole to get pregnant when they have been on the pill for that long and also do you have to have a period first and get your cycle sorted out? sorry about all the q's but am new to this!!

it was 10 years for me - still waiting to see what my cycle is. Every little squeak and creak is being recorded.

rimmer I've got that feeling too, after 13 years. CD 32 and I'm still waiting for a period to arrive. god knows what will be going on.

saw GP today. all sorted with coming off the meds, having my rubella etc checked and was told to use condoms during the wait till meds out of system. at least two out of three were useful

Don't worry rimmer, I had the implant in and hadn't had a period for about 5yrs! How much did I want to get pregnant, they never bothered me before but then I realised how much I enjoyed not having them!

i have just realised thati have been on the pill for 14 years and have NO idea what it is like to have a normal period!! how will i know??

only child myself, but i am sure i will get the 'it'll be lonely ' speach from mil!

me too!

medee- think just the one!!

Just realised how patronising that last post sounded, I'm sorry Imogen. You do say your periods are irregular which makes it much harder to work out when is the 'right' time which can get really frustrating. There are lots of threads on here about temperature charting and watching cervical mcus so you can tune into your bodies natural clues of when is a good time
