TTC Month one- first baby

[Rose95]

Hello! Just wanted to see if there was anyone else out there in the same boat ☺️ this is our first month TTC. Quit combined pill and have had first natural period. Best advice? 🥰

Just relax. Have sex a few times a week. Remember that coming off your pill can screw your body up for a year or so in some cases.

I think it’s a very scary and uncertain world right now, and if I were you zI would delay this for 6mths to a year.
Sorry just my opinion.

Hi, this post was aimed at like minded people- just for support :) The fact you've apologised for you opinion suggests you know it's not a kind one.

Not in same boat but I used an app called period tracker or something like that it was called. 8 years ago now though but there just be similar around.

Oh and good luck

@Rose95 weve been trying for over 2 years, i wouldnt suggest anyone put it off for 6 months to a year because you never know how your journey is going to go. I hope your journey isnt as long as ours!

I use ovia and fertility friend to track cycles, use ovulation sticks to get a good idea of when you ovulate and dtd once every other day in your fertile week.

Good luck, OP! There is a whole conception board on this site where you might find you got more targeted replies? Absolutely not saying you shouldn't post here, but if you want loads of other people in the same boat, you might re-post on this subforum too:

@mrschicken89, I think you are being a bit unkind to that previous poster. She just said why she felt there might be issues. Anxiety can play a major role in conception, so it's not a bad thing to bring up. I say this as someone who only wishes she'd been trying for two years - but, despite the fact clinics have reopened, I'm not hurrying back, because I know that for me it would not be the right choice. People are all really different, and it's not rude to the OP for another poster to share how they feel about TTC.

I am sorry you thought I was unkind. That certainly was not my intention. I truly hope your journey to parenthood goes smoothly.

@SarahAndQuack they brought up a valid point based on their feelings, I didnt say they were being rude?
I brought up a valid point based on my experiences. If i knew ttc was going to take me this long i would have started earlier.

Oh, I'm sorry, I expect I misinterpreted your post. I understood you to be agreeing with the OP that it was unkind to talk about whether or not to TTC at the moment. I do get that it's different for everyone. I just thought the poster who brought that up did so in a pretty gentle way and seemed to get unfair stick for it. Like it or not, it is a concern for a lot of people, and a consideration.
