TTC First Time - Anyone else?

[HippyStar]

My husband and I are TTC! I have been off the pill for a month now and have started taking folic acid and calcium with vit D to ensure if anything does happen I'm as healthy as possible. Limiting caffeine and alcohol but not cutting it out completely as you never know how long it will take! All my friends have just fallen pregnant really easily, but I have a feeling this will not be the case for me. I can't remember when my last period was either which is annoying as will need to wait for the next one before I can chart etc. Is anyone else out there TTC now? We could all share our stories and encourage each other!

Hiya I have been making folic acid for 2 months and vitamin d for about 6 weeks. Haven't noticed anything taking these. It only finished the pill today so not sure I would.

Hi I'm ttc #1 - it's my first cycle after finishing the pill
My af was due on Monday but still no sign I did a test on tues and got a bfn :-( so just trying to wait as long as pos before taking another test but it's so hard!

Wish you loads of luck greeneyes I'm a month behind you. Just finished my pill so now were off, hoping for you a bfp and for me at the end of June :-)

Thanks katy, I was taking boots conception support vits, which includes zinc, vit B6 and folic acid. Was wondering what was making me feel so sick and change my AF so drastically. I've been off the pill for over 15 years and my periods have been regular and consistent for a very very long time. Will be trying a month without the vits (OH is concerned they may be messing with my hormones) to see if there is any difference.

Not long till we will be trying again...yay!

Me and the OH have been discussing names and been bickering over them. Have you chosen unique names or gone old school?

Elodie and Rory are lovely names.

I like the name Lilia for a girl and Caleb for a boy...though the OH isn't so sure. I like unusual/unique names but the OH is more old school so I can see some heated debates ahead!

We are also thinking family names for middle names.

I'm with you on the over popularity of names. I'd rather our child have a unique name that stans out a little.

Ah, the peeing on a stick conundrum. I tested early this month, couldn't help myself, but have resolved not to next time. Trying to be a bit more relaxed about it this month (I bet I won't be).

Go with what feels right to you Gem.

I tested early on Wednesday afternoon couldn't wait and got BFN however this is my 3rd month off the pill, I seem to have had a 28 and a 29 day cycle now im on day 30 and still no AF how long should I leave it before testing again...

This whole ttc is crazy! Totally messes with you mentally especial when you have super fertile friends! I don't think I'm pg as i don't feel any different in myself surely there would of been other symptoms I was a bit ill last week feel nauseous and could eat for 2 days but was abroad and put it down to the rank food that was about

Gem that was exactly how I felt last week, was totally miserable when I tested early and got a BFN. I went through all the negative emotions/thoughts of believing I'll never get pregnant, I'm too old, etc etc, seriously stressed myself out.

Talked to my OH who was so lovely and said if it's to be then it will happen (however long it takes). We just need to relax and enjoy this time otherwise we'll look back and only remember the stress rather than the fun!!

TTC is definitely stressful and the 2ww is total hell!!

He's really chilled out about it which is good really. Will help to keep me calm

Nothing wrong with a lazy Sunday afternoon on the sofa...that's what I have planned. OH is doing g the cooking so all is good

I think everyone feels the same... And these people who get pregnant by 'accident' pahh what a load of b*llocks
