Anyone else about to take the plunge and stop bc pills?

[teachermummy2b]

Ive read another thread with interest about ttc after the pill & saw that a couple of posters were about to stop their bc pills so thought a new thread might be in order!
Im getting married in August & currently finishing my last packet of Yasmin. Excited & nervous all at the same time!

So who's with me?

Xx

Good idea freedom a bit of creativity might just do the trick! Let us know how you get on tomorrow.

Im hoping a holiday and some R&R might do the trick for me. Off to Cornwall on Friday for a long wkend which according to ovia is over my "fertile window".

lets get on this ladies, we need some august bfps!

DH and I had the talk earlier today. I've got a week left of my current packet of Microgynon, then it's vitamins and condoms until my first proper period. Excited and a bit nervous! Planning a house move next year too, and we were trying to hold off until after the move, but we both really want a family, so it's time to try :)

How exciting rl Morgan, and catnip wishing u both all the best quiet agree need August bfp though mine not due till 21-24 chuck not stable yet. What about u guys!

It's gonna be a few months before I'm looking at a BFp. Need to get back into my natural rhythm. Can anyone recommend the stuf DH and I should be eating/taking pre-trying though?

Good luck girlies, and happy trying ;)

Ha! I wish we had a chance at a bit of creativity! But our window is due to start on Thursday and we are going away with my parents and then I have the most stressful week at work ever. If we conceive this month it will be a miracle! Gonna have to just get in as many dtds as we can - plus have a go with our newly purchased conceive plus! ;-)

Well ladies gp is sending me off for blood test. The works. Then if still nothing a scan. He's very supportive of my concerns so I find out in 2 weeks what's going on. He said he's willing AF for me so I can focus on TTC. Thank God for such a supportive GP.

Hi freedom so pleased u have a supportive gp, makes all the difference. And gd news on tests let's hope they get to them bottom of it

Great that your gp is being so helpful freedom has it put your mind at rest a little now something is being done?

according to ovia my "fertile window" starts tomorrow so time to get on it. Although we are going camping this wkend with a big group of friends so not sure how much privacy we'll get!

has anyone else signed up for the clear blue fertility monitor trial? Apparently ive been selected so looking fwd to getting my kit soon

Hey catnip u and I r similar cycles according to Ovia fertile window starts today. I use ff as well which has my fertile window earlier though do not sure... Trying to dtd over both.
Good news u have been successful on clear blue trial how did u find out? I signed up but didn't hear anything?

The trial was on another mumsnet post. I filled out the survey still waiting to hear. Would be a huge help to me financially as kits are expensive.

Good luck.

Thanks freedom

MN emailed me katybear to say they has passed my details on to clear blue. Although i signed up ages ago and assumed id not been successful as i didn't hear anything. Good luck for the wkend!

Thanks catnip fingers crossed then. I want to dtd tonight see if I can convince hubbie

Hey everyone! Just back from a few days away and my Ovia fertile window supposedly started again yesterday (7th August) too. This is our last month of trying before taking a brief break to prevent a due date which clashes with my best friends wedding and bridesmaidly duties! Kinda thought we might have been taking a newborn when we originally started trying :-(

Good luck jus thousandsee I hope all works for u this month. Ovia has me in my fertile window to so will see what happens - ff says it's over but we r still going to try as u never know

Good luck justyouwait did you have a nice holiday?

according to ovia im just at the end of my fertile window. We've been dtd everyday so fingers crossed we all get bfps this month. Have we had any yet in this group?

Well. After stopping the Ovysmen five weeks ago, AF is finally here. Never thought I'd be so damn pleased to see my period. I was beginning to get kind of twitchy about it - never had a withdrawal bleed and AF's been very erratic over the past year since I switched pills.

Now it's back I've remembered what a pain the arse AF is. Gah, can't win!

Congrats glitterbomb. AF is a wecome sight. No comes the fun bit. Wishing you the best of luck.

Can I join you all? I took last bc pill this morning (cerzette). Although I have two children this is the first time coming of the pill & trying to conceive. Had a MC last Jan, went on the pill after that as did not want to try again for a while, but now feel ready to try again.

can I ask if you always get a period first before ovulation? I guess I am seeing is it worth 'trying' before period shows up?

Hi next chapter, so I'm not sure but I guess u can as my gp warned I might not have a period and would just discover I was preg. Sadly I haven't been that luck cycle 3 here. Good luck I say get cracking

Hi all - and thanks for the message Catnip!
I don't think we've had any BFPs yet...and I'm not sure about our chances this month. My fertile window just ended, but coincided with a really busy and stressful time at work so we only managed to dtd three times - right at the start and the end of the window. Good luck to everyone!

Welcome nextchapter i didn't have as withdrawl bleed after stopping the pill but you have to ovulate to have a period so we still dtd. Wasn't really expecting to conceive straight away and were now on cycle 2. That said, some couples do conceive straight away so worth a go

justyouwait it only takes one time to get pregnant so youre def still in with a chance :)

Thanks freedom - it's exciting and terrifying in equal measure!

How are you doing freedom? Any sign of AF or test results?

Thanks Catnip, that makes sense to ovulate first then the period - good luck to you all -

welcome to the group nextchapter and good luck TTC.

well ladies no news to report. came back from GP and all tests came back normal. He suggest just relax and wait now. he did say if I was feeling really worried i could do an anti-mullerian test to make sure I still have eggs left but i'd have to go private which means money i'd rather save until i'm in panic mode. I have to keep telling myself its only been a few months and it's all normal. then I look at the calendar and realize in 3 months i'll be 40 and 2 months till HD has to be back on meds and start feeling slightly sad.

So no AF since May and no sign that anything is wrong. so frustrating i never thought I'd want to see AF so much in my life.

DH is being supportive but as most men go still trying to get his head around why things are not happening since we are "doing what the books say". i keep telling him it's not like building a skyscraper (he's and engineer) where you follow the steps and the building stands up.

so it's wait for AF I guess instead of DTD and hoping we catch something. I secretly keep hoping i'll be one of those who just land pregnant as the stars align etc. no telling what havoc the super moon did this month but hopefully it will have helped some of you in the BFP direction.

Sending loads of BFP thought and sprinkling baby dust your way and hoping I'll be sending congrats to one of you soon.
