Is anyone quite young and worried about people's reactions?

Hey all Grin I've been dabbling around on here for a while and I need to know if anyone has any concerns about the above?
I'm 20 & OH is 21, it was his decision to ttc but I'm terrified of telling anyone in case they judge us! Anyone else worried about that? or something similar?

bless :')
are you on the pill or anything? it seems it's gonna take a while for AF to regulate herself, I wish I'd stopped it a few months earlier! just something to prepare you Wink

I have the copper coil which I believe returns you to normal fertility as soon as it is removed as no hormones are involved :) don't actually know if this is the case though, perhaps I should start a new thread asking!

ooooh! I know nothing about the coil :') I know I'll definitely not be going back on the pill though! this regulating is shite Sad

Hi Rachel, if you and your OH can afford to house yourselves and bring up baby without resorting to state benefits and you feel ready then go for it.

I was on the pill five years ago but it made me clinically depressed (not something I have ever suffered from off the pill). Coming off it was the best decision I have ever made. I know that it works really well for some people though.

I am sure that everything will return to normal for you soon and you will have a bfp before you know it, time is definitely on your side :)

I've heard of it taking years for things to get back to normal Sad but I'm just really impatient Grin

I've not heard of it causing depression, it's odd that you say that. I came off my anti depressants at the same time as the pill and I'm feeling fine! strange little pill!

I would say go for it and just ignore the negative comments. Me and DH had our first child when I was 16, I am now 22 and have 3 children and wouldn't change them for the world.

nightandthelight · 07/01/2015 21:52

Most of my female friends have suffered from depression because of the pill, however it's quite hard to find doctors who accept this despite the fact that it is listed as a potential side effect in the information sheet!

Trust me I know all about being impatient, am slowly going crazy over here, it's all I think about. From reading other threads 3-4 months seems to be the norm rather than years :)

That's very odd indeed! they should really look in to the pill more Hmm

I'm hoping so Grin as I've said, if I'm not PG by July at the latest, we'll have to wait till next year, because we're off to Barbados! and it'll be our first holiday together :') so I don't really wanna not go

A Barbados holiday does sound amazing! Well fingers crossed for the next six months then, I'm sure that you will get there :)

professornangnang · 07/01/2015 22:06

IMHO you're better off getting married first so that further down the road ýou will have more security if you were to break up. If I were you I'd get engaged, then married and then ttc.

It's gonna be a family holiday, the only way we can afford it Grin

we've been talking about marriage and he said he's already got his proposal thought out and such Grin so I guess I've to sit and wait Wink maybe he'll do it on holiday :P

nightandthelight · 08/01/2015 08:12

How exciting rachel! Fingers crossed you get a fabulous proposal, sounds like he is really thinking about how to make it wonderful :) I can definitely recommend marriage, DH and I lived together beforehand so I didn't think it would change anything but it does make our commitment seem more real.

On the other hand my mum and step-dad aren't married, have three children and are very committed to each other so it can work either way.

DH had second dream in a row about having babies last night and seems to be suggesting April now so that's exciting!

doesn't look like the holiday is gonna happen Sad uni is gonna cost me far too much Sad

but it won't make his proposal any less special!

ooooh that does sound exciting! very promising Wink keep us updated!

been feeling loads of "pregnancy" symptoms tonight while I've been at college. Absolutely buggered me up haha

nightandthelight · 08/01/2015 21:49

Aww that's a shame :( proposals are always special though even if not in Barbados!

Ooh how exciting about the pregnancy symptoms, when can you test?

rachelrawrrr · 08/01/2015 22:50

I'm not sure, really. I came off the pill just over a month ago, been having symptoms of coming off, they've died down in the past week or so but tonight they seem to be back with a vengeance Sad damn this nausea! I've not had AF, so I have no idea, just test every week or so I guess!

OP posts:
nightandthelight · 09/01/2015 08:15

Sounds like a plan! Maybe you will get a bfp before at has a chance to return, I hear it happens :)

rachelrawrrr · 09/01/2015 17:22

I hope it happens like that Grin I really want to start to predict OV, but can't without AF!
