TTC #1 coming off the pill in December - anyone else in the same boat?!

[shelbTa]

Hi,

I am going to be coming off the pill after ten years plus on it after my pack finishes in December. Excited but also terrified about what my body is going to do once I'm without all the hormones!

Anyone else doing the same roughly the same time?

(Hope this goes through struggling to post)

Ni I'm in the same position. Really want to get married first but like you say, you can get married any time but the ability to have a kid has a sell by date.

Definitely it was the 35 thing that swayed it for my DH, having said that he is also convinced he has supersperm and wholly believed we could wait until 10 months before my 35th before we started TTC. As it happens, whenever it happens for us I will be at least 35. --

This is all new to me and from reading this thread I've clearly not been taking it seriously enough - I have an app, but not doing temps etc, plus still trying to interpret all the abbreviations involved!! Think I believed he has supersperm and it would all happen as soon as I came off the pill!!

That's exactly what my Dh thinks planning he's said it loads "oh, it will be fine, it will only take one time unprotected and you'll be pregnant!" I'm more realistic, it's not a Disney film, my ovaries are rattling about crying for some action! He thinks because we're both outwardly healthy, it won't be a problem and I'm ovaryacting (get it?! ) I think he's a knob and we'll get to this time next year and my womb will be pronounced null and void!

Evening all, I'm enjoying a glass of wine and chocolate tonight so naughty but so nice. Me and my OH decided we wanted a baby first but will get married. I used to want marriage first but since meeting my OH our priorities have changed. Where we went on holiday last week we were discussing going back there to marry in the future it's all so exciting.

Starky, a PowerPoint presentation means serious business! Hope OH comes round to getting on with the baby making sooner.

Fingers crossed for all the pissy stickers!

Morning all,
That's me out at sea for work for the eBay 3-4 weeks. On night shift no less. I may go a bit quiet but I hope to keep up to date with the thread.
AF fucked off just as I left home so no swimmers in place.

So what have I missed?
Oh my goodness Starky he had his ear bitten off?!
My DH has been dragging his feet for a while. Now I'm away and it'll most likely be impossible to get upduffed on my brief forays home, we know it's off the cards until feb. he's feeling much more relaxed and looking forward to feb but I think come january he'll start panicking again.
Today he got a mega promotion though so that should help calm his finance fears down at least.

Hi everyone, how are you all today?

Stark I hope you get around your other half.

Bunch that sucks about it being out until Feb but it's not that long away. December will go in a flash and then you'll have something to look forward to during horrible boring Jan.

I think the tww is going to drive me mad. It seems to last forever! I've definitely got skittle tits and itchy nips and they feel a bit fuller too. Im hoping that's a good sign as my other symptoms have now disappeared, unless you count suddenly having the sniffles which some people would

Morning all,

When are you next going to test runner? I know - this tww is going on forever!!!!

I dug out my old pregnancy tests from my sock drawer yesterday and found out all 12 of them go out of date this month. Makes me think I can afford to waste a few on early ones. Maybe I'll try one tonight (even though it 100% won't shown anything).

Definitely had a one day dip in temp yesterday which could be a positive implantation sign.

Morning ladies!

Bloody hell runner that's exciting!

Will try and catch up on thread, been a monster week.

Stark that's a tough about your OH :-(. Mine is being a dick too if it's any consolation!

Last day in on pill for me today, bricking it now!!

Happy last pill day Shelb!

Bergamot as the tests are going to run out it would be rude not to use them even if they will be neg because they're too early. You still have the excitement of practicing

I'm going to try and hold off testing until the middle of next week now. I keep swinging between being certain I'm pregnant and thinking there's no way I've caught in the first month and any symptoms are in my head.

Shelb woohoo! Last pill day dance!!!

Runner this is big news!!

X

Ooh... Runner that's very exciting! We can all do TWW with you

I officially have my job!! Hurrah after 10 months of uncertainty and threat of redundancy both DH and I have jobs and they are in the same city (which rather helps with TTC!). It's a step down but in the current climate I can't be fussy!

Now I just have to hope that DH doesn't get cold feet about babies...!

Oh Dr that's great news

Shelb you're off the pill!!!!

Morning ladies, how are you all doing today? apart from Shelb as we all know you're doing the first day off the pill dance

I'm quietly hopeful. Skittle tits has reduced a bit but they're still tender and my temp chart has gone up over the past 3 days I should be able to do an early test in 2 days but I think tests aren't very accurate if done then.
Spoke to OH last night and told him there was a chance actually worded it as, I find out if you have super sperm next week he seemed quite happy about it and has been making fun of me ever since saying I'm only using him for his sperm

How are the rest of you in tww doing? Any symptoms yet?

Shelb How are you feeling knowing your off the pill now?!

Runner I'm not feeling hopeful now, I think I had a bug as those symptoms have gone now and I don't have any other symptoms. I also couldn't resist spin a test yesterday and it was a definite negative. Am going to wait until AF due now before testing again.

Dr whoop!!! Good luck with Ttc now!

Bergamot if the pregnancy tests are going out of date it would be silly not to start testing

Morning ladies

Runner - fingers crossed for the testing!

A little bit of news from me - OH proposed last night, so I am now a Mrs to be!! He had made a comment ages ago that he would like us to be engaged before getting married, so I suppose it was on the cards, but it took me by surprise last night!

Ps Shelb - how do you feel being pill free?!!

Omg!! Massive congratulations pinklily!!!!

Wow pink! Amazing news! Huge congratulations!
Are you going to start planning soon or just focus on TTC?

I did a test last night and one this morning and no sign of a second line (despite checking under every light in the house). Think I'll do one more tomorrow then wait for AF.

Deborah - when's your AF due?

Obviously I meant be engaged before we have a baby - rather than be engaged before we got married (that's kind of a pre-requisite!)

We are still planning on TTC in January. My biological clock is ticking in my head, so I think we will probably aim to have one baby then get married. I still plan on looking at dresses though :-)

Pink we got engaged end of August and are planning to do the same, baby then wedding then more babies.

Bergamot AF is due Wednesday so the test was pretty early. X

AF is due Wednesday for me too so we're in the same boat Deborah. Both testing foolishly early . It's so hard to wait but it's only 4 days.

Bergamot I desperately want to test again tomorrow but as I don't have any symptoms and I only managed to convince OH on ovulation day and didn't TTC until the morning after my predicted ovulation. Very very low chance

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for bergamot and runner though X

And anyone else on the 2ww! X X
