TTC for the first time...already obsessing!

[MissClarke86]

Hi ladies,

It's my first time on here so I just wanted to say hello and see if anybody was in the same boat as me!

I'm 29 and only really became broody this last year, but when i want something that's it! Been with my partner for 8 years, he's 32. I've also been on the pill since I was around 15 for acne...so 14 years non-stop!

My other half has always said "we'll have children one day" but has also admitted he doesn't think he'll ever get excited about it. The other day I mentioned being nearly 30, and one of my friends has been trying for over a year unsuccessfully, and unprompted he said "Maybe you should stop the pill and we'll see see how it goes" I was the over the moon and stopped immediately! Bought folic acid and everything! He gets twitchy talking about it as I still don't think he really WANTS a child...but I am hoping when it happens his attitude will change. He did say the other day he thinks we are rushing things a bit, but I am in the frame of mind that I don't think he's ever going to be "ready" and I'm just going to have to get on with it!? Is that awful?

That said...it's not stopped him in the bedroom! ??

I finished the pill 2 and a half weeks ago, had my breakthrough bleed, and nothing since then but I have felt quite tired, tender boobs, slightly crampy.

My obsessive nature has googled and read everything under the sun and my brain is trying to convince me I might be pregnant already but my sensible side is saying that's highly unlikely!

So that's my story so far...it'd be nice to meet others in the same situation or hear about how it happened for you ladies!

Jump on the November Bus, you will find lots of support there. My DH wasn't all that interested in talking about ttc, although, like your dh, it was his idea to stop contraceptives. He's a brilliant dad though (we are ttc number 2). Your symptoms sound like your hormones getting back into sync. I always get sore and heavy boobs after ovulation. Good luck!

Hi, I am pretty much in the same boat! I am 29 and DH is 27. I came off the pill in September 2014 but last cycle was our first month TTC. Just about heading into cycle #2 and already getting obsessed!

Fingers crossed for our BFPs this month!

Hi missclarke! We've got a thread going on here somewhere, TTC in December or something.

But I really wanted to reply as I'm in a really similar boat - put on pill a good ten years ago for acne (and hair loss) and I'm bricking it that when I come off it in two weeks that both are going to come back!! No signs of acne back yet for you then? Which pill were you on? I'm on marvelon

The biggest tip I have for you is step away from mums net! It made my TTC period quite difficult as I did become very obsessed. I put a lot of pressure on myself and my husband. Everyone is different of course but I jumped straight in to symptom spotting, opk's, obsessively peeing on sticks. I decided I had to give myself a mumsnet rehab and try not to worry about ttc for a month and that's the month I got pregnant lol. The support here is great but I find it does make you over think everything in the early days. X
