Hi everyone, this is my first ever mumsnet post!!
I'm making my maiden voyage into the mumsnet world to find some likeminded ladies. Just getting to grips with the whole thing so if I'm better joining and existing thread would appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction!
Brief life history...!!!
Me and DH got married in May of this year, and planning to start ttc in December/January. I was on Cerelle and came off it in August so as to get it out of my system and understand my cycle, I was on the pill since I was 17 (11 years, I'm 28) and had long cycles of inconsistent lengths before this. It took 31 days for me to get my period.
For the past 2 months I've been using this fab app called Ovia to track my periods and try to identify my ovulation window - anyone else use it??
I now feel like I've got a pretty good idea when my fertile window is, and we now only use condoms during this time instead of all the time which is great for obvious reasons. I'm lucky that my DH is super keen for a baby (even more than me!) so was supportive of me coming off the pill and using condoms.
So....I'm a bit nervous, but excited about ttc!
I'm in 2 minds about whether to start trying in December or wait till Jan, I know it probably won't happen the first month we try but I'm conscious that December is filled with lots of festive parties and drinking, and I'm a bit paranoid about drinking while ttc.
Probably sounds very silly but would appreciate some advice!!
Any other tips on preparing to try would be much appreciated.
Thanks
