Just stop taking it, and make a note of the first day of each period you have. i think its more a luck game, but yes, being young is on your side. some people say wait 3 months - this is just to help dating of the pg, and if you are really keen, it will not do any harm to start trying now.

take folic acid and have lots of sex!

Ive been with mine since 15 too!

i got PG with my first at 19, had him at 20, and had DS2 when i was 21.

In all honesty its lovely,
You will have your first period (it may take a good while for the first one to start - so be prepared for a wait!)

Count 14 days from the first day of your period, and thats usually the time a woman ovulates, just have sex everyday. them test for pregnancy 14 days after that.

scorpio1 · 18/06/2007 14:03

a womans normal cycle is 28 days. your period is cd1 (Cycle Day 1) and you ovulate on CD14.(14 days from the start of your period)

however, this is a textbook cycle and many women are different to this.

to notice when you are fertile:

you may get ewcm - a stretchy clear mucus from your cervix. this is fertile mucus that helps sperm to travel through the cervix.it can be checked by having a look when you wipe, or you can go 'digging' for it!

you could use ov sticks: try accessdiagnostics.com for ovulation tests. they work like pg tests, but tell when you will ovulate.

try and have sex at least every other day

Hi pinkys

just a word of advice, sometimes it takes ages before you get your first period after cerazette.

I'm on da 42 since m last period, stopped cerazette 3 weeks ago and still nothing (and no, no bab either, I've done 4 tests, last one this morning).
It doesn't happen to everyone, but I did a bit of research and found that a lot of women had the same problem with this pill.

Just something to keep in mind!!
(so you don't worry unnecessarily)

best of luck with your plans!!

pinkys · 19/06/2007 10:25

webmum:
thank for your reply, yes i herd loads of differnt things about the pill, i really think it depends on the individual, like with your age, and how long u have been on that perticuliar pill. how long have u been on it?
