I came off the pill between Christmas and NY ready to TTC DC2 Smile

I'm very excited! But trying to relax and just see how it goes - I'm not temping or using OPKs or peering at the calendar every day to see when I should be ovulating Grin

DC2 is almost 3 so I've been back on the pill 2.5 years. Only took 6 weeks to fall pregnant last time but I'm aware my cycles could be irregular this time, and it may take longer.

Other threads I've joined seem to focussing around OPKs and early testing but I'm not doing that (no disrespect to anyone who is, it's just not for me!) I'm focussing on eating healthily, exercising regularly and chilling out.

Anyone else out there the same?!

Hello all :) thought I'd join the conversation as we have been trying in a relaxed way for a while now. Came off the depo December 2019, AF made a comeback in June 2020 and nothing has happened since.. other than trying to regularly enjoy DTD and recording it in an app we're not really doing anything else no ovulation testes etc. I am however getting a little anxious that nothing has happened yet as time continues to pass... would love to keep chatting on here as I don't have many people to talk to about this other than hubby as we're keeping it to ourselves to not feel any pressure from others constantly asking. I think im due to ovulate tomorrow or the day after so TWW is about to start too..

Hello! Still here! Was due AF on Monday but came on today Confused Not the worst though as I've just accepted a promotion on Thursday so a month or so grace between starting the job and getting pregnant probably isn't the worst thing! Fingers crossed for next time.

@ploopypleepy oh I've managed to find the energy from somewhere! Grin yes I'd say that's normal when you're just off the pill, will take your body a little while to adjust.

@EekFirstTimeTTC hello and welcome 👋🏻 so you've been trying for just over a year now? They do say that most couples fall pregnant within 2 years of trying. I think you've done very well to stay relaxed throughout! Feel free to join us, hope your TWW has some positive news at the end of it Smile

@DuzzyFuck good that you can look on the positive side! Big congratulations on the promotion 🥳 maybe work distractions will help TTC too, if you've got other things to focus on 🤞🏻

Well I think yesterday may have been the day I ovulated and I didn't DTD 😤 Hmmm. Will make sure I pounce on DH tonight and hope thats good enough.

@2021ComeAtMe how you getting on? According to Flo I would have ovulated in the last couple of days so have been DTD every other day. So now in the loooong 2WW.
