Hi,
Newbie here, hope it’s okay to pop by and introduce myself!
My fiancé and I decided this week that I should come off the pill and TTC - this happened last Monday and since then I’ve been ridiculously excited and having to reign myself in and not get too obsessed haha!
He has children from a previous relationship and we had a discussion when we got together, he didn’t particularly want more children now but would be happy to reassess in a few years.
In the last couple of months Doctor has said I’m likely to have endometriosis (not confirmed, but family history and all symptoms apparently point that way). I’m 33 and the doctor did say I may find it harder to conceive and ran through some stats.
Other half and I then had another talk and agreed we’d start trying next year. However, this last week we were having a conversation he blurted ‘stop taking the pill’ and that he feels ready with me and to start trying, rather than delay things when there is already the possibility it won’t be easy.
I’m addition to worries over how successful we’ll be I do have slight worries that it’ll be my first, and as not my partners first it won’t mean so much to him. I was worried he only agreed to appease me but he’s said he’s happy too so I need to try not to worry I guess.
