Hi,
Apologies in advance for the long post.
Been a mumsnet lurker since we decided to start our TTC journey. The forums have helped so much explain things as starting out we didn't really have a clue on anything regarding ovulation, BBT, tracking etc 🙈
Its also helped reading about other people's feelings/experiences during their TTC journey as we haven't told anyone we are trying!
I'm 27 years old and have been on the combined contraceptive pill for almost 10 years. I stopped taking it on the 4/3/23 so we are very early in our TTC journey - currently cycle 2 trying.
Since stopping the pill i have had my withdrawal bleed and March and April periods and have shown through OPK that I hopefully ovulated in cycle 1 - still pretty early in cycle 2 so not yet i dont think.
I don't really know the purpose of this post. I suppose I'm hoping other people can share their TTC #1 stories especially after using hormonal contraceptive after such a long time. Most things conception are a first for us at the moment and it helps hearing other people's stories/timelines etc (also being able to ask/search for the answers to those questions I have no clue about 🤣)
I know I should be patient and relax but information overload helps me 🤣🙈 since deciding we both are ready its all I can think about 🙈 please reassure me this is normal 🤣
After a busy few years with houses, jobs, relocating etc we are both settled and want this so much.
If you got to the bottom 🤣thankyou so much for reading, apologies again for the long ramble but it's helped to write down and rationalise how I'm feeling 🙈
