TTC #3

Hi all!
Just after any other experiences really.. we have decided to try for baby no.3..

First baby - I was on the pill for about 10 years and stopped taking this and had my usual withdrawal bleed and pretty much back to normal. It did take a year to conceive DD1. Following an emergency CS, I was advised to wait a year before another baby.

Second baby-came off the pill again when DD1 was about 13 months old. Again, had my withdrawal bleed and one period followed by conceiving first cycle!

Fast forward to now. I stopped my pill again in September, had a withdrawal bleed and a normal period. But this second cycle is going for 37days now. I've never experienced this when stopping the pill before and whilst I know it can take a good few months to regulate them again, I'm just a bit surprised this has never happened before and quite honestly it's getting me down as it's stopping us from trying again.
I'm 28, and never had pcos picked up or anything. I've taken several different branded pregnancy tests obviously, all of which are negative. I've never been one for waiting 🤣

Thank you

Good luck!!! I’m 34 and ttc baby number 4, I never did like odd numbers haha. If we are lucky to get pregnant this will be our last baby. This is our 5th cycle of trying. My cycles are an absolute joke, I was taking loads of vitamins and I think it’s really messed them up so back to vit d and folic acid. I am currently 12dpo and defo not pregnant. Praying next cycle is our cycle :)

Fingers crossed for you too!! It's just so horrible this waiting game isn't it. I think that's what happened with my first baby is the vitamins I was taking, making my cycles a little funny. This time I've absolutely no idea why. It's so worrying, and fed up of 'wasting' tests as it's still not arrived yet! 🤞🏼

Hi yes, me. I'm 36 and TTC baby #2

I'm on cycle #1 so still early but I'm using Flo to track and I'll take a test this weekend. The waiting is agonising.

Sorry to hear about your irregularity. I know stress and thinking about it too much makes my cycles weird xx

@RadDarwazeh good luck to you guys 🤞🏼 I'm sure your little one would love a little sibling ♥️

I'm hoping it's the stress of Christmas 😂 now day 40 into this cycle. For my first two pregnancies I've only ever taken folic acid the day I've found out I was pregnant (despite the fact you should take it prior to trying)
But TTC #3 I've been taking folic acid for a few months now and I'm wondering if that's got anything to do with it hmmmmm...
