WTT - 6 month Wait

Ravenrose08 · Mar 28th, 2012, 10:21 AM

Hi there,

Im new to this portion of the forum, been on TTC for about a two months.

We have had to postpone TTC until my health is better. Im having to go on medication that is unsafe for pregnancy. Im going on Effexor/Venlafaxine to manage my anxiety and depression.

I came off my Implanon on March 1st and had AF on March 4th and this is my first cycle but i am going to use the Minipill just until i have come of my medication in about 6 months time.

Would be nice to get some support as this is a huge setback for me and my OH. He really wants me to have a baby and i wanted to as well but want to be healthy first.

Big hugs to you and your OH. I know how you feel - we are waiting for health reasons too (weight related) and I also suffer from anxiety and depression. Try not to let the wait get you down - try to see coming off BC as the beginning of your baby journey! That's what I'm trying to do with my weight loss, because I know it can't happen until I'm healthy, so I'm putting ally energy into it

you can do it! Xxxxxx

I'm sorry for the blow to ttc! That is really tough, I'll be waiting a smidge longer than you, we start in November because of my grad program.

Sounds like you're putting your children before yourself and that is a wonderful thing! These boards are great, supportive, and will definitely help ease any pain from wttc- it did for me!

I hope your wait flies by!!

Hey there. Sorry to hear that you're having to push back TTC. I am in exactly the same position as you so please do not feel alone! I too suffer from depression. My husband and I started TTC in December last year, we tried for a month and then I had a bad relapse and had to go back on antidepressant and anti-psychotic medication. I am also currently taking Venlafaxine. I'm not sure how long we will have to wait, but I'm figuring that it will be quite a while unfortunately.

Thanks for the support here

Made me feel much better, i mean im still young, im only 24 and OH is 26....so plenty of time yet.

I havent started on the medication yet but am going to start soon, just concerned about side effects.

Sorry to hear about some of your problems, but i guess life isnt smooth for most of us.
