25 wanting advice TTC! Stitch pain!?

[clucas1988]

Hi, me and my hubby are trying for a baby, we started about 3 weeks ago, Im taking folic acid and having sex 3 x a week.
We are both 25yrs old, and Ive not been off the pill before, so I don't know how long it will take to concieve?? Or how I will feel having a natural period. I had a bleed comming off the pill.
I'm getting bigger boobs and soreness there, I had a stitch like pain for about 2 days on my right side, what is this?! It really hurt on the right side, but not on my stomach...!

Just basicly like some help and advice, to stop me googling and driving myself insane! I think everyone has a baby except me lol, I so want this!

Thanks guys...xx Carrie xx

Hi there! I'm 25 as well and we are on our second cycle of trying for our first baby DH finally said he was ready a couple months after I stopped the pill. I came off the pill in august and one thing I specifically remember about 2-3 weeks after taking my last pill was a painful stitch in my side!! Mine lasted for about half a day. It felt like a running stitch and it hurt when I sat down. I still don't know what was but I put it down to ovulation or something. I haven't had it again.

Wishing you lots of baby dust!!!

I experienced this too!! I thought I had to have my galbladder removed or something it was so bad.. I believe they are ovulation cramps!

Hey I'm 24 and ttc#1
Well the pinching is a great sign!!!

Everybody's body reacts differently to coming off birth control. Hopefully you are one of the lucky ones who get your BFP straight away!
Good luck

Oh thanks ladies that is so sweet of you all to say such niec things!
You think all sorts of crazy stuff dont you when youre TTC! My best friend has just announced her pregnancy too which is so lovely but also I CANT WAIT FOR MINE! LOL. in the nicest possible way though, i love her lots lol.
Any tips on what to do to increase chances??
I'm guessing my hormones are pretty good if im getting all sorts of things going on already comming off the pill, so Im going to take that as a good sign!

Thanks so much for all your help & serious baby dist to us all lol xxx

It's exciting hey?
Take prenatals and use ovulation tests too so ou can determine when you ovulate
Good luck x

 

[clucas1988]

Its exciting yet horrible, im taking way to many preg tests lol!!

Whats prenatals?
And do you think ovulation kits work???
Thanks!xxxxx

Prenatal vitamins (such as Elevit. Ask your dr what they recommend)
Also make sure to go to your dr and let them know that you are going to start TTC... I got given a blood test and he ran heaps of tests to make sure everything was good... Found out I wasn't immune to chicken pox so I had to get immunised (it put TTC on a 10 week hold, it was horrible) and I also got my whooping cough shot and so did my hubby so we won't need to when we do have a baby.
It also told me that I need more iron and sunlight lol.

And make sure you like your doc I meet so many women on here who seem to have horrible doctors!

I think OPKs (ovulation predictor kits) do work but it can be stressful... To get a reliable result you need to test each day at the same time. I am someone who always has LH in their system so I ALWAYS have a second line, so you just have to wait for the second line to be equally as dark or darker than the control line.
I don't use OPKs every month, only now and again.

Hope this has been helpful. Good luck x

my doctors are abit rubbish they dont really do blood tests or anything, they basicly say try for a year and if nothing happens then come back lol.
Yeah it is so important to like your doctor, our family planning doctor is horrible, so im not sure what to do, if i can just see my normal doctor who doesnt specialise in pregnancy/fam planning, or to move doctors?

Im taking vitamins and folic acid, dont smoke, and i dont drink really anyway, but i will have a couple (nothing major) for xmas, as i think i dont want to stress myself and also want to enjoy life still! (also take a preg test before lol to make sure im negative first!!)
The ovulation kits im unsure of.... i like the idea of knowing, but then i think it could become obsessive (for me anyway) i want to be as relaxed as possible.

I havent had a period yet, I had a withdrawel bleed after stopping pill, and that was 20th Nov, I figured I might be due 20th Dec? No show from AF!
Had horrendously sore nips lol , and the stitch pain, a while ago, but all gone now, just feel like AF is comming......but she doesnt!
Preg tests all neg......
Just a waiting game really now! Wish I knew what was going on inside my body lol.

Thanks again for explaining stuff xx
