Hi ladies,
I just wanted to post and tell you my story as I always loved reading about other people's success and also maybe I can give someone a bit of hope when they're feeling down about ttc (as I did most of the time!).
I came off Cerazette in October 2009 after me and my husband decided the time was right to try for a little one. I didn't have a period (not even spotting) for over 60 days. During that time I experienced every pregnancy symptom going and was convinced I had fallen straight away (that is how I found this site!).
I eventually settled into a 33 day cycle after 6 months.
I soon fell in to the whole obsessive poas pattern (usually from 6 dpo -
) and every month went through the same rollcoaster of emotions. I think to be honest the whole thing caused me a bit of depression and I often wondered what was wrong with me.
Anyway, after another horrible
last month I decided to give up for a while and go back on the pill. I just didn't feel I was coping with the whole ttc very well and needed a break for my sanity.
Anyway as you can see from below I haven't ended up going back on the pill.
Here are some things I have learnt from this whole experience; I hope they might help someone else:
Sorry for the long post but I have gained such useful info from the ladies on this site over the last 11 months I wanted to let everyone know one thing - don't give up!

Here are some things I have learnt from this whole experience; I hope they might help someone else:
- IC are crap - only got a decent line on one when I got 2-3 on a digi
- I know everyone says this and god knows I couldn't do it apart from the last month, but I am sure half the reason I am pregnant now is because I relaxed about it
- I am a big girl and was worried this would affect my chances but I have always ovulated. Also, midwives, docs and scan lady have all been lovely and no-one has been nasty about my size
- My hubby hated the whole 'ovulating' thing and I soon learnt that if he got a wiff of me only wanting to BD cos of the time of the month he would have 'performance issues' so I learnt to keep quiet!
- Pregnecare conception is the absolute best pre-natal and really increased my ewcm - really recommend it
- Asda hpt are great - £3.90 for 2 and they're 15miu
- My symptoms before getting a bfp were the same as I got every month for af so all my sysmptom spotting in previous months was pointless!
