TTC #1 after Implanon

[EmmySocks]

Hi i'm now getting up! Bit excited - think the implant wearing off quickly maybe? Af's arrived and i think it might be my first proper one in years! Never been more excited to be in pain. I'll have to wait and see what happens for the next month or so but would be nice if its going to sort itself out quickly.

Yesterday was our 3 year wedding anniversary - going out tonight to celebrate!

Glad your scans are looking good. Hope you both having a good week so far Xxxx

Congratulations on your anniversary Emmysocks, how did you celebrate?
That's such good news that you have AF already - now you're all set! Is NTNP still the plan for now?

We've arrived in Hull so once we're done unpacking I'll get on and order my TTC bits - BBT, OPKs and some preseed. Can you tell I'm excited? ;-)

Grace - thanks we went out to the poshest restaurant - it was lovely but posh really isn't my thing - however it was nice to have experienced it and hubby said we'd better do the big blowout anniversary at the posh restaurant because we might not be on our own next year! I'm glad AF is here and i don't even mind that it's a bit uncomfortable - i'm hoping that means it's a proper one. Am sort of thinking i want to be one cycle clear, see how this cycle goes - hoping it's straight back to my standard 28 day - and that way i'll know where i am. Also it's school holidays here (i work in a school) and i really shouldn't come back from the summer pregnant, my class isn't ready for september, we don't have enough staff already and risk assessment will probably suggest i can't stay in my class if i am pregnant i'm so torn on this, i really don't want to leave my kids, but it's probably fairly high risk for a pregnant woman (we get a fair amount of hitting, kicking, headbutting...)

Wow nearly ready to go! you've got the whole ttc starter kit - i'm excited for you.
So you've moved now? all done? what's your new home like? xxx

Aww Emmysocks that is so sweet of your husband. He just wanted to do something special with you, even if it wasn't your usual thing. My husband isn't particularly romantic like that, it's me who does all the planning! He makes up for it in other ways though.

We looooove our new place! Seriously, I can't get over it. 2 bedrooms both with a king size bed so we can actually have guests, a master bathroom with a bath and also an en suite with a shower which we've never had before. The showers are really good quality too. Our mattress is heavenly - soo comfortable! Then there's a large open plan kitchen/living room with a big corner sofa, AND there's a dishwasher. Feels like a palace compared to our last place! When you rent a furnished flat you don't get any choice over the bed, sofa etc and for the first time everything that's here is exactly what we would have chosen! So happy 😃

Sorry I haven't been on in a bit, but it is good to sit down and catch up with you ladies.
Emmy- Congrats on the anniversary! I hope you had a good time. Fingers crossed for you that this cycle is totally normal! Also, it is so cool that you work in a school, what ages do you work with?

Grace- It is so great that you are happy in your new place!! Getting a place already furnished sounds pretty nice, and a whole lot less to move I bet. Are you excited about all of your TTC supplies? I just bought some preseed, though I've never used it before. And I think I will wait a bit this time before ordering opks and charting BBT, though I have a feeling I will cave pretty quick and start sooner than I think.

As for me, I got my implanon removed this morning so I am super excited!!! Funny story about that though, when the Dr. came in to look at it, she marked the placement for the nurse to numb then she left the room. When the nurse came in to give the numbing shots, I guess she didn't see the mark that the Dr. made and numbed the area around my previous scar site and not around the current implant... So when the Dr came back they had to numb the right area also, so in total I had eight injections in my arm. Here it is twelve hours later and I still can't feel the area. But hey, better that than pain I suppose! I didn't even mind any of it though, I am just so happy to have it out!

I hope you guys are having a great weekend so far!

Grace - your new house sounds amazing! and you get a dishwasher! That's so lucky that they've chosen such lovely furniture. We started off in a furnished flat a few years ago - rented a room off a friend and when we all left she let us take some furniture with us to get us started in our new unfurnished house (like a bed!). Glad you are so happy with your new home!

mrs.micci - Wahooo! it's gone! Can't believe they messed up numbing your arm though! Good job they noticed! My arm felt cold and heavy after 3 injections so can imagine how weird yours feels right now! haha hope it wears off soon
Thanks - we had a lovely anniversary- definitely doesn't feel like 3 years!
I work in a special school, the kids in my class range from ages 7- 12, they're all amazing and all have asd. I love my class, it can be challenging but it's so much part of my life i really miss it when i'm not there. I consider the other staff in my class my close friends and if i had to leave (even if i stayed in the same school) i'd be devastated. if it happens i'm sure it'll be worth it and i know they'll let me back in afterwards!

[GraceER]

Woohoo mrs.micci no more implants in this group! Really hope but of your have nice normal cycles now they're out. It feels weird at the moment every time I take my pill at night because the pack is counting down the days to TTC! The fertility bits from amazon should arrive next week so I think I'll start temping then just to get into the habit - I'm sure I'll forget to begin with! I've set up an account on fertility friend but there is no way to input a chemical menopause and it clearly needs a last period date to function properly. I might have to make one up!

Just checking in to see how everyone is doing? I know it's monday but did you have a good weekend?

We've decided to move over to NTNP a little earlier than we originally planned. Very excited, have been keeping an eye on how i feel and what my body is up to. i feel like it's magically reverted back to how it was before the implant - i'm so impressed i keep telling Mr Socks everytime i notice something that didn't used to happen on the implant (he's really enjoyed hearing all about cm!) and my sex drive is so definitely back!

mrs.micci - i know it's only been a few days since you had it out, but do you feel noticeably different now it's gone?

xxxxx

 

[mrs.micci]

Thanks guys, I am really happy to have it gone!

Grace- Those days are ticking down! I'm sure you'll get the hang of temping, practice makes perfect

Emmy- Yay! That is exciting that you are starting early! I'm glad things are going back to normal for you!
I feel like I am too, though I haven't had any sign of AF yet. I have noticed a few major changes though, I had really bad breakouts on my face and those have almost completely cleared up, I've had really bad heartburn, been tired, and a bit nauseous. Not reading too much into those though, probably just my body resetting.

 

[EmmySocks]

How's everyone?

I'm not so convinced that my body has gone straight back to normal. I should be ovulating today but haven't had any usual symptoms, cm is pretty standard... nothing exciting happening.

I know it's too early to worry about it - it's only been a few weeks since i had it out. argh! It could take several cycles to get back to normal but i'm really annoyed because i want it now! haha ... sorry i'm nuts! This is exactly why i'm supposed to be NTNP and not watching for any of this stuff...

 

[GraceER]

I admire you for trying to NTNP. Even aside from medical reasons, my brain is just not wired to be relaxed about things. I either don't want something, or I want it NOW! I know how hard it is t just sit back and let things happen.

I really hope my body springs into action once I come off the pill but I realise it might not. I'm just trying not to think too much about it because there's nothing I can do!

 

[EmmySocks]

Haha i'm hardly relaxed! I am going to try to be from now on in. Obviously if i havent ovulated my body isnt ready yet. It might just be that it wouldnt have happened anyway or it might be an after affect of the implant or it might be very late. Whatever. I'm not supposed to be looking for it anyway but i think i would have really liked it to happen first cycle.

I feel silly because i have no good reason to rush it. I know you need it to happen quickly as possible because of your endo. I think we all have trouble waiting and not really feeling in control of it and being impatient so i'm sure its ok not to be so relaxed! Xxxx
