WTT with a view to TTC in Sept/Oct/Nov - looking for a TTC buddy!

[Soniamillie01]

Great news on the interview Elz, let us know how you get on? Fingers crossed! Good news about the eyes too, glad they seem better!

I'm not having a good day today, just work crap as my boss really does sweet FA all day and relies on me to keep the department and team running. Don't get me wrong I am more than capable but why should I do her job and her be paid £80k a year to sit on her arse ? (sorry for the language)! The panic spreading across her face this afternoon when she realised I am on leave for two weeks from Friday was priceless, my whole team dread me being off as she had no idea AT ALL! If she's not late in, on a three hour lunch or leaving early she is asleep at her desk! Part of me just thinks sit back, do your job and let everything else slip but I can't do that to my team.

Rant over, sorry

Cd10 for me and no ovulation signs, no cm - due to o on Friday I thing. No BD'ing either as DH is shattered so think we might miss this on but guess there is still time. Just a bit down as we planned in every other day from AF finishing and have only once (she finished sat), although I guess Sunday is once so again today, just expected DH to be a little more on board but guess it's allot of pressure. Please don't get me wrong I wouldnt be devastated if didn't get BFP this month as only just started ttc but will think it's because we didn't bd enough and that's the one thing we can control!

Sorry for being horrid, this is a bad day x

You only need to start BDing every other day starting on CD10, so you are still good to go!

Hi girls

My DH and i are planning our first baby at the moment. We have been married for just over 7 months. I am 27 and my hubby is 30.

We decided earlier in the year that we felt ready to have a family and had initially planned to come off the pill after christmas then TTC following this. We wanted to be able to save some money beforehand to buy all the newborn essentials, etc. However over the past few weeks we have both been becoming increasingly broody and have decided to bring it forward! Eek!

I took my last pill on Sunday night (i've spent the past 14 years on BC consisting of Cilest, Depo, Implant and then Cilest again. Most recently i've been on Cilest for about 3 and a half years). I really worry that it will take my body a while to settle down into normal cycles. Especially as i have been on BC for more than half my life and from such a young age - i started my periods when i'd just turned 12 and had horrendous periods.

I am now expecting my withdrawal bleed over the next few days then we will be TTC following this

I started taking Sanatogen Mother-to-be pills 3 days ago. They were on offer in Boots - 3 for 2! I don't know about anyone else but it felt really strange buying them for the first time!

I really haven't a clue what to expect with the 'trying' business and the whole coming off the pill issue, so i'm glad i stumbled across this forum and found all you guys to talk to!

Baby dust to everyone....

Welcome Babybumphope! Did you finish your full pill pack, or did you stop somewhere in the middle of it? Today is my 10th day off BCP (Orthro-tri-cyclen) I experienced WD bleed afew days after stopping, and it only lasted 2 days. So DH and I have been BDing most everyday since we have not a clue when I will ovulate! Haha. Baby dust to you!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Welcome babybumphope. I was on cilest for 14 yrs and am also wondering how long my cycles will take to regulate. I'm cd10 post coming off the pill, haven't had a normal cycle as yet so will see!

Almosthere - good luck hun, sounds as though you are covering all bases!!!

Were cd10 now so hoping to bd allot now!

 

[Elz]

Hi and welcome BabyBumpHope! I stopped taking my BCP (cerazette) about 2 weeks ago and haven't had any bleeding/spotting yet. I've heard it can take about 8 or 9 weeks for some people (I hope this isn't the case for me!), but good luck with TTC x

 

[BabyBumpHope]

Thanks for messages girls

Got a really silly question - what does cd10 mean? I'm still trying to get used to all the lingo and abbreviations on here! Hehe. I assume it's something to do with 10 days into your cycle...?? I know what BD is referring to but what exactly does it stand for...? I feel silly!

Hi babyBumpHope!

You´re in a similar situation to me. I´m also 27, recently married and just stopped taking the pill. Still waiting for that first real period before starting TTC and it´s driving me mad!

BD = baby Dance
CD = Cycle Day (I´m guessing!)

I think there´s a post somewhere on here with all the abbreviations.

Good luck with everything!

 

[miss malteser]

All the abbreviations are here x**Oops didn´t work. Just type abbreviations into the search thingy and you´ll find them!

 

[BabyBumpHope]

Thanks Miss Malteser.

It's nice to hear from someone in the same boat. Hopefully we'll both be lucky

What do they normally say about waiting for a natural period? Do you think thats what we should do too? The only benefit i can think of is that you'll be able to try to work out ovulation times easier but is there any harm in trying before the natural period? My best friend conceived both her boys 2-3 weeks after stopping her pill therefore never got her natural period as she was already pregnant.

Theres so much to think about!!

[Soniamillie01]

Bd - baby dancing (sex)
Cd - cycle day

Others that come up allot
Bc - birth control
DH - dear husband
Dd / dd - dear son / dear daughter
AF - Aunty flow (period)

 

[Jembug]

Hi ya, to all the ladies who are coming off BC, I was on it for 9 years and my periods become regular straight away. And it did inbetween stopping BC and having my 2nd baby. So fingers crossed it will be the same for you.

 

[miss malteser]

Hi BabyBumpHope,

I don´t think that there would be any problem TTC before the first natural AF arrives and a lot here seem to be doing that. However I prefer to wait just to make sure that everything is back in working order if you know what I mean. I´ve heard of girls who have to wait up to six months for their first AF after stopping BCP and I know that if that were me I´d end up doing pregnancy tests every couple of days just in case and probably drive myself crazy! Also in the event that there is a BFP, knowing your last natural AF date makes it easier to calculate due dates, scan dates, etc but I don´t think that´s overly important. x

Hi ladies,

Not had chance to get on here for ages. How are you all?

Has anybody actively started TTC yet?

We started last week. I'm on CD 16 at the mo. 9 days til AF is due so we shall see. Scary stuff x

 

[Soniamillie01]

Hi all. Hope everyone is well?

I am good and hoping to have some ovulation signs soon, on cd11 and ovulation due Saturday so hoping it does happen!

I'm having a better day today for those who read my post yesterday. Things are looking up - the develop who built our house has finally agreed to pay us compensation for the leak we had back on may - long story short our toilet system was fitted faulty and flooded our house top to bottom in may, we lived in a hotel for 16 weeks and moved back home late august after the place had been gutted! So were off work from Monday so are going to grab a last minute holiday and disappear for some sunshine! I must say though I am going to miss y

 

[Soniamillie01]

Oops ...

Going to miss you ladies - was going to take my phone / laptop but have decided against it. So I'll have alot to catch up on when I get back with fingers crossed some BFP!

This may be tmi - last night DH and I were BD'ing and afterwards I noticed I was bleeding slightly, not had that before so wondering if it is something due to coming off bc? Sorry if tmi

AF is due in 2 days for me and then we will be TTC starting on CD 10, which should be Oct. 2nd. So if AF comes ontime I will be able to test Oct. 21st!! I've never had a problem getting pregnant, so if it happens right away again, I will just have to go in right away to make sure it's not ectopic!

Good luck hun. I'm sure you'll be ok

 

[almosthere]

A week from today (sept 28) is when I will get more answers on my cycle. I will either get my real AF same time as I would have on BC, or if I don't I am either preggers, not ovulating yet, therefor no AF, OR my 2 day withdraw bleed a few days after pill may have been the beginning of my cycle and real AF. Hm...wonder what will happen, AF, BFP, or ovulation?! Haha so complicated I know :/

 

[Elz]

Soniamille01- Hope you have a lovely time away, you deserve it! Fingers crossed you come back with some exciting news!!

almosthere- Hope you get some good news too!!

Well I've just come back from my interview! I think it went ok. There's one more person to interview later on this morning so I'll know if I got the job sometime today! Fingers crossed!! I'll let you know later if I get it or not! I just need to find something to distract me for a few hours until I get the phonecall! x
