Brand new and nervous

[Redandyellow]

Hi everyone, I'm really new to this and don't have a clue what I'm doing, so please excuse me if I get anything wrong or don't understand abbreviations! I'm 26 and got married to my fella of ten years in Dec 13. Childhood sweethearts n'aww. Anyway, we'd like to try for a baby now and I've just come off cerazette after being on it for around 7 years. I quit smoking last year and put about a stone and a half on that I'm trying to lose. This has pushed me to a bmi of 28 which I'm worried about. I don't remember what my period is supposed to be like as it's been that long since I've had a real one. I bled last week so decided to just stop the pill on Friday and see what happens as I thought maybe my body had just had enough. Does anyone have any tips or advice on what happens when you come off the pill, and how long it could take to become fertile? I a, in good health aside from being on the chubby side. I'd really appreciate some advice, thank you x

Hello and welcome to the site were all very friendly and excited to have more people to share this journey with.

I came off the pill micro(something) and I fell that month. I was on the pill for 5 years.

Everyone is different though.

Are you trying straight away? Or are you waiting for a while?

I have stopped the pill and I'm waiting to try for our second. So just waiting to see how long my cycles are.

Hello Tasha, thanks for replying! We have decided to try straight away as it has been that long since I had a cycle I don't have a clue what my dates will be like, so we thought hey ho just go for it! Good look with your journey xx

Hello! I am totally new to this too and looking for some ladies to chat to who are going through the same thing! My husband and I have been married for just over a year and decided to start trying this month but by the time I had searched the internet and downloaded many ovulation apps I realised I had missed my ovulation period! So we are now on for July .. Desperately waiting for my cycle to start (didn't realise how long a couple of weeks would feel!!) so we can officially start .. I'm sure this will be the only time I am wishing a period in the months it take to conceive!! Good luck to everyone also TTC in June/July!! xx
