Hi newbie planning to try in new year

[Kazz1n]

Hi,

I already posted in waiting to try section but then realised this is better for introduction! I'm 28 and have almost been married for one year but me and my husband have been together for 12 years. We have wanted a baby for a long time but only now does it make sense financially. We are going on our honeymoon in just over a week as we delayed it to our first wedding anniversary. When we get back I will just have a couple of days of the pill left and then I will be stopping taking them completely. When I spoke to the nurse she suggested waiting a couple of months to get a feel for my cycle before we try so we will be trying from the end of December/January. As soon as I stop taking the pill I will be starting to take folic acid. I am so excited/nervous to be finally trying for a baby soon....just gotta wait a little while. My hubby doesn't want to know when I'm ovulating or anything like that and would prefer us to just see how things go. I'm going to try and be as relaxed but not sure I will be tbh! I've already read so many posts on this forum and am already obsessed before we even begin trying!!

Looking forward to sharing this journey with everyone

Hi! Friends

Hi Kazz1n!

I've very recently come off the pill to begin TTC too! It's crazy how quickly you can start to over-think it - I'm trying so hard to remain relaxed

I know it's a bit crazy. Hopefully it doesn't take you too long to conceive. I think the fact that i still have a couple of weeks left of taking the pill is making me think more about it!! Did it take you long to get a normal period back after stopping the pill?

Hopefully it won't take either of us too long. Haha I can sympathise a little bit there - I got so impatient, I almost stopped mid pack but knew I'd be better off waiting for the end! My last pill was almost 3 weeks ago (currently CD19) and based on an app I'm using, I think I'll be expecting my period around CD30... but you never know, so watch this space! Obviously I am hoping it doesn't come, but I think it would be too much to hope that we'd fall that quickly!

Where are you off for your honeymoon?
