Hi ladies, hope you don't mind me joining in! I have been lurking around for a few days and have learned so much already and you all seem lovely
I'm 24, well 25 next month and been married to my lovely hubby for a year and a half I've been a total miss broody pants ever since our wedding but there has always been something to stop us TTC, I was doing a postgrad course at uni and then started a new job this summer just gone so we had to be sensible. Anyway we have finally decided to just go for it so I came off my pill on 27th november WOOo yay! Its so nice to finally be able to TTC after wanting so badly to try for so long even though its only our 1st/2nd month, it feels like longer when you've wanted it for so long already
We were just going to NTNP for a while and use withdrawal method until at least april, with me not having been in my job very long . But in my first 2 and a half weeks off the pill we only managed the, er, withdrawal part once! We realised that we want a baba even more than we had thought (and that was a LOT) so we are properly TTC now, decided life is too short for messing around and putting work first!
My AF arrived on 15th dec and I was gutted! Did not really think for a moment that it would happen so quickly (I have done enough reading about TTC during my not-trying-but-really-want-to months that I know it can take years for some people)... but still felt so disappointed and crap especially since it was accompanied by yet another facebook pregnancy announcement from someone I know, grr! You spend so long being told as a teenager that one slip-up and you will get up the duff IMMEDIATELY haha, so the first month you have unprotected sex all month and nothing happens is really hard to get your head around! Lol.
But never mind, onwards and upwards! I was planning to just let nature take its course and not try OPK's etc, but already that has gone out of the window and yesterday I ordered 100 opk's, 15 preg tests, 3 bottles of evening primrose oil and a bottle of grapefruit juice which I've heard is good for fertility (which by the way is minging! I want a baby so much but even I don't know if I can drink that stuff haha!). I've ordered the opk's online so they'll probs arrive too late for this cycle, but looking forward to trying them. I'm a bit worried after being on the pill 6 years whether it will take me ages to get back into a regular cycle... The AF I've just had only lasted 2 days which is really unusual for me (usually 5 days) so I'm not even sure whether to count it as a proper one? Plus I had long cycles before going on the pill so a bit worried about that too. So we shall see what happens!
Anyway, sorry for such a long and rambling post! Looking forward to meeting other people ttc too! Xx
