Newbie TTC and to the forum

[Baby Cakes]

Hi all
I recently joined this forum as me and my OH ( know some but not all the lingo lol ) are trying to conceive with no 1. Im really excited about our new adventure.
My story so far is I was on the pill (Cerrezzette now cerele I think) for a long time .
After having the baby talk with my OH we decided that we'd try for baby no 1 .
I stopped taking the pill in sept 17, after reading on forums etc from other ppls experiences when they come off it I was a lil worried that the time I've been in them that it may take a while for my hormones to go back to normal.
However I was quite shocked that it only took 19 days for my first AF to show up which made me happy . However my cycles are not regular yet (I'm using glow to track) .
I'm trying not to get in too deep with this gotta DTD every other day and going crazy in my fertile period etc.
I have only tested once and got BFN 😔 That was only due to my AF being one day late , OH was saying it's too early but I had to do it it was on my mind all the time , am I or aren't I ? I needed to know.
I wanted to join so I can help and share experiences or worries or frustration that we come across along this what could be lengthy journey.
Good luck to us all x
Please feel free to say hi or ask any questions .

Welcome. Similar boat to me we are TTC baby no.1 and likewise I was new to all this. Abbreviations you will sharp get the hang of and everyone is super supportive. Made the world of difference for me, I always thought trying for our first might take a while and in the back of my mind always worried what if we can't conceive......we spend so long trying not to get pregnant it's quite a switch in mindset then once you have decided to try can be tough going if it doesn't happen right away. We are onto cycle 6 and this forum has been a huge support just as somewhere to rant and ask all the silly questions! Will follow your progress...get yourself onto Nov testing thread xx

Welcome baby cakes!

There’s a thread which is a little out of date but has the basics of abbreviations on -

You’re probably aware but just to say, your cycles can be a bit out of whack after coming off the pill so your cycles may not be regular for a little while so this makes it v hard to know when to test! But generally speaking you should mostly always get an accurate result from the day of your missed period. All the best!
