Hi Ladies. As of today we are officially ttc! After a lot of talking, waiting and more talking my OH and I have decided its time for baby number 2. I've been today and had the implant out! The nurse told me that fertility can take a week or more to come back? I was wondering if any of you have experience of this? Before having my 1st child I was on the depo injection and it took 7 months for me to get my fertility back.

officially TTC

Thanks Mariexo. Ideally i think i need to let my body have a full cycle before ttc as I have no idea where I am. But if it happens it happens.
I really need to buy some vitimins too but don't know which ones to get. They are all so expensive too.

Some people do prefer to wait a month first so that you can start "fresh" so to speak, and then begin tracking your cycles.
When I was TTC I used Seven Seas Trying For A Baby which were about £3.50 in Sainsburys, and now I take Seven Seas All Stages Pregnancy which are about £4.50 in Tesco. It'll help if your OH is taking vitamins too. My OH was and still is taking Seven Seas Multivitamin Adult.
It's entirely up to you which vitamins you take, but from my own experience and from reading other people's experiences, they've found the Seven Seas range pretty good. Some ladies take Pregnacare but I've read some reviews on those saying they gave some of the ladies tummy ache or cramps.
Entirely up to you though! Here are some photos of the ones I took:

And for your OH... Seven Seas Multivitamin Adult:
Hope this helps xx

You're welcome! Yeah they are reasonably priced, and you get a 4 week supply with all of them which is handy. £8 a month for the two of you to take vitamins for something so important is nothing in my opinion.
Keep us up to date with how you're getting on

All midwives suggest you take multivitamins through the first 12 weeks of pregnancy as a necessity because the baby is in desperate need of all of those nutrients - especially the folic acid. It's an essential nutrient that's particularly important in early pregnancy. It's been proven to greatly reduce the risk of babies developing potentially serious brain and spinal cord problems such as spina bifida. Taking folic acid while TTC has been said to increase fertility but not only that, it prepares your body to contain enough folic acid for when you do conceive. So I'd highly recommend you do take the vitamin tablets that contain folic acid.
Some women take them throughout the whole of pregnancy - that's what I plan to do and that is why I bought Seven Seas All Stages Pregnancy as you can take them throughout the whole 9 months. It's entirely up to you how you go about it - whether you just want to take them while TTC, for the first 12 weeks, or throughout the whole pregnancy. But midwives strongly suggest you carry on taking them while pregnant for at least the first 12 weeks while the baby's major organs and bones are forming.

Good luck, hope you don't have to wait too long for your BFP! X
They say it's good to take at least folic a 3 months before to 'stock up'. When we were trying fo DD we were both taking pregnacare for him and her but boy were they expensive!! This time around we are also gonna start trying in October and we just started taking vits; hubby takes the 7seas multivit and I started the 7seas pre-pregnancy vits.
Once again - good luck xx
