Hey everyone. A couple of weeks ago my bf of 10 years dropped the bombshell that he would like to try for a baby. Although this hadn't really entered my mind before and at first I felt quite freaked out about the whole idea, I seem to be coming round far quicker than I ever thought possible. Originally I told him that I wanted to take the remaining two and a half packets of the pill. But over the last week I have decided to finish this packet (last pill to be taken on tuesday) and then start not using any contraception at all. I remember when I first went on the pill, I bled for a month and was wondering if this extended bleed was likely on stopping taking the pill?

I anticipate that it will take a while for us to fall pregnant and I'm quite happy as it will give me more time to get accustomed to the thought of being a mum. I am really pleased I found this forum as I never knew how little I knew about my own body i.e. ovulation! We are unlikely to tell any of our friends and family until the first 12 weeks are over (if we even get that far) so it's good to know that there are people to talk to about the whole process.

Best of luck to all those trying and congrats to all those already pregnant :D
 
Hiya and welcome

Hi and welcome to the forum :wave:

I bleed for a month too when I first started the pill, but didn't have any probs when I stopped it.

Good luck TTC :hug:
 
Hello and Welcome to the forum :wave:

Just to let you know, I was on the pill for 7yrs. I came off the pill and started trying straight away (a GP would suggest you have 3 normal periods until you start TTC). I fell pregnant within the first month. Apparantly you have a surge of hormones when you come off the pill as you can be extra fertile.
So it could be sooner than you think :wink:

What an exciting time for you both. Enjoy the journey.
 
Thanks guys :hug:

I am nervous about that whole fertility surge after coming off the pill as I think I need a little more time getting used to the whole idea of have a child. But hey, if it happens, it happens :wink: Last pill taken last night, so here goes!
 
Hi and thanks :wave:

*runs off to make babies in celebration of Valentines Day* :wink:
