TTC

[Hmmm]

Hi everyone,

Me and my partner are trying to concieve we are both early 20's I stopped my pill on Wednesday after 5 years on it and started my withdrawal bleed on Friday, taking Folic Acid. We would like to concieve as soon as possible has any one got any tips?

It might be worth seeing your doctor for advice. I had what I thought was a withdrawal bleed when I came off the pill when dd was 1. My periods were all over the place for months and I had so many anovulatory bleeds. I'm in my 20s. Some people have no problems after the pill and some do. Fx for you x

Initially I’d get an app (like Glow) to monitor your cycles and roughly track ovulation. Fingers crossed you fall pg quick but otherwise you might eventually like to look into things like OPKs (ovulation predictor kits) to try and more accurately pinpoint it. Aside from that, try and keep things fun and relaxed, and try not to obsess every month if you can! Avoid expensive pg tests also, you can get cheap ones online (referred to as ICs on here) if you do develop a testing obsession and then use expensive ones to confirm. And just bear in mind your cycles might be a bit out of whack post pill. Good luck!

Thank you for the help, its so hard to try and not get our hopes up as it could take a while for my cycle to settle in. Hopefully it will happen soon

Staying relaxed and enjoying the journey if you can. Use first couple of cycles to get used to what your body does around ovulation....there will be sugns if you ovulate so listen out for them. I agree using an app might be helpful followed by opks. Good luck and welcome to the sheer madness world of ttc!

If you dtd every other day you'll be covered. I like the Ovia app. Good luck.

Ladies I need your help.
Get ready for the essay!!
Currently ttc first baby, ovulation day was predicted to start today going by flo app, I've not been checking or looking for ov before so don't actually know when in my cycle I ovulate.opk started on Wednesday and faint line so negative. Every opk taken since has been negative not even a faint line today. I have been checking cm/cf since end of period and had watery stringy cm on Monday and Tuesday and sharp pain on my left side. I'm guessing I ovulated earlier than predicted. Well going by this I'm about 5dpo.
I've been feeling very tired have bad back ache, I've had dull ache in stomach since Tuesday similar to af. Nausea and the smell of ketchup makes me heave. Dizzy If I stand up to fast and I'm soooo bloated and to top it off I'm also constipated. Cervix is very high and has tilted back. I have no idea whats going on and I don't trust Dr Google to check. My cycle can be anywhere between 25 and 31 days averaging at 28 days, cycle started on the 13th and lasted 4 days..
I'm so confused 😕 surely it's way to early to have any symptoms but there definitely there or do you think my minds playing tricks on me, please help ladies xx

Hey! I’m in the same situation! I’m not tracking using opks or anything for now but I did download Clue and am basing my cycles on what they used to be (30-33 days) ! Some woman ovulate instantly others it can take months! Just remember to enjoy yourself and try to dtd every other day!

We are just so excited just have to be patient and hope it happens soon how long did take all of you to convieve?
