Just off the pill!

Hi lotsa_hugs

Wanted to wish you good luck with your TTC journey.

I would suggest that you do start recording your temps over the next few months so you can pin point exactly when you ovulate and to make sure you are actually ovulating. I found when I started recording my temps instead of ovulating on day 14 I was o'ing a week later which explains why it took us a while to fall pregnant as I was timing things all wrong. It was only observing over a couple of months what my temps did I actually worked things out! If you can do it now while the pressure is off and you are not TTC then this might save some frustration when you start trying.

Good luck!

Maybe I should start charting my temp as well.... Not too keen on checking CM though Even though I can't wait to get a I'm almost tempted to just "see how we go" for the first few months...not check temp/CM. I feel like that could make it less 'romantic' (I know I'm being corny now!!!), but you know what I mean...?!? If after a couple of months still no luck, then will prob start charting. .....decisions, decisions......

Good luck to all, I'm glad there's a few of us pre-TTC out there. Much easier to talk about it on here, than with friends (as they don't know we are TTC soon!)

hey, i feel the same as you don't worry, but if i can get a rough idea of when i o then it will be better for us to know when to do bd either side of the day. in all fairness i'm not sure it will be that 'romantic' but what can you do. i figured it's easy to chart cm and not gross at all!if nothing happens for a while after ttc then i will start with temps.
i saw the dr. last week and she said the best thing to is not worry or you won't o at all!

Hi everyone,
I just came off the pill and am just bursting to be able to start ttc. we are not going to start trying properly for a couple of months but if it happens earlier then i certainly won't complain.just thought it would be nice to have some other hopeful mums to chat to in this tense wait.

ladies!

Just thought I'd share with you all that I did a new ticker last night and it's only 1 month, 3 weeks and 2 days til we start TTC!!!! YAY!!!!

When are you all planning on starting to TTC? We should try to stay in touch if we are all trying to convieve around the same time....We will be mid - late March (I dated my ticker about a week before I think I am due to 'o', cos I figure we'll be that excited that we will probably "start" about then) LOL

Is this everyones first time TTC? It's our first! I am soooo excited.

Does anyone have a 'names' list??? haha I do! We will have to share our lists

Ok, I know I sound SUPER excited & totally off the "off the pill" topic ....Sure sign I should finish this post now

I stopped taking the pill in Nov 08 and still have not had a period. I have had blood tests. Internal ultrasounds / pap smears - everything! I feel like a stuffed Xmas Turkey ha ha
Everything is 'in working order' but Im just not ovulating or cycling which is so fustrating - did any of you have such a wait from going off the pill to getting a period? and what was the casue of it???
I am due to see the gyno again this thurs and that is when (fingers crossed) I will be put on provera and clomid to get things going as is so fustrating!

hey reggie b, that's disheartening but try not to stress. the doctor told me not to stress or you might not o. but that's easy for me to say i suppose.
after stopping the pill i seemed to have a regular 31 day cycle. but that was just the first month so we'll see what happens this month.
good luck!
