trying to concieve after coming off the pill

[brunettebimbo]

HI,

My husband and I want to start trying for a baby around April next year. I have been on microgynon for about 7 years and have read that you should wait for your periods to return properly before trying to concieve, so that you can predict your due date more accurately. Do most people do this or is it fine to start trying as soon as I stop taking tha pill?

I can't really help on that but I came off my pill on the 1st of December and began using the diaphragm so that I can get my periods regulated so that hopefully when we do start trying around April time it hopefully won't take as long if all goes to plan!

Hiya!

It's really different for everyone! I come off the pill 22nd September and still no baby! We been trying for 4 months tho so don't panic! It an take up to a year to get caught! Some women are different though, some fall straight away! The key is to not try and think about it too much because stress can delay your periods!! Just enjoy the baby making as if u just got with your partner!! It's so much fun!!

BABY DUST FOR YOU!!!! xxx

Ok, im totally new to all this its all a bit scary lol !! I was reading that you are apparently very fertile after coming off the pill...is this true? I took my last pill 19 December and should have started takin it again on 27th December but my husband and I have decided to TTC. I was wondering if I should assume that my next period (assuming I have one)won't be to the end of January? Does ur body automaically take up a 28 day cycle?? I no it can take a while for your body to regulate itself but I want to no when I can do a pregnancy test some of them say 4 days before ur period is due...I don't no when Im due tho lol.....U prob all gonna read this and think im utterly clueless

[brunettebimbo]

I'm not sure but I know that for some people they are fertile as soon as they finish taking the pill

Welcome to the forum Saz18! You sound like me when I came off my pill!!

Well when I finished my pill (4 days in mid-pack) I had a bleed 2 days later which lasted 2 days which is the withdrawal bleed from the pill. I'm not sure if it was because I finished the pill mid-pack or whether that was my real period. Anyway on the 20th October I had a real period because boy o boy did I know about it!! Anyway exactly 28 days later after this I had another period which was also very painful which I started on 17th. In December I was late (well, I thought I was) I left it a week late from when I was due on to take a preg test which was negative! I was heart broken and thought I wasn't going to get my periods but it just so happened I came on the next day which was the 21st December which makes my cycles 34 days instead of 28! I am now on my fourth month of trying and I've relaxed about the whole thing!! The first few months u just wanna get preg there and then!! Everybody's diff tho so pls dn't go on my records!!

Pls look in the forum Helloooo... where is everyone? this will make u realise wot baby making is all about!!!

GOOD LUCK XX

Don't worry I totally understand your concerns!! People are different but the key is to definately calm it as stress can delay periods which means you're not ovulating!! Just be careful and have fun with it, I am currently playing the waiting game at the moment I am due on or around the 21st Jan xx

[halfpint]

it can vary from person to person so much, some people go striaght back to 'normal' periods, others, like me, haven't.
i took my last pill on the 25th september and have had nothing since!

[saz18]

God!! Is that normal? Thats a long and stressful wait for ya doll. FIngers crossed its happens soon for ya!!! Ive just spent alot of my life thinking "I can't wait to have kids, but def not this side of 30 lol" and now here I am at 24 dying to see 2 little pink lines on a test instead of one. I seem to no very little other than jump ur husband and hope u miss a period lol lol. This site is wonderful tho and everyone here is so supportive of one another. So Ill de-stress and have fun trying and you girls can all help me get clued up on the science side of all this.

Fingers corssed for us all

Yep that can be normal, some people don't have periods for months! I thouht I would be like that but mine came back after 30 days! I'm due on around the 28th of this month I think so lets wait and see!

[saz18]

Ill keep everythin x'd for ya. Im due around the 24th (i think I wouldn't take my word for it lol) its just one big waiting game isn't it!!!

I'm not trying for a baby just yet (should be around march-april time) but I am praying that my periods are normal before then!!

[Emma B 88]

Do9 u mind if I asked Brunette imbo, would u b fine say if u fell pregnant now?

I have that attitude, my birthday is April 5th so I am rele not bothered whether I fall pregnant b4 then or not if I do then great if I dn't I get to get pissed at my own birthday bash!!

That's rele wierd Saz because I am due around the same time as u, I came on 21st Dec last month and my cycle was 34 days so 34 days from 21st Dec is the 24th Jan!!! How strange!!! That's if I dn't come on early I won't test b4 then, I WON'T I WON'T!!! Promise me u won't either!!

[saz18]

I x my we heart I won't doll strange indeed. If I came on 22nd Dec while on the pill and should have started a new pack on 27th but didn't does that mean I have my dates right and should in theory be due around 24th jan assuming I adopt a 28 day cycle?? Im really crap at this stuff.....But I won't test before that. xxxxx
