Welcome leasha!!

I was on the pill for abotu 15 years and my AF stayed the same af if i was on the pill when i stoped taking it. But I think this was because to took a long time for the pill to wear off. I took about 18-20 months to get my BFP.

I hope your GP and give you some answers! Good luck with TTC

Very true, you do have to be diligent with time management when you have kids, and you have to learn to leave things that need doing, if you need sleep, leave the dishes they arent so important that you can't do them later. If you need sleep you need sleep! And what better reason to be up in the middle of the night!

Welcome leasha, I don't have any experience with that, I hope the doc gives you some answers :)

How exciting Kristy! Welcome to the thread, sorry I can't answer your clomid question but hopefully someone can tell you, if not your doctor could probably advise the best for you xoxo

Haha I just read back on my post about sleep and chores and it makes no sense whatsoever lol so there you go that is proof of sleep deprivation haha.

Casey that is so exciting about doing midwivery! After having DD in 2009 I really thought, wow that's something I would love to do, but probably don't have the time or effort to spend years of nursing to get there. That's WA anyway, could be different where you live. I was also considering becoming a doula. I would love to do the less medical side of things.

I hear you about the DH wanting to be stay at home dad! My DH wanted to, sad thing is he would make a terrific sahd but I could not be away from DD everyday. I just couldn't. Sometimes I think maybe I am so selfish, DH works two weeks away and is away from his wife and kids for two weeks just to give me the opportunity to be a sahm. What a darling he is. I always say what goes around comes around coz when he reaches retirement age I will still have ten working years to go so he'll get his moment

SLEEP What is that...? Actually DS has been a great sleeper since he was about 3 weeks old.. until the last week, when he's started waking 5-6 times a night... yuk!! Bit off a shock to the system...



DP would make a terrible sahd too and never even mentioned the idea which is lucky because I would have flat out said NO!! I couldn't leave DS.

Leasha, Im told it can take an average of 12 months for your body to regulate itself after coming off the pill. Definitely talk to your dr though. Welcome and good luck with TTC!

AFM - 3 & 1/2 weeks till DS turns 1!! Yay! Which means I will be stopping taking the pill, still BF DS, pretty much exclusively because he really isn't interested in food Im undecided about weaning. But its not affecting my cycles so it doesnt really worry me too much at this stage.

So the count down is on!! Im so excited, cant wait to be pg!!

hi Larissa! Glad to see you here.

how long untill you TTC again?

Louise: Yay for the go ahead from your Endocrinologist. I hope your TTC journey is a short one. Will be keeping an eye out for your BFP announcement and birth announcement.

Rachel (Raff): Thank you for your advice re: my neice. I will def pass it on to my step-mother. Hopefully she can figure out why Melissa is such a naughty girl. Fingers crossed.
I will be stalking your WHOLE journey.

Precious Cargo: How cool!!! You’ll have the keys sooo soon!! That’s so exciting.
Advice on renos are; get heaps of quotes from all different places and don’t let them dictate to you. You know how you want things to look and if they don’t agree don’t use them. I had this problem with my kitchen because it’s so small and in the middle of the house most places did not want to put an island in it but I wanted the island and I got my island and it looks awesome!!!

Sara (Twnimonkey): I wish I had your patience. I would explode if my DH did that in the house. It’s bad enough at the moment – being a work in progress – with dust everywhere and skirting boards waiting to be put on taking up my lounge and dining room and rooms with no skirting boards. Bugs keep coming up between the floorboards and the wall. It’s funny to watch.

Possumpie: I hope your DH come around soon. It would be awesome to hear/see you come here and shout that it’s a go ahead. Now that would be GREAT NEWS!!

Casey: I really hope the 6 weeks goes quickly for you. There is nothing worse than waiting on results. I can really empithise; it took 8 weeks for our chromosone test after the 3 rd m/c. Longest 8 weeks of my life. I can’t give you too much info re sperm sample but DH HAD to give a “fresh” sample at a clinic. Apparantly it is not as hard as us girls think. Of course afterward I was a bit immature knowing what he had just done….I teased him all the way home from Coffs Harbour. That was the longest 3 hours of DH’s life. Hahah
Midwifery. How cool. I think I would like you to be my midwife…..pity we are sooo far away.
I really hope AF has shown up.

Leasha (leasha83): Welcome to M&B. Fingers crossed for you that your GP will have the answers.

Kristy (katesmummy): Yay on convincing DH for #3. I hope it doesn’t take you 12 months again. I’m sorry I can’t help with the clomid question.

MissT: OOOOO Yay, the count down is on. Good Luck!!

Larissa (Larissa Jade): Welcome. Good Luck with your TTC journey


AFM – Thank you all so much for your support and understanding of my very self-centred and sad story. Unfortunatley the way I am at the moment I need all the help I can get. I was doing Zumba the other night and I just burst into tears. Nothing that I know of set me off. I just felt like a volcano was brewing in my tummy and chest and I thought to myself “I’m going to cry” had to run out of the class before I did.
I actually have some good news. DH has decided to have one more natural cycle before going through IVF. We will only get one chance but that is all it takes because if we do anymore we will miss out on our Oct PGD Work-Up and Feb Transfer which we are really hopeing for. I will come off my pill tomorrow and we will start from there.
I hope I got back to everyone. I’m sorry that I don’t come on here more often, I really should, but when I do get the chance I will reply to everyone.
Until next time GBH to everyone.

Thanks for the welcome ladies

I'm kind of excited and releived, we saw my GP this morning and she gave us the OK to start TTC again!! Yay!! I wasn't sure if we'd have to wait a few cycles or what but she said it's all good and we can start as soon as we're ready.

We had a chat and when it boils down to it I just want to be pregnant again ASAP and I feel like if we wait then my head and fear will get in the way and it'll all get too much and my head will basically be in the way, so we are just waiting for signs of ovulating and we'll give it a shot

I have no idea when I'll be o'ing though, my cycle was usually 28-32 days most months, so yeah, I still have a bunch of OPKs so I'll get them out again.

Thanks sooo much for the support and kindness everyone - I hope we're all gonna have quick, successful TTC journeys!!
