I am new & TTC

Hey ladies,

I am new on Baby Expert today. h2b and i are getting married in 5 days and have decided to start ttc. I had my implant removed 4 weeks ago and had my 1st AF last week for 1 week.

Before the implant i was on depo and before that my periods were extremely irregular (never had a set cycle), they were extremely painful and could last for 2/3 weeks a go!

anyone else had this problem and if so how can you meaure your cycles and find out when you are most fertile?

Hi corrine - can't help with the implant question I'm afraid but just wanted to say welcome, good luck and congrats on the wedding!

Some girls take their temp (www.fertilityfriend.com will help) and some girls use ov sticks xxx

sorry for the blonde questions - not used to the abbrevaitions yet lol.... temp?

Hi hun,

Welcome to BE.

That's a long time for your af to last 2-3wks!!! Have you spoken to your gp about this at all?

opk's are good to use but as your cycles are long you may go through quite alot of them so what kayecee suggested may be a good idea for you.

Good Luck hun & congrats on the wedding xxx

Hi Corrine, welcome to ttc, you will love it here and hopefully somebody will be able to help you with info on the implant. xxx

Hi again. You can temp which means to take your temperature each morning. You do this to pinpoint ovulation as your temperature will rise and then dip on the day you ov. It's quite fiddly as you have to do it every morning at the same time. I stopped because I couldn't wake up at 6 on a Sat and Sun! Any questions, ask away sweetie! xxx

Thanks for your replies. I used to go the doctor when i was younger due to the amount of pain i would go through during my periods. Some times they would practically paralyse me. but they never seemed concerned about how long they could be.

sorry again as i feel quite dunce - but what is opk?

That sound well fiddly. i am useless at remembering things (hence why i never took the pill lol) so probably not the best thing for me to try. maybe the ovulation sticks could be useful

Thansk again x
