Newbie - Soooo excited!!!
Hi everyone, just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. Cant quite believe I'm actually here! A bit of background, OH and I have been together for just over 7 years, engaged for 6. He has a son from a previous relationship who turns 18 on Sunday (eek!!). Always thought I'd get married before having kids but this morning we were lying in bed chatting and OH came out and just said he wants us to try for a baby! We have just come back from spending 2 weeks with my sister and her beautiful 2 year old daughter and he says it kind of got him thinking about kids and that he misses "all that stuff"! Couldnt believe it - but I'm soo excited I guess I am well and truly ready - anytime in the past when we've talked about it I've been really scared and wanted to wait. So it looks like my last pill (Yasmin) was last night and I took my 1st folic acid tablet about half an hour ago. Any advice would be great - should I be avoiding any foods etc? Also, if any of you have been on Yasmin how long were you off it before your cycles got back to normal? I have been on the pill since I was about 13 due to suspected endometriosis (30 now) and have never had a break from it. I have absolutely no clue what my cycle is like or what it feels like to have a "normal" period - I guess it's gonna be some earning curve!!
Anyways....Sorry for the long post, I'm soo hyper with it all I think my fingers have run away with me!!

1. assume your cycle is the norm 28/29 days and start ttc immediately or
2. wait for your first "proper" period, for some girls it goes back to normal straight away. others are waiting for months for a period.
You should cut back on caffeine and the usual alcohol, smoking etc. But the best thing is (try) not to get to obsessed, easier said than done though!! You could also buy some ov tests, they could help you figure out your cycle abit better.
Good luck hun xx

Welcome to TTC. Good luck for a speedy BFP x
I was on Yasmin for 5 years, came off 3 months ago, and been ttc for 2 months now - normal cycle has resumed thank god!
I decided to wait a month before trying to reduce risk of a mc.
Good luck! x
i'm the same as you, can't wait and really impatient which is a nightmare as know it could take a while!
I was on microgynon for 10 yrs, came off last july, went back in july for 3m as was due af on wedding day, took last one end of sept, wd bleed beg of oct, then 34 days later af. So not sure if i'm going on 34 days really or what for my cycle. got some ov sticks and still showing as a negative (cd17) but if was on 34 day cycle wouldn't be due to ov until about thurs anyway.
fingers and toes crossed for all of us! xx
Best of luck x
