sorry to 'but' in...
But could i ask your opinion please Ladies?
Im having my implant removed on tuesday to start TTC, Dr reccomend use condoms for a while until ive had my first period as it makes things easier to chart etc...but i dont know if i have the patience to wait!
Would you wait...to make thing easier for dates. or just get stuck in....
Many thanks, Lea xx

good luck x
Like piggypops said the EDD is very rarely accurate...everone I know is more or less a week or so either way...
If your desperate to start trying then go for it!! I definetely would!!
Good Luck Hun xxx
There is also a slight increase in the chance of miscarriage if you get pregnant straight after stopping hormonal contraceptive -it is better to wait for your next cycle so that your lining of your womb has chance to properly prepare itself for a pregnancy.
Good luck TTC.

Guess it's a judgement call but I've just come off the pill again and we've started ttc straight away.
Good luck!
I really thought that this should have been researched more throughly by the pharma companies but if it is they aren't publishing it!

The paper is quite old an takes about the oral contarceptive pill
Int J Epidemiol. 1980 Mar;9(1):49-56.
Spontaneous foetal losses in women using different contraceptives around the time of conception.
Harlap S, Shiono PH, Ramcharan S.
I would take that paper with a pinch of salt to be honest... all kinds of things carry a small risk. If they didn't show a significant increase in miscarriage then the research suggests no identifiable risk so actually they prove it's safe... Certainly the current thinking seems to be that hormones in the pill leave your system very quickly when you stop taking it (which is why you can get pregnant from one missed pill) so it wouldn't be expected to affect a pregnancy.
I know that others may not agree with this from personal experience or anecdotal evidence and if you don't want to risk it then you are making the right choice for yourself. Personally, I am happy that it is safe to try straight away and that is what we are doing again this time round.
Maybe ill see you in TTC Wanna-Bump!! Best of luck to you all when for when you start TTC
