New and TTC

in New to The Bump
Hello all! Well let's see...We were married on 6/19/10, although we've been together for 4 years. I am 23 yo and my husband is 29 yo. We at first decided to wait until we had been married for 6 months. We decided to "not really try" in August after I had been having complications with my BC and decided for my health I would stop taking it altogether. I have been on BC since I was 14 yo because I was diagnosed with PCOS. I have never had a normal period ever. Since I stopped taking the pill I have had 1 cycle so far (I was shocked) and my next is supposed to be at the end of this month (we shall see). I'm trying not to get over excited because I honestly think it's going to be a while, if at all, on our own. I have been trying not to think about it and I've stopped buying HPT for a while. That was just making it worse. I started paying attention to what my body is doing now that I know how to chart correctly. I'm not going all out though. After my next cycle I'm going to start doing th BBT to get a better idea. Now that I know what to look for I'm not driving my husband crazy and wasting money on tests just to be disappointed. I'm trying not to set my hopes too high until I know my body is behaving like it should. I am so glad I can find help on the website when I need it.

    HI, I'm new to the Bump too. I'm not really sure what to do on here but I am sure I will get the hang of it soon. I have been with my husband for 8.5 years and married for the past 1.5. We just decided to start trying, but I could possibly be pregnant. I have been on BC  for the past 9 years and I have never missed a period except for my last one. My sister said that it happens on the BC I was taking. I took a test last week 2 days after my period was late and it was negative and I still haven't gotten my period. I am going to call my Gyno in the morning and see what she says and probably take another test.  So we'll see, and I'm glad I can talk to others on here.

    If you haven't gotten a copy of Taking Charge of Your Fertility, go get one now! It will really help.

    Have you discussed your PCOS with your dr?

    Take the test first. That way you'll know what to tell the gyn. GL!

    I did get an online charting guide for now. It definitly helped me not obsess as much. My OBGYN does know about my PCOS but right now I am looking for a new DR. he had me on metaformin which i had taken before but now i'm having issues with it. once i find a new Dr i'll be able to get more information
