TTC for First Time w/ New Year - Anyone else?? - Trying to Conceive (TTC) Message Board

LittleMissA · 12-28-2006, 09:41 PM

After patiently waiting for what seems like an eternity (and stalking this board for like a year as a bystander with nothing to say), we are finally going to start TTC at the beginning of the New Year. We've been married for going on four years and have been together for almost 10. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it, after making sure everything is just so-so with life - finances, jobs, good insurance, etc. It seems so surreal - that after so many years of preventing, now you get to TRY to get PG! Is anyone else TTC for the first time?

Also, obviously I'm going off the pill as of Sunday, but I also have low grade depression and have migraines. Should I also go off of my medication for both of these things as well? I do not have an OB/GYN yet, so I'm probably going to just go off to be safe, but if anyone knows, please respond.

Hi and welcome!!

I just went off BCP beginning of december. We are TTC for the first time too. I would recommend calling your doctor and asking him about your meds. Depending on what it is, he might recommend that you keep taking it.
Best of luck to all of us!! and lots of baby dust!!

Thanks you guys. It's nice to have a forum like this to talk. I'll keep you all posted! Maybe some of us "newbies" can chat as we start on this journey. Best of luck!

I too am TTC I have been off the bcp since September. I ttc in November and December and no luck yet. They say it takes about 4-5 months for your body to readjust itself. Hopefully the month of January will be my lucky month!!!!
