TTC questions/rant/ramble
So my partner and I are wanting to try for baby 2, I’ve been off the pill for a few months and we have made efforts to be healthier, take vitamins etc. however I’m still clueless about my cycles as they’ve always been so incredibly irregular and inconsistent. I fell pregnant with our son on contraception and I guess I sort of assumed we’d “easily” fall pregnant again now I’m off the pill though yes I’m aware we’ve not been trying very long (only since late March) I’m still kinda sad about it…
I’m just wondering if anyone can shed some light on roughly how long after stopping hormonal contraception did you manage to fall pregnant?
Are there other things I need to factor in? If so what are they or what could they be?
If you have anything that may be helpful please do share with us 🥺🫶🏼

Stress levels, sleep, hormones, if you're still lactating, age. If you're concerned ask your doctor about seeing someone who specialises in reproductive health. Track your wobbly cycle, your sleep. Both useful information for a medical professional - when you make an appointment ask what else they want logs of.
Sending hugs. I hope it happens for both of us.
I don’t feel particularly stressed, I sleep rather well at least 7hrs a night, hormones I think may be the biggest issue, no longer breastfeeding either
Unfortunately our gp isn’t the most helpful and have told us as we naturally conceived a healthy child we would have to pay for any reproductive treatment/appointments.
My dodgy cycles have been noted since I was 9 and they don’t have any answers or anything they believe to be helpful in regulating them either, I will continue to log whatever I can though.
Thank you, I hope we’re both having newborn snuggles soon 🫶🏼
My partner and I are trying for baby number two and we fell pregnant easily with our first one but it seems the second go it's taking more time and effort. I'm using the ovulation sticks to try to help me figure things out because I'm still breastfeeding our toddler. I'm too feeling sad that it hasn't happened for us yet and keep hoping that when I see blood it's implantation bleeding but it's not. You're not alone
I’m the same way with everyone else with my daughter it only took three months and once I got pregnant and gave birth I just assumed after my body knew what to do I’d be so fertile and after the second time I’d fall pregnant so easily but three months in and still nothing 🙁
I do love my toddler's snuggles, even though they can end abruptly. They're still young enough that I can cuddle them to sleep at night for now. 💜 I'd really like them to have a sibling somewhat closer in age than their step brother who is a teenager. They're big fans of each other but the age difference will mean Mr 15 is off into the world far too soon.
thank you for this reply ❤️
I saw my doctor recently and she said my follicles looked good and wasn't concerned yet as we haven't been trying for 6 months and that though we've had a molar pregnancy, birth and miscarriage that I was still able to conceive so she's hopeful. She also said based on my ultrasound that I ovulated around day 16-17 which was helpful.
