Desperately wanting

Hi, we are desperately wanting to have a baby and I have been off the pill for 5 months but nothing yet... The doctors tell me it will take time and logically I know this but I have spoken to so many women who say they fell pregnant almost immediately after stopping the pill. So as you can imagine, feeling a little down at the moment and alone in this situation as my friends can't understand because it happened quickly with them. Would just like to hear from others on how to cope with the disappointment everytime we take a test and it is negative and the waiting....

I was told it takes up to a year for all systems to be working normally.  Old saying worrying doesnt make it happen quicker.  Real life eat healthier foods give up smoking cut down on liquor also no stress.  Next one dont laugh partner to wear loose nickers.  Good luck I hope it works.

It does depend on a few things as to how long it can take to get pregnant after being on the pill.  The longer you have been on the pill, the longer it takes to get out of your system.  Once it is out of your system, your body then needs to regulate its own cycle.  This can take about 2 years (some shorter, some longer).

The other thing you need to do is stop stressing about it and stop trying.  The harder you try, the less it will happen.  Let your partner have a break too.  The more they are left alone, the better the sperm supply will be, the quicker the results.  That means, sex about once a week when you aren't ovulating, and every day when you are.

In the meantime, read up about babies and parenting in general, as well as pregnancy.  The more info you have now, the better prepared you will be by the time you are expecting.

Hi there,

If you were on the pill for many years it may take a little longer. When we decided to have a baby i had been on the pill for about 7 years. It took us about 5-6 months of trying before we fell pregnant.

I would try to not worry too much(easier said than done) don't take a pregnancy test unless your period is due and you have symptoms of pregnancy otherwise you will continually be disappointed.

Please remember everyone is different when it comes to pregnancy and somethimes it will take longer for some people.

Good Luck with it

Hi

I suggest you try not to stress and think about it too much. I guess when you stop thinking about it so much it will eventually happen as thats what happened to me. We were trying for approx. 8 months and i was getting unhappy casue im not getting pregnant, then hubby changed his mind because he was still suffering from depression and when the economy went down he didnt think he could cope financially with another baby as yet and i was so devasted cause i really wanted another baby but i didnt want his depression to get worst again so i went back on the pill. Then 2 months on the pill hubby then tells me he is ready and changed his mind that he wants the baby, so i go off the pill. Within a month off it i fell preganent straighaway and was just completely overjoyed. Im now 16 weeks and into my 2nd trimester which i am so thankful as my last pregnancy i did miscarry so now everyday im so thankful and its such a blessing for me that my baby is growing. Just be patient and it will happen, just think positive. I heard that if you still havent fallen pregnant after a year then thats when you should go to the doctor. Good Luck.

But to get through it i pray and stay busy and then a stroller go's by just kidding but try to stay busy and pray it works.
