As most of my friends have had different challenges conceiving (2 requiring multiple rounds of IVF and two having late first trimester miscarriages) I went into this experience feeling anxious. Went off desogestrel (progesterone only pill) mid-April, I got my period back within 4 weeks and only had two periods before conceiving. Did a private scan at 7+1 weeks which found a heartbeat and looked like I am at 6+5. It’s a few more weeks until the 12 week scan and feeling hopeful but given all the challenges with my friends also anxious. I feel like the first few weeks are so confusing as it’s so exciting but also so many unknowns but your body is already changing. In terms of symptoms I have sore breasts, some milky discharge, more headaches than usual and quite a lot of fatigue. So hoping that’s a good sign. I just used the Apple health app to track my periods and estimated ovulation, I bought ovulation test strips but didn’t get round to using them in the end.

I knew we were thinking of kids soon so I decided to come off the depo injection about 18 months ago as it was my knowledge that it can take over a year for your cycle to come back after stopping the depo. I moved to the pill and hated the normal pill due to estrogen made my breasts hurt. So moved to the mini pill and it seemed fine but I still didn't get any periods so I had no idea about my cycle and how fertile I was. I stopped taking the pill when we were ready to try and seemingly got pregnant instantly (within 10 days). Then I got some breakthrough bleeding a 3 weeks after stopping the mini pill and I thought it was my period, but the midwife explained it was actually breakthrough bleeding. It was confusing and the midwife didn't know what date to put down as the date of my last period to work out due date! So she put down the date that I stopped taking the pill. I'm still learning the consequences of this.

My first baby took around 8-9 months to conceive, and included an ectopic pregnancy which was shocking and sad. We started trying for our second when our first was 1, as we expected it to take some time. I was shocked to find myself pregnant after the first month of trying, and we’d only had sex twice. It was the complete opposite experience to our first, and was such a relief to not have to go through the TTC obsession again

One of my best friends has told me they’re pregnant after only being together for a short time which is very much a wonderful surprise! I am literally and genuinely so so SO happy for her but can’t help but feel so so so sad when we have been together 12 years and are now over 16 months trying properly, now being referred to the fertility clinic. Would appreciate any advice on juggling the pure happiness for your friend over the overwhelming sadness that your story isn’t working out the way you thought it would? 🩷
