Hi everyone!
I'm Sharon (29 years old) and I work in primary education. This month, I'm trying for the first time to have a baby with my partner. I'm still getting used to my body without the pill, so I keep thinking that maybe this month it could happen. Four weeks after the first day of my last withdrawal bleed, I got my period again. I was really happy about that after all the horror stories you read online about women who don't get their period for MONTHS and aren't pregnant either. Now I'm so caught up in it all, still out of enthusiasm and excitement, that I decided to find a forum to vent. It's quite hard for me to keep quiet about my biggest dream . It doesn't help that my partner is also so involved in it, and I keep running into pregnant moms at the gate. I'm not quite sure how the site works yet, so I hope this post ends up in the right place.

Best, Sharon

    Hey Sharon
    Welcome to the forum and good luck
    I'm also just starting out, currently in my second round. But I'm already really excited.
    It's good that you got your period back on time. I was half a day early this month. That was a bit of a disappointment since I wasn't pregnant, but on the other hand, I'm glad they keep coming regularly.
    I've been wanting to talk about it with people a lot, but then I remind myself that it'll be more fun to keep it a surprise until it's really the time. But all those pregnant women and babies around me don't make it any easier

    Hey Bambi88,
    Yeah, it's hard being discreet, right? Well, this forum helps a lot! I find this month really exciting because it's the first real round. We waited for the first cycle to pass without having sex during the fertile days. Now I can test on the 28th, and yesterday I was super nauseous and throwing up. So it could be a stomach bug or it could be pregnancy. I feel so much!! I'm so into it because everything is so new. It would be such a relief if it all worked out right away! But I think the chances are small after 15 years on the pill. My mom got pregnant right away too. My aunt did too, and my cousin is pregnant now too, in her third month. So I hope I don't fall behind. When is your due date?

    Oh, did you have to throw up yet? If I had that, I'd be totally sure I'm pregnant Although it could also be the flu or something, indeed. You do feel a lot of things suddenly. Nausea, hot flashes, stomach pain, frequent urination... but in the end, it all meant nothing for me.
    You've got your genes already, apparently My mom was pregnant after 3 months too, which I think is very fast since almost all my friends had to try for a long time. My goal is to celebrate New Year's pregnant this year. It would seem nice to me to start the new year that way
    My due date is July 16th. I'm currently still having my period but look forward to going for it again.
    So excited that you'll be able to test on the 28th!
