    hi girls, im new to this site and just wanted to ask a question. basically im getting married in 36days.... we want to start ttc as soon we get married. my oh wants to start now!! i came off my pill back around march time.....my periods have been pretty regular....every 28days.....last month AF came on day 27 (18th) and lasted about 3days, normally 5days......what i want really is some advice....who out there would just start ttc now??? i know this sounds selfish but part of me wants to wait until our honeymoon so i can enjoy it...my friend has just found out she is PG and is about 8weeks and has been violently ill for the last few weeks.......im worried about putting on any weight for my dress coz htere is now room for that but on the other hand im afraid incase it takes us a while to get PG....you automatically assume that you will fall PG straight away....so thining why wait!!
    i really don't have a clue about all technical stuff in terms of tracking ur ovulation...im just soooo confused...any advice much appreicated.....

    I admit pmcc that I waited until after the honeymoon because I knew how many pina coladas I'd be drinking and didn't want to "spoil" it by not being able to be crazy.

    You only have another six weeks or so until you get back from honeymoon (sorry!) and you are already off the pill so no reason not to wait until then if you feel like it.

    Hey pmcc , Congratulations for your coming wedding !!
    As SLOW says you can only decide the right thing for the two of you.

    The only advice i can offer is that when i fell pg with my first lo i went on holiday to the dominican republic straight after and was very bloated ie struggled to do up my jeans and felt incredibly tired even though my af was due on holiday so i can have only been 3-4 weeks pg!!

    It didn't ruin my holiday ( the place we stayed at made a fine job of that!!) but i wouldn't have wanted all that during my wedding or my honeymoon.

    Not everyone gets the bloating and tiredness, i am just pg again and feel fine this time so it's just something to bear in mind.

    Good luck for the Big Day !!

    hello and welcome to the site. as the others have said it is a decision for the two of you. if you decide to wait until after wedding then maybe you could track your cycle this month to give you an idea of ovulation? although with a wedding soon this may be the last thing on your mind.

    i wish you lots of pma and babydust for whenever you decide to start trying

    xxxx

    thx girls for the replies.....i think you are rite...only 6 weeks to go...i've waited this long....so a fwew more weeks isn't going to matter.....i think i just panicked.......as said at least i can enjoy my honeymoon coz if everything goes according to plan it will be the last holiday for a while:lol:.........

    i think i'll make an appointment to see my gp for next week and discuss the things i can do to prepare myself for ttc.......

    hopefully i'll be back on here witha honeymoon baby!!!!

    thx again
