I came off birth control in May, and got pregnant within the first 7 weeks

After tracking my temperature and ovulation we were lucky enough to conceive the first month we tried.

with all 3 😅 fertile myrtle here

Me! We were tracking ovulation pretty hard

You can get ovulation stick that you track with an app they may help. X

I did

Me 🙋‍♀️ didn’t think it was possible!!

Me! Was so surprised!

I did, 6 days after coming off of the pill 🙈 X

Me, I’m 35 almost 36. I tracked my BBT closely.

first time caught on on pill.
second time within 2weeks.
3rd time had sex once
4th time within 2 weeks

I did. I used the clear blue fertility monitor, I definitely recommend!

Me! I thought I was infertile because I tried for 5 years with my ex. The month I met my now SO I got pregnant the first month we started getting intimate 🤦🏽‍♀️ so no tracking happened with our first child. Second child I tracked ovulation with opks and it happened right away but ended in a miscarriage. Our third pregnancy we swayed and used opks again but as soon as they were positive no more sex to try for a girl. Success. 1 boy , 1 girl!

Straight after coming off the pill. I was about to change the brand as it gave me to many side effects. I’m 40

Within 2 weeks of coming off the pill. It was such a surprise as I expected difficulties as I have polycystic ovaries, and a bit older (34) but it was much quicker than either of us were prepared for

I did and was very surprised because I had only been off the depo shot for about 30 days. I was told it would take about 60-90 days to get out of my system. I’m 35

Me! First time not using protection or pull out method. Distinctly remember saying to my partner “I think we’re pushing it a little”

I came off the depo a year before, switching to the mini pill and then it took 7 months after stopping the pill to fall. I had pretty regular cycles after coming off the pill after a 8 week wait for a bleed. No bleeds while on depo or pill for 10 years.

🙋🏽‍♀️

I conceived my 2nd month of trying. FTM! I was off of my birth control for 3 months prior to this. I also used ovulation strips to find my best days to conceive.

First time trying. We used Ovia app. Came off pill, had withdrawal bleed, didn’t try for a month then had a normal period and then fell pregnant in first month of trying.

My sister did with her first. The first month her shot wore off, they weren’t really trying yet even just agreed to see what happened when they stopped preventing it.

It took us 6 months ttc but we weren’t trying too much as we were waiting to get married first. I expected that it would take much longer as I have health issues and it took my mum years till she and my dad conceived me.

Me! Got my coil out after my last period, so because of the way they count it I’ve had my coil out less weeks than I’ve been pregnant 😂

I did with all 3 x

I did and I am 38yo!! But I used Clomid (to help with ovulation) + Progesterone (to help implantation) + ovulation tests!

Not to mention 3 months before we started trying, I cut alcohol and coffee and I was taking a lot of vitamins specific to help with fertility (prescribed by a Fertility Doctor).

Meee!! I was having the depo shot to prevent pregnancy every 3 months! And that one time i missed my shot i got pregnant because the condom broke! I remember my husband telling me that shit can be in your system for a year if anything 5% chance you will get pregnant don’t worry about it! Baaaam i am actually very much pregnant😭😭 but the pregnancy ended in a miscarriage 9weeks along causes i had an accident 😪

1st month for baby 1, 7th month for baby 2. My GP said it's a lottery and humans are the worst species at procreating 🤣

First few days trying which surprised us because we didn’t think I could get pregnant due to bc messing me up...

IUD removed in July and I got pregnant in August

Was off birth control for an year and some change. Conceived on accident because I thought well if im not pregnant after a year of trying/no protection. so it just may not happen for us. And well. Here we are lol

Yes, but thought it would take us way longer. We were going to get married and if it would happen at all it would surely take at least until after that (hearing so many people’s heartaches on conceiving and us being a little older...surely it takes 6-8 months at least). Nope, first try!! 🤦‍♀️ We had the wedding within 3 wks after finding out, lol, in MIL’s backyard. Didn’t want to look pregnant on the big day, and didn’t want to wait to get married after birth and then have to pull it all together with a little baby on my hip and leaking boobs. 🤷‍♀️

I conceived three months of trying. I used these Premom ovulation tests

I came off the pill because of the side effects and got pregnant a couple of weeks later. We weren't even trying, I just assumed my period was late restarting after being on the pill so the pregnancy test result was a bit of a surprise!

I wasn’t even trying and I conceived, still very happy 😊

Yup. First day of trying . Honeymoon night😐

It took my husband and I about a year, I stressed a lot the first couple months over it

Got my IUD removed last January, we began trying in February, conceived in March, miscarried in April and then conceived again in May!

Decided to start taking elevit to prepare the body and got pregnant the first month of trying ☺️

yyp.. 3 days after having my IUD removed

Yes

First time for me by using ovulation test

First try ☺️
As soon we decided to work on a baby

First try both times. I was taking supplements to help regulate my cycle and was using ovulation tests

Took me about 5 months. Downloaded ovulation app. Good luck baby dust ✨🤰🏻🤍

Yes, first month and we weren't trying!!

no..
and miscarried the first. you never know!! I did some ovulation specific yoga and mediated and got pregnant within 3 months

2nd time I mean

Second month trying here, was quite surprised after 10 yrs on the pill!

Am I just fucked?

I need a new car. I purchased my current honda civic in 2024 after my car was totaled in an accident. Seemingly there was nothing wrong with it. I went alone to the dealership because my dad lived out of state and my bf wasn’t available anyways. Couple months down the road, the cars sensors start going berserk. We got it checked at the honda dealership and with our own family known mechanic and no problems came up. It was just wack. Fast forward to know, the car has about 155k miles. We bought it at 125k, I know STUPID CHOICE. Here’s why i’m ultra fucked though. I’ve been a SAHM for the last year, my baby is 7 months old. I’m starting a part time job next month but literally at 10 hours a week. That’s the most I can do as I do not want to put my baby in daycare and do not have any family that can watch him for an extenuous amount of time everyday.

Besides the fact that the honda civic is kind of uncomfortable to fit the huge car seat, the stroller snd stroller seat attachment. which i don’t wanna have to repurchase and buy a smaller one. The car is SHIT. The car runs weird right off the bat anyone will say that when they drive. The engine light is on. There must be a hole or something in the AC unit because the AC is broke and everytime we put the AC gas in it it ends up leaking within 1-2 weeks. AC gas is kinda expensive to be refilling it that often. My dad doesn’t think I should put any money into this car to fix it. We still owe about 3k. We want to trade it in however my parents think that I should get a NEW car since this used car gave us such bad faith. Mind you, when I got it and for a couple months after, none of these problems were there :/ I drove from NJ to BOSTON a few months after getting it and the emergency sensors went off and the car was shaking bad and i had to pull over. Never found out what that was about.

I have 5k to put down. BTW, my parents are heavily involved because i’m 24 and I live with them (me and my bf) in hopes to move out when we have the funds for that. I don’t wanna ask my BF for any money. I know he’ll just throw it back in my face down the line during an argument because he thinks a paycheck is the extent of his contribution as a partner and father. Whole other story. My parents can’t afford to throw any money at a new car. My dad thinks I should get a new car that’s relatively recent like 2023+. Not for the aesthetic but because he thinks insurance rates might be better for a newer vehicle. They want me to ask my BF to contribute since it would be a family car for us. That he would also be able to ride around in when he’s not driving to work in his own car. I dont wanna downgrade to just 1 car because he goes into work incredibly early and I dont wanna have to wake my baby up at 4am and take him to drop his dad off. I also just need my own car because Im starting a part time job soon. I could just use my part time dollars to pay it off but what if I’m stuck with a car note in the event anything happened with this job? My bf and his family suggested we buy a car from enterprise because it’d always gone well.. however i told him there’s a lot of risk in buying a RENTAL CAR. and he said there’s also a lot of risk in buying a used car from a dealership. He said you’re NOT getting a new car. a new car to me isn’t about the aesthetics, it’s about the security that we wont have the same issue we’ve had with the used car i bought in 2024 which was seemingly great when we first got it.

Anyways, I don’t drive my car anymore. Because of all its sensors and issues. But it’s not practical to keep having to use my parents car to get around. I don’t know what to do, if there is anything TO do. Seems like i’m just backed into a corner. My honda is just losing value as it sits in the drive way, already is very low value due to the shit miles it has.

I get I should just maybe lean on my BF as he did agree to help with the down payment and the car note but I just don’t want to. He will throw it back in my face. That’s for certain. I also don’t wanna make a poor financial decision that’s gonna effect me and my baby in the long run.

Baths while pregnant

I’ve had baths throughout my pregnancy. I don’t want advice on that. I wondering how other women who have baths while pregnant lay in the bath? Is it considered laying on your back? I’m 5’6 so my feet just touch the end 😂

Mama friends

Hey y'all I wanted to see if there were any other mamas here in TX that need more mama friends I'm out in Lubbock

Need more friends!

Hi Ladies, if I’m being honest making friends has always been a struggle of mine. Being straightforward and honest , I’ve slowly experienced myself turning into that girl that only hangs out with her husband and honestly I’m getting bored of him lol . Looking for open-minded , understanding women who aren’t afraid to be themselves. Im looking for women who can teach me things and be open to learn new things by doing things outside of their comfort zones positively of course. Simply looking for sister-ships , for family.

Besties

Looking for friends! I don’t really have many friends or really anyone I talk to and would love to find a bestie! I’m a stay at home mom full time to my 6 year old and 2 month old boy mom in Oklahoma!

need advice (long post)

I’m 8 months with my first baby. Her dad and I are still together. for a little bit of context, we’ve been together for almost 2 years now and this past year he struggled a lot with his mental health and living out of his car for the entire year. I live with my mom. He had a job most of the year other than a three month period Where he was unemployed. He is almost 10 years older than me and I am currently a still a student in college. When I found out I was pregnant he was against keeping her because of our financial situation but I did not want to terminate the pregnancy. He started working a new job beginning of this year that pays 70k he had to move a few hours away for it. The situation I need advice on is that I have given him a total of $7000 in the past year to help him when he’s really needed it. I am unemployed so a lot of the money has been taken out of my savings. I have no problem helping someone who needs it but it’s gotten to the point where I feel like he’s very unappreciative that I help him and starting to take advantage. He has sent me a total of $500 for things for the baby. But even still ask me for money here and there. I gave him my credit card information so he could use it to sign up for a storage unit that he told me would just be a one time thing and now it continues to charge me monthly and he still has not paid me back for that or turned it off, he also started using my credit card for some thing that he says his work is going to reimbursed him for, but he never even asked permission to use it for this. He still is living out of his car. He then does little things that upset me like accumulating parking tickets which I get happened sometimes but him not being more mindful and cautious so he doesn’t have to spend more money is kind of annoying to me or the other night when he was talking about signing up for a gym membership that is $200 a month. I don’t know if I’m just being greedy or something but I have this baby coming and I’m running out of money. Thankfully my mom is helping me a little bit with buying her things but it’s just upsetting and I don’t know what to do.
