Hi!

This is my first time so be gentle and im hoping i could get some advice. Me and hubbie have decided to try for our first baby. I cam off the pill about 3 months ago and this is our second cycle of trying. Made sure we had the ovulation day covered which was around 24-25th. thing is last couple days i have got thrush. i brought a capsule but read packet and says not to take even if your trying for a baby! im not due on till a week wednesday, so what do i do, im using cream but not helping that much. Dont feel i could be pregnant unfortunalty (although would be bit early) should i wait and then take it if period starts and i still suffering or not take it at all? i havent had it for years so am guessing its probably hormones from coming off the pill? its not a sign of pregancy that early is it?

Anyway thats about it, any advice greatly appreciated

okay am having problems with how to view but think ive cracked it.

I also wanted to ask, im underweight always have been but so is my family. i have periods fine, but does anyone think this could be a problem? asked a nurse once and she said yes!! my mum and nan had no probs?

Hi hun

I had thrush when i was pregnant and used the pessarys and the cream, the leaflet is saying be cautious to cover their backs, the pessary is only going int the vaginal wall, not through the cervix, so it won't be in the womb hun...

Being a female is a bitch, i get really itchty and thrush somethiem before AF is due!

Being underweight can have the same effect as being overweight, on the fact that you may not ovulate, but like you say you have been underweight all your life, so its not as if its new to your body, and as you say your mum and nad are skinny, so its in your genes, try to relax, thats worse for ovualation if you stress yourself out, take that from one who knows, i have been ttc for over three years now...

Its a problem if you all of a sudden loose LOADS of weight and become very underweight, or put on lots and lots of weight, then ovulation may be affected, but you seem healthy and have regular periods, so i would not worry, if you are worried then speak to your GP hun

Ps if i was you i would take the pessary asap, as that would do more harm than not taking it, good luck re ttc, and come and join us on the ttc thread xxxx

thanks so much, im just getting ready to go to bed and have had the capsule, im sure it will be fine like you say! hope its not going to be a regular thing now off the pill, be worth it though if do get baby!! heres hoping for us all. Think if dont have much luck within 6 months will go see doc have chat bout things re weight etc.really need to stop stressing but moving and starting a new job prob dont help that lol!!thanks for your help. Good luck i hope you are successful soon!!

speak to you again im sure!!
