Hey guys!! Have taken the big step of coming of the Pill to TTC another DC. This will be DC number 2 - already have DS who is 15 months old and a DSD who is 7 years. We have spoken about another baby for a while now but it has now become more of a reality now that we have decided to stop using any contraception!! I am so so excited but know all too well about this horrible waiting game of patience which seems to get worse even after a BFP as then it's the painful wait for a 12 week scan!! (although this time I may pay for a private scan) I have had a MC before DS was born so am also aware of not getting to ahead of myself...but I'm so excited nonetheless!! I bought my friend a little present for her brand new (with tags on) baby girl and was so so broody. Cant wait for my turn now!!

Sorry for the long warbling post. This is such a hard time, the pre TTC, the waiting for BFP or BFN etc etc...I am the most impatient person in the world as it is...and to not to be able to tell anyone in RL makes it even harder!!

Hope there will be some ladies in the same boat as me!! Look forward to meeting u and sharing journeys!!

Lots of love, Pip xx

I don't think Sparkle is in the US as our Glee already restarted last night.

Tequila I'm so sorry about your AF Sad I thought perhaps you'd done it this time.

Wanna I'd say every other day perhaps for this whole cycle (if you can manage it - realize that makes you all bunnies Grin) as you don't know for 100%. otherwise I'd go at it loads next wednesday thru mon.

Sarah5656 · 03/11/2011 11:13

Tequila so sorry your AF arrived Sad

wannabemum24 · 03/11/2011 10:24

Tequila, I'm really sorry about the bloddy witch arriving. I am scowing at her for you. But, Like Secret said, at least you know where you are now :) It's still gutting though.

Secret, I didn't realise you are in the US too?

Ok Ladies, I have a question for you :)

OD day is a week tomorrow (11th). When would be best to swi? How often? Would Monday, Wednesday and Friday be good? Then Sunday and Tuesday too so I should catch it if I do ovulate?

If so, DH has a gig on Friday in Ramsgate again so should I try to catch him before we go out? It's all a bit exciting! Not doing OPK yet as DH wants to wait.

TYIA!

Lots of love xxx

Fuck fuck fuckity fuck.

AF is here SadSadSadSad

Fishpond · 03/11/2011 00:30

Tequila maybe it's the implantation taking a bit longer? I think the pg tests recommend that if you don't have a positive a week after AF is due to see a doc. But perhaps you'll be like Clandy and have no AF for awhile then get a random BFP? Who knows?

Had some more crampiness but feels like the AF kind. Since my period has been weird the last 3 months I think AF is just going to show up early Sad

Took my little sister out to eat this eve and had a chat about high school and Glee, felt so lovely to not think about Real Life ishoos and pretend to be 15 with her!

Back home and off to bed, work tomorrow after 2 days off. Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow.

Tequilamockinbat · 02/11/2011 21:51

Good idea sparkle, although I can't do it from my phone Sad

I'm past the 2ww now. In fact I'm 5 days late. No AF still but no BFP either Sad I'm in no man's land it seems

Fish, it's fine, no offence was taken Smile

I heart my iPad. I have an iphone4, an iPod touch and then DH and I went Halfs on an iPad last Xmas as a present to each other. It's the best £400 I ever spent, although I don't like MN'ing on it, I prefer the laptop for that.

CauldronOfBrownJoy · 02/11/2011 19:28

CONGRATULATIONS CLANDY!!! GrinGrinGrin I'm so excited for you!

Welcome 3, hope this month is your month!!

Smile
Fishpond · 02/11/2011 19:17

Jealous of you all with your iPads - are they brilliant? I have an iPhone - but the older one and I love it to no end. I really want the 4S but I won't have a chance for an upgrade til next summer so thinking to get the iPad with my tax money if it's that great?

My God what is going on with my typos???? Think i'll give up using the ipad!!!

Oooh, thanks Fish. I wasn't too sure what SS meant.

Fishpond · 02/11/2011 18:19

wanna where have you been all my life?! Smile

FMU = First morning urine

SS = Symptom spotting

wannabemum24 · 02/11/2011 18:19

What is FMU? And what is SS? P.s. Hello everyone :)

Vinolover · 02/11/2011 16:49

It certainly will :) It says NOT to use FMU. All this month I made sure it was FMU and thought I was doing the right thing. It also says to make sure it's at room temp, ideally left for 20 mins. Not sure this will work seeing as I start work at 7.30 on a sat morning and the earliest I finish is 3 or 4, sometimes it's 8.30 at night! How on earth will I work that one. They advise doing it between 10am and 8pm... No wonder I never bothered before. It seems a bit technical Confused.

I will do it thought, because I am obsessed!! Wink

Fishpond · 02/11/2011 16:48

Sorry tequila meant no offense.

Vinolover · 02/11/2011 16:44

Offer??? meant awful.

Tequilamockinbat · 02/11/2011 16:13

Fish, firstly I can't really afford to POAS every day (as much as I'm dying to!), and secondly I'm hoping if I just do it every few days, I'll hopefully get a firmer positive. Does that even make sense? I know what I mean anyway lol

Welcome 3, and good luck Smile

Vino, 60? Wow! That'll keep you busy Grin

Vinolover · 02/11/2011 15:30

Massive congratulations again Clandy :) It's so nice to read that!

Welcome 3. It's such a rollercoaster, TTC, isn't it! Im so sorry to hear about your MC. It's an offer thing to happen :( We're only on our first month of TTC #3 and Im more obsessed now then I ever was! Good luck to you.

Im good thank you Fish. Have just finished work and looking forward to a day off tomorrow :)

Guess who is the new owner of 60 Ovulation sticks!?!?! :) They should hopefully last a while!!

Hope everyone has had a good day!
