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

Hiya!

Well Im new to this so please bear with me....

We're ttc though - was on the pill for around 12 years but came off it back in May when I got married and now we REALLY want a baby!!

Been trying since then with mixed results so far - month 1 nothing; month 2 positive pregnancy test but had a very early miscarriage (wouldnt have even known if I hadnt have got the Clearblue kit so soon! Was prob only about 3 weeks gone if that...); month 3 showed some symptoms like tiredness and peeig more but this only lasted about a week so I think we conceived but again it didnt turn into anything (mustnt have implanted etc.)
Now in month 4 - period would be due end of next week so we're actively trying and will see what happens!! Fingers & toes crossed!!

I know we've only been trying 4 months but I can feel the obsession and it taking over - hard to think of anything else!!
Wish us luck!! :-)

Yay Clandy!! Our first graduate! How exciting! I'm done with SS, none at all so just waiting for AF to come next week and probably will get a basal thermometer for next month.

Tequila how are you not running to get more pg tests?! Let us know the moment you POAS please Grin

Vino how are you my lovely?

Well ss like crazy at the moment last night i was convinced my boobs were leaking (i have had this in all of my pg) only then to discover that the bottom of my glass of water was dripping. Blush

MinkyMoodles · 02/11/2011 09:03

Big huge congratulations Clandy Whoop whoop xx

Tequilamockinbat · 02/11/2011 08:48

Glad o got the right person.

Verrrrrrry excited for you!

Clandy · 02/11/2011 08:40

Yeah that was me had af end of august and tested since but nothing now bfp!!! Think I am around 4-8 weeks so not a clue Grin

Tequilamockinbat · 02/11/2011 08:35

I bet you will Grin

Do you know how far along you are then? Was it you who came off the pill end of June and hadn't seen AF since? Or was that somebody else? Confused

I didnt get a chance to go to Boots yesterday for a First Response but will hopefully get there today for 1!

Clandy · 02/11/2011 08:22

Thanks tequila I'm still shaking I can't quite believe it Grin gonna be jumping off the walls all day!!! Grin

Tequilamockinbat · 02/11/2011 08:03

OMG Clandy, congratulations!! Grin

I'm over the moon for you, well done! x

Clandy · 02/11/2011 07:41

Morning ladies! Got my BFP this morning GrinGrinGrin

Tequilamockinbat · 01/11/2011 22:35

No not yet. My DH thinks the same, and I'm happy to roll with it too. At least for a few more months. If still no joy then I'll probably start using them tbh

wannabemum24 · 01/11/2011 22:30

Have you used an OPK yet? DH is wanting to just roll with it and not use that sort of thing yet. I am happy with that but warned him there would be lots of swi to compensate!!! He didn't mind Wink

Tequilamockinbat · 01/11/2011 22:18

Although I've never been on a 'bus' before, so I am new in that respect Wink

Tequilamockinbat · 01/11/2011 22:16

Nah I'm a bit of a professional POAS'er now Grin

Although AF has never been this late.

I haven't done the OPK or anything, was just rolling with it and letting nature have it's way I suppose.

It's getting hard now though, especially as it all happened so easily first time round! Although 16 years on the pill may take a few months to get out of my system? I dunno, we'll see what happens I guess

wannabemum24 · 01/11/2011 22:03

Oh right, I assumed you were as new to this as us!! That must be hard x

Tequilamockinbat · 01/11/2011 21:58

I came off the pill in January so about 10 months Sad

wannabemum24 · 01/11/2011 21:57

How long have you been trying Tequla?

Tequilamockinbat · 01/11/2011 21:41

Speaking of people who fall pregnant with the click of a finger, it baffles me too.

With DD I fell pregnant whilst on the pill. Took it religiously every night, had no D&V or anything. I was just the unlucky 0.01% Blush

And now? Now, it seems I can't get pg for toffee! What's that all about?

cherrypiew3 · 01/11/2011 21:41

Wannabe Today has been a much better day Smile

wannabemum24 · 01/11/2011 21:33

Woah! I got sex on my mind!!! Sorry, Secret Blush

wannabemum24 · 01/11/2011 21:32

I just read back, sorry about the BFN Sexret Sad

wannabemum24 · 01/11/2011 21:31

Thanks Cherry, me too Smile How are you?
