No more Pill!! This is it!! Starting a JULY-AUG 2012 bus...

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

BFN Sad

AF is never this late, so where is she? Angry

Sarah5656 · 01/11/2011 06:52

The lady in boots scanned the wrong bar code first and it came up saying £99, so a bit of a bargain at £25! Grin

Fishpond · 01/11/2011 00:17

New name again

Maybe one day I'll find one I can stick with [hgrin]

Fishkiss · 01/11/2011 00:12

Wow Sarah for a CBFM for only 25!! What a steal.

I've been feeling flat today too - 12-hour day at work it turned out to be, then took a nap and woke up feeling horrendous. Just bloated, gas pains, some heartburn, just not feeling well at all. And like the rest of you, I know it's from a bug and not a bun Sad

Ah well, here's hoping Tuesday is better. Glee returns after a 4-week hiatus, so I'm well pleased about that [hgrin]

MinkyMoodles · 31/10/2011 23:24

Fingers crossed you get a big mahoosive positive Sarah in the morning and AF stays away!!

Is the Clearblue thingy the one thats usually around £65? (On Amazon)

Sarah5656 · 31/10/2011 23:14

Am never late for AF, like clock work, but it will be just my luck it bloody well turns up late just so I can get my hopes up Angry
I obviously really don't want it to turn up but if it's going to anyway would rather it be on time to save the false hope ( and the hundreds of test's) think I'm actually addicted to POAS.
Today I brought a clear blue ovulation test machine, it was on clearance at boots for £25, I've left the packaging on hoping I can eBay it as it won't be needed Wink

Sarah5656 · 31/10/2011 23:07

Good luck Tequila, hoping you get a Big big big fat positive Smile

Am due on tomorrow, thinking AF will arrive, but keeping my fingers crossed it doesn't Smile

MinkyMoodles · 31/10/2011 22:38

Tequila good luck for the morning :0) everything crossed!

Chin up all, we've got a fab little support group to pick eachother up when needed!

Struggling to keep my eyes open, :0(

Sweet dreams

Evening. Sorry to hear that the mood is flat, don't despair cherry. Moving house really is the devil's hobby and bound to take it out of anyone. For what it's worth, I find if I'm distracted from something and have a million other things to deal with, the thing I wanted in the first place ends up turning up despite solely focusing on other things. If you know what I mean.

Have had two glasses of wine and suddenly feel I'm making no sense whatsoever!

I tried on wedding dresses tonight and felt a fat frumpy mess. Not sure whether to go ahead and get one now as I could be pregnant by the wedding. Confused

Tequilamockinbat · 31/10/2011 22:04

I'm off to bed, hopefully AF won't turn up during the night, I'm going to POAS again in the morning Smile

Vinolover · 31/10/2011 21:43

Same boat

Vinolover · 31/10/2011 21:43

I think we are all going through a flat period by the sounds of it :( Im so sure it's not worked this month so I just want AF to come so I can crack on again! Patience really is not my strong point Wink

Cherry moving is so stressful, I feel your pain! I really hope it will be plain sailing for you!

Im the same as you secret. I have the nausea and cramps and I have the most bloated tummy but deep down I know it's from last weeks bug :(

Monday is just about over now and tomorrow is another day... Chin up all :)

Tequilamockinbat · 31/10/2011 21:11

Ah don't be sad. We're all in this together, we're all here for each other and you can lean on us anytime Smile

Don't cry Cherry :(

Saying that, I am feeling a bit flat about TTC...we are right at the beginning of it and I am still on my withdrawal bleed and I just want it to be over so I can crack on :( :(

cherrypiew3 · 31/10/2011 18:09

Evening Everyone

Having a really stressful day here today on top of TTC we are also trying to sell are house and today it really has all got on top of me and I just want to sit and cry.
OK moan over.

Kirrin Good news on the positive opk [hsmile]

Fish 8 hrs in not to long to go now

Fishkiss · 31/10/2011 14:22

Yay kirrin! See! I got mine on CD19 too, I was super excited! We are almost the same on our 2ww then, I'm just a couple days ahead of you Smile

Well I'm 8 hours into my 11.5 hour shift and exhausted! Just now got a break! Munching on a muffin and some chocolate milk. I'm having weird heart pains every once in awhile, hoping it's just from working too hard. Can't wait to go home and sleep. Have been so full on I haven't even thought about pg symptoms, then when I realized I was sad I haven't had any Sad

It's only 2 dpo though so I think any egg would still be just floating around?

CauldronOfBrownJoy · 31/10/2011 12:48

ooh Kirrin that's so exciting!! Good luck!!

tequila, I'm on the edge of my seat for you...... Smile

kirrinIsland · 31/10/2011 12:45

Morning all - or should that Afternoon? Where does the time go?!

Well, today I got a positive on my opk. I'm ridiculously excited :) I'd all but given up on it this month.

tequila got my fingers and toes crossed for you.

Cheeser · 31/10/2011 07:55

Morning one and all!

Still have very sore and sensitive nips... haven't had this before, don't usually get this before AF. But being on the POP meant that I haven't had a period for four months so maybe I'm just building up to a mother of one Sad

Although on Saturday I had a few wipes' worth of pink tinged sort-of discharge which could be a good sign? That was 4 days after SWI.

Funny how everything looks like a symptom now! Confused

Hope everyone has a good day!

Tequilamockinbat · 31/10/2011 07:39

Wow this thread moves too fast!

Morning ladies, and welcome cheeser, I'm back at work today after a few days off , boooo!

Still no sign of AF here, so staying positive, will test again either tomorrow or Wednesday all being well. Heartburn woke me up this morning and I was desperate for the loo. I'm thinking this is a good sign but trying not to get my hopes up after the BFN yesterday.

Sarah, any news from you? Any symptoms yet? (sorry if I've missed it, can't keep up with thread!)

kirrinIsland · 30/10/2011 19:25

fish I'm on CD 18 so I know it could still happen yet, but I'm getting impatient :) this is my first cycle since having DD so things could take a while to settle down I guess?
Have fun at work tomorrow - let us know the reactions you get to the new haircut

wannabemum24 · 30/10/2011 19:20

Cross my heart :)

Fishkiss · 30/10/2011 19:15

Ok - just don't say anything about it on my status as no one else knows my costum yet
