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

Ok people, so as you know AF came Monday.... However, it finished last night which is very weird, this has never happened ever! Sorry if TMI but it was normal colour but not as heacy. I normally suffer very heavy pains and clots but that has not happened. What could this mean?

wannabemum24 · 27/10/2011 22:38

Ok cool! Only 4 days off the pill, all a bit new Blush

So, theoretically I should ovulate 14 days from now??

Clandy · 27/10/2011 22:34

YEY!! Smile yeah cd 1 begins (as long as it is proper not just spotting, I had a bit of pinky spotting day before and this didn't count) Smile

wannabemum24 · 27/10/2011 22:31

AF/withdrawal bleed has arrived :) Should I count from now??

Clandy · 27/10/2011 22:28

Hello! I shall do my best to pm you all for facebook! Glad it is agreed that 24 is not too young my mum was in her 2nd at 24 and it was seen as normal then!!

Couldren- I thought ddog was a cool nickname you had given you dog!!

Well DD has drawn all over our lovely new wallpaper so not sure OH is going to want another at this rate Grin

And I tested about a week ago bfn so just awaiting af!! Never wanted it so much.... Grin

kirrinIsland · 27/10/2011 22:18

I'm only partially in the facebook group - so far I only have cauldron

I haven't played in a while cauldron as it's a bit time consuming, I'm also a bit broke at the moment and it's not the cheapest hobby!

I've had no positive on my opks yets - I'm getting a bit frustrated as I'm sure it should be about now.

fishpants hang in there, the 2ww really drags, but hopefully we'll all have a bfp soon. If you've looked for your opks in all the obvious places then it's time to "think outside the box" (hate that phrase!) - fridge,oven, dog's bed.....

I'm off to bed now - night all :)

Fishpants · 27/10/2011 22:02

Cauldron Yay, glad to know I'm validated Grin

Feeling a bit crap at the moment. Can't find my damn sticks, heartburn thing bothering me but hungry as a horse, weird gas pain from stupid stupid pre-natal vits, stupid OPK lines not being sure enough for me to pinpoint when I O'ed. Sad Sad I threw it all I got and am sure nothing's happened. I'm so bummed.

CauldronOfBrownJoy · 27/10/2011 21:56

I totally have ocd too. I'm getting an unreasonable amount of pleasure from our new organised list. Thanks fish!!

wannabemum24 · 27/10/2011 21:42

Thanks Kirrin, it's nice (it a totally NON sadistic way) to know that I'm not the only one going through such an awful time. Saying that, I'm sorry to hear you are Sad

Not heard from DH yet Sad He left at 7am...

CauldronOfBrownJoy · 27/10/2011 21:37

Fish I'm impressed Grin

Fishpants · 27/10/2011 21:35

Wait - Kirrin's now in the FB group? [jealous] Sending PM...

Fishpants · 27/10/2011 21:34

wanna terribly sorry about your mum - My grandmother (who is like my mum since she raised me from the age of 10) has been dealing with Stage 4 ovarian cancer for the last 3 years, 2 rounds of chemo. She doesn't want to say when she's feeling bad but I think it's coming back and they've said her body can't take any more so when it does appear it's just a countdown Sad Sad That being said - I reeeeeeeeeally want DC to make an appearance due to that - if it's a girl she will have my grandmother's first name as her middle name (it's also my middle name) and if it's a boy he will have my grandma's dad's name as his middle name. Hope she's pleased Smile

I fell asleep Blush I only got 4 hours of sleep before having to go to work at a god-awful time. Lovely 3 hour nap later and I'm going on a hunt for my OPK's. How the heck could they have just disappeared?!

CauldronOfBrownJoy · 27/10/2011 21:27

Kirrin sorry to hear you're dealing with the horrid c-word too Sad

I've been stalking looking at your fb page - do you play polocrosse? I had a go a while ago now and loved it! So much fun.... Smile

wannabe I'm sorry about your Mum. I have just been dealing with the same. It is hard, but like you, I come from a close family and it is so much easier when you have that to support you.

wannabemum24 · 27/10/2011 21:08

Thanks Smile

Vino, when did you feel different when you were pg before? X

CauldronOfBrownJoy · 27/10/2011 21:00

I felt sort of grumbly for a few days this week - that's a really crap excuse but it felt more like wind than anything else tbh, and now nothing. I really don't feel any different to usual.... It was possibly ovulating but if I'm honest I don't have an effing clue Grin

I'm concentrating more on getting a couple of months under my belt post-pill and trying the opk's next month.

Really not feeling anything this month...

Vinolover · 27/10/2011 20:57

Im so sorry wannabe. I hope you get your baby before long so at least your mum gets to meet him/her.

Vinolover · 27/10/2011 20:56

It won't let me do it? Strange.

Cauldron are you getting any crampy feelings? I keep feeling asthough AF will turn up at any moment :( Just wondering if it could be from Ovulating???
Oh, DH certainly gets ignored when he gets all negative.

wannabemum24 · 27/10/2011 20:53

Still no withdrawal bleed! Bleugh. Just want to know what my body is doing Sad Am too impatient!!

wannabemum24 · 27/10/2011 20:52

Ah thanks Smile Sadly it's a terminal thing, but you know what? We are a really close family and it's ok. I am lucky, esp with my DH! I will be back home just after 10...will you all be in bed by then?

CauldronOfBrownJoy · 27/10/2011 20:48

yes Vino, I thought we were the same!?

Cut and paste yourself into the list...

Oh boo that your DH is having negative vibes, try and ignore him Smile

Vinolover · 27/10/2011 20:46

Aw bless him cauldron. My DH keeps telling me he really thinks it hasn't happened this month for us.

Vinolover · 27/10/2011 20:44

Have just realised my CD is wrong! Duh

Vinolover CD19, OD 22/10, AF 06/11

CauldronOfBrownJoy · 27/10/2011 20:41

oh I'm really sorry to hear about your mum, wannabe. Sad - like a sad face emoticon even covers it..... Hope it works out for her.

I'm in German speaking social hell - everyone getting drunk and I can understand about one word in five... so am sitting here MNing instead.

Any pg news today? DP keeps rubbing my belly and I keep having to tell him I'm 99% there's nothing there... he thinks its like a genie in a bottle, if he rubs enough it might appear!!!

Vinolover · 27/10/2011 20:39

Oh wannabe im so sorry. I do hope she recovers soon. X
