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

Fishpond · 06/11/2011 14:15

Cup I did just to tidy up the list a bit and remind us where we all were wrt 2ww, etc. You can reinstate them if you like, I sort of like the bare bones list meself Grin

CupOfBrownJoy · 06/11/2011 13:45

Did we leave OV dates out of the list for any particular reason?

YorkshireTeaAddict · 06/11/2011 13:42

Im really hoping your Grandma responds well to treatment. You must be feeling so helpless at the moment. Im really keeping my fingers crossed you get your positive this month!

Congratulations again Sarah! You must be buzzing right now :)

My DH hates coffee with a passion so we won't be trying that one out! Oooh, maybe a strong cup of tea would help Hmm.

Tequilamockinbat · 06/11/2011 09:33

Well done and congratulations again Sarah!

Minky, Go and SWI!! No idea how long the EWCM lasts but I know that it's good for carrying little swimmers to wear they need to be Wink

Haven't been on here for a while and it's moved too quickly so will have to read through later on and catch up!

Have a good day all Smile

kirrinIsland · 06/11/2011 09:29

Congratulations Sarah Grin

That's two graduates almost straight away - I hope it's catching :)

MinkyMoodles · 06/11/2011 09:17

Morning Ladies!

Congratulations Sarah Woooo hoo fab news! :)

Yorkshire I read somewhere that the caffine wakes the swimmers up a bit and gives them a boost so thought, why not? Get DH to bathe in coffee for two hours prior to SWI!!Wink Only kidding, down a mug or two 15 mins before Grin

I came off Pop pill about three ish weeks ago, AF around the usual time and have had a smilie on my Opk, it states on distructions that smilie = ovulating so I'm guessing you can!

I've had (tmi coming up) excessive EWCM since Friday am (smilie friday pm) so DP has been on duty non stop!

How long does this excessive EWCM last?

Any info mucho appreciated!

DP has just demanded his first coffee. Hmmm sounds like I might get lucky again this morning Wink he's taking it all very seriously! Bless him!

MM x

Fishpond · 06/11/2011 09:07

Congrats again Sarah! 2 graduates!!

I'm 8 dpo and did a test this morning - BFN. I will probably end up testing every day until AF shows Sad

My grandma isn't doing well, it's cancer that is causing the blockage, if it doesn't sort itself out on it's own in the next few days she will need surgery. However she needs more chemo and the doc said if she has to wait to start chemo until after she recovers from surgery it may be too late for it to be effective Sad

So fingers crossed it sorts itself out and she is ok soon. Just makes me more certain of the "life is short" mantra and more sure that I want to be pregnant like yesterday!!

Had a horrid day at work yesterday, hopin today's better but doubt it! Have a good day my lovelies.

YorkshireTeaAddict · 06/11/2011 08:48

Congratulations Sarah!!! Yay yay yay!!

Minky please explain in full what is the coffee thingy method????

I hope you are all well. I am due to OV next Friday, but I am certain I got some EWCM yesterday. So, I acted upon it!!!

Ladies, is it even possible to ovulate the month you come off the pill?

Bear
Sarah5656 · 06/11/2011 08:28

Tested this morning's first wee with a first response and....... I'M PREGNANT!!! Grin
Although very faint there is a second pink line Grin
Think obviously the obsessive POASer that I am I will test again in a couple of days just to get a darker line.
When I tested a few days ago there was a grey second line but this time it was defiantly pink Grin

Good evening ladies :)

Sorry about your AF Cauldron Im taking today as day 1 as yesterday didn't amount to anything at all but today it has certainly come!! Looks like we're the same again :)

There's still lots of hope left Sarah

Have you any news yet on your Grandmother Fish?

Evening Ladies

sarah sorry about the BFN but its not over till you know who shows her ugly head.

Minky I always eem to get period type pains around ovulation never feel sick though.

Have had a lovely afternoon my friend came over with her brand new baby so have had lots of baby cuddles. Now she has gone though all I can think about is how much I really want one.

CupOfBrownJoy · 05/11/2011 16:37

No, I can't say I do, Minky. The only thing I get around OV is a faint crampy feeling and increased CM... Odd one...

Sorry to hear about the BFN Sarah Sad

Sarah5656 · 05/11/2011 16:35

POAS (again) first response early test. Still BFN think I should just give up hope, AF is just late Sad
