Top deck (Waiting to TTC / just seeing what happens)

Skulking on the stairs (Unsure of what to do)

Going into SS overdrive this week.....

Oh Frilly don't cry. You are 100% normal! (except the obsessive flashing ) I was in the same place last week. Once you get to grips with AF being here, you'll get your head round it and feel better.
I think we must have come off the pill at the same time ish! You have age on your side!
I felt so sick that I was sure I was upduffed!! Hormones have a lot to answer for!

AfuckingF arrived today, 2 days early :( I cried. A lot. At work! Urgh. Please someone tell me it's fine and normal and I've only been off the pill for one month and please reassure me that I won't be like my BS and take over 2 years to get PG...

Does desperate NEED to eat pastries for breakfast = PG?
If so, I've definitely graduated to the front of the bus.

Hopefully it should be a nice strong positive by then :)

Gotta wait till Saturday now, Vino DH wants to wait and I agreed! I think I'm mad!

Ooh frilly I just thought.... It's only 4 more sleeps till test day isn't it? Eeek

ooooh ok Fish, thanks for that.

So, I'll start being a bit more aware mid next week. Really don't feel pg though, and am worried we should have swi on Thurs....

How are you feeling now, Fish? Have you told your boss yet?

Ace thanks for that! V exciting for you this month, I hope you have nailed it. Drank far too much wine last night, not great when ttc but it did mean more swi

oooh its not secret from here, its secret on fb so your friends can't see what you've posted unless they are members (so they don't know about ttc)

I'll pm you now....

What's the secret FB group then?

exactly Fish! Fingers loosely crossed!

Can't help but get excited that we might have nailed it, even though its bad timing, yadda yadda!!

I don't feel any different though. How long before I can ss?

but previously not since Monday.... (tmi?)

Well if you've got your expert's hat on, Fish....

I think it was positive too. Is there a chance we missed our window though (in your professional opinion!)? Definite positive Thurs eve, very light positive Fri morning, swi Fri night and Sat morning....?

ok, quick question; do you always get EWCM when you OV? Haven't noticed it (yet) this month but got a positive on an opk on Thurs. Can you get a false positive?

welcome Gnomi!

I'm not sure I'm too much help on cycles, but I came off the pill at the end of September, and seem to be pretty regular now. Last cycle was 28 days. I think it can take around 3 months for everything to settle, longer if you were on the pill for a while... I was only on it around 3 or 4 months this last time, so I think my cycles have settled a bit quicker...

Hello, I'd like to join this thread please.

I'm 29 and ttc #1. I came off the pill at the end of August but didn't really swi that month because I was on anti-malarials. So we started properly this month. But my cycles seem to be really irregular - 38 days for the first and 45 for this one! I poas'd this morning but BFN. My cycles were fairly regular before I was on the pill - been on the pill for just over 2 years - around 31 days. How long does it take for your cycle to return to regular?

A few glasses of wine will help keep you sane, so go for it guilt-free!

I kind of explained on fb, but I just feel quite uncomfortable discussing names with DP still. I'm not totally sure why. I managed to have an "in theory" general chat about name types, but I didn't mention any that I like.

I think I'm almost worried about coming across some kind of psycho broody monster for even having thought "that's a nice name". That's a hangover from my ex I think.

Saying that, DP is quite the opposite - wants to chat about names he likes today for some reason! I still find it weird how comfortable DP discussing things like weddings and babies.... again, that's left over from the ex....

Im here now... Just had the shift from hell and ended up having a few glasses of wine! Bollocks

Don't be weired out about the baby names although I get where you're coming from. Even though we have two I often wonder if we're going to be lucky enough to have another. It's strange naming a baby im not even pregnant with yet.

Time to soak up wine with a chinese.....

soooo ronleeeee....

I'm here!! I think everyone has defected to fb!

DP is chatting about baby names. I'm getting a little weirded out!
