Hi

Just thought as there was a thread for the older mums (there words not mine)Smile
that i would start one for the younger ones.

Think AF is on her way (fingers crossed) as i normally have 48-70 cycles this will be my first one at 34/35 days - yippee.

It probably won't happen now, anyway feel free to write away.

TTC 11 month - waiting for appoinment at fertlity clinic.

Yipeeeee

AF has now arrived after 11 months off the pill this is my shortest cycle at 35 days - hope this is the start of good things.

I going to chart now and use my clear blue fetility monitor, so might need some help with the covering line as i am not sure i have understood that correctly in 'taking charge of your fertlilty book' (will have to finish reading it now)

As you can imagine i am V happy and just hope this means i might have started to ovulate and my progestrone levels are on the up.

Sorry for rambling.

Lucky you - wish i was my own boss.

Have to admit i still drink too much for ttc, binge drink at weekends. And my partner drinks at weekend too, he does sometimes have a few in the week, plus he smokes which is v bad but i can't get him to give up.

Right there with you Natty. I'm self-employed, so there's no-one to stop me: a blessing and a curse.

TBH, mumsnet has pretty much kept me sane (more or less) through this ttc period. Me & DH have to work very hard not to let it affect our relationship, but we still feel like all the fun has been taken out of life recently. Can't drink too much, can't get stoned, sex isn't spontaneous.

If we have a baby then obviously it will have been worth it (although we still won't be able to drink to much or get stoned), but - without being able to see the future - it's hard.

I just cannot believe how addictive this site is, i seem to pop in every two hours to see what has happened.

I think we are all waiting for peachy to test and so i keep coming in for that, and to see you coggy are doing on the weight loss thread.

i keep telling myself - have a day off. think i will get the sack if i carry on, so might have to start going on more in the evening and do a days reading to catch up.

I am fully of the belief that - once I actually manage to conceive, take it to full-term and give birth - I will no longer need mumsnet as I will know automatically what to do. I will smile pityingly at those who try to give me advice, and slowly word of my wisdom will spread. Cynical long-term Mumsnetters will flock to hear my every utterance.

Oh yes.

Of course Hopecat, yes as we are not yet mums we will be naturals. x

Hey Natty - I'll join you! (If I'm allowed at the grand old age of 30).

I am a first-timer at least, and the 'older mums' thread says late thirties, so unless I get really cliquey and start a 30-35 thread, this is my niche.

So, obviously, as not-yet-mums we secretly disapprove of everyone else's child-rearing methods, and know that we'll be naturals and sail through motherhood. Right?
