1st month TTC

So i survived! Took seconds couldnt believe it - prob the fact ive had 2 children helped. Didnt hurt at all and i asked to keep it - she said i was the first person who has ever asked that!ha

The doctor wouldn't tell her anything about your appointment anyway, don't worry x

Ive had a water infection lately so blamed it on that, of all the times and days for herappointment to be - shes gone in before me with the same doctor so i hope she doesnt say anything to her.

I didn't ask to keep mine GoHump have no need to and wouldn't know what to do with it

Blame it on having a smear?? Oh dear! Good luck though, you'll be fine!

Oh god. Walkin the docs and whos in the waiting room? My mother! I did a u turn to quickly think up an excuse y i was here as i never go to the docs unless i have to!

good reminder thingsthatgohumpinthenight! i totally forgot i wanted to ask to take it home!

The doctor is gonna think i am very odd and i pass her every day at my DS's school but oh well, the strange looks will be worth it! lol

Did you keep it jess?

omg so she did it with her fingers!? i thought they used tweezer like things to grab hold of it. ouch... she wont be able to get hold of my string with her fingers as its only just sticking a few mils out of the cervix opening... god wish half 2 would hurry up so i could just get it over with!

Thanks for sharing Jess, everyone, you can look back now! ha.

Feel too sick to eat my lunch

If it makes you feel better everyone else - TMI alert, look away!

It was this simple: got waist-down naked as you'd expect! Lay down. She checked to see if she could feel the strings, by putting fingers up and pressing on my abdomen presumably to shift my cervix around. She could, but it was ok either way, she just would've used a small tool if she hadn't been able to feel them. Then she put the speculum in, reached up and pulled! It's kinda like if you pull out a tampon but it's still a bit dry, except farther up. It was a tad uncomfortable but it didn't hurt. That was it, it was out! She let me get dressed and off I went :)

Hopefully that's reassuring!

Tell me what happened with yours Jess? and include all the tmi!

the closer it gets to my appointment the more sick i feel....

Its so interesting reading all of these posts about AF's being due and ovulation dates, cant wait to have my coil out (in 3 hours time!eek) so i can join in. I feel like i cant contribute much atm so forgive me for just sort of bobbing in and out with my random posts!
Told work i have an app with the bank so i hope the doctor isnt behind on her schedule and that idont bump into anyone i know in there!

Im freaking out that she wont be able to find the strings so tbh i just wanna get it over with even though me and my DH have been argueing thismorning so right now i dont even want to DTD tonight with him! ha.

This month I have had weird pains quite frequently, sometimes it's like a period pain that lingers, other times it's like a sharp jab to the pubic area! Also had some dull lower back/coxyx (sp??) pain in the last week or so. My period isn't due til like 5th/6th dec. Am I symptom spotting or could this be something?? Not got any pregnancy tests because I know I shouldn't be testing but it's doing my head in not knowing! Last time i dtd was 6th nov just before my last period!

I'm assuming them at means pregancy test? Lol! Sorry I'm still getting used to these abbreviations! If so, then no. I'll wait until next week at least xx

Regina have you done a hpt?

I was fairly regular (from what I remember before) but thought it would've been here by now! :(

Hi Regina yes I did have withdrawal on the 30th October for about 4 days. So exactly 27 days later I've got af. I used to have a 28 day cycle. I can't believe I've been so lucky for it to come so quick. Everything I've read seems to imply it would have taken longer. I shouldn't worry just yet, 33 days isn't that long.

lizzie well done on the patience!

Lol cool! I just want it to come now! Will make things easier for TTC as my OH works away, any longer and I'll prob ovulate when he is away and then we have no chance! :(

Mine took 33 days to come regina, don't worry yet

honeybear did you have a withdrawal also?

My final pill was the 26th of oct and I'm still waiting for AF but I had a withdrawal afterwards, confused!!

Ha, I havent even ovulated yet and I want to know of I'm pg

Probably wise Lizzie :) how very sensible and patient of you - I'm with GoHumpInTheNight on the needing to know ASAP

Well if I was back to normal I would have been due around Friday. On Saturday I tested and it was negative, but almost straight away got this pink discharge, which I assumed was AF. But then it didn't develop. Thing is, coming off BCP, I don't know if or when I've ovulated, so not really sure when to test. The suspense is driving me crazy but don't want to get a false BFN! Think I'll wait till Saturday. Thanks for your advice ladies x

If it was me and id only bked for two days I would test again, but I am probably not the best person too ask because I am very impatient and HAVE. TO. KNOW. EVERYTHING. NOW When did you last test and what did you use? Do you do anything you'd need to stop doing if you were pg?
