CD 31 of pre-pill cycle of 28/29.
No AF - slight pink watery spotting yesterday
Negative HPT

Hi Moose - yes we can!! Doctor recently asked whether cycles were normal before the pill and I didn't have a clue! Been on it for 14 years and had no need to track every date and bodily function in such detail beforehand!!

Hi May

Ooh we can be cycle buddies!! Fingers crossed for a smooth exit from the evil pill!!! (I've not thought it evil for the last 15 years it's saved me from unwanted pregnancy - it's just evil now I've decided I want a child and it's been messing with my body!)

Hi all - can I join?

Cycle 1
CD 12

I have been lurking right since the first thread back in Sept but just got married in Jan so weren't in a position to try till post honeymoon. It has been great following to pick up lots of tips and see all the BFP's. Gives you hope it can happen quick as I have been pretty broody for some time!!

Like Moose I am straight of the pill so need to see what happens. On my 3rd day of High fertility on CB tests so will hopefully peak later this week. Excited now I can start but sure that will become frustration soon!!

Congrats yvonne hope you have a carefree 8/9 months xx

Have been baby bombed left right and centre last few weeks so hoping there's something in the air 😅

Hi all

Struggling to keep up but I am still here.

Cycle 3

Feeling hopeful this month as managed to dtd much more over fertile week. Currently 5dpo (roughly). No symptoms apart from tired and sore boobs and lots of cm.

Don't really know when I ovulate so just going to dtd every other day Once AF buggers off!

I know exactly what you mean Jem the 2ww has got so old! I have zero symptoms to spot so can't even play that game. Your hangover symptoms sound hopeful so fx!

I heard about the postnatal psychosis documentary on the radio-it does sound interesting, did you watch it in the end? Love your fur baby 💕

Tee hee at the blusher Kat! I am a little disappointed that you haven't revealed a brilliant new seduction technique. I bloody need one!

Kwick you obviously have good genes in your family!

Sounds hopeful Jam! Fx for you.

Miley your niece sounds lovely, I have a lovely niece around the same age too. Mine is super cuddly

Starky I lol'd at Mother nature and af have combined forces, it's possible they may be trying to assassinate me from within. haha!

Cycle 3, cd 26 and AF imminent in the next day or two I reckon

Huge congrats yvonne 💐

jam aww your DH sounds so excited bless him.

Update - crazy vivid dreams again, woke up feeling hungover and raging thirst continues. Dont want to get my hopes up but I do just feel a bit off / funny. Could be coming down with something, alternatively.

Thanks Irregular :)
Got belly grumblings as if AF is on its way today though so not feeling too optimistic. Trying to fend off DH who seems to be waiting round every corner with a FRER. Might not tell him my dates next cycle because my willpower is better this month and his seems to be the opposite!

Miley, age 26, homing a 6+2 blueberry in my womb.

starky I have the dvd my mother bought me it for christmas a few years ago.

elle my brother has a 5 year old. She's not his by blood but he's been there since she was 6 months. Her real dad is a complete waste of space and never makes an effort to see her, he's always saying he'll come then let's her down. She's an angel, I absolutely adore her.

I've been up since 3 again feeling nauseous. I'm now sleeping with boiled sweets next to me to try to take the edge off it!

Congrats yvonne and commiserations on the AF's... Boo!

Cycle 1 (although here straight off the pill so still awaiting first "proper" AF so that might count as -1! )
CD 10 of a who knows how long cycle
Pee'd on my first stick yesterday (OPK) which made it all seem very real. Negative, but real none the less!!
The plan this month is just to actually manage to DTD which with scared DP and full blown lurgy in this house is a challenge in itself!

FX for you zazzles

Just checking in...

Pink, age 33, a grad currently cooking an 11+5 fig, still lurking on here to see how you are all coming along.

Fingers crossed for lots of sex and bfp's over the next few weeks

Aghh starky that doesn't sound fun!

Sneaking in... Zazz, 31, CD24/28, 9-10dpo, cycle 3. symptoms: boobs not so tender anymore, some cramping, cm drying up, not so positive anymore! Think I'll start testing from tomorrow but I'll hold out for as long as I can.

Starky, I swear since TTC the my periods have become heavier and more painful. My body is definitely messing with me.

Anyway, I'm 32 and on cycle 3 of TTC#1. Currently CD14 but trying to take a step back this month so studiously ignoring any signs of anything.

Helloo,
