So a slightly lighter and less scary thread for those who are chucking away the pills and the condoms and hoping for the best!

My first too.

Clifton area of Bristol is really nice. owo - antique shops and delis and a pretty square and so on.

Welcome OnlyWantsOne

Having a busy work day today. Humph!

This would be my first. Terrified isn't the word. I'm still not 100% sold on the idea. My list of things to be terrifed about is as long as my arm.

But I still want my period to re-start. Body, you will listen to me, I am your master!!

OnlyWantsOne · 09/03/2010 12:57

dont be scared - all will be well..

I can strongly recommend not getting too freaked out about stuff too quickly.

It will do you no good.

Just keep shagging will be just fine, and don't for heavens sakes, lay back and start thinking about babies whilst you and your DH are at it as it were....

LOL :P

We get interrupted by DD some times, thats terrifying!!!!

30andLurking · 09/03/2010 12:52

Ah, nice! Proper city... nice countryside nearby... enjoy! Bet you can find some lovely places for a dirty weekend of strenuous research!

Yep, this is No.1. [terrified emoticon]!

OnlyWantsOne · 09/03/2010 11:53

uh, more of a looking at the area with the prospect of moving there...

Bristol

so are you TTC your 1st?

30andLurking · 09/03/2010 11:42

Phew!

OOh, I love booking holidays and things! Whereabouts you off to? Is this a TTC dirty weekend or a birthday/anniversary/you're OWED ONE weekend!

OnlyWantsOne · 09/03/2010 11:10

hahahaha no, that doesn't mean that!!!!

Dont worry - stay and talk to me, im very bored and searching for hotels for my dirty weekend away in a few weeks

30andLurking · 09/03/2010 10:57

Sorry... I assumed - clearly wrongly - that your name referred to only wanting one PFB, and you have one, and now you're trying for another... And I'm an idiot!

OnlyWantsOne · 09/03/2010 10:53

why would I change my name?

30andLurking · 09/03/2010 10:21

PS, who else here is going for their first?

30andLurking · 09/03/2010 10:21

Hi OnlyWantsOne - name changing soon?

Anyone else got 'Just keep shagging' to the 'Just keep swimming' song from Finding Nemo in their head.....?

Betya have now!

OnlyWantsOne · 09/03/2010 10:14

ooooo can I join brings biscuits and pastry

after all... we might be eating for two (very soon)

DP and I discussed trying at great lengths, decided to wait a few months, till end of summer, August time before binning the condoms, except this weekend he took it upon himself to ignore his own decision completely :D

Any hoo.... we're just taking it how it comes.

We have one DD, she's 3

Im really excited, but dont want to start getting carried away.

Keep me grounded girls....

Just keep shagging :D

BrassicaBabe · 09/03/2010 08:54

Pipi I banged my head for being a prime idiot! Yes I was disappointed, but a BFP would have scared me sily too!

ilovetochat · 08/03/2010 19:35

pipistrello, no i didnt use any testing last time but i fell pregnant in 2 months so i was very lucky!
im trying not to even think about cycle or anything.

pipistrello · 08/03/2010 16:39

Ah no, bb ! Were you disappointed?

BrassicaBabe · 08/03/2010 08:13

Morning All. Another day another dollar!

I am indeed an idiot! I POAS yesterday. BFN of course. Heaven knows why! Well, chatting with a friend she convinced me that no period return doesn't necesarily mean no pg. Stooopid. So I flushed £4.5 downn the loo.

Although I was true to the moto a fair bit this weekend

Hey-ho.

pipistrello · 08/03/2010 08:08

Welcome, then! Did you do mucus and testing kits first time round? Or were you a just shagging credit to the thread?

ilovetochat · 06/03/2010 10:42

hi can in join in.
came off the pill jan and had a heavy withdrawal bleed then had a normal period feb so consider we started ttc march.
im 32 already and have a dd 2.8 so hoping im pregnant 2010 so age gap isnt too huge.
no testing/ov sticks, just seeing how it goes, for now

30andLurking · 05/03/2010 11:12

Ha ha, pipistrello like your thinking! In fact was planning some majorly distracting tactics - time to break out the good underwear methinks!

Just waiting for first proper post-Pill period, then I guess it's all systems go over here. God, that's proper grown up that is.

Katkin1979 · 04/03/2010 20:57

Ha ha pipstrello, glad to see I'm not the only one suspecting early menopause whenever I'm a few hours late. I thought I was a rational person until I started ttc. Turns out I'm loopy as they come. My MN-ing is also currently secret from DH - he would say it's bad for me. Yeah right, like Fifa 10 doesn't rot your brain.

Anyway, period ended today so it's back on the non-alcoholic wine and back on the wagon!

pipistrello · 04/03/2010 18:31

PS You can disguise the hyperventilation as extreme passion as an extra way to distract him from the lack of condom.

pipistrello · 04/03/2010 18:29

How come you need to wait for your period, 30 ? Or did I miss something upthread?

30andLurking · 04/03/2010 11:29

or it will be, just as soon as I've a) had a period, b) distracted my DH (condom? What condom? focus on the naked woman over here!) c) managed to stop hyperventilating at the thought of deliberately trying to get knocked up...!

BrassicaBabe · 04/03/2010 09:14

30 Yep a home worker sometimes. But yesterday I was actally slaving skiving in the office!

Yes, just shagging! That's our moto!

And you know reading up on things is the beginning of the end!!

MrsWajs · 04/03/2010 08:20

Lol @ pipistrello!!

I also have no clue about mucus and temps etc etc
Been ttc for about 7 months, adopted the "relaxed approach" for about 2 months and then got sucked into all the ov kits etc - so far has really just been an expensive way of discovering whether or not I'll get a period each month!!
