No more Pill!! This is it!! Starting a JULY-AUG 2012 bus...

[PipIsOutNow]

Hey guys!! Have taken the big step of coming of the Pill to TTC another DC. This will be DC number 2 - already have DS who is 15 months old and a DSD who is 7 years. We have spoken about another baby for a while now but it has now become more of a reality now that we have decided to stop using any contraception!! I am so so excited but know all too well about this horrible waiting game of patience which seems to get worse even after a BFP as then it's the painful wait for a 12 week scan!! (although this time I may pay for a private scan) I have had a MC before DS was born so am also aware of not getting to ahead of myself...but I'm so excited nonetheless!! I bought my friend a little present for her brand new (with tags on) baby girl and was so so broody. Cant wait for my turn now!!

Sorry for the long warbling post. This is such a hard time, the pre TTC, the waiting for BFP or BFN etc etc...I am the most impatient person in the world as it is...and to not to be able to tell anyone in RL makes it even harder!!

Hope there will be some ladies in the same boat as me!! Look forward to meeting u and sharing journeys!!

Lots of love, Pip xx

My DP doesn't go away with work, but we still live apart at the moment, so I only usually see him at weekends.

Its school holidays this week (I'm a teacher) so we have a whole blissful week together. We're waiting until I get pg to move in together, or the end of the school year, whichever is sooner...

Spend some quality time with the dog . I have a cocker spaniel who keeps me company in the week. What do you have?

sorry that was to wannabe!

Vino Yay you've validated my decision to go buy some more [hgrin]

He donates into the cup and then I have to leave it 15 minutes to liquefy, so he leaves after his biz is done and then I get myself into inseminating position

Although my dog has just had puppies and is positively god-awful right now so I'm going round to his place to collect tonight. The 15 minute liquefy period will be spent me driving back home, so I'll have to literally whip it into the syringe as soon as I get in the door

Oh fish, I can't think of anything more romantic!!! Lol! Saying that, my DH just said "let's have sex tonight, I want to make a point I doing it more"! Love him!

DH is off to Barcelona tomorrow! It's an incentive that he won through work. He hates his job but these incentives help.

Cauldron I have a Jackawawa!! She is meant to be half jack russell and half chiwawa, but she looks and act just like a jack Russell. She is called Tilly and is 2. We love her!! She is the result of me being broody 2 years ago!

I do think it's funny that we call each other these names; Fish, Vino, Cauldron!!! I know people don't want to go too public in case family/friends work out who we are, but feel free to call me Emily

do you want to facebook wannabe? If so pm me and I'll send you my details

Yay we have names!!

I hadn't actually thought of the connotations of my choice of username in the UK - as pants here in the US are trousers there...hm...a namechange due already??

Are we making Facebook friends? Giz' a PM [hgrin]

Gosh, I've missed a lot - my Internet went down yesterday, i didn't know what to do with myself.

cauldron I have 3 cocker spaniels - I love them :)
I've never heard of a jakawawa but it sounds very cute!

fish I've been doing a couple of opks a day at the moment [slightly obsessed]. I have heard (via the Internet, so it must be true) that the window for opks is quite narrow, it is quite possible for you to ovulate but for the test to miss it. Some people say they never got a positive, even in the cycle they got pregnant and so must have ovulated. Last time I used a clear blue digital monitor thing which was fab, but I've lent it to a friend who's been trying for ages so I can't ask for it back. They come up a lot on eBay though. They are better because they keep a track of your cycle for you, and because they detect LH and something else (I forget what) and so are more accurate - it'll tell you the best 3 days of your cycle to try.

wannabe day 14 for ovulation is for a 28 day cycle. I think, and I may be wrong (I often am but don't tell anyone), that you should count 14 days back from the last day of your cycle. There is something called the luteal phase,which apparently averages 14 days regardless of the length of your cycle. If you use the ov prediction thing on here it takes that into account and assumes 14 days unless you tell it otherwise - quite how you are supposed to know how long your luteal phase is I have no idea. I tend to just add a few extra days onto the beginning and end of the dates the predictor says.

Blimey, I've written an essay - sorry

Me too :) Although, Im slightly more addicted to this than fb now!

fish that really does sound romantic! Imagine getting stopped and searched on your way home .

Your dog sounds gorgeous wannabe. I have 2 shih tzu's and I absolutely adore them!

ok I'm pm'ing everyone now with my fb details. I'm easy to find...

Thanks Kirrin It's so nice to be able to ask and talk about stuff like this :)

I think I pm'd fish and cauldron...did it work?

yeah but there's lots of people with your name on fb!

Vino Bahahahahaha @ the thought of being stopped on the way home. [hgrin]

Oh and BTW - I will try adding you both to FB - but can I please ask that you not mention the TTC whatsoever yet as don't want to invite lots of comments [hgrin]

I think that goes for all of us actually - no ttc comments!!!

Ah yes, I was going to say that!! Please no mention of TTC or how we 'met'!! Fanx :)

I am kinda looking up to the right in a terrible pose, wearing a blue hoody with an orange line...it it helps?

I think I just added you wanna - Cauldron I can't find you

have a go at looking for me - I'm the only one

ok checking my settings...

ok sorry I've changed my privacy settings. Try again!!!

definitely no ttc comments! My ils will think it was a very happy accident!

ditto with my work friends....

I think I have successfully added all of you! Yay - now you seem like real people [hgrin]
