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

wannabemum24 · 27/10/2011 16:47

Ah...so the 2 weeks between OD and AF? I see :) Thanks Wine

Vinolover · 27/10/2011 16:55

Yes, sorry I didnt explain very well.

Wish mine was over. I have a headache that's making me feel a wee bit sick and not sure what to take. Argh

Fishpants · 27/10/2011 17:16

I guess I'm in the 2ww now - how maddening and exciting! Am still checkin every tiny sign for possible preg symptoms - I have had random heartburn today which only ever had twice in my life and feeling a bit sick. Could have been the 12 biscuits yesterday though Blush

I'm also 24 Grin ... And a half! When's your birthday wanna?

Fishpants · 27/10/2011 17:51

Starting to freak out - can't find my OPK's I used this morning, the cheapies. I have a million of them so don't want to use any of the name brand ones if I can help it - where the heck did I put them this morning???? I've checked my car, my bag, near my bed, the computer, the bathroom - they can't have got up and walked off? All my other TTC stuff is in one place, but they are missing! Confused Confused

CauldronOfBrownJoy · 27/10/2011 18:25

Vinolover · 27/10/2011 20:31

Hmmm, obviously busy Wink.

I've just come in from having dinner with the family. Decided wine was the best painkiller for my headache, and yes it worked!

wannabemum24 · 27/10/2011 20:34

I'm here in the background! Just watching Water for Elephants at my mum's book group. C word is cancer...she isn't too well Blush

Vinolover · 27/10/2011 20:39

Oh wannabe im so sorry. I do hope she recovers soon. X

CauldronOfBrownJoy · 27/10/2011 20:41

oh I'm really sorry to hear about your mum, wannabe. Sad - like a sad face emoticon even covers it..... Hope it works out for her.

I'm in German speaking social hell - everyone getting drunk and I can understand about one word in five... so am sitting here MNing instead.

Any pg news today? DP keeps rubbing my belly and I keep having to tell him I'm 99% there's nothing there... he thinks its like a genie in a bottle, if he rubs enough it might appear!!!

Vinolover · 27/10/2011 20:44

Have just realised my CD is wrong! Duh

Vinolover CD19, OD 22/10, AF 06/11

Vinolover · 27/10/2011 20:46

Aw bless him cauldron. My DH keeps telling me he really thinks it hasn't happened this month for us.

CauldronOfBrownJoy · 27/10/2011 20:48

yes Vino, I thought we were the same!?

Cut and paste yourself into the list...

Oh boo that your DH is having negative vibes, try and ignore him Smile

wannabemum24 · 27/10/2011 20:52

Ah thanks Smile Sadly it's a terminal thing, but you know what? We are a really close family and it's ok. I am lucky, esp with my DH! I will be back home just after 10...will you all be in bed by then?

wannabemum24 · 27/10/2011 20:53

Still no withdrawal bleed! Bleugh. Just want to know what my body is doing Sad Am too impatient!!

Vinolover · 27/10/2011 20:56

It won't let me do it? Strange.

Cauldron are you getting any crampy feelings? I keep feeling asthough AF will turn up at any moment :( Just wondering if it could be from Ovulating???
Oh, DH certainly gets ignored when he gets all negative.

Vinolover · 27/10/2011 20:57

Im so sorry wannabe. I hope you get your baby before long so at least your mum gets to meet him/her.

CauldronOfBrownJoy · 27/10/2011 21:00

I felt sort of grumbly for a few days this week - that's a really crap excuse but it felt more like wind than anything else tbh, and now nothing. I really don't feel any different to usual.... It was possibly ovulating but if I'm honest I don't have an effing clue Grin

I'm concentrating more on getting a couple of months under my belt post-pill and trying the opk's next month.

Really not feeling anything this month...
