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

Congrats to the graduates!! :-)

AF is not due for me until Friday - would I notice any symtpoms at this early stage? Keep thinking I feel a bit sick but maybe Im just making myself feel so by obsessing so much about whether Im preggers or not??!! How early could you tell???!?!

Im so impatient!!!!!

Go Sparkle go! Fingers crossed!

Congratulations Fish Whoop whoop!

Three grads now, who's next?

Hello Disney

Think I have officially worn DP out this weekend, and he thought he was highly sexed!!!! (ha ha ha evil cackle)

MM xx

secret the 9th sounds right to me - crack open a first response and get testing - you never know :)

Morning Ladies

fish big congrats to you

Disney welcome baby #8 and I thought I was being brave ttc #4

AF due 16th so I am ss like mad but I have to admit I have none nothing at all really feel like this will not be my month.

Go Fish, Go Fish etc!! Hopw exciting.

8 Disney?!!? I am nervous about 1!!! Wlcome to the crazy bunch though :)

Well, theoretically I haven't even ovulated yet but I feel different. Weird. And annoying. Lots of SWI this week!!!

Hello ladies, Can I join the bus? Just spent a while reading through previous posts, big congratulations to the graduates!!

DP and I are ready to start trying again after first pregnancy ended in a mmc. I'm off to buy zinc for DP and pregnacare conception for me. I am literally clueless about my cycle so please forgive any stupid questions.

Welcome Hatti! We are an odd bunch! Very sorry to heat about your mc. Must be so awful. I'm glad you are trying again now though!! Tell us about yourself!! If you want to join our secret FB group, feel free to PM me and I'll add you.

Oh, and no question is stupid!! Trust me

Can I join please?? Day 4 off the pill and I've already had AF - can my cycle be righting itself so quickly?? TTC #2, DD is 14 months. VERY BROODY!

Welcome MakeTea!! Yes, it is very possible :) I came off my pill 3 Sundays ago to TTC #1 and I had my withdrawal bleed on the Friday! I'm not doing any OPKs yet, but will be interested to see how things go this month.

Hi Secret ! Yup yup, lots of SWI each day just to make sure we do our best to catch a golden egg if one is released! It's fun How are you? x

Oh my gosh, I put each day!! I meant every other day!! It's on my mind...and tonight's the night

Secret, that's a good idea! Fingers crossed!!

Argh...I just SO want to be pregant :(

Still hasn't sunk in, not sure how long it will take before I really realize this is it! I'm sooooo tired though and now realize not just from everything going on.

I checked out a couple pg threads but if it's ok with you guys I'd like to hang out here with the gang seems more friendly but I understand if not!

Oh Fish you are a div!

Of COURSE we want you to stay!! We'd miss you if you went :(

Glad stupid questions are welcome, I really am clueless. But stocked up on zinc and folic acid so I at least feel kind of prepared.

Not sure what to tell you about myself, I have some swotting to do before I can share CD dates etc. I'm 31, UK-based and slightly tea-obessed, which I think might be a shared passion looking at some of the great names on here. I don't have any little ones unless my two cats count.

Now I know what SWI means I will doing just that tonight!

Ooh, we should have an SWI party :) DO you know how to work out CD days etc? CD1 is the day you get your period/AF/red witch etc!! In a 28 day cycle which is average, most women ovulate around day 14 which means you should SWI every other day from about CD12 to CD17! That way you are more likely to catch an egg :)

Stupid job causing me to miss out on all the latest goings on on the bus.

fish I am over the moon for you - all that swotting up has paid off! Of course you can stay on our bus, we would all be totally lost without you, your lists and your superior obsessing knowledge....

disney, number 8! I am lost for words...!

welcome hatti and maketea - good luck to everyone for this cycle

I'm beginning to think about putting my opk's away for a couple of months. I've seen the most beautiful wedding dress..... would be a bit spoiled with a mahoosive bump! (but a little one would be ok )

Welcome hatti, and good luck!

Because I'm do crap at this TTC malarkey I'm going to ask you guys for advice this month

Based on a normal cycle, and last AF was 29/10, when do you think i should Be SWI?

I'm determined not to use OPK until after Christmas!

Oops last AF was 3/11, I was looking at wrong week on calendar

You are exactly a week after me Tequila! Therefore, you should be fertile from the 14th - 19th Nov, due to OV on the 17th. I would recommend SWI every other day (for the freshest swimmers) during that time. So maybe, 13th, 15th, 17th 19th and 21st to be on the safe side :) Hope that helps!! x

tequila speaking as a non-expert, I would say you should ov on the 16th or 17th, so I'd be swi'ing from about the 12th til about the 20th just to be on the safe side.

fish please don't go :) It would be nice if we all stayed - after all, hopefully this will start as a ttc thread and end up as a pregnancy one!

Welcome Hattie and maketea

X-post Yorkshire At least we agree !

Evening all!

Welcome Hattie & Maketea

And so the dreaded 2WW starts! Already a noticeable change in CM. It's all very fascinating (please excuse my curiousness but been on the pill since I was 17/18)

Who else is 2WW? Cherry?

Fish you're not allowed to go, no grads can leave! It's a bit like the secret handshake club (Masons) for girls!

What's everyone up to tonight?

Cup description of dress please or pic on FB.
