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

Know how you feel cup - the 2ww has never felt so long. I see all these bfp people making it look so easy and think it should just be a matter of doing a test and getting a bfp of my own! Don't think this will be my month though....

cheeser can't hurt to do a test, if only to stop you worrying about it. As far as I know, brown blood is old blood, but that doesn't really help explain what's going on does it! [no help whatsoever emoticon]

I'm CD4 today so onwards and upwards. I think I've decided not to opk this month after all. I only see DP Friday to Monday anyway so all the opk's in the world won't really change the frequency with which we swi.

I'm going round and round in circles with this at the moment, can you tell?

Do you have OPK's CUP? Im not sure I would be able to resist, knowing they are in the cupboard.

I know it doesn't matter what I say but I really did not expect a positive this month for so many reasons. Maybe the trick is not to expect it? Thats why I thought maybe I shouldn't stay on the thread.

Morning everyone. I did a test this morning. I think it's positive. However, like an idiot, I can't find the leaflet with what the symbols mean

It was a Boots first response and it has a cross in the first window and a vertical line in the other (test?) window.

Like this:

I have spotted though that the test is out of date, it has 2010-12 stamped on wrapper

I showed dp This morn, he said there's no point thinking about it till we are sure. So buying some digitals today.

I feel all funny! Dp and I had a chat last night about ttc and we decided to hold fire until after the wedding. Now it looks like I might be pregnant. We also thought cos my fixed term contract ends in July it'd be best to get pg when I have a job to go back to

Please add me to the list? AF Nov 5, SWI very soon!

Goldenbrown, I feel the same as you! On month 5 now and I know it's not long but I don't think I anticipated how hard the ttc would be! I'm so impatient and I feel like everyday in counting something! (ie days to ovulation, days to period etc...) I'm sure everyone I know is pregnant also!! Oh well, I have my fingers crossed for everyone!! Xxx

ha sorry - I am 35 (eek!)

Ok I've just done a digi one - pregnant!!!

I can't believe it. We only SWI'd once

That means I didn't have a period after coming off the pill, does that make it harder to date?! Agghh!! Never been pregnant before, no idea what I'm meant to do now!

Congrats Cheeser! Yay v exciting. Well you get yourself to the midwife for a booking in appointment and try to figure out a due date. Yippee!

Congratulations cheeser that's great news.
Don't worry about dates, worse comes to the worst they'll send you for a scan

fish sorry if I made you feel you should leave the thread - I really didn't mean it like that. I just meant it's fab to have so many graduates already :)

Thanks MTNW and Kirrin! Exciting.

Felt a bit odd all day, maybe now i am more aware of stuff. Like tugging in my tummy, I've had a bit of a cough and when I cough too hard it twinges so I've been doing dainty lady coughs! Can't believe it. I honestly thought it would take a good few months (even when we were actually trying).

Now the question is, do we bring forward the wedding or go ahead when I'll be 6-7 months pregnant? Assuming all goes to plan, of course. I really wants to look nice on the day and I haven't even considered maternity wedding dresses...

Just think though Cheeser - you'll be all in the healthy glow stage where your hair and nails and skin are all shiny - lovely wedding material

Hi Peeps! It feels like I haven't been on here for aghes! How are you all?

Congratulations Cheeser!!

I have a question! I took my last pill on the 23rd October (SUNDAY) and had my withdrawal bleed on the Thursday. My (sorry if TMI) CM has been changing a fair bit over the last two weeks and recently I have felt kinda odd...hard to describe. Yesterday, I went to the loo and there was what seemed like EWCM but had a tiny spot of blood in it. A) Does that mean anything or is it just one of those things? And B) Is it possible that as it's my first month off the pill I could OV at any time?

So sorry it I'm not making sense! FYI, I had my normal week off the pill and had a bleed just a week before we made the decision for me to come off the pill. So when I came off I had only taken 8 pills...iyswim?!?!?!?

Help!!

Evening Ladies,

Sparkle this is my first cycle and after AF I started using Clear Blue OPK, just the one where you shove a new test stick in each day, I started CD6 and CD16 I had a smilie face. It was on Amazon around £27, cheapest I could fine 20 tests. Maybe worth a go before forking out on the big daddy?

I'm CD21 so waiting until the weekend to check.

Yorkshire which pill were you on? Is was on Noriday and AF turned up exactly on time but I know POP is different!

MMxx

I agree I'd try the normal OPK's before spending too much on the CB monitor. It took me 20 days but I did get a positive, bit obviously the positive was correct

Yorkshire I shouldn't have joined this thread really as I've never taken a pill so I'm absolutely no help whatsoever sorry!!

Minky I have no idea what kind of pill it was!! Can you help? It is called Yasmin and there were 21 pills in a packet (3 weeks) then I would have a week of no pills and then start a new pack 7 days later...

Hi

Cheeser Congratulations on you BFP.

Minky Are you going to test early or are you going to hold out and wait to see if AF turns up.
