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

Welcome Dame

Kirrin I feel the same don't think this month is going to be my month but like you said maybe next month.

Minky have you decided which day you will be POAS.

Evening ladies,

Well I've been a teary mess so it's not looking great eh? This early afternoon sickness is doing my head in :(

Cherry I'm trying to hold off until Saturday at the earliest, but I kind of think it'll be a BFN. My POAS addiction is becoming rather a nightmare!!

How's about you? Are you waiting until 16th??

Welcome Dame we're a crazy bunch, but I'm sure you'll have fun, grab a seat

Well I've started my Christmas shopping, yay! I will be organised, I must :(

I'm making some Christmas cakes to give as pressies but that's about my limit!!

MM xx

I have started my Christmas shopping today too! The majority will be done on black Friday but I am getting my niece and nephew those little kid tough digital cameras so to Amazon I go for those!! I'm trying not to buy any baby stuff til after Christmas when I am past the 12 week mark, but that 50% off Graco car seat is calling my name!!!!

Well I decided I couldn't wait any longer so I got the First Responce out, oooh guess what, a big fat no :(
Grrr I wish I had more patience!
Think I'll wait to see if AF shows up!
MM xx

Minky It may just be to early to test fingers x that AF does not show up.

Kirrin how are you doing are you holding out?

I am really really wanting to POAS but trying to wait for now.

Secret If it was a few days ago when you tested then I would test again.

If your AF is a couple of days late I would test again. Took me 5 days after AF was due to get a very very faint positive so be prepared for a possible BFN as it maybe too early to detect anything. Good luck x

Sparkle go for it. Especially if tummy isnt feeling AF crampy!

Cherry have you got a stick to p*$$ on to hand? Go on, for me

I would like to fast forward one week, just to see if my AF turns up! My tum feels odd and too early for AF cramps, here's hoping I'm not imagining things!!

MM xx

Hmph, not a happy bun today!

I have a kidney infection AND AF arrived this morning!!

Didnt think I was pregnant (despite my previous posts saying I had been feeling sick etc, which was true but prob just period pains etc) but I was still hoping sooooo much and just feel deflated. Kidney infection isnt helping either!!

Ah well, at least my cycle seems to be back to its regular 28 days so we'll just have to keep trying for next time!!

xx

3 :( hope you feel better soon.

secret I'd be testing 3 times a day again if I was you

I have managed not to poas yet, which isn't much of an achievement as af isn't due til about Tuesday and I'm not holding out much hope anyway. I haven't burst into tears over nothing today so that's good :)

Fingers crossed for everybody. I had forgotten how frustrating this ttc malarky is :)

I just bought 3 more tests to make sure nothing has happened and I'm not imagining things. These weird cramps are throwing me off big time. Hope everyone has a good day

Evening all. Hope everyone is set up for a relaxing/exciting weekend*

I'm sort of vaguely intending to give the flat a clean before braving the rush hour over to DP's (or my place in the country, as I prefer to think of it ). Then again, I might just sit on the sofa for another hour....

AF about done for this month. I'll be CD 10 Monday so I might just poas (opk) for shits and giggles....

*Delete as appropriate

Hello ladies glad to hear your all doing ok and seem to be getting in lots of swi

I had my midwife app today and got an edd of 28th June and a scan booked. Very exciting!!!

Also glad to hear others are getting excited about Christmas I can't wait and am currently humming some Christmas classics as I type

Oh and ps - cup: if your going out then there is no need to clean!!!

That wasn't selfish at all!! everyone is here to listen and to talk about others experiences!!!

Well my last period was 31st august but i think I'm only 5-6 weeks so me and midwife settled on middle ground but will most likely change once I have dating scan. She was great though and said I know best but didn't want to leave it too late incase there is a problem and I actually am further on!!

It's awful getting bfn though isn't it, esp when you see the words "not pregnant" staring you in the face! But it will happen and you sound to be helping it along as best you can with no booze ect...! Fingers crossed for your very soon bfp!!

secret I admire your willpower, and FWIW I think you are doing the right thing. Getting a bfn is so disappointing, so waiting a day or two more can't hurt and testing every day may just mean more disappointments before you get your bfp. I wouldn't be able to help myself though

clandy a friend of mine was ttc but hadn't had af since her son was born. Started feeling a bit sick so did a test and got a bfp and of course had no idea of her dates but had got morning sickness first time round quite early, so thought she was probably about 5-6 weeks. They sent her for a scan and she was 14 weeks
I was so sick last time, I would love to get to 14 weeks and not know, but with my poas addiction there is no chance of that happening :)

I've just got DD to sleep, so now I'm heading downstairs for some tea, and some Telly - DP is at work so I can watch whatever I like :)

Haha! Hoping they don't say that to me!!! I am currently lying in bed after throwing up tonights tea was hoping this wouldn't happen- maybe that my body would be used to pregnancy or something!! No such luck

I'm just so exhausted, it's really getting to me. I've never minded working the early shift before but the last week and a half has just been hard. Not feeling any sickness yet.

Pants on the BFN but sounds like you're going to have a nice day!

Clandy won't it be exciting to go for your scan

I have a doc appt next Wednesday but it's just to confirm the pregnancy (yay more peeing on sticks ) then I get to go apply for free healthcare since I'm pregnant. So I wont have a "real" appointment yet for at least another 2 weeks. I am planing to tell them last AF was oct 15, which will put conception date at the 29, which it was. I think my due date will be the 21st July.

I would love if someone could update the list with regard to where we all are, I want to know who still has a chance this month and when some others can resume the SWI

It's freezing here so I'm trying to warm up with a bath before work..except the hot water ran out quickly so off I go.

Yorkshire, Vino, Cup how are you guys doing?

Well that's me out for this month AF showed up late last night.
I am ok about it though just normally have a 32/33 day cycle checked my diary and AF should of been due 14/15th not the 16th like I thought but that still makes AF 4 days early. So what do I do about next months cycle do I go with a 32/33 day cycle still or 29 days which this one was. I really have no idea what I am doing.

Secret sorry it was a BFN

Minky and Kirrin How are you ladies doing?

Sorry secret :( - but it's not over yet....

fish I was exhausted first time round, I did nothing but work and sleep for about the first 10 weeks or so, but after that it was fine again, so hang in there - and it's all for a good cause :)

cherry forgive me, I lose track a bit on this thread it moves so fast - are you using opks? I'm not really sure of my cycle length either so I started testing as though it was 28 days and just kept going - got a positive much later than expected so it will actually be about 34 days. Next month I shall do the same. Costs a lot in opks but is better than missing it without opks I'd have no idea!

I think I'm out for this month too. Af is due soon and I feel like it's definitely on it's way :(
