Does desperate NEED to eat pastries for breakfast = PG?
If so, I've definitely graduated to the front of the bus.

AfuckingF arrived today, 2 days early :( I cried. A lot. At work! Urgh. Please someone tell me it's fine and normal and I've only been off the pill for one month and please reassure me that I won't be like my BS and take over 2 years to get PG...

MinkyMoodles · 22/11/2011 11:06

Oh Frilly don't cry. You are 100% normal! (except the obsessive flashing Wink) I was in the same place last week. Once you get to grips with AF being here, you'll get your head round it and feel better.
I think we must have come off the pill at the same time ish! You have age on your side!
I felt so sick that I was sure I was upduffed!! Hormones have a lot to answer for!

Sorry AF got you Frilly, me too (updated below) and although I didn't cry i was so miserable at work all day, just felt bereft. But Minky is right once you get to grips with it you can think positive about the next month. And don't they say your chances increase month on month?!

I came off the pill two months ago and was hoping it would happen soon as but no such luck, despite vigorous SWI! We're also hoping to move next spring which depends on me going on maternity leave otherwise we'll have to move once my 4 year old starts school so I'm feeling the pressure. eek.

Oh no Sad AF has arrived! It's only day 18 after my withdrawal bleed since coming off the pill last month. Oh god, gutted already - this is how the madness and obsession begins right?

I've popped myself on here... really have no idea when AF is going to show up, because I don't feel PMTish at all. This cycle has been 48 days now, but had BFNs at the weekend.

Any ideas?

Tea We'll have to compare notes about when our cycles eventually settle down.

cherrypiew3 · 22/11/2011 21:57

Frilly Don't cry AF showed up early for me also I was not happy. But like everyone said once she goes you will feel better. Wishing you lots of luck for next month.

Maketea AF was 5 days early for me this month was also my first month TTC after coming off the pill, so going to put it down to my body settling down. How will you predict when AF should show up next month? Not sure if I should go with my normal cycle of 32/33 days or go with 28 days like this one was.

Seems like AF has been really busy as she showed up at my house first thing this morning She was 2 days late too - trying to trick me into thinking she wasn't coming.
