Thanks lou! It's lovely to see you all again!

Have I missed any exciting news here anyway while I've been away?

For you Bobo

Holy fuck, I think that's actually a second line.

That is most definitely a second line!!! Congratulations 🎉🍼🎉 😄😄😄 aren't you glad you listened to my wise words and tested again tonight haha 😉

I will update the list tomorrow!! I need my laptop and notepad and I'm out for the evening 😊 Xxx

Oh wow!! Congrats marmite!!! xxxx

Just checked in- WOW marmite doll!! Amaaaazing lines!! Congrats lovely!! You seem to calm ha! I don't think I'd be able to construct a readable post if/when I ever get a bfp lol! Woop!

Aw my scan went ok Bobo! The woman was quite abrupt though. She like 'right doll- trousers down, lie down, lift top.' Then 'that's you, wipe gel, toilet, leave' I asked if she seen anything and she said 'can't disclose doll, phone your gp and book an appointment when you're home'. So I've booked an appointment for a week on Monday! Not sure if I'm wanting it to show something or not! (At least then I'll feel like I have an explanation as to why I'm in pain/not conceiving!). Haha you do make me laugh!! I swear to bloody god that thought ran through my mind 'oh I wonder if I'll be one of those people who are secretly about to give birth and they'll find a wee hidden bambino in there' sadly not! How's you anyhoos Bobo? Any sign of your ovaries gearing up for action?

How's all my tww'ers feeling? I'm starting my ICs tomorrow probably so much for cold turkey xx

Hi girls.
Hope everything is ok with all of you. I am so sorry I haven't been posting I have been lurking and looking out for you all.
Congrats too all of yous who have the magical second line! And to those still trying it will happen and I wish you all the best luck in the world.
Just thought I'd update to say I'm currently 20 weeks now and we're expecting a little girl 💗💞
I absolutely adored and loved all your help and support when we were trying to conceive on them dark gloomy winter nights when I had come on this group was amazing for cheering me up. You are all beautiful people and one day soon you will make Amazing mams! XXXX

Aw Chapman, it is so so lovely to hear from you! I've missed you! Wow, a little girl- amazing news! You and Dh must be over the moon. You were one of the originals that kept me sane over winter too! Have you heard from Sunny? Miss you girls! Hopefully we'll be joining you on the preggo list too & I hope you're having (and continue to have) and lovely pregnancy Mrs xxx

I know cookie! I've been so busy. Actually fuck that I've been so tired and fat and I've just had a really exhausting pregnancy... Was not in the mood at all! Yes I speak to sunny we sometimes comment on the antenatal thread!
I know tell me about it! They were awful I thought it would never happen! I hope your ok babe.. How are you getting on? Yes me and DH over the moon just so glad baby is healthy and everything is ok! Can't believe how quick it's gone! You best bloody well had and all the rest of you we need more girl power 😍😍 xxxx

So lovely to hear from you chapman! So happy to see your having a beautiful little girl. How lovely. This thread is brilliant for keeping us all in check. Hopefully marmite has started the BFP's rolling in!

Cookie I am glad your scan went okay, hopefully it doesn't feel like too long a wait for your GP appointment!

Thanks guys, haha yes Bobo!

Cookie I am not calm AT ALL! I basically sat on the bathroom floor freaking out thinking 'oh fuck' for 15 minutes after I got that Frer second line. I know it sounds silly but I just didn't expect anything to happen yet, it's only cycle 3!
Sounds like an erm, interesting, scan experience Cookie!

So glad to hear all going well with your pregnancy chapman, you'd not long got your bfp when I first started reading this thread!

Fx that the bfps come in flurries now!

Huge congratulations marmite girlie! So happy for you xx

Congratulations marmite !!

Thanks guys (still feeling totally freaked out) meeting a friend for dinner tonight and already thinking what's my story going to be for not drinking.

Congratulations marmite! x

Congrats Marmite! How exciting!! Bet you wanted to do another test this morning didn't you! Just to see it again!

Haha I did another two actually Luci . Still kinda (totally) in denial though. I booked a GP appointment this morning, I guess that's what I'm supposed to do?! I actually have no idea! Felt so prepared and armed with knowledge for TTC but not at all for this bit!

Haha! How lovely! Yep off to the GP you go! Congrats again xx

I'm day 5 off of cerazette today, had a slight back ache and full tummy ache for about 15 mins. Then when I went to the toilet a couple of hours later there was some brownish discharge in my knickers, and red spot when I wiped. So guess that is my withdrawal spotting/bleed. If it carries on for a day or two, do I count that as cd1?

Cookie - it's soo annoying when they make you wait to see a gp before telling you what they were literally just looking at.. like a second ago... right in front of you haha glad it's not just me that dreams of a hidden bambino popping up.. or out! I'm good thanks lovely cm is turning watery and ovaries were a little achey today so fx ov is on its way even earlier than last cycle I'm feeling nice and positive this cycle so we'll see how long that lasts haha!

CHAPMAN!!!!!!!!! Sooooo good to hear from you my dear! Congratulations on little miss Chapman I'm so happy for you and can't believe its been 20 weeks.. like seriously where the hell did all that time go I swear we wish our lives away while ttc trying to skip all the time in between testing days!

Marmite - I think I would be the same when I eventually get a bfp! Try and relax and enjoy it :) We want that bean all chilled and cosy in there

Luci - Sounds like withdrawal so count the first day of spotting as Cd1! and welcome to cycle 1 fx you wont need a cycle 2

Baby dust too all you scrumptious lovelies! We will be mummys soon

I've been a bit of a lurker but have decided to join in for a bit of support. Me and DH haven't told anyone we're trying so support is somewhat limited!

I came off the pill early June, had a withdrawal bleed followed by 31 day cycle, then a 26 day cycle. Currently on day 7 of this cycle and keeping fx it's the last one!

Has anyone else found that their periods are lighter and shorter than expected since stopping the pill? It's hard for me to judge because I'd been on it for 12 years, went on as a teenager because of heavy periods and bad period pains, and never came off!

Updated list - sorry if I missed anything!

Our current twwer's are:
Cookie, Lou, Claire and Jj so everyone keep our fx for them

Ahh I knew I should have checked for new messages before posting the updated list!

Welcome Looby ! I will add you on the next update as our list is getting a bit long and takes up a lot of space! My periods used to last 7 days as a teenager and now post pill they are 4-5 days so definitely a difference for me! Maybe its normal for them to change with age??

I think we should have a little list review! People on the list below if you lurking can you just let me know and I will leave you on the list I don't want to remove anyone by accident

Welcome Looby!

When I came off my pill my periods were very short - like 2 or 3 days, but just this last cycle they've got heavier and longer and more 'normal'. I guess everyone is different!

Glad you are feeling positive bobo, thank you for the updated list . Fx this is another short cycle for you!

I haven't got any 'symptoms' yet. I can feel one boob starting to get sore tho just like before AF, but this could also be a pg sign couldn't it? Also had some left side pains earlier but that's gone now xxx

Ok so I count this as cycle 1 😁😁

So how do I know when I am going to ovulate, if I do. Do you go on the thought that I will be a 28 day cycle even though it could be a lot longer?

Or do I symptom spot for ov? Got some cheap tests so could start doing those to try and figure it out...

Sorry for all the questions, Cycle 1 is hard as I'm going in completely blind!! Excited to finally start this journey though 😁

Sore boobs are a pg sign Lou so could be good 😄 When will you test?

Luci ask as many questions as you like 😄 We were all new to ttc at some point!
Cycle 1 is total guess work I'm afraid! You could have a nice 28 day cycle or you could have a 76 day cycle like me 😩 Best thing to do is keep an eye on your cm more than anything. If it changes to watery and clear start using the opks! Also if you get any pains in the ovary region you can do a couple opks to see how your getting on!
You can also dtd every 2-3 days to try and catch ov but if it's a long cycle you might get fed up! Xxx

Fx it's a nice normal cycle for you my sweet xxx
