here we are! ROll call Please!

Morning ladies, I had a late pudding as well NJ and very nice it was too. Teuch fingers crossed for you lets hope your dh's swimmers are a bit slow this month and the gof you had the day before will cover OV.

NJ have fun in the kitchen today wont you

Hi girls,

Not been on in ages so fraid am completely out of touch, but just feeling really broody today out of nowhere, so thought would pop my head in and say hi! Pill period would have come this weekend, so I'm keeping everything crossed that real AF comes to visit tomorrow.... Had crampy feelings on and off since I stopped the pill and have had hardly any CM/discharge - don't know if that is normal when stopping BC??!

Anyway, wondering if I am going to be able to hold out until December at this rate....

xx

Hey Cosmo...where you been?

So have you had a withdrawal bleed already? I would say that your cycle willprobably take a few months to settle so don't be too worried about symptom-spotting just yet!

Hmmmm, the question of whether you can wait 'til December is a tricky one...the evidenec on this thread would say NO!!

Hi Teuch,

Yep....December sure is a long way off, but who knows, maybe I will be patient enough - but the jury is definitely still out!
Yes, stopped pill had normal withdrawal bleed and then nothing since. This weekend would be when pill bleed would have come. TBH it would be nice for my cycle to get back to normal quickly but am not expecting it to.
Am curious as to whether I have ovulated to' because have had practically no visible CM and just weird cramping in tummy on and off. Only curious because of everyone saying you are super fertile when you first come off the pill...

MOrning all [waves to everybody]

LL, DD1 was back to back and got twisted and stuck, ended up with cuts and ventouse, 26 hours labour in total! DD2 was born at home, 4 hours of labour, 8 minutes pushing, so it can be done!

When I got the idea of a homebirth in to my head, I said right from the start that if DD2 was in a good position I'd give it a go at home, but if we had the slightest doubt that she might be turning back to back then I'd go to hosp, no messing about. Having a MW with me at home was great as she could keep a really close eye on us and would have spotted straight away if there was problem.

The other benefit was that I didn't have to spend any time away from home so was here for DD1 when she woke up the next day so less hassle for DH! Get your DH to read this and he may change his mind!

Thanks mo i will.

I hate to say it but I am feeling really moody and have stomach cramps, also feel really bloated. Basically feel like AF is coming early (not due until next saturday).

Hi COsmo, Moosma . Cosmo, it does take some women several months before their cylce gets back to normal. Having said that, by the time you ttc you will be such an expert at symptom-spotting. I suppose there's no chance you could be pregnant this month then??
Moos, I have to admit that you are a far better person than I with your motivation for birth place...one of the benefits of a hospital birth for me was getting a break from the dds , and no cooking, cleaning etc!! My dream is one of those 1950s maternity wards where they put the baby in the nursery so I can have a good night's sleep after the work of labour! Funny how they only have those types of facilities at places like the Portland . Yes, I am slack-mum . Like the idea of being tucked up in my own bed with newborn baby, but a bit about not getting much of a rest at home!

LL, is your cycle usually quite irregular? On a positive note, each time I've been pregnant I have had af cramps from when I ovulated until several weeks after I got a bfp - so it's it's a symptom of pregnancy for me!

I was on the pill before so that regulated my cycle, only stopped last month.. That is good to hear about your cramps etc, fingers crossed that all is not lost then!!!!!

Ah but I had my mum round 8-8 for 2 weeks after she was born so I didn't have to do much! It was just nice that even though I couldn't do much DD1 knew where I was (she was only 17.5 months at the time).

This time I have a dishwasher so it will be even easier!

afternoon ladies
cosmo girl
i stopped the pill jan 23rd
had lite 2 day withdrawal bleed jan 26th for 2 days
nothing since
on cycle day 49 today no sign of period coming either not moody and no cramps!!
have had forgetfullness,tingly breasts,waves of nausea, white and clear mucus

pink really pleased for you it sounds good.

cheers

Pinkgirl - that does sound very promising - hope you are one of those lucky ones who fall first month off the pill!

Diege - nah no chance will be prego - am sure of that Yep, hopefully by the time we start trying I will know my cycle inside out, upside down and will know exactly when I'm ovulating - well that is the plan anyway!

I'll pass six month job probation in August (all being well) .. so theoretically we could just go for it September/October time......eekkk, just can't make up my mind!!

Have just had a strange conversation with my mum (we're quite close) all about how we're going to afford our barn conversion etc, had a bit of a blub 'you've been grumpy with me' 'no, you've been grumpy with me' air-clearing type, and I really wanted to blurt out 'I want another baby!' but just about held it in.

Then I sat down to read the Mothercare catalogue with DD1 (it's her favourite thing and she's feeling a bit poorly) and she pointed at the little babies and said 'I want one' so I found the maternity section and showed the big tummies 'would you like me to have a big tummy like that?' I said, she replied 'with a baby in?' [big wide eyes]

Ooooooooooooooooh, I'm so excited, she's going to love her new little baby!

Aww bless Moosma - it is tough not to talk about it with RL people I find - esp close family and friends. I find it is often on the tip of my tongue but I manage not to say too much. Often I just talk around the subject 'yes we want kids one day....' as opposed to 'yes, I am off the pill, taking folic acid and logging onto mumsnet and celebrity baby blog daily'!!!

moosma are you TTc now sorry i get mixed up..

Cosmo, if only they knew eh
Moosma, that's very sweet of your dd . I've 'broached' the subject with my dds and they are very excited too! The older 2 know about the pregnanct vitamins I've been taking, and yesterday when I talked to dh about getting rid of the dds vits (they have some truly horrible omega 3 ones that are gaggable) dds 1&2 piped up, 'Noooo! What about our baby brother or sister????' . DD1 was very relived when I said I was still taking mine too!
dd3 is funny though - very jealous when I hold the baby annabel doll. She dragged it off me the other day saying to it 'no no no, MY mummy'

Not yet LL, but it's right at the front of my mind, all the time. You know how it is when you're excited about something it's all you can talk about, but it's a secret so you can't..... ARRRRGH, I think my brain might pop!

thanks all

We need to drag the list over from the old thread to keep track of who's starting when.

Ok, so I found the latest list on the old thread but it won't let me paste it think it is too long.....I'll wait for someone more tech savvy to come along and post it. When they do, could you change my starting month to Oct/Nov, please? Seeing it in black and white might help it sink in!
