Hello there, well......urmmmm....the post arrived...I did a test, one of those cheapy ebay sensitive tests and there was a faint line. I consulted with DH and he said there was a line as well, very faint but it was there.
A line is a line isn't it?????
I'm going to do another test in the morning just to make sure I'm not hallucinating. Although surely DH would not share my hallucination.
Chalky Sorry about AF's arrival!!!
Deliriouscow Welcome on board, I came off the pill earlier this year and this thread has been a fab find. I have to say though that spending four hours on MN is probably quite a productive use of your time, think of all the valuable research you've done. Ooooo I love new people on the thread!!!
Bunny Oooooo I forgot you were in Australia, I tell you what I would love some sunshine after all the snow we've had round these parts. I hope you have some a good relaxing few months.
Ariesgirl You don't have to give up caffine, two to three cups a day is fine. I thought I would have the give up the dreaded drink, but fortunatly it's fine. Also stats wise, TTC#1 means that you're trying to conceive baby no.1. CD means cycle day, this is counted from the first day of your period. So if you started today, that would be Cycle day 1. UCL means usual cycle length, that means on average how long your cycle is. BFP means Big Fat Positive or a positive pregnancy test. Also AF means Aunt Flo otherwise known as the dreaded monthly visitor. BD means baby dancing which is short for sex. Hope this helps and you're not a dumbass, we've all been new at some point. For the first few days i kept the acronyms page open in a separate window until I got savy.
Picklepants Welcome to the thread, to put your mind at ease the first week I came off the pill I was a walking hormone of hormonalness. It's just your body getting itself back together. Don't be surprised if you swing from despair to all out happiness in the space of a couple of minutes. I managed that one quite a few times. Also I'm not learning to drive at the moment, I'm doing a driving skills course which aims to brush up on your already existing skills (and build your confidence which I sorely lack in). I'm learning stuff like how to position for bends, reading the road ahead, LOADS of work on observation and having a driving plan. It's really good as it's helping me build up my confidence in my abilities to actually drive a car. You do a test and get a certificate at the end. But, to put your mind at ease, I passed my test eight months ago on the fifth time and was a nervous wreck the whole way through the entire process. I will never ever say that learning to drive is easy, just take your time about it. If you have a good instructor you will be fine. Do lots of practice and get someone with LOTS of paitence to take you out.
Pidgin Good luck with whatever ambush type plans you have, LOL at briding your DH. Chocolate always seems to work with mine as well.
Claire You were 'ravished' eh??? I wish someone would ravish me. I bet you smiled all the way into town though didn't you!!!
Seablue I still can't get over the rectal antibiotic, I bet it was a man who invented that procedure.
I'm sorry this is a long post, I'm a little shocked and have been staring at the computer screen for the past half an hour trying to make sence of the world. All the while DH has been talking to me about the gas bill. Does he not realise the world may have turned upside down and inside out???
At least he made me a cup of tea.
