So a slightly lighter and less scary thread for those who are chucking away the pills and the condoms and hoping for the best!

Congrats ljg.
Trying to decide if I feel pre-menstrual or pregnant...hmm or maybe just slightly unhinged! Frakkin you still got that face slapping wet kipper about, think I need it

takethatlady · 12/05/2010 10:11

Slap slap slap fuzzywood. Easy for me to say, on day 33 and feeling neither premenstrual nor pregnant....

Fuzzywood · 12/05/2010 10:43

Thanks Takethat I don't feel anything either which is making me feel hopeful but I don't want to be disappointed again trying failing to not think about it. Avoiding any shop that might have any sticks to p on!

PinkFondantFancy · 12/05/2010 15:07

I need that face-slapping kipper too please - for the last couple of weeks I've been feeling super thirsty (drinking 8-10 pints of water a day!) and feeling sick and emotional. If I was on a 28 day cycle (don't know how long it really is, as my last period was the first proper one since finishing the pill and that took 6 weeks to rock up), I'd be due today but BFN! All this symptom spotting drives you crazy!!!

Congratulations ljg! And I hope Saturday is brilliant Brassica

takethatlady · 13/05/2010 08:11

Oh fuzzy, I slapped you but then I went and POAS anyway. Decided the cheapies weren't telling me the truth, bought a Clearblue. Not pregnant. I am a big kipper-waving hypocrite...

Fuzzywood · 13/05/2010 10:34

sorry to hear about the bfn Takethat, glass half full... more shagging for you for next month. Am still holding out on the POAS, man the wait is driving me crazy

vallinnapod · 13/05/2010 10:57

CD45 party people...GRRR!

On the plus side I drank loads of lovely wine last week for our anniversary and it's my birthday tomorrow so lots more wine and surfing (and frost-bite!)

See you back here for a party to commiserate CD50?!

PinkFondantFancy · 13/05/2010 12:21

Don't panic vallinna but I know exactly how you feel - hadn't been so excited about my period arriving after the pill since I was 14!!! Surfing sounds great, are you going to Cornwall or somewhere more exotic?

BrassicaBabe · 13/05/2010 14:34

Rats, rats, rats! AF has arrived 5 days later than usual and 2 days before the wedding! Deep joy!

Although I'm hoping that some serious JSing and sunshine on honeymoon with get my cycles more regular...

ljg72 · 13/05/2010 18:41

Bugger!!!! at least you can look forward to relaxing, enjoying the sunshine...and LOADS of JS!!!!!!! result!.
Have a lovely day on Saturday

takethatlady · 13/05/2010 19:19

[beginning to smell a bit fishy with all these kipper-slaps going around]

AF arrived. Woohoo! Yours will come soon enough vallinna. Mine arrived in style - was going to London for a meeting, went to the loo in King's Cross station and realised AF was here, went and put some money in the machine to get lillets or whatever they are, only to bump into my boss. Couldn't get the machine to release the damn things, and my boss had to go and get an attendant to help me. Then I was too embarrassed to go back into the loo while she waited for me so had to go across London with her knowing I had started my period but hadn't sorted myself out. I hate Bridget Jones but some days I bloody well feel like her.

Brassica a couple of days into the honeymoon and you'll be shagging like a queen - have a brilliant day on Saturday, btw.

New cycle here I come!

30andMerkin · 14/05/2010 11:58

"Dum dum de dum, Dum dum de dum....." That's for you Brassica, hope you're having a lovely day today and getting all excited!

for vallinnapod - very jealous of the surfing!

Takethatlady can't believe you did that!

Have a good weekend rest of you!

FrakkedUpTheElection · 14/05/2010 13:36

Where are you going on honeymoon Brassica?! Enjoy the wedding!

Poor you, takethat - I'd probably have died of embarassment on the spot...

milanomum · 14/05/2010 15:47

Brassica - hope tomorrow is just as you want it! Dh has recovered from terrible man illness slight bug so... bring it on!

milanomum · 14/05/2010 15:48

doh... terriblemanillness

Fuzzywood · 14/05/2010 17:38

.

Have a wonderful day tomorrow Brassica x

BrassicaBabe · 14/05/2010 23:42

Last post before I'm off for a while. I'm all primped and preened now. Although I have wondered how Fetility Doctor on my return might feel about my serious Brazillian !!!

Maybe some BFPs in my absence?!

Wishing you all joyful and mental-free JSing. Back in 10 day. Hope I've got some serious news to catch up on when I next stop by.

NewMrsCharles · 15/05/2010 01:02

Can I join to please?

We have talked about it alot and now the last of my non mum friends has called us to see them and made the announcment we feel like its time!

Hubby wants to go for the 'let just carry on shapping and see what happens'

Which I think is amazing except the fact that I have make a 'proper' appointment to get my coil out and come on first!

Just realised I have not come on in 6 years so might be the scariest thing that has happended to me in the long time!!

I think im going to need you x

FrakkedUpTheElection · 15/05/2010 11:45

Welcome NMC!

Anyone due to test while Brassica's away shagging?

Fuzzywood · 15/05/2010 12:15

Did test yesterday......drum roll please. BFP! Yay!
Early days so trying to not get too excited but yay anyway!

FrakkedUpTheElection · 15/05/2010 13:44

Yay Fuzzy!!!

Am v pleased for you! I wondered whether you were taking the whole watching-what-you-eat-when-TTC to extremes. Glad to see you're just being sensible.

Fuzzywood · 15/05/2010 14:11

Thanks Frakkin
Made the most of being able to eat runny eggs and drink wine whilst TTCing, suppose I ought to be sensible now! Think you've got the right idea though, taking a relaxed approach seems to work best. Fingers crossed for everyone this month. I'm sure this is a lucky thread.

ljg72 · 15/05/2010 22:18

Yippeeee FUZZY!!!! congrats

Miffles · 15/05/2010 23:27

Hi All,
Would love to join you, as am TTC for the first time.
I came off the pill Jan 10 after 4 years, but as yet my periods have been so irregular - 16 or 18 day cycles. I hear this makes it not possible to conceive. Has anyone any words of comfort? Feel like there's not much point SWI until my body has settled....
Thanks x

takethatlady · 16/05/2010 19:52

Hi there NewMrs and Miffles, and welcome! I have no idea about 16-18 day cycles - have you been to the doctor? My guess would be if you're ovulating, you can get pg ... but I don't actually know...

fuzzy WOOHOO!!! Congrats! That is SO exciting - the first BFP I've seen since i've been here and it gives me hope! Hope you hang around on here still

Weddings and BFPs in one weekend - it's too exciting! AF has gone for me, so it's back to JSing!
