    Can you cross me off the list. AF arrived today.

    Can you add me for testing on 7th May. Thanks.

    Congratulations Merfe :j:j:j

    So cycle day 1 of 3rd Cycle :( What cycles are you guys on? My friend tells me it's early days yet so not to get down about it. But it seems like a lifetime to me :o

    just want to say thanks to everyone for the congratulations, can just take it a day at a time for the minute, sometimes excited, sometimes worried, can only wait and see now.

    Sorry so many have just got AF, fingers crossed for next month x

    Well, on my 1st cycle, missed ov by 5 days, 2nd cycle missed ov by 4 days (in both cases too early). Then 2 months break because no access to OH (lives in different place), so this is my 3rd cycle:beer:.

    Never hit the ov window yet:wall:

    Congratulations Merfe. :beer: to a happy and healthy 8 months.

    Feisty - something you said in your post about it not being your time made me feel better. Not that you got AF which sucks but that every month it hasn't hasn't happened has just not meant to be. Thanks for that.

    OK. AF due on Wed. More EWCM last night so who knows what's going on. TMI alert : it's going creamy, EWCM, creamy, EWCM, creamy, EWCM, creamy, EWCM...and so on. I've gained weight but that's all about the yummy chocolate eggs I've been munching all month.

    Wishes for those Oving this weekend, hugs for those being visited by AF and big congrats again to Merfe and any other BFPs I've missed.

    AF has arrived today for me too as suspected :(. Since coming off the pill I have had cycle lengths of 34, 27, and now 25 days. No EWCM. Both AFs so far were only 2 days which seems really short???

    Anyway, 1st day of cycle 4 ttc...have spent 3 months not really trying to get preggers which hasn't worked so now we're going to try and be a bit more proactive. So, plan of action for cycle 4 is as follows...
    1) Start tracking BBT
    2) Start using OPK
    3) Try to drink more water
    4) Try to do the BD every couple of days
    5) Find out more about ways to improve my crappy CM (pre-seed, cough mix etc.) if no improvement this cycle.
    6) STOP SSing and dreaming about what colour to paint the nursery omg!

    Looking forward to a takeaway, a few glasses of wine, and a cuddle on the sofa tonight with DH.
    Enjoy rolling/eating you're eggs on Sunday:icotbaske. ttfn x

    You sound in the same boat as me. I'm at OV I think on CD19 but this time last month I came on if the cycle before that was a period. I've only had one proper AF since the pill so technically am starting now. I came off in either August or October (can't remember).

    Have talked to DH. Long way to go but have left him working to hopefully mean he can relax the rest of the week off. Hardest thing is that my BFF is 32 weeks PG and coming this week and I can't really tell her not to but it upsets me because she's in a position I'd love to be in and I know it's horrible to be so jealous...no envious.

    Onwards and upwards.

    SBDTA as I don't need any at the mo :(

    MERFE congratulations :j

    Sorry for everyone whos AF showed up :mad:

    Tinks hope you are keeping well.;)

    I just have a question still no AF for me, the last one I had was on 3rd March. I am wondering now if it just a reaction to coming off the pill??

    I stopped taking the mini pill on the 22nd February, AF showed up on 3rd March now nothing. Has anyone else experienced this? I have been really worked up looking this up as some sites are saying it AF might not show up for months/years while others are saying that women have fallen preggers straight away!

    HELP before I completely go round the bend LOL!

    Have a fab weekend everyone the weather is brilliant here (but still bl00dy freezing brrrr)! x
