Thought I'd start one of these rather than posting a new topic in the TTC forums every time I have a wishful thinking moment!

I've been keeping a simple diary of my own since CD4, so I'll copy what I've got from there into here!

7/4/08 CD4:
1st day officially off BCP! Monthly cycle still to be worked out. Was 28days on pill, but will no doubt be all over the place now! Not going to rely on just BD the days I'm due to ovulate though. I reckon just doing it as much as possible is the way forward. Bring on tonight!

8/4/08 CD5:
No BD last night. OH managed to whack his knackers off a chair. Silly man. He's promised me he'll give it a go tonight though, so all is not lost. I really want to get started. I'm going to start checking CM, even though I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for! All I know is I should have EWCM around ovulation. We'll see how I get on.

9/4/08 CD6:
BD last night CM whitish and scanty. Skin breaking out - presumably a side effect from coming off the pill. Really sore throat today, hopefully not coming down with a cold. It's not the best time to be unwell! Hopefully will BD again tonight. Also looking into vitamins to take. Folic acid for sure. Ordered cheapy HPT from babymad today, they should arrive tomorrow with any luck. £5.99 for 25. So much cheaper than the shop!

10/4/08 CD7:
HPT arrived this morning - they're tiny! And for some reason, I decided to pee on one even though I'm clearly not PG POAS addict already! I've noticed that my bbs are really veiny though. Very odd. No BD last night. CM creamy whitish/clear

11/4/08 CD8:
The HPT I took yesterday morning came back with a very very faint positive. I'm thinking evap. Will take another in a couple of days just incase! Have had no BD since the 8th. Will pounce on OH tonight CM to be checked later on.
Oh - Started taking 'Pregnacare' a couple of days ago. Contains folic acid and lots of other important vits. Want to be nice and healthy for my bub.

12/4/08 CD9:
BD last night and this morning. Bought some evening primrose capsules yesterday to help my CM along. They're the biggest capsules ever! CM yesterday white and creamy. Found in knickers, so fairly abundant! (sorry, tmi!) Will check today's later on. HPT BFN today. No surprise there! Having very vivid dreams - one last night about being pregnant. No other symptoms, except some light cramping in the evenings. Creamy white CM in knickers again today.

13/4/08 CD10:
BD this morning. Taking evening primrose and pregnacare. Strange taste at the back of my throat today. I'm sure I'm just imagining it though. CM creamy white again.

14/4/08 CD11:
No BD last night - was far too tired! Went to bed about 11, yet couldn't sleep til 12:30. Lay in bed til about 12 today Mega tired. CM still to be checked. Will do later on. Having strange niggling feeling in left side last night and today. Back and tops of legs achy - but I'm putting that down to playing with OH's cousin's wee boy yesterday. More vivid dreams last night, though I now can't remember what they were about. Hmm.

Hey Monkeh

Great start to your journal lovely.

Hoping to see a BFP in there soon xxx

Hey Monkeh

Good luck on your TTC journey - hope you get a nice swift

xx luv Nic

My bbs are really sore tonight. My bra was killing me! Felt like the underwire was digging into the side of my bbs. Ouchies. They've been released from their harness now though, and, besides from being slightly achy, they're doing much better

CM not creamy, but not EW either. Can't think of anything to liken the consistency to! Not particularly abundant today either.

Also I'm feeling a bit sore from all the BD-ing at the weekend. Not used to that much!

lol, ahh welcome to the land of BD!

Good to see you in the journal section,

Good luck

15/4/08 CD12:
Was fast asleep til 11am this morning The phone woke me up. OH has got a cancellation appointment on the 28th April for his knee surgery Yayyyy! It was going to be the 16h of June originally!
We were also viewing flats last night, and we think we've found the perfect one. Advertised at 1 bedroom, but it has a room too small to be classed as a bedroom, which would be perfect for a little bub. Strangely has a window in it, which looks through to the main bedroom, so, that could be quite handy actually! Also has a catflap and a nice garden, so my moggy could stay with us (though OH is convinced my cat is too fat for the cat flap!)

My shoulders are quite sore this morning. They were achy last night, but I thought a good night's sleep would ease them a bit. Apparently not. Ah well. Strange dreams last night too. Was pregnant, and in some sort of crazy classroom, where I wrote some poetry, which I then refused to read out to the class, so the teacher made me sing 'what I've been looking for' from High School Musical. Oh, I have such strange dreams! Will check CM later on.

Aww hun, what a sweet post!
Your flat sounds lovely, and that little room sounds perfect for a LO,
I hope your dreams come true soon

Thanks

OH is phoning up the letting agency today to register our interest! Also making a couple of enquiries about the flat, then we just have to decide whether we're definitely going for it, and get the deposit together

I have an interview this afternoon for a job at ASDA lol. Fingers crossed for me! I'm thrilled at the prospect of getting 10% staff discount on tests and baby stuff!

Good luck in your interview xx

Urgh, mega headache this afternoon! I think it's due to the fact it's actually sunny here for a change, and it has been shining in my eyes.

CM creamy and abundant today. Still taking my vits like a good girl
