This is a GREAT idea! To journal our journeys! Ok, I'll start from the start.

February 2007 we were married and decided to try in August '07. We agreed to go off the pill in about April. On Mother's day, in May, my husband said he wanted to start trying now instead of waiting until August. Much to my delight! He calls it "not not trying". We're going to take it easy for now and then if August hits and we're not pregnant we'll try a little harder. (but yay for practising!)

So we started trying straight away! So here's the low down on where we are now.

April 9 was the first day of my last period, and I'm still waiting for AF! I've tested twice and both were BFNs!

So here's my chart at the moment!



Shockingly long, I know! C'mon AF!

Your first dose of baby dust for your journal

Oooo thankyou! I'll take all I can get!

It isnt uncommon to have a long cycle after coming off the pill, heres hoping she shows up soon for you.

She's here! Woohoo!

Here's hoping for a normal cycle, and maybe even a BFP!

Ugh, I spent 10 days wishing for AF, now she's here and I'm MISERABLE! The cramps are SO much worse than on the pill. And the clots.... errrggggh! TMI, sorry but its like giving birth to tiny little babies. :P

I know .. I was the same when I came off the pill. Was ok when i was on it, very light and not much cramping and then when i came off it hit with full force. Has calmed down loads now .. in fact last af was only 2 days! It will be all worth it in the end though.

^ Ooo 2 days? It could have been implantation bleeding!

The cramps have eased off today. They're not gone but at least they're not as 'sharp' as yesterday. I'm hoping I don't get some marathon period... here's hoping for it to be over and done with nice and quick! No more than 7 days, pleeeeeeease! Did you find it lasted longer than normal? Or after the long cycle were you pretty much regular again?

Sshhh dont get my hopes up .. lol. Was 7 days late with the last af and then had 2 days and then 1 day of spotting and that was it. Dont have any symptoms of anything though so think it may just have been the stress of the wedding.

Yea i think i had one or maybe two bad cycles after coming off the pill but then they settled down really quickly. Now I am fine .. regular as clockwork most of the time and not overly heavy or painful (apart from when the witch turns up in the middle of the night!!)

Hope it settles down for you soon hun
