  • Ooh a lovely new thread, thanks QQ :)
    lily and razwaz I'm so excited for you both! I think they're tlps not evaps :D see a new thread is going to be good for us again, hopefully I can pick up some of its luck this time :)
    I had a beautiful dream about being pregnant last night which has made me feel happy today- I think it'll come true this year
    atton, good luck with your course, sounds like things are looking up for you
    Have a great weekend ladies :)

    Good Morning ladies.

    Raz - That sounds VERY promising :D

    QQ - Lovely new thread :)

    Unfortunately, I don't think I will be adding to the BFP list anytime soon. BFN on a digi this morning. I was starting to get a little bit hopeful last night - my lp has never been this long - but it looks to me like soy has had an effect. *sigh* I feel a bit deflated.

    :j:j Shiny new thread :j:j

    Big thank you to QQ for all your hard work trying to keep us all in line :D

    Fingers crossed for a confirmed TLP with FMU razwaz.

    Big hugs for BFN on a digi Lilymay :A Soy worked for 2b and tattoo tho, but gave both of them incredibly long cycles. Maybe it has lengthened your cycle and a BFP is still to come :think:

    Lemonmelon - Fingers crossed your dream is a sign for this cycle :cool:

    JojoB - How are you feeling today? I keep thinking of you :A

    Hope the new thread brings out a bumper crop of BFP's.

    I have no idea where I am in my cycle. I thought I might be able to pinpoint ov from CM, but am just not sure and don't want to stick a pin in it just yet (and think I ov'd too early and therefore want to be testing). Am sure my cycles will still be erratic. Am trying to BD regular, but then theres that little voice which says you could be doing more. This "relaxed" approach is more stressful than I first thought :rotfl::rotfl:
    :love: Married my lobster in July 2011 :love:

    TTC # 2 since Oct 2011 - good things come to those who wait :o

    :dance: 2013 is going to be our lucky year :dance:

    Big hugs to lilymay, I do hope the digi is wrong though x x

    Exciting news RazWaz,although when you said you got a third line I thought 'well that test is definitely messed up, I'd speak to the manufacturer' before I realised what you actually meant lol

    Yay for new thread, hope it's the last one I see x x
