ginvtz - fingers crossed for you. I believe in silly little things like that lol. I always used to see a car with a licence plate that ended in BFP and get all excited lol.

Good to hear I am not the only one! I am in general 'number-crazy' - I have studied maths and love numbers. I have spreadsheets with all the AF dates, OV dates, possible EDDs, when would I take maternity leave and would have to come back to work afterwards!!!

Good luck with that one. Last time one of mine cut my neck with his claws. you can imagine the look of horror on the vets face telling me i had blood down my neck looool. He howls from the moment the car moves. Hes fine at the vet lol. You can imagine the fun i had having two of them with cat flu when i brought them eeeek.

Our cat starts the concert as soon s he is put in the carrier. We have one that opens on the top, so it is not that bad to put him in and take him out (even vet was impressed by our carrier). He was checked out and was declared very healthy. OH was convinced our cat is overweight (he is about 5.6kg), but as he is a bit tall, he is fine. Vet said he is very lean! That shut up OH - but his comment was "with parents like us (both 'obesse')..." He is curled up on my lap now and I am trying to use my laptop - one of my arms is trapped under and he would not move or care#1

Ginvzt, as AF is here, I have fingers, arms, legs toes and everything else I can think of to wish you luck.

Than you all. I hope all you wishes will come through, but I have to stop my mind going off wondering. I am CD25, 13DPO. I am not sure when to expect the AF - I am 'prepared to greet it' anytime starting tomorrow for about the week. The Clomid cycles all varied in length, but then I am sure I have ovulated on CD 12 this time, so how ling my luteal phase can last?

Morning everyone

Well I'm out for this month AF is definitely on the way and should start properly some time next week. Not too disheartened though as my Persona didn't show ov this month which I think may have been because I stopped taking agnus castus to give the maca root a chance and also means that I can finally have my hycosy test which is booked for Mar 17 (they couldn't fit me in last month so pre-empted this month).

I'm going all out too this month, taking agnus castus again, plus the maca root and the mum-to-be stuff from Boots (ironic eh the name).

My diet is back on track after putting on 3lbs last week I have done lots of exercise already and just basically given myself a kick up the wotsit.

Hubby is making an attempt to give up smoking and so far since Sunday has only smoked 12 instead of the normal 60 - it's progress!!

Oh - Lilo congrats on clear smear, it was 5 years ago Monday I had my op which brought a smile to my face.

Generally feeling a bit more positive. Just need a bit of sunshine to top it off today.

Baby dust to all

Nadine, no sunshine here I am afraid, only rotten old rain.

I too am curled up of the sofa with my laptop - but being a mean mummy my cats are shut in the conservatory while they clean their paws!! No, I havent transfered my parental skills onto the pusskas, we have a new carpet (cream) since christmas, and dont want muddy paw prints on it! Yes girls, all the rain and snow is my fault. I dont think we have had a dry day since the carpet went down! We cant even use our front door at the mo, we are using the back door in the cons to try and keep it clean. Sad eh!

Sunshine came through here! Puffo is curled up on my arm again. The problem is I will ned to plug my laptop in in a short while, as the charger is at the desk at the moment, and I don't want to wake him up!!!!

Ah we know who to blame now Lilo!

My 3 cats seem to know when I've just hoovered as there is nice fresh beige carpet to shed their fluff on to. grr!

My mum has just got a puppy (found on side of road in a sack!), went to see it Sunday night, v cute and mental running around everywhere.
Emailed a friend Monday and said 'yeah puppy was really cute but made me realise I don't want another young animal' she replied saying 'this from the lady who is trying to get pregnant'.

Was I overreacting to have got upset by this.... I replied saying I thought a baby was a tad different to a puppy and she just replied saying they all poo..mmmm

Probably was me overreacting as AF signs showed up Mon am and had just weighed myself :eek:. doesn't matter now anyway just thought I'd rant

Damn lost my post!

My ex husband wasnt ready for children so whenever I got broody, he got me another kitten. I ended up with five!

My current 3 are spoilt rotten too!

If he was anything like my ex - you will be glad you only got unrelated kittens! My cats have outlived that marriage thank goodness and my "big baby" is sitting next to me - squeezing me into the corner of the sofa!!

Funny day today, busy but don't feel like I have achieved much.

Got bored tonight - OH is out with "the lads" and so I thought s*d it - and opened a bottle of bubbly left from New Years Eve. Feel guilty now.

liloandstitch

Hope you enjoyed it angela. Dont feel guilty - it wont do you any harm.

And yes, I dont regret not having kiddies with ex, but I do from the point of view that it has made me so much older now trying to expand my family iyswim!

Hope everyone is enjoying the day - I have seen the sun today - woohoo!

Lilo
