Hi everyone, alex that holiday sounds faB!!! We want to know how you got on - marks out of 10 for most creative bd opportunity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Natalie :eek:to Niagara falls!! Is anyone still taking clomid - i have heard that it is useful to try the cough mixture trick whilst taking this - benylin etc, to keep the mucus flowing (TMi I know) as it can reduce it - dont know how true it is but the mucus can definately be increased by taking it. The active ingredient is guaifenesin. I have taken it in my time (OK OK is there anything I havent tried!) and it def works, it loosens the flem on your chest, and as a side effect, loosens it everywhere:rotfl::rotfl:

Anyone doing anything nice at the weekend?

And has anyone heard from FE or somnium - they were due to have second scans, I hope everything is OK and they come back and tell us - I miss them already!!

So looking good to me, x

Somnium

Still here and lurking, I pop in most days to see how your all doing. Apologies for not updating you all I thought I had! Well second scan was ok, only the one bean but we are happy still all the same and really grateful that he/she is looking nice and healthy. Have now been discharged by hospital and am considered a normal pg Had Doc for various form filling on tuesday, and next tuesday have booking in appt for bloods and stuff its a 1hr appt!! Just waiting for 12 week scan appt now. Oh and have been re dated so due 4 days sooner now 27th Feb (thank heavens its not a leap year).

Am sorry some of you are having a rough time, it really isn't fair you should go through so much when others concieve so easily. I hope there are lots of BFPs to come though and am blowing lots of sticky baby dust your way xx

Evening all and thanks for the shouts of encouragement! Will let you know how it goes......

MadMac - you say the swimmers can stick around for up to 5 days??? I didn't know it was that long!

Just make sure you keep your legs crossed for the 5 days................!!!!

Thanks shelly!!! I think I posted on one of them a while ago once or twice, but then as this duvet is going much slower than the previous one (I did one for my godson last year), I just didn't keep up. That one took 3 months, while I am doing this one for a year now!!!! I know I will finish it, as I rally like it, it is just that I don't 'find' time to do it. I was thinking to finish for another friend's baby, but I think I might keep it for my own, as it is taking so long!!!!

I am still sitting at home, but at least it is sunny this morning. I need to tydy up the hosue, as the landlord might be coming tomorrow or Sunday to replace elctric shower which died on us (not a problem, as we still have mains shower in ensuite - benefits of living in huge house: we had one loo not functioning, but as we have two more, not a problem). The shower we guess was original that was installed when the house was built - 20+ years ago!

Oh, an I am going to get out of the hosue today - have dentist appointment this afternoon, so going to try public transport as don't feel like driving yet. And can come back with OH, as he has an appointment after me as well, but coming straight from work.

Good work on the exercise ginvzt. It's hard work to get going isn't it. My BMI was 36 but I've managed to get it down to 34 so far but need to get down to below 30 if we want to be considered for NHS IVF funding - argh!

Oh, and I don't know what is going on, but after the lap, even though I am just sitting at home and doing barely anything, (my usual position is on the sofa with the remote/laptop/cross-stitch - good thing we have got a recliner sofa!), I managed to loose weight. I have lost 1kg (just over 2lbs) in a week. I know as I did check my weight on Friday morning before operation and it was 86kg, and it is 85kg today!

And I am still eating 3 meals a day with snacks (bread and jam/ bagel with honey/splendips) in between!
