    Thanks QQ, although I'm wavering a little on when T-DAY actually should be.
    I know what you mean. The latest I waited was 13DPO, AF on 15DPO as usual obviously:o

    Active phase is coming up soon, CD5 today. AF is still here.
    My AF usually leaves on CD7, but DH is impatient so may have to give in soonish:o

    I'm going to try Preseed this cycle. Never used those things so am a bit nervous. I'm on Clomid, double dosage this time, which is said to dry up cm, so every little helps:p

    Preseed's alright. You can 'insert' it about 15 mins before you commence action - OH doesn't actually even need to know about it.

    I've been using Conceive Plus because it seems you get more for your money, and they both seem much of a muchness to me. I use the Preseed applicators for it.

    I went through a phase of slugging back Gaifenesin to help EWCM, but I gave up because it obviously wasn't working!
  • Get you lot, you have really made me laugh tonight! (I loooove the call from barack obama!)

    well I am once again 2 days late, AF seems to be close, I keep getting the 'warning signs' but nothing seems to be happening. Will just wait and see, I think. I am still taking the soya isoflavones which may be altering it, so will wait a while yet and see what happens. If the signs stop, I will test - and if AF comes thru the door I wont need to!!

    Enjoy the rest of the weekend - lilo

    I tried Robitussin and grapefruit juice last 2 cycles, I think it worked, but no BFP:o
    well I am once again 2 days late, AF seems to be close,
    Fingers crossed:)

    Alamaya that's wonderful news!!!

    You and I are in much the same predicament now, I had my BFP from my first ICSI in August - I'm currently (nervously) 9weeks. PM me if there's anything I can help you with.

    Take it easy now, and enjoy the good news!

    By the way, we were a bit dry on BFPs here for a while - now there's a deluge! Who'll be next?
