    (((Hugs))) Penny. You have been through so much. I hope you get some answers from Bupa.

    Welcome back MV and Tinkwings. Obviously we would rather that you weren't here - but its nice to see you. You know what I mean!

    Not much happening here. CD5 for me and a light AF. Bought some Boots OPK to use next week, and some more Pregnacare conception tablets, so taking those religiously now! DH gearing himself up for the SMEP plan, starting Monday :j

    Hugs and sticky baby dust to all x

    hugs penny, glad you have been to the docs, this has been going on a long time for you xxxx

    I've been to the docs today, He has me booked for some blood tests, when they come back depending on the result, if there is nothing then he will refer me to one of the docs at the hospital. It could still be nothing so we might be ok in future but we are still going to have a break for a few months.

    I'm going to do everything I can to get my body into top condition in the meantime, lose all the baby weight I've been carrying around for the last 5 yes 5 years. Time to get back to my prekids weight.

    Hi Lizzie,

    Welcome to the thread :)

    If you go to page 1 of this thread and scroll to the end of the first post, there is a link to all the TTC (Trying To Conceive) abbreviations. Don't worry, it becomes second nature in no time! What stage of your cycle are you currently at?

    Hi to Retro and Merfe :hello:
  • Ok I don't know much about the cycles but I am AF on Monday. I had been very irregular for a year before ttc, finally settled down but not sure of cycle. Sorry I am so rubbish at knowing anything :o apart from being dissappointed every month. My others happend straight away!

    We all know that disappointed feeling when AF shows! The first day of your cycle is the first day of your full on period. We class that first day as CD1 (Cycle Day 1). Do you know when you ovulate, so when your best chances of catching at the right time?
  • No I don't, thought it was about 14 days after first day of cycle??
