Incase you were wondering, CD35 for me. 2 x BFN's already in past week so think it's safe to take me off the testing list. Very annoying that AF has decided to either be late for no reason or not show at all.

Drowning myself in a bar of Galaxy and DAvid Beckham on the tele.

I'm not a gadget girl, but the CBFM is easy to use. I got mine on ebay for £40 and it came with 7 sticks. I wouldn't worry about using sticks from different packs as long as they are still in date. It will ask you to test from day 6 to start with and so if you haven't had your LH surge by day 15 you'll then need to use another 10 sticks. Which I didn't have to. Not sure if next cycle it readjusted and you start POAS later, or whether ladies with longer cycles will need to do 20 sticks every month.

Feel much happier with it than the £8 I wasted on cheapie opks.

How much are the sticks? i reckon i'll need loads every month as cycles are so different each month.

Hi all,

Apologies have just done a quick scan, but:

Fantastic news MS12!

Congrats on 2nd int Sammy

Big hugs to everyone

dustystar02 - you probably will be on your second too.

The test sticks were £14 delivered from Amazon for me. Mine will be CD16 tomorrow so hopefully it will go top of the pops although I've done the cardinal sin of being a stroppy cow on the phone. When you start a row on Sunday morning and your DH goes away then extends his stay, I think I'm going to have to throw in the towel and admit defeat. His denial and planned ignorance has me beat.

Thanks for vote of confidence, I'd be more than happy with the one for now.
I know what's it's like to argue without seeing each other. My OH works nights so if we argue o a weekend it can quite easily carry on until the next weekend when we are forced to be in the same room as each other. Only thing that can resolve it funnily enough is if I am oving, we are both desperate for a baby so petty arguemtns pale into significance for the sake of BDing.

got my scan on friday so if that says i'm all ticketiboo think I will buy CBFM on next pay day..x

Evening ladies.

Congrats on the BFPs ladies.

And no Mv you're not being selfish. Think we've all had that internal strop when yet another person announces their pregnancy and you so desperately want it. I'll admit that I sometimes get that even in here. I'm always so happy for the BFPers, but still hearing that wee voice quietly saying "Why can't it be me". To make matters worse, I have a friend who has "the perfect life". She's married to the guy she's been with since uni, they're blissfully happy, got brilliant jobs, shiny new cars, a big house, and they've just had a baby, without any effort. And although I love her to pieces sometimes I just want something bad to happen to them (not death or anything, just a minor setback - maybe a plumbing problem or their kitchen to flood) just because its been too easy for them. I'm a terrible person.

CD3 for me, which is good, because it means another go at fertilising that damn egg, but had pains in my side like ov pain. Is it possible to ov during AF?? Puzzled.

fantafan

Don't think you can OV during AF but I may be wrong. Isn't it that your uterus isn't ready to accept an egg during AF and that's the prep for implantation should you conceive at OV?
I know what you mean about the "perfect life" people....don't always assume tho. We have the house (WIP), the cars, the jobs, the in love since 18 (no baby yet) but what's all shiny on the outside isn't always on the inside.
My sentiments are always compare yourself to people less fortunate. If striving to be supermodel-thin depresses you, watch fat families or something on the telly with a tub of Ben and Jerry's for comfort

On my tiff. 5 days/4 nights apart and I've had to send a text amends. Ever get that feeling that holding on to upsets for so long makes you so sad but the OH oblivious coz lets face it, they can't tell you're upset in the same room let alone separate countries.

Desperate Housewives it is. Although is it me or could they do with a fat ugly lass in it???
