    Welcome Curly, feel free to join the party! You might as well join in as sit and lurk, there's lots of info flying about which will help you get ready for TTC in the summer. There's a whole new language to learn for a start!:)

    I was saying to OH the other day, I wish there was a foolproof way of knowing EXACTLY when you ov/should BD...it would make life so much easier!!

    Thing is, even if we could know exactly, its still not game-on, is it? That little fella has still got to find the egg and burrow on in there, the egg has to finish its journey, then its got to burrow itself a nest, and our bods have got to hold onto it for 9 months.....so many obstacles, its a wonder there is any new life out there at all! :D

    Yet we still put ourselves through it month after month, we must want our heads examined. :rotfl:

    Haven't been around the thread for a while (am literally popping in and out to MSE at the minute for one reason or another) - could anyone who's not on the front page PM me your details if you want adding, or if there are any graduates etc who need to be moved position, PM me too ;-)

    Lots of sticky baby dust girls!!!

    Welcome curly :D

    ooooh moley will keep it all crossed for you..I'm getting into a habit of saying now 'it aint over till the fat lady (AF) sings'!!!:D

    iainsmum - you are right. It's a long and arduous journey, and then I've been told that once the little 'un arrives you then spend your life worrying about them and trying to keep them alive!! :rotfl:

    sigh..im bored senseless at work today. I was trying to work out my cycles earlier on:

    Sept 09 - 30 days
    Oct 09 - 28 days
    March 10 - 26 days

    sooo...which one should I go with????:think:

    Back again ;-)

    curly and iainsmum, I've added you to the front page, tinks I've moved you to the grad list but if you're not ok with that let me know sweetie (and apologies if I'm being presumptuous xx)

    Looking through the front page, I think there are a few people who should be moved onto the grad list now, there's a couple of names jumping out at me but I won't move anyone else unless asked to just in case.......

    Hey, MV, don't ask me. I've been 28 days for the last three months, BD'd on CD10, 12, 14, 16, EWCM on CD15 - thought that gave me pretty good odds - and AF visits on CD25, so where that puts OV I have no idea! :mad:

    Hmmmmmm..........

    Gah, there's no rhyme or reason is there!!?? :mad:

    Well we've only BD'd on CD12 and 14 so far and hoping to get a cheeky one in tonight too. Had what looked like EWCM on CD 11, and ov stick gave me a big fat + line on Sunday morning (CD 14)...so in conclusion.... I HAVEN'T GOT A SCOOBY DOO!!! :rotfl:

    Actually iainsmum, your pattern looks very simillar to mine! sigh.....

    Boo...my boss has just emailed me a picture of his baby...he was born last week.

    He says that fatherhood is amazing and he just spends all day staring at him.

    I am very very happy for him..but I think I need to go up to the toilet on the 3rd floor (my regular place) now and have a cry.

    Hello ladies

    Sorry I've not been around for a while, to be honest I was feeling a bit low after my last few posts weren't really acknowledged and started feeling sorry for myself. Realised that's just me being stupid so i'm back and elbowing my way back into the group.

    There's no way I can catch up on all the posts so :wave: to any newbies.
    Hugs to those that need them and :j for any BFP's I've missed
    (Tinks :beer: - here's to a happy and healthy 8 months)

    Well I got the results back from docs yesterday. Scan showed normal working uterus and ovaries which is fantastic as I was sure there was going to be something wrong there.

    My progesterone levels were slightly low for CD21 though but that may be cos I hadn't ov'd by then (cycles all over the place). So having to go for another batch of bloods tomorrow (CD21). At least hormone levels can be fixed much more easily that damaged tubes!

    Was oving at weekend (according to MMC) but me and OH were arguing so we didn't BD :(. Everything fine now and we were just a bit stressed with each other.

    I'm off work now until 6th April so having lovely week of doing nothing. 5 weeks til we go to Egypt :cool:. Love to all....xx
