    Hey Primmer :)

    I'm doing ok thanks. 8+1 now, still no major symptoms, but trying to keep my powder dry (as my mother would say!)

    How are things with you? How are you getting on with the CBFM?

    sheloveshimsomuch - we keep noticing new born babies not so much pregnant women to be fair
    although slightly worringly i think in the film penelope when shes born as a pig shes quite cute and wouldnt mind a pig faced baby :S
    Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
    Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
    It's not always easy,And sometimes life can be deceiving,
    I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together

    Welcome Honeypop hope your stay is hort with us :)

    I use Fertility Friend. If you sign up you get a months VIP access which is the one you have to pay for usually for free. After that they will offer you a reduction on the fee - I held out and managed to get 180 days VIP membership for about £11 which I don't think is a lot to pay for all the extra stuff it gets you.

    Unfortunately I was already registered with FF last time round, and found it excellent as most things included in the VIP were free last time, but because I'm already registered from back then I don't get the 28 days free VIP and discounted fee, booooo.

    I don't have an Iphone either, bit behind with these things lol.

    Well I guess I'll chart it manually and record signs etc on the paper copy, if I don't find another site that does similar for free. I have plenty of time, probably, to find one!

    Just seem to be surrounded by bumps and babies lately. Im sure they are stalking me :eek: :rotfl:

    I agree there were really not this many before. One new one appeared only this Friday gone, nine days after the last announcement which closely followed a new bump in the office. Still it WILL be me soon. It WILL. It will it will it will.

    Do any of you get nervous when approaching your test date and think about putting it off or are you too excited/anxious to know and rush to test?

    Yes that is my worst time - trying to keep my feet firmly on the floor. I visualise happy scenes of being pregnant, so clearly that I feel the happy emotions, and I have to be very firm with myself to shut them off or the crash landing is even worse.

    Waterbaby, sorry AF got you. Do you have short luteal phase? Or was it just the one off?

    I never used to (you might remember me posting on it a few days ago) as I was always on 30/31 cycles before starting the pill and after having DS, but after second episode on the pill I now have 24 day cycles.

    The timing of ovulation gives me enough luteal phase, but my OPKs didn't detect ovulation this month. I'm prsuming the lack of ovulation and the shorter cycle are related. I am usually (always?) very consistent.

    GTS I'll take a gamble that I'm on 24s, and say please put me down to test on 30th of June.

    Hi, I can totally imagine being like that too! I'll need you to keep me in check when my time comes!!

    Went to fertility clinic today:)

    Bad news, PCOS (as I suspected), good news, it should be easy to treat with Clomid.
    I did mention I'm trying Soy, but he was not impressed:p

    He said I need to get my cycles to normal length. He also said my luteal was on the short side:shocked:

    He said my mc was probably due to chromosome prob, everybody has one mc etc etc, but also said it could have been due to me oving late.

    There were few follicles maturing on the monitor, and he said I'll be fertile next week, so come back for blood test next Wed.

    I asked if I should stop BD, but he said do whenever you feel like it.

    I have to take DH's semen sample over to the hospital tomorrow or the day after. DH thinks he has super sperm and he probably has:mad:
