    Murray x :grouphug:

    Puzzled I think I know what you mean. We were both ready to try but it took OH a bit longer to realise we actually had to, you know, try. You couldn't just have a random BD, it needed to be at the right time! I've now got him on board of doing his part as well, eating right, no hot baths etc.

    CD8 and still low for me, I was hoping I was OVing early which was why we hadn't caught. I can't shake this ominous feeling I'm going to find out this month I have a really short luteal phase or not OVing at all - but well, that's why I got the CBFM!

    Since BDing like rabbits got me naught but bladder infections, this month I'm saving my energy and just DTD when it tells me (and at the weekend!), which is good because it's too blimmin hot for that much exercise :rotfl:

    Morning ladies. Well as previously posted CD10 for me and low :(. But I am getting 'twinges', not looking like ov though.

    P.S, even though we've been referred to a fertility specialist it's looking like months til we get our appoiontment.
    In the meantime my friend who is going through IVF got a BFP yesterday after completing her 2nd cycle. Yippee......she's 4 weeks now so we're all keeping our fingers crossed.

    It's filled me with hope anyway..xx

    Congrats to your friend dusty :)

    My friend had her scan y'day and she's 13+2 and baby is ok :D She had a mmc a few months ago and was super worried. She's younger than me and this is #2! :p

    I got a little jealous when looking at her scan pics though.
  • What do you mean about them syncing???? Its been a long day :cool:

    I punted the theory that this would happen on here ages ago. If it does, it is an interesting area for research, 'cos it means there is some psychological control of cyles. Other than stress, which has physical symptoms, I mean.

    QQ are you working at the moment??

    CD11 HIGH and EWCM. Head out of derriere again as marking is over *deep sigh of relief*

    pebbles eH said was ready and then went into a sulk with arrival of BFP, then removed his sorry *ss from the family when she was 3 months. A cautionary tale!

    I hope you have a lovely holiday Fantafan – hopefully the relaxation plus that bd’ing schedule will result in a lovely holiday BFP for you :D

    welcomeflowrs.gifto the newbies – hope your stays are short :)

    Big smiley-vault-misc-125.gif to those who have had an unwanted visit from the witch.gif. Lets hope she jumps on that broomstick and flies over the Bermuda Triangle and doesn’t visit any of us for a while again!

    I agree the weather is too object-emoticon-0062.gifto be working this week!

    CD10 here and am plodding along waiting to ov – am thinking it will be early next week.

    I’ve been taking steps to try and help clear some toxins from my body by drinking a couple of cups of flavoured green tea everyday. I hated it at first but I’m actually starting to enjoy it now and I feel like it is doing me some good too :)

    For a while I’ve been thinking about some complementary/holistic therapies that are said to help with ttc. A friend of mine who had a mmc a couple of months before me had been having Reflexology and she got her bfp 10 weeks ago – she swears the Reflexology helped her conceive and suggested I give it a try.

    Last night I had a consultation with a Reflexologist who offers treatment designed to assist with fertility issues. After a 45 minute chat where she asked about my history and completed a questionnaire about my lifestyle, medical background and general wellbeing she said she feels I might benefit from some sessions.

    I will be starting with my first one on Monday and I’m really looking forward to it. I know there is no guarantee but it is meant to be really good for de-stressing and rebalancing the ‘chi’ in your body so even if it is just some time out for me than that’s fine :)

    Babydust.gif to all :D

    Hiya all,
    Feel like I've not been here for ages, had a busy busy weekend with DS and DD (dear dad)! :)

    DOn't think I've missed any BFPs, so let's hope that means there's some to come before the end of the month.

    Not feeling very optimistic this month as only managed BD once so far, and CD16 today. May have to jump on OH tonight! ;)

    Can you please add me to the testing list for 9th July, GTS, thanks.

    Gonna nip over to the <12wk thread and check up on our graduates!
    It doesn't hurt to be optimistic....you can always cry later. :cry:

    You don't get if you don't ask!
