    I read that as 'can I have some piccies please' and wondered why on earth you wanted piccies of my skinny hubby lol!!
    :rotfl:
    If he's good looking, we are all up for a piccie:cool:
    The car is all loaded for the trip, I'm at work so we're going when i finish, we decided to ignore the weather forecast and just go for it! We have a good tent so we'll be fine!

    Did another OPK last night and got another TLP. that was my last one though and I wouldn't be PIAC at the campsite anyway....I can just see me walking back through the campsite clutching my OPK!!!
    Have a great OPK free trip:wave:

    Lost every ounce of PMA in my body.

    Went to bed feeling utterly miserable last night, tossed and turned most of the night, and woke up feeling still utterly miserable and negative. I just know this month wont be out month.
    It's not over yet:wave:

    My partner and I were hoping to start a trying for a baby next month but he is getting cold feet as he is on Azathioprine and there have been studies linking birth defects to the use of this drug by the man during conception.
    Sorry I don't know anything about the drug, but perhaps you could ask your doctor? ((hugs)).

    Thanks all, am feeling a weeeeeny bit better. I just ordered a cake and cupcakes for my DS 4th birthday and individual cupcakes for my DW's 40th - both in September!

    Ordering cakes clearly makes me happy! Maybe I'll look at holidays too.
    Cakes are great for PMA!:j

    I'm half way through catching up, but here goes:o:

    Tinkwings, good luck with jiggly while your DH is busy:o
    BB1984, glad your FIL is doing great:)
    How are you emsbet & colli?
    Welcome back robyn:wave: I remember you:)
    2ab3c, I'm not keen on Mondays:o And stop SSing:naughty::D
    I don't think the knee counts as pg symptom;)
    Also, ignore CBFM after 1st peak. It likes to ask for sticks in bunches of 10 or 20s.
    praline, AFAIK, CBFM is the only stick that measures estrogen as well as LH, so I love it:)

    BB - I'm also glad your FIL is on the mend and that the op went well.

    Here's to continued improvement for both your FIL and Q's father. :beer:
    WB Robyn! :j

    2ab3c - My melons also start off feeling OK, or only slightly tender in the morning, and get increasingly 'heavy' and tender throughout the day. I'm convinced it's water retention caused by hormones. ((HUGS)) it's a bit bl00dy annoying though! :mad:

    Charlie - IF you wish to try and gain some weight, this guide advises you on the best way to do it healthily. http://nutrition.about.com/od/dietsformedicaldisorders/f/GainWeight.htm It will involve quite a bit of calorie counting I'm afraid, as you need to be sure that you're consuming more than you're burning. It's like dieting in reverse, I guess and you get used to how many calories are in each food, so it comes more from memory over time and gets easier.

    This is, of course, only if you want to. A friend I used to work with was so, so slim. HUGE appetite, so she ate plenty, and high calorie meals too, but never gained a lb and she gave birth to a boy earlier this year, so I'm sure you will get there too :D Sorry to hear of your news ((HUGS)) but remember that plenty of women with PCO and PCOS get pregnant and have healthy babies, so you will too!

    Still catching up folks! :D

    BezzyK - Are you OK? Has the witch stayed away for you?

    Woke with a nasty migraine this morning. First time in months, but it had me vomiting. :( Feeling a bit better now though and was finally able to have breakfast.

    I hope you are all well.

    Thanks Emsbet. I'll be fine, the worst is over, and thankfully, I have an eye mask which I could put on to block out all the sunlight from outside on days like this. Really helped today as it was soooo bright this morning!

    How are you?

    Colli - Also, I'm so sorry to hear your news ((HUGS)) How are you today?

    Oh dear. Thankfully I've never suffered from migranes.

    I'm ok just waiting and waiting ..... less than 48 hours and I will have my answer. Trying to stop DH getting his hopes up as he's still clinging to the possibility that all will be ok.

    That is exactly what I have done :rotfl:
    Thought it would be easy to make loads of little squares and stitch them together but I
    need about 80 :eek:
    Ah you see ... the trick is to make them in strips! Do your square then instead of casting off - add in the next colour do the next square - then instead of casting off addin the next colour do the square - then instead of casting off ... You get the idea :p Til you have the required length *snigger* then cast off.

    Hi all

    I am miles behind in reading posts so apologies, i just don't know where the days have gone these last few weeks.

    CD16 for me, got peak on CBFM yesterday which was my 2nd ever peak and 1st at a reasonable normal time of the month, i think my 1st was on CD24. So i was well excited :) I usually get about 10 days of highs, from CD 16 which is why we finally went to the Drs for our tests. 2nd 21 day bloods on Monday but am expecting them to come back confirming OV again. So i have everything crossed that this month is the one, we know me and DH are both working, it's if we work together that may be the problem. So this will be unlucky for some 13th month, but am hoping it's lucky for us :)

    SBD and hugs to all

    Afternoon Girlies,

    Can anyone remind me ... the time scale between getting a positive OPK and the eggie getting released and hopefully meeting a swimmer?

    I got my positive OPK on Sunday afternoon and DH and I have DTD saturday, sunday and last night ... any more and I'm concerned about it turning into a bit of a challenge for him.

    Should I try one last time tonight?

    Thanks
    Icey xx
