I would say that DH does but you don't. I am pretty much t-total anyway and DH isn't so I don't have to worry about that bit. Or you could drive and say I can't drink cos I'm driving.

We are not driving:o

Anyway I'll say I don't drink, because I don't really, especially lunch.
Had I weren't TTC I would've said yes I drink, but for lunch?

My friend is a chef, I wonder if it'll make all the difference to what he serves:D

Well.....................CD1 for me

BUT I am happy because

1) my LP is 14 days which is good
2) my cycle went from 73 days to 42 days so a whole month shorter
3) a little longer to save some money!
4) I get to join the club for this month!

Good PMA:cool: LP is very good:)

Thanks QQ - at least I get to have some fun on my holiday now!! and you never know being on holiday might help things....!

I did think 3 days prior to OV would have meant some seriously super strong swimmers!

So I am going to stop temping until CD10 and then after OV xx

Hello everyone.

Had my follow up appointment with my GP this morning. She's inspired me with regards to the weight loss. I asked her to weigh me and make a record of it in the hope that it will incentivise me - aim to have a loss when I see her next in 4 weeks time.

She's also said that she is happy to break the rules for me and prescribe me clomid. I am very, very surprised about that but obviously happy.

I expect she'll want me to lose some weight (not sure how much) which I am more than happy to do. For myself I'd like to lose some weight before I start clomid. A bit of weight loss might make everything start to work naturally anyway.

I know I'm getting way ahead of myself now but has anyone tried clomid before (QQ I think you may have if I remember correctly). Do you literally just pop a pill and that's it or is there more to it? I know they only like to give it to you for 6 cycles but if you do 6 and it doesn't work can you try again after taking a break? Also do they check to make sure your tubes are clear before they give you clomid? In a way it would be a waste if the clomid made you ovulate but because of blocked tubes it didn't work.

Great attitude Littleme82, plus you can unwind with a glass of wine tonight! It will happen for all of us when the time is right. Have a lovely holiday, when and where are you off?

QQ, you could always say you are on antibiotics so cant drink xx

Hi all. Hugs to yet more with CD1, august will be a bumper month as the BFPs have been a bit thin on the ground recently!!

Is there something you can take or do to shorten your cycles? My first two off the pill have been 41 days and 49 days. I know its not THAt long compared to some on here but it does reduce the number of chances to get PG in a year!! I asked the Doc about it and he said its perfectly normal but could also be affected by me having underactive thyroid.

Agnus Castus I believe can shorten your cycle length my regulating your hormones.

There's quite a bit about it on the web.

I think there are a couple of other people who have the same problem on here, is there something about it a page or so ago?

I am now 24 hours on from when I though AF had started and still nothing more. My tummy is so full of butterflies, daring to hope that I may have been sucessful after all. Just wish I ahd a definitive answer, its horrible being stuck in limbo. Should I test tomorrow if it still hasn't started? My CM is pretty much normal again.
