    tinksy - ice bar sounds fab!! do you live near london? good luck for the second half of your 2ww ;)
    keza - i did it for you :D
    emmylou - we will, of course, have you if you are going to be more chatty :D I find that keeping up with everyone else makes me obsess less about myself! Oh - I am also a nosey b!tch :rotfl:

    I have added some of you on FF, by the way :cool:
    OBEM was lovely, tears and all. Time for bed - night night!

    CD17 low on CBFM again:(, but the estrogen is getting stronger, and IC OPKs are showing stronger line, not + but seems to be gearing up.

    I don't think I'll be oving tomorrow like the doc said, more like Wednesday.

    Was going to BD late afternoon before DH departs, but he was in the mood this morning, right after brekkie, so I went along with it:p
    Didn't have time to use Preseed though, but put my legs on the wall afterwards to let the swimmers swim down the right way:cool: (1st time for me, don't really believe on swimmers and gravity but worth a try).

    He's coming back late on Tuesday (flight arriving at 12am, so getting home at 1am Wed morning), but he said he'll try again then if no ov.
    Fingers crossed I'll ov Wed:o
    Good luck :)
    Sorry it wasn't a BFP, but glad your cycle has reset so you can have all the tests etc:)
    I think my longest cycle was 54days, I know how that feels:o

    PS.You are multi-quoting!:T
    Ah, it's ok, I would've been freaking out the whole time I think, not having had all the hormone tests yet etc...

    I always could multiquote...I just got a bit stupid that day :p

    I've done a clear blue test and says im pregnant 2-3 weeks :T, unsure if i need to keep the test to show the doc? (booked in on Thursday for other ailments)
    :T CONGRATULATIONS!! :T

    A little birdie told me people where asking after me so thought Id log in and read back a little bit - my you lot have been busy!

    Im fine - having a nightmare on jury service and cant talk about it with anyone..... so my head is literally mushed with trying to be miss marple..... plus 5hours plus each day sat in a uncomfy chair trying to avoid eye contact whilst listening to evidence is draining me so havent felt like chatting. (they normally issue jurors with the samaritans number on request or at the end of a case - we got issued with same number on day one:()
    Plus no oh visit this cycle due to above jury service so havent had much to contribute.
    Have read back and cant remember a thing...... have joined a secret fb group though as im a fb fiend :)

    Will check in again soon - wishing you all get sticky beans before Easter though :)
    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

    Well I think I am roughly 8DPO, I'm not entirely sure as I'm not doing opks anymore. AF is due next weekend, and the way I feel today I think it's safe to say that she will arrive. I've got a right short temper on me today which is usual in the week leading up to AF. So I feel like a big fat failure. I'm sick of waiting, I feel like all I do is wait .... wait for ov .... wait for AF ... wait for ov ... wait, wait, wait! This is cycle 10 and I feel like my life has been on hold for the past 10 months. But most of all I get sick of the question .... so when are you two going to have a baby? And sometimes the most insensitive and audacious people will comment: You don't want to leave it too long ... you're getting on a bit now you know. And depending on where I am in my cycle I either want to cry or smack them in the chops :mad:

    So, I'm off to do some more waiting .....
    :( I know what you mean dude. :cool: Hope you're feeling a bit more up now? :o

    Not sure what is going on with me. I was woken up at 6.15am (!) by a sharp pain in my lower, right abdomen area. At first I thought it was just wind, but now I'm not so sure. It won't ease, and I developed a headache on the way into work.

    Gonna keep an eye on this pain for now, and see how it goes. I'm a little concerned it could be my appendix. I bl00dy well hope not!
    Hope you're feeling better now Euro

    @ smash no, not really, feel more pregnant, could be wishful thinking, not as strong or as positive as last time, but headlights are out,(not normal) chumbawumbas are painful, (not normal) grumpy and sad (normal for af) whos knows only time will tell, due on in a couple of days so not long to wait, will be really upset if not done it this month, as somehow, it will make things better if I can still have a 2011 baba, stupid I know, and heading for a fall..............
    Good luck PP :) I can understand the 2011 thing perfectly. Hope you get your dream coming true :)

    Hello again ladies :) I'm back. Went for 12 week scan last week to find no heartbeat :(. As it's my 3rd mc we're being referred for testing - got GP appointment soon so he can refer us. Not sure if it will find anything seeing as we already have our son, but worth a try I think.

    Not strictly TTC at the moment but need somewhere to post so thought I'd head back here :o xxxx
    Oh Ali I'm soooo sorry to hear that :( I've followed some of the <12wk thread from time to time and seen your posts on there. I really hope you get the answers you need

    I mentioned to my two best friends that we're thinking of trying next year. One is happy for us. The other said "I'd better persuade DH to try before that then" :eek: Can you believe she's turning it into a race / competition?
    :rotfl: I have a "best" friend just like that.... :cool: She seriously wazzes me off with it now, and it's got to the point where I just refuse to talk to her about anything even vaguely TTC related, even tho she is at the same time as me :cool:
    euronorris wrote: »
    Out of both of them, she is the most likely to either a) end the friendship or b) just agree with everything I say, but then nothing changes.

    I think I find option b harder to deal with. At least if she's honest with me, and tells me she disagrees, or she can't act how I'd like her too, I would know where I stand and stop looking for support in the wrong place. Whereas, with the 'yes, you're right, I'm sorry, things will be better now' response, which is soon followed by inaction, I kinda feel like she's just keeping me around to support her, with no intention of reciprocating. That makes me feel used.
    I know exactly what you mean here too. I have ex-friends like this I'm afraid. When I started getting ill(er and iller) they strangely ceased to be around... :cool: Hope you manage to find an option C though :)

    she'd let me down several times over quite important things, over the course of a year or so, whilst I felt that I had been a good friend to her for a number of reasons. I basically said that I felt that the relationship was unbalanced, and that I was going to stop "chasing" her all the time - so she could get in touch with me as and when she wanted to..... Haven't heard from her in 18 months.... :(
    I have had the same thing with a group of friends (about 6 of them) that I thought[i/] were my best friends. I've literally not seen any one of them since my wedding :cool:
