    Haha I like it. I did think about metronidazole actually, and you can't drink for a couple of days after finishing the course so my lack of tablets wouldn't be an issue. Though to be honest that won't stop them all thinking it's an excuse and that I'm PG really!
    Lol, probably. All I put on my status today was "2" and it got people saying "babies?!?" :rotfl:
    Is it bad then that I've always washed down my painkillers with alcohol? Never done me any harm (though a lot of others might disagree with that!)
    I'm saying nothing! :silenced:
    11lbs - woohoo!!!!! :j

    Hope the results are good
    Thanks. :D
    He actually hadn't been sent my results (which annoys me greatly) but said I do have PCOS not just PCO, regardless, but when he gets the results he'll be in touch if there's any reason to, sort of thing. I also got the results copied to my GP though, so he can tell me too.
    He's given me a letter to give to GP to get GP to give me Metformin, so we'll see how that goes :) And if I don't get preg within 12months of trying, he said to get GP to refer me back and they'd do more investigations/put me on Clomid. So for now I feel more in control again, esp with the weight loss so far, so that's helping me. :)

    Can I ask a cycle question please?

    I think I had EWCM on CD9 which would give me decent LP if I come on tomorrow like I think I will (CD22). However, I did Opk's from CD12 to 15 and got positives on 13 and 14.

    Do you think I ov'd on day 8? Is it possible to get positive opk's after ov? And do you normally get two in a row? They were very clear positives with clear surge and fall...

    Sorry for all the questions-I'm trying to convince myself I don't have a crazy cycle!
    If you've not already been replied to (not got that far down, I quote as I go along) I think you can get a secondary LH surge further on in your cycle :)

    Hi, Hope you dont mind me popping back but I have a question!!

    I had my miscarriage last month and I have had my af and am on CD10 I am still bleeding an odd bit but just brown stringy(TMI sorry).I did an OPK The smilie ones and it showed positive.The time before I got pregnant I had a positive on day 16.Could it be possible that I am ovulating or could it be that I might still have pregnancy hormones still that I would get a positive opk
    It could be either (((hugs))). I'd test with hpt since it could be residual hcg from mc or real pg. If negative, then you may be oving.
    Meant to say earlier QQ had posted to say to take a photo of your digi BFP as the battery only lasts 24 hours, and she was correct as usual. The battery on mine expired at 8.30am this morning, practically 24 hours to the minute that I did my test. I know that's when it expired because I've looked at it every 10 minutes to check that the result hasn't changed :D
    So it's really 24hrs, I wonder if mine will last as long, since it's nearing its expiry date:p Hope I get to use it before it expires:cool:

    Some do get positive opks in the middle of the cycle, and near AF. That's unless you ov'd late...

    Can also pm me for the secret fb group.

    Which coincidentally will be the only place Ill be posting on from now on. Been on here for 17/18 months (both lurking and posting) and just dont feel like I fit anymore, my life doesnt fit with the rest of your lives, and my circumstances are different, so Im bowing out of mse ttc thread graciously. Ive seen far too many people come and go now and been genuinely happy for each and everyone of them but like I said I dont fit and im not sure I ever have done. So Im going to leave and concentrate my efforts on my life and trying to get my bfp and probably the adoption process. I sincerely hope you all get what your hearts desire.

    GG I love the bones of you and shall continue to stalk you and I dont have the words now
    WW and Deb - I am so made up for you both :)

    Genuine sticky baby dust to you all...
    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

    Hi, I've been lurking / MIA for a while as have had lots going on... I logged in the other day and noticed I'd got close to the top of the testing list..........

    Well - we've been "not trying, not preventing" for a little while now, and actually had kind of decided to not go for it for a couple of reasons - 1) to make the most of it just being us for a while and be selfish and have lots of fun together and 2) because I'm waiting for an offer on a shiny new amazing fabulous job.

    Anyway, today is CD38 and I was saying to OH that I was getting fed up with these slightly irregular cycles (between 27 and 42 days, averaging 33 days) and he said perhaps I should do a test at the weekend...

    I've got some internet cheapy tests, and I know with them you aren't supposed to drink a lot of water beforehand, so I'm sitting here working from home thinking "ooh I'm thirsty, I've not had a drink today" and then "perhaps my wee will be strong enough for a IC".

    So I did it. And it's only !!!!!!!g come up positive :eek:

    I am shaking.

    None of this is how I 'planned' it.... What the hell do I do about my new job? I never did start taking folic acid! I've been out drinking tons this past month, I've eaten loads of carp and haven't been exercising, I need to lose about a stone, not put loads on!... I wanted OH to be with me when we got a positive result... I wanted to feel ready....... !!!!!!!!

    OH is home from work in 3 hours, so I need to busy myself and perhaps go and buy a Clearview proper test.

    Is it natural to feel panic stricken? And though I've been edging towards broodiness, now it could be real I feel like I might like some more time to think about getting properly broody.... Holy ship.

    Will try and log back on over the weekend to update.

    PS. Can ICs be wrong?
    PPS. I was planning to do a 14km run in August, can I still?
    PPPS. My hair needs dying drastically, can I still (I use Majirel dyes by L'Oreal)

    Sorry - one more from me...

    I'd hope my post doesn't come across as flippant or disrespectful or ungrateful for this happening... To be honest, it's a complete shock and I don't know how I feel yet... The 5 mins testing/wait window was barely finished by the time I posted and this was the first place I thought to come...

    Even though I've not been a particularly active contributor to this thread, I think it's a marvellous place for support - you guys are so kind and lovely, so I hope I haven't been insensitive for posting to let you know.

    I'm actually worried about OH's response as we'd decided to put all this on the backburner etc. But I hope you don't think I'm being a cow saying "timing isn't great" when you lot would kill for any timing...

    I'm waffling now, will go before I make it worse - hopefully you'll know what I mean :) and I'll come back when it's a bit straighter in my head.
