    Well, if your cycle last time was 47/48days (from memory?) then you probs ov'd around CD33/34 -give or take a few days, so you may have to wait a week or two for the +ive OPKs :o hopefully you'll manage what I'm doing and get it a few days (or more!) shorter each cycle :) Try not to get too down

    1st cycle was 59 days, 2nd cycle (last one) was 43 days :). I'm hoping they're gradually getting shorter - but you're right - even if I'm 43 days again I've still got another week or so to go :(. Ah well. I'll just keep chasing those butterfly's (love that smilie).

    We'll just try it on the next cycle:) The clinic recommends doing it for at least an year, and something like 70% get a baby:cool:

    I like the sound of THOSE odds :D. Best of luck QQ! x

    Well I'm definitely CD1 today QQ. Good job Moon bought me some more CBFM sticks recently (the first ones he's bought since we've been trying, and he got them only after me hinting rather than asking him outright to get some). He said that he heard me say I was running low on them, so he decided he'd better get some so I didn't run out. :)

    ETA: I've just finished a decaff coffee with quite a big glug of Irish cream in it, so I'm feeling quite hot now! Didn't measure the amount, just poured and counted to 5. ;)
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    I had my private appointment this morning and it was absolutely awful. I pretty much cried throughout it and then cried all the way back home. I'm also in pain as my womb got biopsied - ouch! Such a cr*p day :-(

    Big hugs fannyanna! Anything we can do? Do you want to talk about it? PM me if you don't want to chat openly on the board. Take some pain killers and get yourself tucked up in bed with a hot water bottle - this helped my sister when she had her cervix biopsied.

    ETA have you got anyone with you who can look after you?

    Sexymouse you've just started me off crying again but thank you so much. I'm sure I'll post about the whole episode (maybe later tonight) but for now I'm just too upset. Thank you for my hug x x x

    Hallo everybody!!!

    Don't know if many will remember me but just popping in for an update and to say merry xmas and new year!

    So... I am still TTC. About a full year now. a year which has been full of stress and tribulations (most of which haven't been horrific to be fair!).

    We both achieved a fair amount - I now have more letters after my name. Very happy about that especially writing a 30k paper wasn't exactly fun!

    TTC wise - at the moment we are just having loads of hows-your-father. Due to a booked clubbers holiday we stopped for a while. Kind-of, but I'd be safe to fly if I got pregnant after now so I'm spending a lot of time on my back (and front, and side and upside down (just kidding about the last bit). We have been referred to the fertility clinic but I have been too busy to book an appointment... Job for next week.

    I lurk every so often - I have my fingers crossed like a pretzel for those who need it, hugs for those who need it and if you give me 10 mins a glass of champagne for those who need that!

    As christmas is for children (in my eyes anyway) all those feeling down remember - you will look back at your calm and collected couple-y champagne christmas and New Year one day with a child in your arms with a slight fondness. Make the most of the day. What will be will be when fate decides the time is perfect for you and not a moment before.

    Love, kisses, happiness and goodwill to all

    Disclaimer: Pralines posts are sometimes flippant. In fact are usually flippant. Do not take offence at anything I said a mini-praline will be loved and cherished. I'm just believe in finding the best of my moment at all times regardless of the situation as life is too short not to enjoy it. And if you are wondering why I am even justifying my post - it is because I have taken some flack in the past - but we wont talk about that :o)

    Generally, if most have smiled for grinned at the above my mission has been accomplished ;O)
