    :beer: hello time2deal. You've got me all intrigued.

    Maybe I should have used an AE.

    Hi code,
    Don't worry - I wasn't much of a poster! I just remember you as you were quite stressed before the wedding if I recall correctly! Did you have a honeymoon in Poland? Anyway, it all looked great.

    Sorry to hear about CD1, but welcome to the insane world of ttc. :)

    Yeah, I was the one that had the massive fall out with half my family over inviting people I don't know, hen do ended up with my maid of honour being arrested and someone else in a&e, and shin splits a month before the wedding so I was panicking whether my dress would fit. Phew.

    still cd40. strangely really upset about the bfn - more so than any other month. guess I just really wanted it. doesn't help that I had to buy a nappy cake for one of my colleagues, who's baby is due this week. its so adorable.

    thanks for being so welcoming and I'm sorry if I was being really annoying.

    Aida do you mean like using a mooncup? It's not the real purpose for them but I suppose it could work. I think Nicki has used her mooncup after BD, so she may have more info/advice for you x

    Ahhhh yes Codemonkey, I defintely you panicking about the wedding .
    You've not been annoying.

    Part 2 of operation fitness is underway, Oh has just bought us a second hand bike each, so I can bike to work every night. It's not very far to work, and in the summer I tend to walk it. But I don't like walking home late at night when I finish at about midnight as work is on the edge of the village and it's a bit secluded around there as it's the playing field. We had a big problem with gangs hanging round last year, so I prefer to take the car as it's safer. But if I have a bike it means I'm only a couple of minutes from there and don't have to walk past the dark playground at night. Only thing is now my Oh's bike is sat in my living room as he hasn't got a lock for it yet and there's a lot of reports of the scrap men in the area going in people's gardens and taking their bikes at the moment here, and we can't get it in the shed at the moment.

    The only reason why some of my friend's know I'm trying for a baby, is because we are a very close lot and very maternal. One of them is a recent mum as she has taught me a hell of lot about baby related stuff. Plus it's actually nice to be able to sit there and talk it through. Did emotionally hurt a bit today as she was getting all excited that if we had been successful this month there would be a year between mine and her baby and I could have all of her bits and pieces. I did feel like screaming at her that it just doesn't seem to be happening for us even though we know that everything physically is ok with us. I know she didn't mean to be insensitive,she's just excited about the idea of another baby in the village, as she doesn't know anyone from here and we are the only 2 from our school that moved here.
    This seems such a long journey now, I know that there are people on here that have been trying a lot longer than us. We've only been trying with OV sticks and the cbfm for 5 months now, but before that we have been trying a long long time now, infact for 8 years now we have been ntnp. I know in the end it's going to be worth it. OH asked me today how I would feel if there was never a baby at the end of it, I just couldn't give him the true answer as I don't want to contemplate it.
    I think it does help a little it being a slightly longer process rather than falling pregnant in the first month, as I know I am going to appreciate the end result even more. Was holding my friend's little boy earlier and he was dribbling everywhere all over me, she apologised and in truth I just didn't care. I want the dribble, I want the crying (I may live to regret that comment one day while sleep deprived).


    sorry about the long depressing post, think it's just getting to me at the moment.
    Remember never judge someone that makes a mistake, because in six months time it may be you that makes the next mistake.

    Morning ladies,

    I thought once AF finally showed up that my mood might improve but no, OH is still getting his head bitten off everytime he opens his mouth. I know I'm being a complete cow but it's really like I have no control over myself. I feel perfectly happy in myself, am getting on fine with everyone else, but as soon as I see him he just irritates me.

    Is that hormones, or am I just a b*tch??

    Sa-ra-ra-ra, (((hugs))) for your infection, are you all right?:(
    Good luck at the recurrent mc clinic:o

    Thanks QQ. I'm feeling ok now, but was in a bit of pain over the weekend - nothing too bad, but not normal. I'm just a bit annoyed because actually, I think the only way to fix what has happened is to get pregnant and have a baby. And the infection is just wasting time!

    Sa-ra-ra-ra Congrats for your appoitment + house. having a mortgage is like having to pay rent but you keep the house at the end of the term.

    Thanks :) We're stressing out a bit at the moment because the stamp duty holiday ends on the 24th March and we haven't had a completion date through yet... On the up side, my bank account looks really healthy as it has our deposit in it :D We were a bit surprised that they gave us a mortgage in the first place to be honest, because although he's been very good at making payments DH still has a reasonable level of debt, and I used to miss payments or make them late all over the place (not any more. Am debt free now :D *smug*).

    abis21, I'd let her go to the wedding. We were concerned that DSS wouldn't be allowed to come to ours (although it was at a weekend), and we had to do a 200mile dash to drop him back the next day, and although he's younger than your daughter, he still talks about it. Even if she's not bothered now, I'm with QQ - she may be in the future.

    Tealover, you are being a little bit of a b*tch but it's ok because you're hormonal ;) I do this. I'm ok with everyone else and I have massive screaming fits at DH for nothing, then when he tells me I'm being an unreasonable b1tch, I cry. He's used to it now.

    Hope everyone else is ok.

    Where is my eggy? I'm on CD18 now, FF thinks that I'll ovulate on CD19 (tomorrow!) and I have no signs, no EWCM, and the faint lines I was getting on OPKs have disappeared. I know that I'm in the !!!!!! cycle post miscarriage but last time I got AF 32 days later, and my cycles stayed at 32 days until I got my next BFP. I just don't want it to get any longer, I used to have a 27 day cycle and that worked fine for me - 32 days is an extra 5 days to wait each month and at this rate it's getting even longer! I'm a bit torn though, if the eggy takes its time we have more chance of catching it - we're sort of (but not completely) off BD'ing because of the infection, so it might want to wait until we get back on it and my uterus becomes all inviting again!

    Your infection is pronably holding up your egg Sara-ra-ra. Which is probably a good thing, as if you did ovulate and conceive now you'd probably be worried about what effect that would be having on the pregnancy. Hopefully as soon as the antibiotics have done their stuff, your egg will come whizzing down the pipes!

    BFN for me this morning at 12dpo. I had hoped this might be the month, not least because I am so bloated at the moment, particularly in the evenings, that moving into maternity jeans would be a blessing :). My chart is "possibly triphasic" for the first time ever, but FF helpfully says that it really meaningless. I have packed some tampons in my bag just in case, and its just a waiting game now I guess to see whether AF shows on Thursday as expected.

    That's sort of what I was hoping. Apart from the whole being-on-antibiotics stress, I don't want my uterine lining to be too hostile when it finally does make an appearance.

    Your chart is looking really good, and I think it's triphasic. Fingers crossed - 12dpo is definitely not out yet.
