    So at the risk of sounding crazy I have a confession to make....

    I bought a baby sleep suit yesterday and I've left it hanging out in our bedroom.

    Someone reassure me that they've done the same thing and I'm not loopy :o

    not loopy at all :D:A
    If you can think it........it will happen

    Well I'm in a much better mood than the other day! hope everyone is doing ok.

    Fannyanna, I've got loads and loads of baby stuff ready! got clothes, nappies, wipes, bottles. I also won over £200 worth of Fisher Price goodies, probably tempting fate by having it all but hey ho!

    Anyway, I wanted to ask, are the ovulation sticks off ebay any good?

    Thanks Nicki and QQ. I think I shall continue to think that it does mean I am ovulating if it gives me crosshairs.

    QQ glad to hear MIL op went well.

    You know, half of me is wondering if we need to find another donor, maybe our donor and I aren't compatible :/

    It's entirely up to you. You need to find one that you are comfortable with.
    Didn't you say he's moving to Sweden or something? In which case you do need another donor:o

    My new FS seems to think I am oving after he looked at my charts:cool: Hope he doesn't notice that I've stopped temping now:p

    After this IVF, I might move to another clinic, so I need to re-start temping:o

    I've found a nicer clinic:D They don't insist on blastocyst (one step before implantation) transfers:cool:

    Should be. It's just the egg collection though (take the egg out, fertilise with DH's swimmers and freeze it for putting it back in me next cycle).

    On my last 2 egg collections, the eggs didn't reach the blastocyst stage (just before implantation), so was no go. Hoping for a third time lucky:o

    Hi ya girls, been under a lot of stress at the moment, OV on the 10 th and only BD once this month, on the 13th, I know, I know...... But Ive only been back in the Uk for 5 wks now. Lovely weather !!!

    Waiting for OV to come, actually she is 3 days late, maybe because I am quite impatient and stressed, also have cold now..happy days...
    Hope everyone is ok xx

    p.s I have tested but so far BFN

    Hi everyone :j

    QQ glad to hear your MIL got through the op ok :)

    Fannyanna I have a few small things, wipes, nappies, tioletries etc but nothing big and ive stopped buying things now coz its hard to see them there sometimes :o

    Birdie <<hugs>> for CD1

    tinkwings I hope DD2 is feeling better!

    AFM-

    QQ can you put me at 0DPO today please? According to FF thats where I am (although still not using BBT or CBFM etc yet).
    I am however now using conceive plus stuff which is frankly quite strange! Kind of kills the moment when I have to go and "lube up" as OH calls it :rotfl:. Heard good reviews of it though so fingers crossed! Lots of Bd this month and lots of PMA. Mind you the PMa starts to run out about 2 days prior to AF showing so I need to learn to chill out a bit!

    I was right, the woman who works with me told me shes pregnant, I did take it well and now I think its a good thing, when I get my BFP I have someone who sits next to me to tell me what to expect etc! See, LOTS of PMA :D

    I used the ones of ebay and they pinpointed ovulation for me each time however they never went as dark as they were meant to. If I had a light line then I took that as OV and my chart confirmed it shortly after. (as did both pregnancies)

    I didn't necessarily follow all the instructions correctly though with the holding of the pee and resting etc so that may be why they never went as dark as the control line.
