    Hello everyone.

    I hope you are all well.

    I'm lurking at the moment as I think I'd go a bit banana's if I posted regularly again.

    I'm having a long cycle and I'm getting a bit impatient now. I just want AF to arrive. But by the same token I'm worried about AF arriving as last time I was house bound for two days because it was so heavy.

    I'm on a "lose weight mission" again as I know that I need to lose weight to either a) kick start oulation or b) be within the BMI threshold to get clomid.

    Now that I've made my first baby clothing purchase I really do need to get on the TTC train.

    Erm, I just made the mistake of looking at the list on the first page.

    I'm coming up to the one year anniversary of starting to TTC and I still don't ovulate :wall:

    Hi ladies - I've got a quick fertility friend question which I hope somebody could help me with...

    On day 1 of this cycle (Saturday) I took my temperature later than normal (07:50) and so I think FF has set my 'hour' for temping to 7 -8 or something like that, and now my other temps (taken at the more usual times of between 06:15 and 07:15) are coming up as white circles. Is there anyway I can manually override the hour which FF has decided I will take my temps in?? Thanks in advance for any replies!

    ETA: I'm also interested to know if people think it's worth getting VIP membership on FF...

    mrj28, I took my temperature at different times each day, sometimes 6am other times 1pm and I still saw the ov change (although this isn't recommended)

    I also tempted fate and invested in the VIP Fertility friend and as soon as I did that I got a BFP that month. Would recommend it just for the tempting fate.

    On the month we got our most recent bfp, my OH had just purchased me a big bottle of vodka which he NEVER does - tempting fate worked for us too :rotfl:

    Welcome BigBird :wave:

    Big hugs Tink, maybe some time away from TTC so you can heal physically and emotionally would be a good thing? :)

    Hmmmm, I need to do something to tempt fate. Can't quite afford to book a Florida holiday yet, but we're planning on having a birthday party for me in May so I should start buying lots of booze for cocktails that only I like to drink! ;)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Thanks, Kitten Pie - hope you are getting on well.

    Right, that's it. I'm going to a) pay for VIP FF and b) paint the spare room which I have been desperate to do for ages (in blue) but DH keeps saying 'don't paint it because then you'll get pregnant and want to change the colour'.

    I think I'd be able to handle the repaint if it meant I could have a baby :D
  • Congratulations colli! Hope you have a smooth pregnancy.
