    Ooh! Only just noticed that! :eek::rotfl:

    Am tying myself in absolute knots about this stupid hycosy:mad:. Wish I had a crystal ball so I could tell if AF will have been and gone by next Wednesday. Keep waking up in a panic about whether I need to move the appt.


    We could TRIPLE the May BFP's if someone is smiling on us this week and solve your hycosy dilemma too!

    All this sunshine is giving me some major PMA:beer:

    Morning ladies.

    I had a good old cry last night about how horrible my job (and boss) are, so cheered myself up today by buying that KitchenAid. *sigh* It's only money right?

    Good luck to those testing on Friday and to you QQ - it's all so exciting. No BFP's this month is a travesty! Clearly June is going to be where it's at!

    Tea Lover - TEST! :D You might get the answers you're looking for and be able to cancel it today :D

    QQ - What are the qualifying criteria for IVF? Do both parents have to be childless? I *hope* I won't ever need it, but was just curious.

    MVF - Welcome. I'm like you - like to pee on sticks of all varieties. That said, the financial cost is starting top hurt a little bit now so I am exercising more self control. Sort of. I too an concerned I'm not ovulating and have an appointment with my GP on Thursday morning (meaning i'll be late for work...shame). I know s/he'll tell me to go away and come back in 6 months but given my previous pregnancy problems they might take more pity. Won't know unless I ask.

    MrsJ - Get BD'ing (but of course you're not actually trying this month, right? ;))

    Nigella - Welcome also. In the nicest possible way, I hope you aren't with us long :)

    Can someone just have a quick nosey at my chart. Does my temp dip yesterday just look like a 1 off? Maybe I was just cold when I woke up? Or could it have been possible ov? I guess I need to see what my temp does tomorrow. The temp on CD1 is still on the come-down from last cycle so I'm ignoring it.

    Oooo, also, a friend of mine had her baby this morning - Sophia Marie. 10lb 4oz :O

    Hi all

    I've been MIA for a little while due to a sick DS and chaos at work. Life seems to have calmed down now though :) I was hoping to come back to a huge list of BFPs, but I guess we're all saving them for June ;)

    I've had a quick skim back, but not had a chance to catch up properly (especially as I'm supposed to be working!)

    Good luck for Friday QQ.

    Fingers crossed for you Skintchick.

    And good news about the lap TTC.

    Enjoy your KitchenAid, Lilymay. I got a Kenwood Chef a few weeks ago and I LOVE it! :D

    As for me, AF finally turned up, so I am CD10 today. FF reckon's I'll ov on Thursday, but since I haven't been temping regularly that can only be a rough guess based on the 3 cycles I've previously put in there, which vary from 24 to 30 days and only 2 of which show signs of ov. I noticed a bit of EWCM yesterday though, so FF might have a point. We BD last night and I've told DH we will need to BD tomorrow and Thursday as well. He's quite pleased about this ;)

    If we don't catch the sticky egg this time, I might invest in some clearblue OPKs for the next cycle. Temping worked for me last time, but I'm just useless at remembering to do it as soon as I wake up these days :o

    I like your thinking :j

    The sun is shining.... we're all fertile.... no one needs to have any sticks poked up their tubes.... and the MASSIVE amount of chocolate I've eaten in the last 2 days had no calories in at all :D

    my last af was three or four days early, although very very light, almost spotting and really hit in on the day it should have been due. I therefore am either cd27 or cd23... I'm not quite sure! I had a big fat positive on my ovulation kit on cd16 or cd13 depending which ones right an bd'd (I live that phrase by the way) the day before this and the day after.
    You should count the full flow red AF as CD1, so I'd say you are CD23 and you ov'd on CD13, so are 10DPO:)
    I like many others can't resist peeing on a stick!
    :rotfl: I'm proud to say I have not tested at all this year:cool:

    Tea lover, hang in there:o
    lilymay, yay for the Kitchenmaid:j
    I try to buy treats whenever AF arrives:cool:
    Next AF will obviously not come this year:whistle: But if it did, you can be sure I'll make a huge dent on DH's credit card:p

    Strike that, I'm expecting an AF on Friday:rotfl:

    As for the NHS IVF qualifying criteria, you can't have it if you have children, even if it was from your or DH's previous relationship. Also BMI needs to be under a certain number (30 or 25) and the age obviously:o

    Some PCT won't accept you if you have had a private fertility treatment before (not sure how they find that out if it was done overseas?).

    But don't think about that, you'll be pg in no time:j Remember, it worked before, it will again:) Relaaaaaaaax!

    As for your FF, I think it was an one off:o
    And I like your name Lily too:cool:
    BigBird, welcome back:wave:
    I don't seem to have your FF address:huh:
