    mogwai - as the others have said, the US is fine. Nowhere near as bad as a smear. I had one the other week at the FS appt and was in and out of the room so quickly OH didn't believe me! He hadn't even finished writing the address on one form by the time I was back in the waiting room.
    vesper - pants news about the fine and less overtime/money but I guess it could have been worse. Hugs for you both.
    lilymay - we're doing our driveway too. Or we will be if we ever have any money. We had to dig it up when we first moved and it's now got a temporary tarmac cover on (which has been 'temporary' for over year now). We look like right tramps lol.
    mfw - good luck with the sewing machine.

    AFM, still spotting but no sign of anything remotely red yet.

    Vesper - that's good news even thought it's expensive good news!

    Lily - do you feel old when you get excited about things like driveways! I got excited by curtains the other day and thought, hmmmm, I'm def in my 30's now!

    Tea Lover - is such spotting normal for you?

    AFM - CD27 and AF due today or tomorrow. Have that horrible achy feeling in my lower back that normally preceeds AF. Wish I just knew either way but I promised myself I wouldn't test till tommorow and I'm quite proud of myself for resisting - It's the 1st month I've not tested way early!

    Yup - it's a right PITA. Another wonderful side effect of endo. Up to three days of spotting at the beginning and end of AF, and 7 days of AF itself. In some ways it's a good thing that I have long cycles or the whole thing would just be AF lol.

    Really hope the back ache is a pg sign and not an AF one. :)

    Oooh fab! We had our honeymoon there last year, it was amazing! Make sure you go to guest services in the Disney parks and get a Just Married badge, everyone looks out for them and congratulates you, it's lovely! It helped that I wore the bride Minnie ears (complete with veil) too! :D We loved it so much we would be quite happy to go back every year. OH wasn't too bothered before going (I'd been a few times when I was younger) but now whenever we talk about going on holiday somewhere he's like, 'Or... for the same money we could go to Florida, and why wouldn't we want to do that?!' ;) We're hoping to go in October for Halloween. :)

    Oooo exciting! I have my badges already ;) a friend got them for me!

    We have a Disny honeymoon gift list and Minnie ears are on it!

    Quick post, better do register.... have a lovely day all!

    9 DAYS!
    First baby due 3/3/14 - Team Yellow! Our little girl born 25/2/14 :D

    Can anyone help with any experience of this please? I will try and get hold of the hospital but I don't always understand what they're saying lol.

    I know that I absolutely can't be pg when I have the hycosy (which is fine, cos I'm absolutely not). The dye they use is toxic so they were very definite about that. What I didn't quite get was does that mean I should then wait a whole extra cycle - ie. do I need another AF after the hycosy before we can try again?

    Obviously I can ask them this again at the appt but I just wondered if anyone knew. TIA.

    Birdie85 Try to stay outdoors as much as possible and do it for 5 days. I think last time I've ov day 4 after I stopped using the mask. After you ov, please use your mask again until...your ov again or you're 12 weeks pregnant :rotfl:. I still use mine and I just CAN'T imagine sleeping without it :D.

    Just take advantage of the lovely weather and you might ov this week :j. Fingers crossed.

    Will do! Was out for a couple of hours after work since it was so nice and will be doing the same for as long as it's nice! :) Will be difficult to do when it's all rainy though! :p

    LOL, I got excited about a kettle a couple of weeks ago and it hit me that I'm an old married woman now! :rotfl:

    Good-ish news for your OH Vesper, hope the money woes don't last for too long. :)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Morning all!

    Mogwai - that transvaginal thing doesn't sound like great fun but it will probablu be like everything else - the thought is far worse than actually doing it.

    Tinks, I love all the stuff you make - is it your business or your hobby?

    LilyMay and Birdie85 - I realised I was "grown-up" when I "treated myself" to a house&home type magazine to get decorating inspiration lol

    Ooo, Becca, you're another teacher! What do you teach?

    QQ, not long till your appointment now!!!

    Ok, so after feeling sick all day Tuesday I mentioned it to DH who pointed out I had had reheated carbonara for dinner on Monday and that could have given me a dodgy tummy. Felt a little sick yesterday morning but put that down to not having time for breakfast (and I have to have my breakfast!). Then this morning I was actually sick! It could be that I am over-tired (I usually feel sick and on one or two occassions I have actually been sick, like this morning). However, although I can think of a logical explanation for all three days, I keep thinking "its too much of a coincidence... I might be pg..."! Text DH this morning to say I had been sick but could be because of tiredness and he text back straight away asking if I was going to test. Told him I can't as had already missed FMU. Gonna try and hold out till Saturday to see if it was just coincidence or if I feel sick again tomorrow....

    Fingers crossed Walby! That sounds promising.

    If I was ever sick I would know I was pregnant because I've never been sick in my life apart from one or two self inflicted alcholic reasons!

    Hello All

    I have decided to leave my wife cause her BBT chart is full of rocky spikes . I thought bbt chart was suppose to be similar to a FTSE 100 shares chart ( slow up or downward trend) but the up and down nature of the chart is drving me crazy. I feel like i am loosing money every day.

    Help me before i instruct my solicitor to write her.
    I owe £3233 @ 0%
