    Tea lover, I only had HSG, but I was told not to come if there was even a bit of spotting but I went anyway, and it was fine:p

    Thanks QQ. At this rate I'm going to have to go just to tell them that I can't go. Am absolutely fuming. Have been calling for days and left loads of messages but have heard nothing back. So much for their 'patient care charter'.

    Am so cross that I've had to rearrange work around this, and now we don't have an appt for OH's SA as weren't supposed to be going to the appt tomorrow. OH is working, so I have to go on my own. So I have to get all the way over there (hospital is miles away) just to be sent home as they can't be arsed to return their calls.

    Ok, off to find an ice lolly to calm me down. I swear I could kill someone right now. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    I hope they can go ahead with the Hycosy Tea, if they say they can't then kick up a fuss and ask to speak to the person in charge and let them know how they've let you down with their non-existant communication. It's not good at all that you've been put in this position. Even if they do it with no issues, still complain. It might help them to improve so it doesn't happen again. :)

    I can't get the little baby from this morning out of my head. It just felt so natural and comforting to hold her. I used to be terrible with babies, no idea how to hold them, constantly worried they were going to be sick or poop... but now it just seems to feel right. Clearly a sign that I'm ready for my own little ones! :)

    Getting one step closer to our holiday later this year, I've finally got OH properly convinced that we should go to Disney World whatever happens, and with or without my family, so I've got the go-ahead to shop around for hotels and we're going to book in a couple of months time when we've had a big cheque through from our company share save scheme. :j I'm planning to have to sit-out the scary rides and will be spending my money on baby clothes rather than things for me... because I WILL be pregnant! :D (Enough PMA?!;))

    Welcome back Lily_The_Legend :wave: I hope you don't have to hang around long, hopefully it was all the stress of your old job that was holding things up. Enjoy writing your book whilst you have the free time! :)

    Thanks Birdie. Hope you get a BFP soon :)

    Welcome back Lily the legend.

    I spoke too soon yesterday, I have sore b00bs today, a sign of AF arriving.

    Thank you Flee. Fingers crossed it's not AF!

    I know that work can get very stressful. I had really stressful day yesterday and today, but it's all sorted for now:o Glad you had the courage to give it up, fingers crossed you'll catch the egg this cycle:)

    Thank you :) Sorry to hear you've been having a stressful time.

    I think that this lunaception is working, yesterday I had EWCM and I did an OPK this morning (I know you're not supposed to use FMU but I forgot to do it yesterday afternoon so thought I'd give it a go!) and got a faint positive, which I read as positive as I've never had a proper dark line on one. I'm shocked! OH was too tired/hot/hayfevery last night to BD (I was too TBH so can't blame it all on him :o) so will try for a lunchtuime quickie. In a funny way I'm not 100% bothered about catching this cycle as I'm really intrigued to find out what length my cycle will be with this little experiment. :) That's very sad isn't it?! :o

    I haven't seen/heard the news this morning Lilymay, that's very sad though :(
    :j:j:j So happy to hear that. I still can't belive it works :D.

    I love it, maybe I should start trying to focus on that.

    Hi btw, another Lily, hurray!

    Am I right in thinking that my CBFM might give me a whole load of 'highs' as it tries to work out my cycle? The 'high' test stick doesn't look any different to the 'low' ones previously, except maybe that the dark line is a little bit lighter (but only visible if you really look).

    I did an IC OPK before and left it in the bathroom. OH went in for a bath and got so excited when he thought it was a pg test :( I felt rubbish telling him it wasn't a BFP. Hope I can give him that good news on our anniversary.
    On a + note, OH had this induction at work and he is so excited about starting tomorrow! I am so pleased he has finally found something that ignites the fire in his belly again. He is so keen to get back into machiney and mechanics and apparently there will be lots of opportunities for that with RM.

    Birdie - DS has started crawling and I found his first tooth today :( I had a little cry because he is growing up and I don't want him to. I just want to have baby after baby after baby. I hope you have your own lovely 3 week old soon :A

    Tea - I have no experience, but I agree with QQ. Go anyway and kick up a fuss if needs be. Are you having it done on the NHS?

    Tink - You are bunting mad!

    Blacksta - QQ meant that you shouldn't change temping method until you are on CD1 of the new cycle (so when your wife starts AF). How long are your wifes cycles usually? Do you know for sure when she ov'ed?

    Flee - Good luck for Saturday. Let's hope you are the 1st of the June BFP's! (of which I am clearly going to be one...!)

    Tattoo, Secrets, Blacksta, Pie and Mog - When are you all testing? I don't know your individual cycle lengths, but a lot of you are weeey past 14dpo (which is a lot longer than I can ever wait :rotfl:)

    I wonder if the lunaception thing is due to the higher levels of Vitamin D. After all, going back, we used to sleep in the dark and wake with the light. I use a Lumie light all the time and am evil if I have to be woken with a beeping alarm.
    Hope that goes in my favour when TTC :)

    Oooo, before I forget.

    I have started taking Vitamin B12 Complex after I read somewhere that it could help with TTC.

    What is it supposed to do? Is it supposed to lengthen the leutal phase? Or make you ov earlier or what? I don't remember :o
