    Birdie - our lives seem very similar at the moment! We have also just brought a new car that has 5 doors :) What did you get? Exciting isn't it. Sorry to hear about BFN, fingers crossed it's just a little too early.

    That is a bit spooky! We've got a Peugeot 307 :) It's my first Diesel car, I'm terrified I'll put petrol in it the first time I fill it! :p
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    oh and i haven't bd yet at all since af finished as he wants to have the most potent up there on the first time we do it

    He needs to masturbate or something a few days before ov hun because after a week or so his sperm won't actually be that potent. After about a day of abstinence for men with low sperm counts/fertility problems the sperm begins to change shape etc, i.e go bad and become less mobile. That's why the SMEP recommends people BD every other day..

    Hello,
    Hope everyone is enjoying their saturdays!

    Just an update still no AF so 4 days late now. Had really sore boobs last night worse than the normal af symptoms. No other AF symptoms other than that. I had a pulling feeling not painful but i knew it was there (if that makes any sense) down in the pelvic area.

    I'm trying not look into it too much but this is really weird for me to be this late. Roll on monday morning to do another test.

    I've had my diesel for a year now and I'm still petrified of that! I stand there saying diesel diesel diesel diesel to myself, then once the nozzle is in I say black nozzle in black car black nozzle in black car, and then i always get a receipt so I don't panic later on :rotfl:
    I know they say the petrol nozzle shouldn't fit but DH says its the other way round, the diesel nozzle is too wide to fir a petrol but petrol being thinner can go in a diesel. So I'm always worried he's right!

    Still in my PJs, just had a four hour nap. Clearly needed it!

    Ooh and last night I fell in the shower and hit my thigh on the tap. It's a massive egg now. So I'm buying a bath mat tomorrow, managed to tell DH we have to go to b and q so I can dream of kitche s and bathrooms for our future home. Gosh I'm sad... X x

    I find that our bath does nothing but causes more slips in the showers, i'm not very sure footed anyway and when i get in the shower i have a slip and slide session,

    we got the bath mat that looked like pebbles and when u stand on it you and it go to the other end of the bath away from the water were you want to be very frustrating or the mat curls up under your feet so when you go for the shower gel you fall over the mat, you then get so annoyed you move the mat out of the bath as u don't want to end up in A & E

    many a time i have ended up conking my head on the wall or my elbows and thighs to the point of me looking like i have been in a fight and I've come off worse

    luckily no one has ever asked questions :rotfl:

    Now when I get in the shower i have to have the oh in there to help me in and out of the bath as we have a shower over our bath so we can still have baths if need be, he then has to help us out of the shower as the flooring is lino and gets very slippy when the smallest amount of water touches it so you then end up in a heap behind the bathroom door which opens inwards so you then get bonked on the head when oh comes to check on you :D

    Hi all and hello to the newbies:j

    Been awol for a few days because as QQ suggests its now CD41:o. Really disappointed. Only my second proper cycle after stopping the pill, 1st being 30 days.
    Got +ve opk on CD 19 so assumed that was ov but got proper ewcm around CD25. No af and all -ve hpts. I guess this was maybe an anovulatory cycle? googled it this afternoon and now have all sorts of ideas in my head!

    Anyone had anything similar? Af was always regular before i went on the pill and just worried it might not be after.

    Loving the car talk. I was the same. Made OH upgrade to a 5 door diesel in Jan but since then ive been the one driving it cause its loads better than mine! I have a 1l petrol so he really hates driving it!
