    Ninth Anniversary Combo Breaker
    Congratulations Sequeena!!! xxx

    Have been chilling watching the tennis this afternoon, I'm not a tennis fan but OH has it on. I've been strip- cleaning the living room, have had a huge tidy up, and put two new bookcases up. Now just making tea. Finally the living room is more baby proofed for when I babysit my friend's little un.

    Was just after some advice about my hubby's cousin, we get a really really well. But I have been avoiding her as she is 25 weeks pregnant. Today is the one year anniversary since she lost her last baby, and I feel terrible as I haven't emailed her. Plus the family are starting to realise that we have pulled away from them. I was wondering if I should email her and explain that we aren't contacting her because of ignorance, or rudeness. It's just that we find it too hard and it isn't a reflection on her. She knew that we were trying, and that I had a mc several years ago.


    Oh and we have a diesel as well, a little 5 door Skoda Fabia.

    To be honest vesper, I think explanations should wait for another day, if she's upset then she's other things on her mind.
    I'd send her a quick text saying 'thinking of you' today and then maybe during the week text again to ask to meet up and then explain then. I'm sure she'll understand. If you feel strong enoigh to meet up of coirse, i just think that if you have someone who's.ovely in your life then you should try your best, lovely people are hard to come by x x

    niknok, do you have a superdrug nearby? That seems to be pretty good:) I wouldn't get clearblue until you have at least a faint positive:money:
    No SSing:naughty:
    Lilymay, you always get a + around this time. It could be a real + so I'd BD, but I still think you ov'd earlier:p
    lemonmelon, next appt is Tuesday:o
    vesper, it's up to you, but chances are she may have forgotten that it was the 1st anniversary (I forgot the 1st anniversary). She knows you are TTC so she may know why you are avoiding her:o

    thanks girls. She has remembered QQ. It's very diplomatically plastered all over facebook. I wasn't planning on contacting her today, just some time, as I won't be able to avoid her forever, and I don't want her to think it's because of her. It's not, it's my problem.

    Congrats Sequeena, and also Lilymay for a +ve OPK. Time to get busy. ;)

    I've been watching the tennis, and very sad for Andy! Next time hopefully. Our Olympic tickets are for the basketball, and I am trying to get one more park pass for that day so my Dad can come to the park with Mum and I. The park tickets either sold out immediately, or they are holding some back. Hopefully the latter.

    The aspirin seems to have worked so far. 2 days of bleeding so far, which may not sound much but last month I barely had 1 day. Never thought I would be happy to have a longer period! I can't remember if I am supposed to take it for a whole cycle, or just the second half - any advice??

    EPO was also good for easing mood swings for sure, although I can only use it for the first half this month, assuming we manage to BD at the right time. Anyway, here we go again for another month!

    Time2deal - if the basketball is in hackney/clapton, pop into the Princess of Wales pub opposite - it's really nice, just been renovated and they do lovely homemade pizzas :D

    Can all the ladies who have acupuncture give me some advice/guidance/info about it? Costs/Procedures/Usefulness etc etc etc.

    I'm really interested in trying it and there's a practice about 5 minutes from my house. £44/session. Does that sound normal?

    Edit: Also really interetsed in reflexology. Can anyone advise on that?
