    The only thing I know that brings a AF is sex. But somehow I don't think that's what you meant fannyanna ;D

    I think my Husband would be happy with that advice though :rotfl:
    Almost spat my tea over my monitor this morning. Email from my brother: "Are you pregnant?"

    He got a one worded (with caps lock on) answer. NO!

    Do you know what would make him think that?

    ((hugs)) - some people's tact is amazing. My MIL wrote on one of her friend's facebook walls the other day about how much she wants grandchildren - and that her son has been married for a number of years, so 'here's hoping'. If only 'hoping' got you pregnant.

    I don't normally get that question from my brother though. It's only ever my mum. And normally in context. Quite often I go round and help mum with gardening (including shifting 2 tonnes of topsoil) so before I use the wheelbarrow she checks I'm clear for heavy lifting.

    Apparently my nephew has told my brother he's getting a new cousin soon.

    My daughter thinks you have to wish really hard and then if you are lucky you might get a baby in your tummy :o Maybe yr MIL isn't sure how it all works either ;):rotfl:

    Sorry about the awkwards questions/comments though COMP and MrsJ!

    Thanks Birdie - I haven't really had to deal with too many of them thankfully, but my MIL is starting to put the pressure on - she was asking DH the other day when we're going to think about having children, and how nice it would be to have grandchildren. I don't really want them to know we're trying or about the potential PCOS, but at the same time I think it might be an idea for DH to have a quiet word with her so that she stops making comments. It makes me feel like a bit of a failure, which DH assures me I am not, but hey ho I am a hormonal woman so I think it's only natural to feel that way!

    Hello girls, well I started off with 10 eggs, now it's down to just 2:(
    It is not looking good, perhaps I should've cancelled this egg collection when I started doubting the egg quality.

    Never mind, what's done is done, if I didn't go ahead with this, then I may have always wondered what would have happened had I gone ahead with the egg collection:o

    atton, I'd BD if you have ewcm. Don't rely on OPKs:cool:
    Tinkwings, that bag looks fab:)
    Massive hugs for CD1:(
    smiley_hug.gif
    lemonmelon, I will see DH tomorrow:)
    We'll do ttc the old fashioned way (with OPKs and CBFM) in the meantime:o
    mrsj28, good luck with PCOS scan, mine's gone for now. I suppose it can come and go:o
    mogwai, welcome back:wave:
    Any piccie?
    Hope TTC without OPKs etc will do the trick this month.
    I may try that myself this month. Will do the lunar conception though:p
    Birdie, glad you had a nice none TTC BDing:)
    Also yay for your DH agreeing with doing some tests:cool:
    TeamLowe, could it be pre-AF spotting? Or perhaps you didn't ov last cycle?
    niknok, have you tested just in case?
    fannyanna, some say parsley tea induces AF, but I've never tried it. Supplement wise, agnus castus?
    Can't you ask your doctor for provera or something like that to induce af?
    vesper, good luck with the house viewing:)
    COMP, lol at your brother's question:rotfl:
    abis, your DD is so sweet:happyhear
