    Happy Sunday everyone:wave:

    Lilymay, I'm not going to do any more IVF until at least Dec, because I have work.
    Having been Googling like mad, there seems to be some connection between frozen sperm and bad embryos. We always used frozen sperm because DH was not available:think: Perhaps I need to schedule ov with DH:cool:

    Definitely Blonde, have you tried not washing your face in the morning? Ideally you won't put make-up on, but you can if you want to. You obviously need to wash your face in the night:cool:

    Hi all,

    Thanks Lilymay for the clearblue link - I have bought a few too. Should be enough for a few months. I really should have got some more ovulation testers for CB at the same time - d'oh!

    Becca, lemonmelon, and possibly goodvibes, looks like we are cycle buddies in the 2ww this month! I know Becca is off having much more fun in Disneyland than the rest of us, but at least the weather is improving. :) Not getting pregnant has meant I can channel all my nurturing into my garden, which is looking fabulous and full of summer flowers.

    For some reason I am getting quite a bit of crampy pain today. Maybe something I ate (too much milk this morning) but I am already analysing every twinge from my body this month! I can't help but be a bit hopeful as we definately BD at all the right times, so given as good a chance as possible.

    I think we did:
    CD10: -ve OPK
    CD11: Didn't test. Had ewcm (although maybe not in hindsight). BD
    CD12: +OPK. BD
    CD13: heaps of EWCM during the day then +OPK BD that night. Maybe too late... but hopefully was ok as we BD the night before.
    CD14: No ewcm, or anything.
    CD15 (morning): BD - just for fun!

    So I think actual OV was on CD13. Does that sound right? DH has been great this week as he really wasn't in the mood on at least one of the nights, but did the job. Then I think all this BD seems to have gotten us in the mood for a bit more! TMI maybe, but good for me, as we are both feeling very happy this sunny weekend.

    Back from weekend away, it was lovely :) aberdunant country hall is amazing and wee had a wonderful time just me and him :)

    Came home via Cheshire oaks to pick up my birthday present, a nice collection of Mac make up :)

    Oh and for my skin I use lush Ocean Salt Scrub but only 2-3 times a week as it's quite harsh x x

    Oh yes I knew there was something else I was going to say............I know a few ladies here are suffering from spots and I wondered if anyone had any suggestions on products to use to get rid of them. My face looks like a kids join the dots puzzle at the moment and I am sooooo fed up with it :mad:. I am not the most confident person at the best of times and it is really starting to affect my confidence :(.

    The doctor had given me a lotion to put on my skin and I am still using it but it doesn't seem to be doing anything and is making my skin really dry. I had bought ProActive and started using that but that was during my 18 day cycle and not sure if the chemicals in it had anything to do with the 18 days (it was only 2nd cycle after mc so this is more likely the reason) but I don't want to use it now just in case.

    I have lots of spots and little bumps all over my face, any suggestions would be gratefully received.

    Some of the lovely ladies on here suggested a cream to me before which is called panoxyl and comes in different strengths Ive got the 5% one. Its quite harsh and thank god I didnt rub it all over my face because i only put it on a couple of spots and it made my skin really red, but its good for using on horrible painful ones like Ive had some on my back - before coming off the pill i hadnt had a spot o my back since I was about 14!!

    Ive also been using Simple face wipes, these ones for spots, with zinc and something else in them. And using them twice a day and my skin has been quite a lot better the past couple of weeks. And Neutogena pink grapefruit face wash, and then Neutrogena orange spot fighting face wipes on my back if needed.Im a little obsessed with fighting them lol! The Benefit foaming face wash is good too, but Im waiting for my friend to come back from hol in the US as the price here makes me weep. So its either that or Boots points to get that!

    I was thinking about trying proactive but touch wood my skin hasnt been quite as bad recently.

    Im now sat in the garden getting as much sun on my back as possible, because I know its not great for your skin but lets face it we havent had much recently and its one thing that always gets rid of spots for me.
