    Lily, I have seen lines on every test you've posted - if you are not pg I'd be writing serious letters of complaint to every single manufacturer!!!

    In other news, my body is WEIRD!!! I've been talking about using norethisterone to delay my period for my wedding next week. We get married next Tuesday (eeek!) and fly out to New York this Sunday so I was going to start taking the tablets tomorrow - if I was having a 'normal' month - whatever that is - I guessed I would be due on my wedding day so wanted to give myself a few days grace with the tablets so I definitely wasnt bleeding on the day when I'm wearing a lovely pale dress!!

    But what happens?? I get my period this morning!!! So my cycle length this month is a 'perfect' 28 days. What is going on!! I'm not complaining but its just all a bit weird. :eek: I have been eating healthier since I found out about the PCOS but I havent lost any weight or anything yet so not sure what has changed!

    I have been a little stressed this week (well majorly stressed as I had to get a new wedding dress with a week to go!) but I thought the stress would have delayed AF - no such luck! It better be gone by Tuesday or I won't be happy!!!!! :rotfl:

    LOL Tea Lover! I can see a teeny tiny line if I squint and tilt (looking on my phone since the pic won't show on my work PC). :) Keep up your PMA Lily, you'll know either way in a couple of days and there's no point getting down in the dumps just yet. You're closer than a lot of us have ever gotten! :)

    COMP, just want to send you a big squishy (hug) so here you are! :) If you need to rant just let it out on here, where else can you let the crazy go?! :)

    Not a lot going on with me. AF is on the way out but just don't feel like starting all over again! Think it might have something to do with what I'm reading; when I read romances I get really randy but right now I'm reading a book about a woman who's trapped in a loveless marriage, getting smacked and raped on a regular basis... not exactly a turn on! ;)

    I took my Mum to Be vitamins this morning and thought to myself, why have I even been bothering with this for the last 9 months?! I'm preparing my body for *nothing*! A colleague brought her baby girl in yesterday but I didn't even get a cuddle as she didn't bother to come down to our end of the office and disappeared before I could go and see her, don't people realise how desperate some people are for baby cuddles and how selfish they are for not sharing?! When I've got my baby I'll let broody women get all the cuddles and sniffs they want! :p

    Hugs for CD1 Leopard :(

    ETA: Hugs for CD1 Squirrel, maybe your body was just trying to be nice to you?! How exciting about your wedding being so close! Have you got piccies of your new dress? Why did you have to change it? :)

    My body's not normally nice to me, maybe it thought it was about time! :o

    My original dress was lovely but it was quite tight around my boobs and because it was quite a heavy material I knew it would feel really uncomfortable in the heat of new york so I had to make the decision to change it. I was really upset on Sunday when I decided but then I found a new dress on Monday which is more suitable. Well it's actually perfect and tbh, I love even more than the first one. It looked nice when I saw it but it looks amazing on and I feel a million dollars in it, something I didnt quite get with the last one so it all turned out for the best!!!

    Here's a pic of it below

    It looks nicer on than it does in the pic!! This is the 3rd dress I have bought in the last 4 months for the wedding but luckily all 3 have come in under £110 - bargain!!!!

    Oh that's really pretty Squirrel! Can't believe that you've managed to get 3 dresses for £110! Are you wearing anything on your head? A little birdcage veil would look fab! :)

    squ1rrel5 - so exciting!! Have a fabulous wedding and holiday and come back and tell us all about it soon. Hopefully AF will have cleared off by then. Your dress is amazing!
    birdie - that is v mean not sharing the cuddles! How else are we supposed to sniff newborns if people don't pass the babies around??
    leopardlady - big hugs for CD1.
    lily - any news?

    No idea what's happening with me... I think I had some EWCM earlier. Am CD14 which would be v early for me to ov, and anyway I had a scan on mon and there was no sign of anything eggy then so it can't be ready already. Will try and BD tonight just in case as then we'd have done every other day this week which seems like a good plan with a v low sperm count. Couldn't have managed it last night anyway as had to go bed early, felt so sick. Stupid metformin.

    I'm the opposite :o

    If a work colleague comes in with a baby I go out of my way to avoid them (unless it's a close colleague). I don't like having babies thrusted at me unless it's someone I'm close to.

    I'm unbelievably tired this week. I feel like I could go to bed and wake up again on Saturday. That would be quite nice actually!
