Thanks BFN :(

Knew it would be not enough BDing this cycle .

Hugs too. It is hard these first few cycles. Maybe look at it in your own head as a cycle when you were focussing on taking your vitamins and letting your cycle get back into complete synch in time for a Christmas conception? The months I personally find hardest are the ones where you know you have timed things perfectly but it is still BFN.

We have had a dramatic morning today. DD for reasons best known to herself opened the floor level cupboard where we keep all our ceramic casserole dishes, serving dishes, etc and must have overbalanced the stack as most of them are in tiny pieces on the floor! We had quite a few to be fair, but now only about 3 intact all mismatched. Most of them were bought however either when I was a student, or were given to us as wedding presents, so although they were all in good clean condition and used regularly, were between 25 and 20 years old, so I do feel I got my money's worth from them! So am off later today to restock with some nice new ones which may even, shock horror, match my plates and kitchen. So it is an ill wind I guess, though I would have preferred not to have to do the clean up operation which was substantial!

OH and DS1 are also scheming about tomorrow which is my birthday, so am holding my breath waiting to hear what they come up with. An 11 year old's idea of an amazing day isn't always the same as a 40 somethings cough cough, so I could end up rollerskating round the park or something!

Thank you Honey :A

Good to hear DD was ok xx

OMG, Rebekah, you're hard core! :rotfl: I'm pretty flexible but that doesn't sound too comfy, lol. Will have to try it next time, though I'd be afraid to have DH erm 'finish me off' after for fear of spilling any little spermies out, LOL.

*hugs for tinkwings who is feeling blue*

Welcome Lucy!

Thanks Still no bleeding this morning so looking good!

The first gynae was rather grossly graphic about the endometrial layer growing to the point of avalanche _pale_

Do you know how long your referral to the gynae will take to come through?

I have an appointment already!! A friend of ours works at our GP surgery, and knew we were going for this referral, so she text me yesterday first thing..... she's pushed it through and went online for us yesterday and booked us in on a cancellation for 24th November!! :shocked:

I'm officially freaked out!

2 hours under local sounds :eek: Does this mean she won't need a general anaesthetic now though? If so then that's better safety wise I would think? Although not nice!

I hope it all goes well for her. Do you know when it will be?

Yeh it's better safety wise, but can't be a pleasant experience! _pale_

Not sure when it will be other than when she's recovered from the stroke; could be 2 weeks, could be 6weeks... And when she's recovered from having it done on the left side, she'll be having the same thing done again on the right side too! _pale_

My thoughts are with the whole zippy family

xx

Thank you

Thanks It's not really the right place for the maudlin topics I have though, I don't think. I don't think my AF hormones are helping either. I'm also not ready to venture to the TTC 12months+ thread either, that seems very scary... _pale_
How long is "longer than average"? Are they pretty regular?
Good luck with the viewing :j

Thanks! Just waiting for them to arrive.

My cycles are not what I would call regular, longest one this year was 90+ days, usually between 33 and 50 ish days. Not great for TTC, but used to love not having regular periods as I hate them!

Do you know why your cycles are irregular? Have you recently come off the pill or something?

Do you mean what is the test called I think it is Clear Blue Digital and it says 1-2 3-4 etc
Not sure where is cheapest, our nearest was Tesco and it was £8.97

So reassuring but be warned the words go away after 24 hours lol :cool:

Right I got carried away! :eek: I have 2 x superdrug tests and 2 x clearblue :rotfl: I couldn't justify not getting 2 as both really were cheaper to get 2 rather than one. Esp on clear blue that was like £10 for 1 or £12 for 2 or something similar in superdrugs. I might be offering them out to you lot later :rotfl:

Welcome Lucy!

That is why you get the pillow under you first You could alternatively just have the pillow and your legs up the wall and him just do it that way.

Europa, great news on tlp!:j

2ba3c, good luck on Soy, we are just one day apart Soy/cycle buddy!:beer:
Any Soy SS? I think I can feel my ovaries waking up:p
Don't know about alcohol and Soy, I don't drink anyway:o
Soy can shorten and/or lengthen cycles:o I'm hoping it'll shorten mine:p
How did you lose 7000 emails?:shocked:

Yey soy buddies! :beer:

The only only difference I can see, and I'm not entirely sure if it is the soy, is that I am a walking HORN machine at the moment and have been jumping DW at every available opportunity! Shame it doesn't help with the baby making!

I didnt end up drinking last night - but I will have a couple tonight at a gig we are going to.

And I dont know! Im usually so good with IT, but the I.T. gods were definitely conspiring against me yesterday!!

How many mg have you been taking QQ?

GemmaE

bigzippy- I'm not sure why, I've always been irregular. I went on the pill at 14 to regulate my periods and was on it on and off until last christmas and haven't been taking anything at all this year. Not sure if it is something to worry about ie, maybe I'm not ovulating, or just frustrating. I mentioned it to my doctor last time I went (when I hadn't had AF for over 90 days) but she didn't really say anything helpful, apart from to suggest going on the pill for a month to try and kick start my cycle again, but that would stop TTC anyway.

Sorry to go on about it, I know its pretty minor compared to what some of you on here are going through.

Hugs to those that need them xx

Everyone has been very quiet this afternoon. I've had to spend the last half hour over on Old Style getting advice about which casserole dishes I should buy to replace my wreckage this morning

Not that that wasn't enjoyable in its own right, but nowhere nearly as educational as Rebekah's posts this morning

Hope tinks is feeling better tonight, and that emsbet is still spotting free. I've had a good day today, and am doing my best not to symptom spot but will be a mad old bird by the time testing time comes around. FF is suggesting I wait another fortnight from tomorrow before testing, when I will be 19dpo and in its view most likely to get a reliable result. Yeah right! If I manage to hold out until 14dpo I will consider I have done well, and on the remote chance I get a BFP I plan to have seen my doctor already before they suggest I test
