    Morning all. Not long until Christmas.
    visited docs yesterday and he was not worried. He will check my cervix after AF visits next week. He said it could be my hormones. No more bleeding since Tuesdays 2nd bleed but I have a bad stomach and a heavy cramping feeling. Oh well who said ttcing is easy.

    Hugs Flee - at least if the doctors not worried all should be ok and it should settle down.

    Pleased the filling went well bigzippy and that you found a new dentist for MIL. Hope your nerves settle down soon. I think you're very brave in the way you deal with your condition. Would something like a TENS machine help at all or is the pain too all over to be helped like this? Hope you're tucked up soundly asleep now and that this helps you.

    I'm pleased that the doctor is not worried Flee. Hope your cramping goes away soon. My spotting has got heavier too, but not quite full flow yet, but think tomorrow will be the day (if not later on today), making this a 25/26-day cycle instead of 27 this month. Looks like you'll be able to take me off the testing list QQ.

    Hope you have a nice time in your hometown emsbet, and that you manage to sleep well. I've also noticed that pre-ovulation is when I seem to have the most disturbed nights' sleep, and post-ovulation, it seems to get better. I only noticed this as someone (may have been bigzippy) pointed this out the other month.

    Moon came home from work last night, and told me that he's got to go away on a course in the West Midlands for a couple of days in the new year. :( (In the 9.5 years we've been together, we've only spent 6 nights apart, so I'm going to miss him terribly. I may join the night-time crew on here on those days.) There were 2 alternative dates, and after getting over the upset of him being away, the first thing I did was work out when ovulation etc is likely to be, to establish when would be the best time for him to be away. I just hope nothing goes dramatically different with my cycles in between.

    Well I suppose I'd better go and get some breakfast and get dressed. I'm spending the afternoon with my Mum (she's getting very stressed about making my Nana's potentially last Christmas perfect, so I'm going to help her do some of her present wrapping and keep her company), and I've got to pop to the supermarket again at some point to get us something that we can eat and cook quickly for dinner as we're going to carols at our local pub tonight.

    Hugs for all who need or want them.

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Does your DH find it easier (less pressurised) to BD now you've decided to go for the IVF or is he still limited to how often he can do it?

    BezzyK, your chart is looking good:cool:
    Gizmodo, could you be 11DPO?
    Squ1rrels, are you temping OK? Do you have enough saliva when you temp? It seems a bit on the low side?

    Hi QQ, I am taking a relaxed approach this month... because I now think I didn't Ov and having done about a million tests I've decided to try and relax and enjoy Christmas and being able to have a few drinks. Mission ttc starts in Jan when I will be giving up the booze, detoxing and trying to lose weight! I will start temping again officially in the New Year!!

    Before I get carried away with all things Christmas, just wanted to thank you QQ for all the hard work you put into this thread, and keeping an eye on us all! I know its appreciated by everyone on here so massive hugs and thank yous all round!! :T

    I think he is still limited, as he needs to produce another batch to freeze sometime this week or the next:D I hope he realises another batch = 8 IVFs:p

    Thanks, let's all meet up on the parents thread in the near future:j
  • Thanks everyone :) It's very exciting, but because of what happened last time I'm going to try not to get ahead of myself - take it a week at a time.

    So, I'm off to curl up under my desk and have a nap (seriously, I'm SO TIRED), and will see you all on the other side! [STRIKE]Because I won't carry on lurking here, oh no...[/STRIKE]
  • :wave: everybody. I've been missing in action too (without much action). I've been caught up a bit by another forum (not really a ttc forum - bigz will understand - related to our silly o'clock pm's) so have been keeping an eye on you all but didn't feel up to posting. Still no ov (unless it's slipped by without me noticing) so nothing ttc to report.

    I'd like to second Squ1rrel5's post. QQ you do a brilliant job updating the lists all the time. If I forget to keep track of what CD I'm on I only have to look on here to know where I'm up to! I don't post that regurlarly (although I read most days) but when I do you (and others including emsbet) always take time to respond to my posts which is lovely. So thank you :smiley:

    Ahh I want to join in with the QQ love! I'd have no idea what silly number CD I was on if it weren't for your lists! :D
