    Abis, I would agree that CD17 looks positive. I used them for the first time this month too and was really confused by them, I never got what I could call a definitely positive OPK but your "most positive" looks the same as my "most positive (also CD17, coincidentally).

    Lily - great news about your DH's SA and also about having to do lots more BDing :D

    MV and Tink - I know several people in their forties who got married in their late 30s or early 40s and had healthy pregnancies. One of my former workmates had a couple of early miscarriages at 40, just after getting married, and went on to have a healthy pregnancy at 41 and has a beautiful little girl now. You ladies are not too old by a long way.

    Tea Lover - hope the food on your course is as good as mine! I woke up today with good intentions but ended up starting with a friend breakfast and it all went downhill from there.

    AF is due today but hasn't shown up yet. I had a temp drop this morning though so think she is just biding her time. If she is going to come, I wish she'd hurry up so I can get on with being in a new cycle instead of being stuck in this one which obviously hasn't been successful. Grump grump grump. Am going to spend tonight exactly as I did last night - ordering the most expensive stuff on the menu, eating it in bed and then spending an hour lying in the bath while watching trash on Netflix :D

    time2deal - The CDs in your document made me :rotfl: Do you think there's just going to be loads of confused men or a couple of women with a knowing smile?

    It's just men now, but the document would go wider eventually so I think I have nipped it in the bud! I covered it by saying I meant working days (WD) not calendar days (CD). Smooth I thought. ;)

    I contemplated changing it to Business Days (BD's) but decided that would just make me giggle everytime!

    Amyloofoo, thanks for posting that article, at 35 I often have worries that I waited too long to start trying, but that has made me feel really positive.

    also made me notice how many of you girls are also over 35 I thought I was one of only a few on here.
    If at first you dont succeed, try, try again

    Timetodeal, that was very smooth I did lol at the thought of all these blokes wondering what cd1 meant. It just proves that we spend a lot of time thinking about ttc perhaps a little too much time. I once told a collegue that I had a stomach ache because well you know.... Auntie flo is visiting.... you should have seen the look on her face, she then said oh you mean your period. LOL

    I also noticed that you are the same age as me and have been trying for a similar amount of time, I was also ntnp for a while before we made the decision to properly try.

  • There are loads of us on early CDs, we've all synched cycles !

    AngelTreats - that's exactly how i spent a whole week last year when i was in Spain on a business trip. I always said to myself that i don't often have baths as i'm eco-friendly, but actually it's because i'm a tight-wad with my water bill, when it was the hotel paying i had a bath every night. A reeeeally deep one too.

    Glad to see lots of positive vibes on the thread :) keep it up girls !

    Hi ladies
    Car update- I have to send my immobiliser to some bloke in Essex (who has advertised on the Toyota owners forums and got good reviews) for 140 smackers to get a new key coded to it after spending 113 to get a key for the doors that won't start the engine cos the locksmith couldn't code it as the code wasn't in their database and Toyota deny you can do that and say we need a whole new system for £698.15. Chuffing bargain eh.

    DH's sample is in pathology and whilst he did ask about getting the results the only message he relayed was 'a week on Monday' sooo is that getting a letter sent then, to ring if we don't get a letter by then? No idea. This is exactly why I wanted to go with him lol

    Currently he's out buying me vodka and some nice gentleman will soon be bringing me a tikka masala so life isn't all bad x x

    Big hugs hun, hope your Essex bloke manages to sort it for you (and just think it's a bargain as you've still spent less than half of what Toyota said!)

    Vodka and curry sounds like such a good idea that I've just poured myself a g & t to go with my biryani :) As I appear to have not OVd this month then I should get the perks as well as the problems :o

    Thanks Amy, yeah it was DH who emailed him and gave him the make and model and he replied saying he could do it so fingers crossed!

    How can you drink gin? Tastes like hairspray bleuch lol but I agree, little bit of what you fancy does you good, especially if it helps PMA during the more frustrating parts of this journey :)

    Can anyone remind me what agnus castus does? I have a kindly donated bottle but I can't remember

    Also,it's only progesterone that builds your womb lining,isn't it? So if you don't Ov but take noristhisterone like I did a very light period is to be expected so you've only had five days of the lining being built up by progesterone. Sounds odd to say and slightly gross, but I don't like light periods, I think a heavy one means I'm getting a good clear out :o x
