    I've been Money Tipped!
    Haha code that made me chuckle. Newborns are boring but very cute! They eat, sleep & poo. But I'm sure it's all worth it. Fwiw I work with 9-10 year olds & they are lovely :)

    Time to deal

    Thank you for doing the lust. Yes I would like to stay on the list please.

    This cycle I'm being more relaxed. No temping and maybe no opks too! It's making little difference when I do these things so I doubt there's much to lose by not doing them iyswim.

    It has now been over two and a half years since I started ttc. Since I've had 2 mcs in that time, I don't qualify for help re fertility and because its 'only' 2 mcs, I don't qualify for recurrent mc help either. Grrrr!

    It'll all be worth it one day though! X

    Code - When you have your own baby, I'm sure you will love it as a newborn and be amazing at the lickle faces it pulls, and when it grasps your fingers, and the little chuckles it does. We'll just skip past the smelly poos and keeping you up in the night for now... The jury is out for me tho on 10 year olds +. Will let you know in 3.5 years :p

    Vic3 - Step away from google :naughty: Hopefully your luteal phase will sort itself out this month. Might be worth going to have a word with the docs if it is the same again tho. They're doing blood tests on me at the mo to check for ovulation etc.

    Marie, fingers crossed for you that you get a christmas BFP and it will help with the sadness of your journey so far :o

    Becca - How you doing now after your cry?

    Lol- I should've known better! I've had some blood tests. They all came back normal.

    Vic - Thats encouraging if the blood tests are normal. I came off the pill 14 months ago too and my cycles are still all over the place - most frustrating. Are you temping as well as OPKs? OPKs don't suit everyone thats all. Sometimes they don't pick up the surge as the surge can be a small window in some people so if you only do them once a day you could miss it. In my case I kept on getting loads of positives, so I think I need a higher sensitivity. I'm meant to be temping again this month, but I keep forgetting to do it when I wake up :o

    Whoever it was who was asking about microgynen btw, thats what I was on. I was on it for 8 years, came off it and got pregnant with DD on the first cycle, went back on it for 4 years and came off it 14 months ago. It took 5 cycles to get a BFP that time, which I sadly miscarried. Like I was just saying to Vic, my cycle lengths are still really irregular all this time on.

    Hey ladies

    Maire I'm trying the same approach this month - altho I have got some opks in as I'm sure I wont be able to help myself.

    I'm still very unsure about my luteal phase - seems to be 10 days and has been for past 4 months at least - not convinced this is long enough. That combined with late ovulation is making me more worried!! If nothing has happened then a visit to docs in the new year is in order.

    Hugs to all xxx

    PS I'm with you code - children past the age of 10 are not my favourite either!!

    Thanks for the lists, looks like an awful lot of work which is partly why I haven't volunteered! :o I may ask to be taken off in a few days though. I won't be doing a pg test any time soon, I'm aiming to get to 12weeks without testing actually :rotfl: Probably won't get quite that far but I don't really see what the advantage would be to knowing I'm pg rather than just thinking I'm having a stupid cycle. Does that make me sound insane? Er, yes, I think it does! :rotfl:

    Sorry for all the sadness around at the moment. In about 6 weeks' time the first very early signs of spring will start appearing, that's not so very long. Less than a month until shortest day too, changes are just around the corner :cool:


    Love the hair MV. I bought some dye recently too but I'm too scared to use it in case it goes wrong. I have visions of standing in front of 30 teenagers going 'er, miss...' :eek::rotfl:

    So full of cold this evening, feel rubbish. Rain hammering down on the windows too. Urgh.

    I've pretty much stopped going on FB, the constant stream of baby related news does get really trying doesn't it.
    Updating soon...
