    I'm cramping so likely that I'm out as this is always how I am pre AF.

    TeamLowe - I had the myfitnesspal app on my phone but it seems to have vanished. I think I got fed up with it telling me to eat more.

    Just started couch 2 5k on the treadmill so feeling very proud of myself.

    hugs for maire and everyone else the witch has caught up with.

    I'm having another major down day today, I caught up on a couple of one born every minute episodes, this morning as have day off work - hubby doesn't like me watching it at moment, as it tends to upset me and yep he's right it has!

    I want a baby more then anything in the world, and its just not happening for us. Hubby has realised how much its upsetting me now, and has promised to make a docs appointment for a check on his fertility, so at least that's a positive.

    Sorry for moaning again, but I'm finding it all really hard to cope with at the moment...

    I know exactly how you feel loulou and it's rubbish . Big dodgy hugs :grouphug:

    For all of us struggling, our day will come, we will get our BFPs and babies and we'll hopefully be better mums because we had to work to get there and will understand what miracles our little ones really are.

    Thanks girls :) guess hubby knows best and I need to keep away from one born every minute!

    Should be enjoying my rare day off, not sulking around the house, but its freezing cold and pouring with rain here now, so not much to do, at least at work my minds occupied...

    Hugs to everyone whose feeling similar to me today and baby dust to all those waiting to test - we need some BFP for 2013!

    Yep definitely one to avoid when feeling broody never mind struggling to TTC!

    That, and programmes like 'I Didnt Know I Was Pregnant'.

    Hello ladies,

    Thought I would drop in to see if anyone would like my copy of
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0857830937/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00 . Someone on this thread said it was great, and it's not really of much use to me at the moment.

    I am following lots of the guidelines for IVF as I do this cycle, and so far I am responding much better than the tests suggested I would. So there maybe something in the supplements etc that it suggests!

    But, the rest is mainly natural TTC guidance which won't do us any good. And after this cycle of IVF the cancer treatment will kick in, so the book is not much use for us. Helpful for both partners, if you can get your partner to take tablets or adjust their lifestyle at all!
    PM me if you are interested. Free to a good home.

    That's pretty funny as in some ways temping is more accurate although using the opks does give you an advance warning. Oh well he doesn't have to know you wil hopefully be able to predict it from checking cm too! Mwahahaha! Plus once you've temped a few cycles you can sometimes use it to predict ov anyway!

    Hehe that's funny that's on your list :)
    I don't think he likes the idea of me knowing for sure when ov is like opks give. Temping means not knowing for sure at the time then after knowing, by which time the deed is done or not. He sees that as different and I can see where he is coming from on that one.

    I would like to go on the list. I don't know how to change the colour as am on a tablet. I believe I am on cd7 today.

    This cycle is very unlikely as OH is going to be doing a home fertility test and needs to hold off on doing stuff for the samples. Just so happens that this week is the most likely time and he's decided this week to do the test, grr. He wants to know as he had ops when he was young that can cause fertility trouble. We know the home one isn't as reliable as doctor tests but it's a starting point. His GP has already said they won't test unless we've been trying for a year even though the GP agreed there is a chance the ops could have had an effect on OH's fertility, grr. I really find it stupid that we may have to waste a full year ttc for OH to get tested properly even though they agree it is likely the ops would have had an impact.
