    Hugs to all those that AF got this month. Sorry to hear the BFN Becca.

    Anyone else find when they stopped the pill they had loads of spots?

    Mrs T M - not sure if you've already said, but did you tell your GP about the mid cycle spotting? If not, it might be worth getting it checked out.

    Completely forgot it when I was there Monday! It's looking like it's already tapering off, so fingers crossed everything is ok. If it keeps it up or happens again during another cycle, I'll make an appointment specifically for it.

    Just did my first 45 minutes of swimming in nearly a year. Found a nice swimsuit that just fits on the clearance rack at Evans earlier today. After walking 4 miles and swimming, I'm definitely going to sleep good tonight!

    Well done Mrs T_M. It won't be long before you reach your first goal.

    Code - I could not fast for two days. I get really cranky if I miss lunch:eek:

    He just has a really low drive, and wearily doesn't seem interested during ov although the week after that he's usually really up for it. Also due to physiological issues he has a super long recovery time post sperm release so takes a while to recover. And he's quite large and lasts a very long time so I get really sore too. We are as active as we can be during ov but I tend to panic when I get ov signs and make him bd too early in case we miss it and then by the time my stupid body actually releases an egg, he's fed up with it.

    I panic as well it's hard to judge sometimes isn't it. My DH is the same - being large does not help when you're ttc does it! Once when he couldn't finish and we had to try again later that night it was hurting me quite a bit but I sort of gritted my teeth so to speak which is awful but I was desperate by that point. Sometimes I wonder how are we supposed to get pregnant with these added issues! Normally we wouldn't do it more than every other day for that very reason & when we ever hear about people doing it several times a day were always like well they clearly aren't that big! It's really not always an advantage especially when you add in the combination of an irregular cycle. I guess all you can do is some how get really good at spotting when ov is coming but that's easier said than done.

    Oh yes. And they're still here 20 months later :mad: I wish you could ttc on the pill! The lovely ladies on here suggested panoxyl which you can buy from chemist websites for nasty ones. It's quite strong but seems to work. The only good thing is I always get them as I'm approaching ovulation so I use that as a sign.

    Argh, really fed up. Two shock pregnancy announcements today, one of which I have only found out about through a friend. Shame as the one who is pregnant is supposed to be one of my closer friends.

    Well done Mrs T_M. It won't be long before you reach your first goal.

    Thanks! I hope to soon be back up to my pre-uk fitness routine. Used to do 45 min on a cross trainer, 45 minutes on a treadmill (2.7 mph, my max sustained speed due to my short legs, this will be traded out for 45 minutes on a stationary bike here since I can go outside if I want to walk), and an hour swim! I'm also keeping my calories below 1500 for now. Well, except for tomorrow. I'm probably going to be too tired to cook, so it will probably be something from the chippy. :o
