    Thanks again for all your congratulations. OH and I have decided we aren't telling anyone 'till much much later on although I somehow managed to email the pic of my test to my best friend. She's been there through all the ups and downs over the years so it just felt right.

    This was my 2nd cycle of clomid @ 100mg Teamlowe. It's designed for people like you so your optimism is well-placed :)

    Congratulations lilyMay that is the best birthday present ever!

    ChocGirl once you have a peak on your CBFM it will give you a second peak, a high and then a low so you can stop putting sticks in once you've got your first peak if you want!

    Welcome twigpig hope you have a short journey here.

    Morning all - sorry if some of this is very out of date, haven't had a chance to get on all weekend.

    code
    so sorry so hear how sad you are :( I'd echo what others have said, please do look into alternatives.

    Hugs to all on CD1 :( Onwards and upwards xx

    TeamLowe - I would have been so cross with my OH if he'd done that as well, well done for putting it behind you in preference of BDing!

    abis - I had loads of ewcm about 4 days after I would usually have ovd which is why I'm confused this month, but maybe that's normal?

    lily - HUGE congratulations! Really happy for you!

    becca - please can you update me to CD30, I have ovd but not sure when. I think about day 17 (which is late) so lets say 13dpo. My cycle is the longest it's been for ages this month so have been frantically POASing but nothing yet, even with FR test (usually use ICs). However, reading what you guys have been saying about February lengthening cycles, it makes sense!

    We can never be bothered to BD, haha - maybe I need to invest in a proper ov monitor rather than the ICs I've been using, any recommendations? Think I need to start making an effort to temp as well.

    Massive congratulations to Lilymay - what a wonderfully special birthday present - happy birthday!!! Hope everything goes really smoothly for you.

    AFM, now on CD24 and still showing a "high" on the CBFM - that's now 11 days in a row with no sign of OVing plus it makes me 8/9 days late for my "normal" cycle and no sign of AF arriving at all.

    Have decided I'm going to bite the bullet and POAS tonight when I'm home from work.

    Eeeek - I'm rather scared to be honest!:eek:

    P.s. - can I please guess 9 BFP's for March - I reckon there would have been lots of valentine's activity and we'll get a few BFP's in early to mid March :j

    Have been AWOL for a while as got married on 22nd February so it all got a bit excitable but manic! :D

    Congratulations & Happy Birthday lily!!:j:j

    Welcome twigpig hope your stay is a short one.

    Becca please can I predict 10 BFP's for March.

    Abis your face painting skills are fab! Did I read it correctly that you're teaching yourself at home? Wow!

    Birdie hope you feel better soon, boo to being at work when feeling rubbish :(

    angeltreats hope all goes well at your scan tomorrow!

    AFM I've had a cycle since being here last :o I'm CD18 awaiting OV, but suffering with a urine infection so although wanting to BD & OH being around (this in itself has been an issue in the past few months!) not sure it's the best idea :(

    What with the wedding plans and the actual day -which I have to say was absolutely perfect! :) I've been preoccupied but today I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself at not being pregnant and the highs & lows of each month.
    We haven't booked our Honeymoon yet tho and part of me is reluctant to book in Summer holidays (I'm a school teacher) as I really hope to be pregnant but feel like I put my life on hold?! How does it happen so easily for some people? My SIL is pregnant with her 4th due in July- still not officially told everyone as there are complications with her & my brother's relationship & many issues surrounding their other 3 children & I am happy for them but just wonder if I'll ever have that.
    Hate all this uncertainty- as I'm sure we all do.

    Right enough for now, off for lunch and to call the GP again.
    Hugs to all that need them, hope you're all having a good day
    Married my wonderful husband February 2013!:happyhear
    I want to wear my beautiful wedding dress everyday- it would make shopping so much more fun, I mean, people go shopping in their pyjamas these days.......
    Must STOP spending!!! :)
    Proud to be dealing with my debts!

    Good luck Gelly!! Everytihng crossed!

    A question: My cycle has been 27 days for a few cycles now. According to the CBFM I OV'd around CD20. Which I believe makes my luteal phase somewhere between 5 and 7 days.

    That seems very short? Is that perhaps why we haven't bee able to get pg before now??

    Help! Am I worrying for no reason? !!

    Woohoo! Many congratulations Lilymay! Sounds like the perfect birthday present to me. Here's to a happy but uneventful 9 months for you.

    Welcome Twigpig, hope your stay here is short and sweet.

    Congrats on getting married emylou! I'd be tempted to just go ahead and book your honeymoon for the summer - where are you thinking of going? Could you book it with an option to cancel? That way if you did get pregnant you could cancel and book somewhere over here instead. Hope the infection clears up soon too.

    Angeltreats - good luck for the scan tomorrow, hope it gives you some answers and the pain goes. I've got a persistent cyst and at certain times of my cycle it is really painful, so have every sympathy for you.

    Chocgirl - not sure about the lp sorry, but sure someone else will. Before ttc I didn't really give my cycle a second thought but now everything worries me!

    Gelly123 - good luck for poas tonight!

    AFM - no BD yesterday due to hangovers/OH smelling like a brewery gone wrong. Planning on tonight though. Hope everyone's having a good Monday.
    Hold my hand harder
    Ease my mind
    Roll down the smoke screen
    And open the sky

    Let me fly
