    Urgh, how frustrating TL, I'm so disappointed for you. :(

    I'm glad you've got A Plan, even though it's not what you were expecting. :o Definitely stick around though, will miss you if you go away! :)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    AFM, still in that boring waiting for OV stage. :o

    Me too! AF finished and impatiently awaiting OV.....

    Aah no, that's rubbish TL, I hope you get your appointment through soon but I'm loving the PMA of "not trying" and hopefully it will give you a bit of peace for a while (not to mention the BFP you deserve!).

    Awww, Teamlowe - I want to give you a great big squishy hug. I don't think that doctors or consultants or whoever really realise how draining this whole process is and how saying that you will get some help and then snatching it away is, well, just so horrible :(:o I'm sure if they had to go through it all themselves they would have a whole lot more empathy and be more helpful :o:o

    I'm glad you have a plan B, but I'm angry on your behalf that they stuffed up plan A for you :o:mad:

    I'm currently taking steps back from the whole TTC erm, mentality if thats the word? I am still tracking my cycles (I need to as they're so irregular) and we are still giving it some extra effort at ov time, but I'm not obsessing over it all so much these days. (Am obsessing over facepainting instead :D) I've got to say, I don't half feel a lot better for it. Its 8DPO today and I haven't even had to fight with my inner demons on whether to test or not :rotfl: DH said hes barely heard a word about it this month, and hes right, I haven't mentioned it very much at all. Altho I did look at my chart this morning and wonder if it was becoming a bit triphasic and then did some research on triphasic charts :p:rotfl:

    Becca - Big hugs for you too. I think they 1 yr mark passed me by without me noticing it, but like Claire was saying, at xmas I gave it more thought as this too will be my 3rd xmas where i will be hoping for a bump or baby :o

    Good luck with yr appt Gelly :cool:

    Skint - Did you make a decision on whether to wait to TTC so that the winter months aren't effecting you?
    :love: Married my lobster in July 2011 :love:

    TTC # 2 since Oct 2011 - good things come to those who wait :o

    :dance: 2013 is going to be our lucky year :dance:

    Huge hugs TL. It really does seem to be a postcode lottery as regards getting any sort of help, it's so unfair.

    TL - So so sorry you appointment was crappy:(. Yay for you plan, don't know what else to say. Try and stay positive Hun, at least you have time on your side. I know it is small consolationright now.

    thanks for the love ladies, and don't worry i made sure i cried and ranted in her office for a while lol and i'm not being nasty (although i am really) but she was chubby, had spots and a proper full on tash, and whilst i don't wish fertility problems on anyone i do hope one day she understands my pain as she obviously has PCOS

    Abis i'm glad 'relaxing' (i know we hate that word but no other way to describe it) has helped you, to be honest i already feel tons better than this morning now that i monumentally don't give a sh*t about the fs appointment :cool:

    Firefly you're right, i always said i wanted to be like mum and have my last child at 29 so that i'd still be young enough once they're grown to properly travel the world (i'd rather wait and do it in style than go backpacking now). now that i'm sure this is the only time we'll put this much effort into it, so probably have an only child, i'm still on track for that. the thought depressed me when i was still thinking of three but i'm managing my expectations lol.

    on the positive side we've had all the tests so we know we're ok, we've got pregnant once so we know his sperm can meet my egg. it's just getting the !!!!!!s to come out the ovary that's our problem.

    Plus if i'm honest with myself i would love to be as skinny as possible before i get pregnant, i don't want to be lectured throughout pregnancy if i can help it. whilst my sister and one of my best friends had successful pregnancies a lot bigger than me neither of them had an easy time of it and i want to enjoy my once in a lifetime time of deserving flowers lol

    although i am taking a week off from the diet, today's dinner was starbucks latte and cinammon roll, taste the difference lemonade, prawn cocktail crisps and i did buy two creme eggs but not eat them yet.
    going to start to c25k next week (for the umpteenth time) along with my weight training, i'd take a break from that too but i know getting out of the habit is dangerous for me

    i have a feeling my cycles will get naturally better as they seem to be in summer and go pap in winter, this cycle already has ewcm a heck of a lot sooner than others, not that i know what's going on at the minute. but i don't need to :)

    Quick question: what are the chances of getting two evap lines on two separate (different branded) tests that were taken at the same time? I can't tell if they're pink or not, but I took them and then promptly fell asleep. When I woke up an hour later, they were there.... I'm 9dpo, so I know I shouldn't be testing this early, but I'm having a health check at the gym tomorrow, so if I am, they will need to know.

    I have NOT told or even hinted to DH yet. I'll probably wait a few days to make sure they're not just evap lines before I tell him. He has enough stress on him at work right now, I don't want to get his hopes up only to have them tumbling down if these are just evap lines!

    Forgot to say: the top one is an extra sensitive (I think it's a 10) ic, the second one is one of the ones from poundland. Had it and wanted to get rid of the box!
