    BZ - much less jealous than normal. I love it when the long termers get BFPs. It gives me hope.

    How did you tell your OH?
    Full story [url= https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/61049135[/url] for those who want to read a short essay (blame kitten pie ;)) :p:o

    But essentially no I didn't do anything different but beg and plead with God :rotfl: (and let's face it that's not exactly "different"! :p but 3 close friends are pregnant right now and another has a newborn -my best friend is 2 weeks ahead of me with her bfp!).

    Thanks ladies! It doesn't seem real! :shocked: It's taken 2.5 yrs, surgery, 5 hideous cycles on clomid, ditching clomid & losing 6st to get here... Sheesh! :eek:

    I said to dh I feel like we can't possibly be this lucky and he said "lucky? We've EARNT this!" :rotfl:
