Becca - I remember when you were getting married. Is it really almost a year already?

Yes! I thought some of you might remember as I joined the thread wayyyy before the wedding! Or so it seems!!

That's a bit carp about your ov. Did you definitely ov today?

I actually have no idea. I'm going by cm but that's failed me so much this month. I'm going to say yes but secretly hope it at least happened yesterday or Saturday.

Do you have anything exciting planned for your anniversary Becca?

Not much to report here, still haven't had a positive OV test so guess I just have to keep testing. Have had to order some more as I've never used this many in a month before! My cycles the last 4 months have been so regular as well, the only thing I can think of is I had a sickness bug a couple of weeks ago so maybe thats affected this months cycle :huh:


Found out today a work colleague is pregnant, queue all of the comments about it being about time I started trying and why dont I want a family. I held it together until I got to the toilets then had a little cry, I felt like screaming at them all!

Just had a look and it REALLY irritated me. I mean I'm 29 and started ttc at 27 which is relatively average I guess but it seems to be really patronising. I find the campaign marketing weird to be honest - why is she using a photo of herself made to look older than she actually is - I mean she looks about 60 in it and women who are 60 aren't having babies...

And I agree with the quote that that other lady has written about it often coming down to men. Its often that they are the ones who don't want to settle down and have kids, not women!

Oh and perhaps if all these MEN in power, would like to reduce a standard 2 or 3 bed semi from the ridiculous prices we have to pay, we might be able to afford to have a couple of kids at a younger age!! I mean if you started to pop kids out at 20 or something where on earth are you going to house them? Most people I know in their mid 20s were living in house shares costing hundreds a month.

Ugh.

Atton - Im sure you asked a similar thing a month or two ago though, so perhaps it is normal for you. Periods aren't always the same every month.

Becca - that's worrying there was no peak!

ttc39 I hope your face de-swells soon! My lips once did that after eating an apple I wondered if it was pesticide or something as I never bother to wash anything.

Chocoholic chic - People are so rude. I honestly cant believe people don't think before they speak sometimes about stuff like that.

Code - maybe you could bribe your OH with something? Like promise to buy him his favourite food or something if he bds tonight??

Next door to us there is a couple in their late 40s/early 50s I would guess. They have a son who a few years ago had a massive house party and caused a few issues for us and damaged his own house too Anyway at the time he was a spotty teenager and I gave him a telling off and he was suitable embarrassed. Now he appears to have a child who looks about 2 and I can hear them playing in the garden a lot recently. DH told me a while ago Im sure that guy has had a kid, and I was like don't be silly hes a kid himself, but I swear I heard the toddler call him Dad today. God he must have been born in the 90s or something!!

Spent a lot of time researching holidays today. We want to go away for a week in August, well I do anyway. Dh will be dragged lol. He likes holidays but is very lazy so I will be doing all the arranging. Need some sunshine and a tan!

Becca I already think she's a proper twonk, since she smoked during pregnancy so she can nob off. Patronising cow.

I did like the big at the bottom showing older celebrity mums, as if to say 'not really a problem or anyone's business' x

claire I got a peak on my second cycle of using the CBFM but then nothing on my 3rd? Weird. And I know I oved as I was on clomid by that point.

PCOS and clomid can both make the CBFM work strangely or not at all, depending on your hormone levels. Just to warn you, as I know most people here do other monitoring too!

becca0417

Yeah I know that. I only had the cbfm on a trial. I have scans for my monitoring so don't rely on anything too heavily
