Hope it goes OK today Becca, how are the fingers?

Sore! Slept with Burns plasters on them but there's a huge imprint of what I picked up across them!

Awww, I hope it was something with an amusing silhouette then!

Becca have you put any burn cream or anything on them? If they're across your joints you should really go and let the nurse have a look at them, the last thing you want is them getting infected.

AFM... MEH again. i got a peak on the CBFM this morning which would be great except I thought I ovlulated two days ago. My temperatures are far higher than they normally would be pre-O. Not sure what to do about 21 day bloods now, do I go by the CBFM or by FF?

Hugs for CD1 TTC39, doesn't sound like you're having a good morning! Hope it's all up from here.

I don't understand why this whole fertility campaign thingy has even used Kate Garraway. She's full of contradictions! She had children when she was in the 'older' age bracket yet she's telling everyone else to have them in their 20s and in searching for the follow up you were talking about I saw an article saying that she wants another baby and that she doesn't think there's anything wrong with having babies in your 40s! Make up your mind woman... and admit that you're doing it for the money and coverage rather than the actual message that this campaign is trying to get across to people! I think it's a load of hooey anyway and will just make single women in their late 20s onwards feel even more pressure to find a man, any man, and have babies with him before it's too late.

Hope your appointment goes well Becca and the burnt fingers heal quickly! Remember if the burn area is bigger than a 50p you should have it checked out.

See if your temperature spikes between tomorrow and Sunday then you'll know your CBFM was correct in warning you of ov this weekend. Otherwise is there any chance of having 2 blood tests to cover the 2 possible 7dpo dates?

I read a really good article about this fertility thing which focused on the part that men play in all this. Rather than castigate 'career women' for wanting to 'have it all' and leaving it too late out of selfishness, let's look at the role that men play in female fertility. Many women spend their 20s and 30s with a partner who drags his heels about babies. If you don't want kids, that's fine but be up front about it. Don't leave some poor woman dangling wondering when you'll decide it's the right time all the while her fertile years are trickling away.

It got me thinking. Women can't win, can they? If they don't raise the conversation about having kids, they'll leave it too late. If they do, they're demanding and pushy.

That's the problem, I thought it had already spiked! But I've had a funny month with interrupted sleep, cystitis and sleeping in hot rooms which can all send your temperature up so I really just don't know.

I doubt very much they'll let me have two blood tests, I'll probably have to go back next cycle and do the whole thing again.
