    Thanks all for your kind suggestions abut ovulation sticks and methods.

    Yummy pantry TM

    I still have some sticks to go and may be shift to CBFM can't do temping as I don't get up same time everyday.

    Feeling a bit rubbish today as I am turning 34 today and I thought I will start a family by this time but due to vsrious financial restraints could not and I m get worried if it is too late for me.:(

    I use the clearble OPK's with the smiley faces

    I tried temping for a month but gave up as it didnt show me anything, the chart looked like a montain range!

    PS My cousin had a baby when she was 42 (conceived naturally) so 34 is definately NOT too late! :) xx

    I don't know how the day will go. In no mood to do anything.

    May go shopping and treat myself to something nice to cheer up.

    That looks like one yummy store cupboard! I got all set to make some Jam this year out of my strawberries (well I got a thermometer), then they didn't produce the glut I was hoping for... :( I don't suppose you've got a courgette jam recipe have you? :P

    I don't even use a thermometer. :o No courgette jam recipe, but they don't stick around here long enough for me to need one! Lots of times I'll dice one and stir fry it with mushrooms then sprinkle creole seasoning over them, or slice them thin and use them in lasagne instead of pasta, or slice them like spaghetti and use them that way! Also, once they're shredded, they can be stuck into lots of things, especially pasta sauce. Zucchini/courgette bread is awesome by the way. I don't have a particular recipe that I use, but if you need help converting one from US measurements to UK measurements, let me know. :)

    Had a dream last night where I kept trying to rip the fat off my tummy, butt and thighs. :( Guess this being 'morbidly obese' thing is getting to me more than I thought.

    Thanks for doing the lists Mrs_T_M.

    I went to the doctors yesterday to try and get something to induce AF so that I can arrange my HSG and then get a nice holiday booked.

    No such luck. The GP said I really need to speak to the fertility consultant again and asked when my next appointment was. I explained that I had to arrange another appointment once my HSG had been done but I obviously couldn't have it because of the lack of AF. :wall:

    She's suggested I increase my Metformin dosage to see if that works. I'm not so sure it will. The only effect is ever seems to have with me is to make me feel sick :(.
  • Happy Birthday Love:beer:

    How is everyone? First month of trying and I'm already impatient to test/wait for AF even though I'm only 3 days past OV! How do you lot keep sane?


    Sorry Mrstm for CD2. Your pantry looks amazing so tidy too.

    Just wondering if anyone is taking folic acid while TTC?

    Hi everyone,

    Well quiet few days for me in the chocolate and wine zone and think I'm going to start with OPKs tomorrow.

    Code - LOL at Joffrey!!!! I LOVE GoTs a lot on TV, must get round to the books.

    Mrs TM your storecupboard is fabulous! Sorry you've having a rough time though, thanks for doing the lists as always.

    Pickle - I've seen a receipe for courgette cake (bit like carrot cake!) previously if Mrs TM's suggestions were to healthy???!

    Loveactually - welcome and happy birthday. I posted a couple of pages back about my friend who is 36, has PCOS and other health issues and has just got pg on pretty much her first try - it is definitely NOT too late for you

    Hugs to everyone else needing one.
