Thanks for doing the list Mrs TM. I love smoothies. Is that all you get all day?

Warning: I've had twice my normal amount of caffeine today, so sorry if I'm a bit more talkative than normal!

You're very welcome. I've started having a smoothie with my morning coffee for breakfast instead of skipping it or having something like a pastry. Sometimes I'll have a smoothie for an afternoon snack as well after lunch. I'm still eating 'real' food for lunch and dinner. I just wanted to try new flavours of smoothies for the most part. If I lose weight while doing so, fine, if not, fine.

So far, we've had lemon poppyseed muffin smoothies, cinnamon bun smoothies, and the coffee smoothie today. Can you tell that DH has been picking them out? :rotfl:

Tomorrow's will have cherries, pineapple, and coconut water though.

I'm sitting here grating castile soap to rebatch into stuff we will use. I'm wanting to learn how to make soap (did so a long time ago with my dad, but it never clicked) so I'm trying to ease into it. Right now: grate soap, add herbs/spices/flowers/etc, add a bit of water, squish into silicone muffin tin. Later on: actually make soap from fats, oils, and lye!

I'm hoping to start making my own soaps, shampoo, conditioner, lip balm, deodorant, and body butters later. That will come with time though. I discovered last night that I'm allergic to lavender baby oil (I'm fine with straight lavender essential oil though) and that coconut oil slathered on my legs works wonders for calming down allergic rashes and for moisturising!

Hi everyone, haven't read back yet so sorry for any news I've missed.

Can I be updated to cd5 please?

AT was bang on time this month, so hopefully my stupidly long cycle time before was just a missed cycle.

Hugs to anyone who wants one Xx

Hi everyone, don't think I've missed any BFP's but apologies if I have.

I think I am going to say I am 4DPO today (can you amend the list please xxx) I didn't get a +OPK but did have mega amounts of ewcm during the week so thats my guess.

I am just waiting for my doctor to call me to confirm I can up my clomid dose to 100mg from the next cycle. I dont want to do it without her approval.

I had a bit of a funny turn this morning. Was just sitting eating my breakfast with DP when I suddenly felt sick and then burnt up to the point my arms went red and i was all clammy. It passed after a short while but was most odd. I will mention it to Dr later. May be a side effect.

Hope you are all ok x

How annoying for timing angel, hope the results are ok

Code - I hate moths, that would really have freaked me out! lol at your DH hiding!

Kalama - well done for uni results! I only take folic acid in the mornings and had no sick feelings from that

sophiasmum - hopefully your DH will have recovered in time for positive opk

Mrs TM - I bet you have some amazing smoothie recipes ready to try! Edit - have read on, yes you do have some amazing recipes you have already made! And now making soaps and shampoos!! Where do you learn to do all your amazing household stuff?!!?

Tink - hugs for CD1

Clarebear - my cycles are all over the place , doctor wasn't that interested as only stopped pill in Dec, so unless you have a sympathetic doctor or has been going on long term they don't seem that bothered - very frustrating! Hope yours settle down soon

Hugs for those who have tested and got BFN

Nothing to report here, have not left the house in the last couple of days...what do people do with their days at home? Going to go to the supermarket just for something to do today!

Pinterest and the amazing wonderful people who write blogs and tutorials for these types of things.

ETA: Started playing with (separating buds from stems) the lavender I cut last week and wow, my sinuses are hating me! The flowers are super duper strong smelling and it's a bit too much at the moment. Taking a break from them for the moment.

The coffee soap I've 'made' looks like a mud cake! :rotfl:

Please can I be updated to 3dpo. Not in with a chance this month as haven't
bd for a while and we were camping over the weekend. But actually I'm OK with it. I'm only 31 and think I have freaked out about having a baby. Not 100% sure I'm ready.

Hugs for cd1 and anyone who needs them .
Congratulations to faiths and any other bfp. I hope you have an easy, healthy and happy 9 months.

On my phone so can't type properly.

Hi I will be making a return if that's ok with everyone?

I went to my 12 week scan yesterday but sadly baby died at 9w+3. I have had no sign so it was a massive shock. Seems strange after an operation tomorrow I will be back waiting for CD1.

I am hoping that whilst I await CD1 and generally recover that someone might be able to let me know what vitamins they are taking trying to conceive? I figure if I start taking them asap I can start preparing my body even if I am not quite ready if that makes sense.

If it is at all possible can someone (Becca was on the less than 12 weeks so I assume she is no longer doing the lists) remove me from the lists that shows my BFP - I know it was my BFP but I don't want the reminder.

Never the less I am glad to see many have graduated in the last 3 months and wish all the long timers all the luck in the world.

Massive hugs Samtoby xx Make sure you look after yourself

The only thing I am taking is folic acid
