Hello all

Got terrible cramps but glad to be able to move in to next month. I got my concieve plus and thermometer so hopefully will indicate if and when I ov

Hello all,

How's everyone's Sunday? I don't know what the hell is going in with my body. Don't know if I have ovulated yet or anything but I have a slight AF nothing heavy no cramps and slightly pinker. I thought I'd know what was going on with my body by now but nope!!!!

Feeling v frustrated!!!!

Thanks for the link to the powder inositol Claire. I was using the tablets from H&B until I ran out but the powder seems much cheaper. I've ordered some for my next cycle.

I went to a 'detox' day this morning (mainly because I wanted a really pummelling massage because I've started doing insanity again) and ended up having my ear chewed off by a herbalist that she could reset my hormones and help with IVF... It's so bloody tempting to buy into this stuff but my inner sceptic is just screaming at me- especially when they mention my least favourite of all of the hocus pocus (homeopathy).

Still, it's like she's planted these seeds in my head that I should do everything possible. Then I remember that Tim Minchin song 'Storm' (You know what they call “alternative medicine” that's been proved to work? Medicine.”). I feel like infertility has turned me into a mad hippy clutching at straws!

I know exactly what you mean. I'm normally logical but I think I've tried every supplement relating to ttc just in case it's the magic pill or tea that'll give me that elusive BFP.

Just done an exercise dvd of callanetics. I used to do the class about 15 years ago, but it was about £15 a class back then so I hate to imagine what it would cost now so I found the dvd and did that today. Aside from giggling at the 80s fashions and makeup, I was totally in pain. Hopefully it'll get me back in my holiday clothes.

If you'd like 'insanity' you could always post me a memory stick and I could send it back to you? I've lost 4.5lbs this week doing it and eating slimming world recipes (including oreo cheesecake- om nom nom). It's a 60 day programme and it's basically a cross between Guantanamo Bay and the worlds worst bootcamp but you do different work outs each day. Plus the instructor is fit... Mmmm- Shaun T.

I have had a nice day sorting things out. Going through this last week has made me so much stronger in myself than I ever thought I could be then I see you girls have been trying for so long to even get a BFP and I feel utterly selfish. I hope you long timers graduate soon. I guess any pain no matter how it is caused is relative to the person suffering.

I am looking forward to the next part of the White Queen but hoping it does not contain yet another pregnancy or childbirth!

I have bought cheap ovulation tests from amazon - do you wait for a line as it were or a line the strength of the control line?

Thanks to Mrs T_M for the lists - hugs to those who need them. xx

Hey TACOD could I be really cheeky and ask you for a copy of Insanity, if I post you a memory stick? I would be extremely grateful, been after it for a while but can't afford to fork out for it. Happy to pay for postage etc.

Code, have you tried 30 Day Shred? It's very good indeed. It's on Youtube (level 1 is here and there are also links to level 2 and 3).

Evening all!!
Had a busy weekend so just catching up now

Angel - glad you didn't have an embarrassing moment after all!! And hugs to you and Code for today

Loveactually - glad you got an appointment - that was quite quick, so hopefully will be helpful

Love all the smoothie recipes Mrs TM

Sweaty betty - massive hugs, sorry to hear your news. You sound very positive, hope you are coping ok

Those discussing exercise - I started the 30 day shred but gave up after day 10!! I have no motivation - if anyone does start doing it and wants to buddy up and post when they have done it let me know!! It does seem good as it is only 20 mins!

Hugs for all those at CD1 x
