    CD1 for me today. Pretty pleased about that for a change as knew we were out this month as I was working away during OV week.

    Pretty nervous as I have a job interview this morning....its been a very very long time since my last one! Really not sure if getting a new job is a good idea in the context of TTC but decided that I can't keep managing my life around TTC and I can worry about whether its a good idea if I am lucky enough to be offered it! Fingers crossed!

    I've also been motivated to try some exercise by you ladies. Tia - yesterday I did day 2 of the 30 day shred. I love jillian michaels and although I hurt like hell and felt like vomiting the whole way through the first two days, I'm actually looking forward to day 3 this evening. It's good to feel like I'm taking action. I took "before" photos so hopefully I can see some tangible results at the end of the 30 days. TACOD - not sure i could handle insanity like you ladies!! Super impressed by you!

    MrsTM - I continue to be in awe of your general domestic godliness! Thanks for doing the lists xx

    Firey :wave: hi! So sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Hope your stay here is short and sweet. I use a good app - Period Tracker. The symbol is a pink flower. I have it on my ipad and my phone and I can sync and share the data. There is a free version but I paid for the premium version as it customises to your cycle and you can input positive opk days and it tells you future period dates (useful for planning holidays before we were TTC). It also tells you your fertile days so you know when to start opk testing from. I love it.

    Angel - big hugs for you. xxx

    Katy - fingers crossed that your TLP turns into a nice BFP! X

    Samtoby - hope you are feeling ok. I think you are amazingly strong for even going into work so its not surprising that dealing with a pregnant customer was upsetting for you xxx

    Elsie - great news that you are progressing with tests and fingers crossed that you get good news from them. I'm impressed that your not using OPKs! I do think it would help me not to stress too much if I didn't use them and just focused on BDing lots but I just can't do it. Have tried a few times but ended up using OPKs anyway! :o

    Lolly - the 2ww sucks big time. Goes SOOOOOO slow!! X

    Anyway, best go get ready for my interview! :eek:

    Best of luck catloverbex, fingers, legs and eyes crossed! your right, we can't put our lives on hold.

    I had a ridiculous teary moment yesterday, I got a baby Boden catalog delivered for the lady who used to live here and stupidly read the cute outfits at the back.. Started thinking that I should have someone to wear them by now.. Hey ho..

    Still a tlp. Anyone recommend another pregnancy test? I'm using ic.
  • Well I decided to test this morning, BFN, why I expected anything else I don't know, just feels like it's never going to happen for us and I'm completely sick of it all. I really feel like just giving up :(

    sorry too hear that Chocholic Chick - lets go with next cycle is the one....

    Thanks Code - for OPK advice - so I think I am 1DPO... Not sure I will manage to get DH to BD tonight as he is on his last legs and moaning about being too old for this as of this morning! But we can try.....We BD Sat (Was that too early)? Monday and Tuesday...
    Katy29 - Id go out and buy a more expensive test..... Saying that I rarely go more expensive than the supermarket own ones!!
