Ugh, I know what you mean. I get narked by all the facebook posts that start "mummy friends". Ok, I generally don't have any answer to questions about nappies, but "mummy friends" urgh. It's as annoying as people who refer to themselves as "yummy mummies". It doesn't make you cool. It just makes you annoying!

And breathe. I think PMS is kicking in.

They're twats. Even people with kids think that people like that are twats.

Hmm... definite PMS attack here. Have just cried at a story I read about a cat that needed a blood transfusion .

Hi all,

It's a really miserable day weather wise in my neck of the woods! I was considering going to the gym tonight, but I just feel like getting my pj's on

Fannyanna - I hope that you are ok; big hugs and wishing you luck in your future endeavours.

Just a little update to my status, following my blood appt today.

Danielley TTC#1 since July 2012. Me - almost 35, OH - 34, currently under a consultant at Liverpool Womens, had initial tests (D3 & D21 bloods, external ultrasound, HSG, SA) All fine other apart from borderline abnormal creatinine level in blood so repeating test. Been prescibed 3months Clomid - 1st Cycle Oct 13. Next step: Appt with FS 18/12/13

I mentioned the spotting I have had to the nurse and she said that it was common to have a bit of bleeding around ovulation. I didn't dare confess my diagnosis that it might be implantation bleeding (I still have a little bit of hope and didn't want it dashed!)

I dropped a little clanger this morning as my sister rang me when I was on my way back from the hospital and asked why I wasn't in work and I told her I had been for a blood test. Now I have had her & my Mum texting me to ask why I need blood tests.

My OH & I had decided to keep TTC quiet, however we though it would happen straight away so I am thinking of coming clean, as it is getting difficult keeping the fibs up and dodging the 'when are you going to have babies' questions anyway...

PM - so sorry for your loss, sending you a hug. Xx

Fannyanna - sending a hug to you too x

Tea - sorry to hear of the spotting, fingers crossed though for implantation!!

Danielley - I'm on my third round of clomid now and I've not experienced the spotting at all, only a day or two before AF shows but that's normal for me anyway.

I've had to have a blood test every month I've been on it so far so maybe opening up to your family may be a good idea because I'm always in the doctors at the moment!

AFM:

I thiiiink I mayybeee have a positive OPK just now, just not sure it's definitely dark enough to be as dark as the control. Definitely drier than yesterday. It's CD14 today and I think I o'd around CD17 last month so it could be right!
Added a pic ( if it works!) what do you ladies think?

After all that yesterday, his doctors never even bothered to phone him back. His doctors are a complete waste of space. Grrrrrrr.

Knackered tonight, so having a slobby night. Went swimming this morning, and spent all afternoon trying to pack parcels that needed to go out. Got Burlex and Zumba tomorrow night so got to find my jogging bottoms out of the wash basket, and find where I dumped my trainers.
Told my mum that I was desperately trying to lose weight, luckily she didn't ask why.
