No eggs here either, but my lovely nieces shared their malteser eggs with me earlier as I went up there for dinner and I had one sat either side of me feeding me chocolate.
Good luck for testing you lovely ladies, you can do it and PM if you don't start injecting this week I will come and shout at your FS til you do!

Off to the German house on Friday morning til Tuesday, we are going to Europa park sat/sun (hotel on site) so 2 days in the park and luxury hotel. I turn 36 on Monday so what better way to celebrate than 2 days at a theme park right?!

Good morning ladies,

I had a lovely Easter, mostly, I had an extra thick Hotel choc egg that had cocktail truffles in.. shared it with OH though I took my niece and nephew to the zoo, and did start to think "Hey, do I REALLY want this, I could spend this 5k on a lovely holiday instead of IVF".. They are a nightmare! spoke to a friend about it and thinks nephew may have Oppositional Defiant Disorder. He never looks you in the eye or wants to do anything you want him to do, and sometimes is down right bad! My sister asked if we wanted to come back to hers after and I was like NO!

Welcome to the 36 club Lisa!

Lisa, enjoy your hols, sounds v lovely.

PM, good luck with your appt this week.

Tea I've got everything crossed for a good outcome for you.

Tea, if it helps I've never felt AF like in any of my many cycles (almost all BFN) but know of many people through IVF forums/support groups that were convinced she was on her way cos they had pre AF symptoms and went on to BFPs. Means nothing so keep that chin up and try try to plod along, OTD isn't that far, it's in grasping distance now!

Eeep! CD8 and I'm still bleeding. My cycle is regular as clockwork (24 days) and AF has always lasted 4-5 days. It almost stopped over the weekend but seems to have started up again. This has never happened before.

Not on any medications at all at the moment. Bit freaked out. I've only got very light bleeding but it's not normal for me.

I do have a fibroid - only found out about 18 months ago at my first internal ultrasound and had never had symptoms. I know they can start to affect your AF.

Think I should go to the GP in a couple of days if it hasn't stopped?

Having hardly ever been to the GP before, I feel like I've lived there the last few months. I went in Jan about some swollen lymph nodes that had been up for a while even though I hadn't been ill. Referred for that and tests done but they were nothing. Went again recently about my lumpy boob, referred and that turned out to be nothing. Don't want them thinking I'm a total hypochondriac!

Because my cycle is short, we normally start TTC around day 10 each month. Assume there's no point if AF hasn't finished though.

Will catch up with everyone properly tonight am loo typing again :rotfl:

Marvellous. Have just spoken to the DVLA about my missing driving licence. They sent me the forms to renew the photocard part a couple of months ago, I sent them back over 6 weeks ago. The forms were sent to my new address and I also wrote this address on the form.

Have finally managed to speak to them (took ages to even find a phone number, they really don't want people contacting them) and they've sent the new licence to my old address. Even though they sent the renewal forms to my current address.

They couldn't even tell me what they were going to do about it, just said someone would call me later.
