Not that we're living up to the childless stereotype by filling the thread with dogs and cats... :rotfl:

Just so we're not entirely living up to stereotype...

I love the Team Wonderbra idea!
I nearly joined the POS team for today. Didn't and am now glad I resisted because of course, af joined me suddenly and awkwardly as I walked down the street.
IF SUCKS.
I'm off to drink a large glass of wine. And avoid contact with people that annoy me (i.e. everyone!)
Next stop.... infertility specialist appointment, presumably for an ivf referral.

Code, that T-Rex post is going to keep me laughing all week!

FP - thank you for the advice, much appreciated. Will begin operation vitamin forcefeed immediately :-) Thanks for updating me on the list too.

For the record I am Team Cat also... but do love Team Wonderbra!

A TMI story of things I should have known before now... Lots of euphemisms so I don't set off your work internet-monitoring language filters.

The clinic said no marital shenanigans during the 2WW. For some reason I'm, well, wanting to. Ever creative, I googled whether that only meant no 'insertion'. But no. Apparently the contractions of the happy moment can make the uterus expel the embie. :eek:

Obviously won't be getting happy. But then I read that some people say you shouldn't do that until you hear the heartbeat at the 7 or 12 week scans!?!? No wine AND none of that? I practically had a panic attack. :rotfl:

The things we put ourselves through eh PTP?!? My clinic said nothing from EC till 12wks!

Nothing like being told you can't do something to make it all you can think about.

Mine had only told me about the 2WW!

3 months?! Seriously? Blimey, the women really do have it worse, don't we?

My OH hasn't touched me since we started treatment.. I've tried but he shies away, I think he thinks I'll break, or bite his head off praying mantis style.
