    So sorry to hear your news Lottie, take care x

    Still awaiting OV here, and not started SMEP properly this month - was due to start over the weekend when we were away (and childfree! :j), but we both came down with rotten colds and spent most of the weekend drinking lemsip and feeling sorry for ourselves! CD12 today, so will have to start tonight, I normally OV CD16-17 anyway. Ordered some more OV sticks last week and they were delivered to work, but stores have lost them! So annoying! Don't really want to tell them what was in the package :rotfl:

    Sorry to hear your news Lottie, we are all thinking of you.


    Nothing to report here as CD5.

    I stupidly googled fertility and endometriosis and have scared myself half to death :(

    The only positive thing I could see is that all the the statistics disagree so maybe aren't reliable?


    How do I enforce a 'no googling' ban on myself? Any ideas welcome :o

    Chickp, not googling is hard. It's easy to symptom spot, or google symptoms or conditions, and completely terrify yourself.

    I think the best thing to do is just remind yourself that every woman is different, be it pregnancy symptoms, pcos or endometriosis.

    I was googling everything all the time last month. I haven't touched it this month and feel a lot more relaxed.

    On another topic, we made a pretty good go of it this month, but honestly I don't think it's going to be our month. I figure best not to symptom spot and think in the negative and then maybe have a nice surprise, rather than convince myself in my head and be disappointed.

    I really hope we get some more BFPs soon as this thread is so quiet at the moment, and seems to be nothing but bad news.

    so sorry to hear your news lottie.

    As for me, we are out this month :( I'm going to say I'm 2DPO considering I've been feeling like raving nympho this weekend (seriously, I'm like an animal) but unfortunately the OH's gran is very ill and we are likely to lose her this week so he's not been in the mood (understandably) so we haven't DTD. Better luck next month.

    ChickP. I also scared myself senseless as I googled conceiving with an underactive thyroid. I banned myself and decided I'd try for 6 months and then go to the GP about it.

    We're about to start alternate dtd days, will be a miracle if we achieve it as I'm lucky if oh is up for it more than a couple of times a month. At least we'll have given it a good shot though if we can get even part way to the plan. Heaven knows how I conceived our daughter as we only DTD once.

    Its so easy to spend lots of time googling, then find more things to google about and spend so much time worrying. I'm sure I create problems doing this :)


    Currently CD24, AF due Friday but spotting started, so not hopeful this month. Haven't been trying as hard this month, more NTNP, as unsure re December baby. Also December is my sisters birthday, and she's already made it clear to me that December is "her month"!
