I have to wait 11 days for test now. Managed to bd last night so hope it was in time.

Congratulations Sunshine

Fingers crossed for all in the 2ww.

Sorry to hear that Lulu - the 4ww to try again is just the worse

Sorry to hear that lulu - enjoy the prosecco and have a lovely weekend.

Day 40 off the pill and no AF. Started taking AC on Tuesday. OH is sceptical and calls it snake oil. Ah well, worth a shot! If nothing after 2 months I'll go see the Dr.

Probably just as well anyway, work is horrendous - 11 hour days and 3 hours of commuting a day. Blurgh. No energy to BD!

No BDing for us last night :-( sadly, I appear to be having an allergic reaction, of a delicate nature.... (I've got a horrid feeling it's to some massage oil) - tried to ignore it, and failed :-(
My BFF is coming to stay tonight, which is awesome, but will also mean no BDing again... -.- I'm not holding out much hope for this month.

I'm not surprised he does TBH. I'm a huge skeptic of herbal what-nots, potions and tonics. The last time I went into Holland & Barratt was about 10 years ago to buy some chocolate raisins!

I took it purely because I knew my Doctor's wouldn't have an appointment for a month, so figured it was worth a shot, and if something you can pick up from a high street shop can help then why not. Plus of course when I looked online, an awful lot of women swore by it.

Are you taking conception supplements too? I heard that folic acid can also help.

Sorry to hear this dotty. I once had a terrible reaction to the durex gels, the heat ones. Instead of being 'enhancing' it felt like my bits had been doused in petrol and set alight. I was sat in a cold bath for hours.

Hope you can dtd soon :T

I'm definitely not one for going down the herbal route but also read up on it and had much the same thought as you! Will report back! Yep been taking folic acid for a few months now (even before I came off the pill 'just in case')

OMG Dotty I hope you're okay!! I had a reaction to the tingle one, I've never experienced such pain there!

WellI got ewcm last night and I'm pretty dry this morning. Went to my faithful Google and lots of women say they get ewcm then ovulate a few days later so not all hope is lost!

I WILL WILL WILL update the front list tonight! Sorry ladies!

OUCH! I have a latex allergy, which I found out the hard way :-( which has never been fun, but I'm hoping this will pass soon!

I am also obsessed with some Deep Heat bubble bath (it's amazing) but OH is terrified of it, because he claims that because it's deep heat, it will burn his tender parts... despite the fact that it's designed as a bubble bath, and they've CLEARLY thought about that! LMAO
