We are all jolly well going to smack the rat this month and grow a baby and we'll brook no argument. And probably eat some cake too.

Sweetie lovely photos - I like your dress too! You are a newlywed! (did we know this?)

Sweetie gorgeous photos, lovely wedding dress

And Generic lovely photo too, DD gorgeous!

Wowza Solars you are soooo pretty!!

I wrote a post earlier but it has disappeared. It was along the lines of what pie was in Imps; photos, and how lovely it is to put faces to names, and poor Generic for having to play with bacteria, and good about Popcorn's lack of CM. But it was far more eloquent than my above ramble

Oh, and how I meant to wave to Far, not Imps and so decided to wave to everyone to cover it up.

The nightmare puppy has just fallen asleep for the first time today. Feet up, knitting and tea me thinks.

OK, I've put a photo up!

Solars you are gorgeous and I cannot believe you are 39!!

Popcorn I am glad that egg has finally been laid. It's bound to be an egg-stra good one since it took so long popping out (ho ho!).

I think I have finally managed to get my profile on!!!

sorry the too was meant to be too

You are too kind Imps, by the way was it you who mentioned adoption? DH and I have often talked about adopting whether we have our own or not and now that we are permanently rooted I think it may be something we will look into more seriously now.

Scrambled I usually get bad dreams in my 2ww.

Stasi & Scrambled I'm so sorry that nasty lady witch af has got you! And what a lovely OH you have Scrambled

Generic I have everything crossed for you for next wednesday and I really hope you can get those niggling worries out of your head x

Farfalla have a super fab holiday, can't wait for you to be back and confirm your bfp! Clomid is going ok, the only side effects I think i'm getting are hot flashes at night, i'm 50mg at the moment but consultant has said that if still no bfp by the 2nd month then to go up to 100mg But of course i'll have my bfp this month!

I'm loving all the photos and nobody is at all how i'd imagined them to be. Mine are up for one day only!

Sorry, meant far! Ruddy AF brain. Had a bad night, full of nightmares. Does anyone else get bad dreams with AF, or is it just lil' ol' weirdo me?

So, Popcorn, we just have to wait a couple of weeks for your BFP now, right? :)

...and my CM has dried up, for those that were horrified by it interested :o

Boo hiss at AF stasi I was sure you were going to surprise us with a honeymoon baby

And another big boo hiss for your AF smegs

Have a lovely holiday far hope to see you looking all tanned and pregnant when you come back

Waves to everyone else cos I've forgotten what I'd read

Now does anyone happen to have a wet fish they can slap me with? I'm only about 5dpo but I've been feeling a bit AF crampy all morning - now clearly its far too early for such symptons so I need to stop thinking imagining that its implantation cramps or something.

Far have a good holiday and shagathon. Look forward to your BFP on your return.

Have a lovely time! Forget all about ttc, and enjoy having some downtime together :)

Stasi, I'm really sorry AF turned up - brooking super hard that this will be your month!

Smegs I think private tests are a wonderful idea, even if the only thing it results in is peace of mind :)

Raspberry so sorry you're still ill! Rest up, take it as easy as you can - the weekend's here so plenty of time before you've to worry about going back now.

Loving all the photos! Imps you look mega way younger than I thought you were! What's your secret? :o

DH went out with some friends last night. All evening I was getting increasingly drunken texts saying how wonderful I am, and how great we are together, as apparently his friends are all going through very messy divorces and were getting dodgy text messages from their exes all night :o

Temp's up today, as it should be post-ov. Back to nearly-positive-but-not OPKs last night, so hopefully all is working as it should........ I am curious to see if I still get AF Tuesday or if my usual (13 day) luteal phase stays the same and it's pushed back to the following week...

Farfalla have a lovely time making babies!

Maybe you have my sympathies re your experiement. A l-o-o-o-o-ng time ago I was a lab scientist and had to work long days doing growth curves on bacterial cultures. Your boss sounds an absolute arse.

Scrambled I'm glad your DH has agreed to some tests. Hopefully everything will be hunky dory, but it's good to check. I had a retained placenta too. At the time they said it was placenta accreta, but drs have since said perhaps it wasn't and I'm inclined to agree having read more about it. Anyway, I too have worried that the repeated surgeries I have had (manual removal of placenta and two ERPCs) may have caused some damage. According to the my latest ultrasound all is fine, but one does worry.

Raspberry get well soon.

Sorry to hear about AF Scrambled hope you indulge in copious amounts of vino over the weekend. Your photos are too cute

Raspberry sorry you are still feeling so rough. It's a nasty time of year for bugs. Hope you are relaxing with your feet up today

Have a lovely time!

sorry to hear AF got you stasi it's so infuriating when it just appears when you wake up :( I love your wedding look by the way - completely gorgeous!

sweetie I can't seem to get to your pics? Crying at fat bottomed girl is perfectly rational, I love that song!

real listen to irrational you, it's much more fun. Positive thinking and all that :)

Imps your rabbits are the cutest! Sorry the redundancy didnt work out. hope you get something new soon so you can tell them where to stick their job

< waves > at everyone else. I did go into work yesterday but to be honest really wish I hadn't, Ive had to have today off again because I feel blooming rough as a dogs backside or whatever the dodgy saying is. A full week now of feeling poorly. On the plus side after my appointment with the nutritionist last night I am now very enthusiastic about getting healthy and am convince that it is going to get me pg so will be booking some shopping online today, lots of healthy things :)

Um. Having a crappy day. AF turned up properly last night. Can't believe I had a 20 day cycle, that's the shortest ever. Also means I only had an 8 day luteal phase, after making it to 10 last month. DH wants us to go for tests privately now, he's very lovely and I think we'll do it. Think the fact that I told him I thought I was 'broken' last night had something to do with his decision .

I do have a niggling worry that I'd like answered anyway - I had a retained placenta with DD, I ended up in surgery with them checking everything was out . Just a bit concerned that my insides are now permanently damaged, although I was told it wasn't invasive at all at the time.

I'm off for the weekend to IL's now. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Stasi, sorry she got you too. Dr Smegs prescribes buckets of wine and chocolate.

PS Sorry took profile down last night. I'll put it up again for a few hours before I leave. I am neurotic about internet privacy though so it'll be down again by 1pm, sorry!

Oh Stasi you poor thing. Hope you have a lovely evening with your new DH an that he spoils you. Your wedding photos are beautiful. So sorry to hear about your cancer, but such good news that you are nice and healthy now. That BFP will be along in no time

Popcorn lovely pic too, and you too Bean, what a cutie

Imps so sorry about your work hassles, no fun at all.

I am on the edge of my seat for Wednesday Generic

Cupcake your doggie is gorgeous. Mine has turned into devil puppy this week. Will not stop barking and biting, and has made me cry

In other news, mt experiment yetserday buggered up, so a 3am start was wasted, and will need to do it again.

And another classic comment from my incredibly un-pc boss: 'ovulating women are nutters. Most of the month they don't come near you, then when they ovulate you can't get them off you'.
