What do we want? Positive pee sticks. When do we want them? NOW (and we are Brooking No Argument)

Bartlet it is so tough, especially with all you have dealt with. We are here for both your lows and your highs.

There are pictures of the socks as someone was asking to see which socks I was making at the time (plus I do really, really love socks)

Good on you for getting into running again. Yes, I feel a rat smacking team for the marathon coming on

Sorry I've not been writing much. I do keep reading, but am also trying to not obsess about the whole TTC thing either. I do go up and down - part of me just wants to throw in the towel now and be happy with what I have been given, then part of me hurt every time I see yet another pregnancy announcement on FB. Why, why, why do people put their scan photos up??? Anyway, back to normal programming...

Scarlett, that's great. I don't know anything about IVF but I imagine that you don't start treatment straightaway anyway, so still plenty of time to enjoy SFF and to get that ironic BFP.

Maybe, I am so grateful to your cousin for her advice to you. I've admired your puppy, but was more interested in why there are pictures of your socks?

cakes, great news from you too. Can't believe how quickly time has gone!

Best, welcome! You can't be far from us, where it is also cold and wet. But I did force myself out this morning to go Week 6 Run 1 of the Couch to 5K. It is nice to be back to running but I am always surprised how lack of exercise through hyperemesis and PGP really deconditions me and how it is like starting from scratch after both DS and DD. Perhaps I should join Maybe in applying for the marathon to guarantee my own ironic BFP?

clicking, took me ages to work out who you were, but sorted now! :)

Hello everyone else. Sorry if I've not said hello but housework calls. Yippee.

Wow Scarlett that is so quick. I am keeping everything crossed for you on Monday. Please drop by and let us know how it goes. Sending lots of love x

obviously.
Will be a ban on once the treatment starts I guess

Hi all, just nipped in to see how you all are [tea] you talk far too much to namecheck but am trying to keep up to date with everything and brooking for you all quietly in the background

So much for my 2-3 months of stress free nonchalont SFF, just got my appt for IVF clinic, it's on Monday - just when you want the NHS waiting lists to do their job and take for ever, it takes no time at all!

Anyway am continuing with not thinking about it too much so won't stay long, just thought I'd update you, nice to see some new faces and glad to see all the sticky beans still sticking

as you were ladies! xx

Wow Cakes that has flown by! Glad the ms has kept at bay.

Thanks Fluff, I know, the timne has literally flown by!

All well here 16+4 no ms just tired.

He's such a cutie maybe - I can't believe he's 7 months already! :)

Ah, the life of a pup Click But where is she in her cycle, any +ve OPKs?

Purple It's rediculous really isn't it. I am going to calm down and shag for Britain, as recommended to me

Thanks Cakes how are you?

Maybe love the dignified pup snooze. Peggy saw her BF again today and is now sleeping it off!!

maybe in reference to your random temp taking conclusions - I convinced myself, based on a couple of freak temps, that I ov-ed on CD 5. Much sulking and Dr googling, and more sulking delayed the start of shag week. Because I was not going to shag with ov behind me and anyway was too busy sulking...

Ahh cute :)

Thanks Fluff.

New pup picture on my profile. Had to do it at work instead. He has taken to sleeping like a human would in the car

maybe I'm on your behalf. That sort of comment makes me go "grrrrr" inside

Don't worry about your temp, it means nothing as you well know! :)

I only used OPKs for one month during time we were ttc. I think I did it to prove to myself that my body was working more than anything else. I found EWCM the way to time swi the better way to figure out when af was due. My body never settled down after coming off pill so this was only way I could have half an idea. I could never have told my dh 'tonight we must swi' or words to that effect cause I think we would have stopped having sechs totally or there would have been a lot of fails.

Hope everyone is feeling ok, today is another day,,

Is the kettle still not working Whims?

Geek you poor thing. It is so hard isn't it. Your poor DH too. It's hard not to put pressure on them sometimes, bad though that sounds.

Best I am a tad achey. Legs aren't too bad, but my arms are very heavy, and I feel this will just get worse throughout the day

So, I am meant to be taking the laid back approach this month, i.e. no temping and just swi every other day. But I thought I would take my temp this morning, and it was really low, lower than it ever has been. So I have henceforth decided that I am not not ovulating anymore, which is doing wonders for the 'stress-free' method

Oh, and I forgot to add yesterday, when I found out my cousin was pregnant last week, bearing in mind she knows some of the troubles we have been having, told me to 'relax and have lots of sex'. Well blow me, that must be where I am going wrong

Sorry for yet another me me me

Hello to spectra and best it's nice to have some new blood on here!!

geek I am sorry you sounded so down yesterday, it's really very difficult indeed and the DH's really feel the pressure. Are you having any investigations?

purple just have sex every day

I can't believe there was a dragon on here and I missed it, grrrrrrrr

Have you had any investigations Geek? I'm sure you've said but my brain is mush atm

Hooray for the Sweeties

Maybe how are the legs after all that?

Geek, I think going through all of that and still having a sense of humour about it definitely makes you a star!

Dragon that's how I did it prior to DD. In the extraordinarily unlikely case that I'm not already pregnant I'll go back to that. I'm having a month or so of pretending to being all que sera sera and chilled about it, then it's back to science and charts.

Sparkle pretty sure I'm also 3dpo, but luteal phase is usually 14 days here.

Hope everyone has a good day and better weather than here on the Fens. Glad I got the peas and beans in the ground yesterday.

Gosh I feel really rude but I saw Geeks post which sounded so sad I had to respond to her.

Big warm welcome to Spectra and Purple

Sorry about BFNs and also AF Pip & Little, sets loose the dragon on AF (has it gone already?)

So pleased to hear all went well for the Sweeties do you get the result soon?

Looking forward to those pics of pooch Maybe I have an iPad and I luff it!
