Easter bunnies and chocolate eggs! Jump aboard for the ladies hoping the Easter Bunny will bring a very special egg.

Oh Pipbin

oh pipbin so sorry you felt so low. I'm lucky in that respect as my friends are done with babies. How do people announce their pregnancy on facebook? Do they stick a scan photo up with the announcement? Your DH is completely right though and wise to say that. Your time will come, hopefully the scan will be fine and you'll get results from clomid- it was clomid next wasn't it?

squirrel a train in SE Asia, that would have been fab story, still at least you still have the experience!

well I tested today, BFN , very early as i am either 9DPO or 10 DPO or maybe even 11 DPO depending on which tool i use on FF. Going by advanced i'm only 9. Didn't expect anything else really but there's always that glimmer of maybe...I'll test again Monday.

Oh black, glad you are ok. Just shows we shouldn't delay having it done.

squirrel!!!
Sorry AF is here
Gutted you don't get to choose "Asian word for train" as a name

Hi ladies,

The Evil Aunt Flo flew in on her broomstick right on schedule this morning.

Disappointing, as I was looking forward to proudly announcing to you all that my baby was conceived on a train in Southeast Asia...

Hope everyone else is bearing up ok.

Time for some

flying that sounds rough, bad enough having it done once!

i've had cervical treatment twice, both a long time ago and 10 years apart. First time i had laser done to burn off dodgy cells, second time had LLETZ. Both treatments were nothing radical . Awful though, especially the first when i had a 'trainee' working under supervision. Had a lovely nurse holding my hand throughout the second procedure which was comforting. They take a different approach these days though as i think in the past people have had treatment unnecessarily when the cells may have reverted back to normal. Not sure what happened in my case and the ins and outs. My first one was when i was 21, next at 31.

My cycles tend to be around 29/30 days long. i may waste some sticks and test over the weekend as they are cheapies.

How long are your cycles black?

Damn, woke too late to get GP appointment
DS was up at 5:20, managed to get him back to sleep but DH (quite rightly) didn't disturb us while he went to work and I wasn't aware of anything until gone 8 when DS can into our room and started playing the iPad
Feel rubbish today (period pain).
Will ring on Tues (Mon is too busy with the weekend illness lot).

I am so glad they do the brush now, 3 years ago was the first time I've had one and not been recalled. I have endometriosis on my cervix and bleed easily when having a smear. It was such a pain having to go back several times. In the end I used to just get my gynaecologist to do it!!! They are the experts after all

But now I'll be fine with the brush. I forget I've had it until the results come in. Getting more concerned now though, my DSis had to have cells burned as did my friend. My friend was one stage of cancer so I'm not as complacent as I used to be.

Glorious sunshine here today... Shall I get the water table out?

lbot that's horrid. i'd be really upset. fx on this cycle though, sounds like you've done all you can.

flying good luck with the referral hope your GP is sympathetic and understanding.
i had my smear not long ago, glad that's done for next 3 years. Not because i find it awful, i didnt even feel this nurse when she actually took the sample, she said they use a brush these days, but said they have done for a few years, its waiting for the results that i hate. Hope everyone gets the all clear.
I'm 8DPO and at that stage of getting fed up. Will probably test Monday.

When is your HSG pipbin?

lbot that must have made you feel upset, knowing she'd effectively lied
Does she know how long you have been trying? Maybe she thought she was soaring your feelings

AF is properly here now
Kinda hit full flow about mid morning. I'm always light for a day, heavy for 2/3 then light for 2/3.
I do feel that something has changed with them though, I've always had such regular (bloody painful) ones.
I wonder if my endometriosis is causing problems?
Time to go to GP I think, get a referral back to consultant.
In fact, I'm going to strike while the iron is hot and go tomorrow. No point waiting.

In other news: got my smear next Wed... Oh the fun

Hope you're all taking your frolic acid

Hi all:

Flying how is your AF? Any more normal?

Squirrel how are you doing?

Feeling a little bit I saw this girl at the weekend who is also ttc. We had a big chat about it and I really felt as if she were the one leading the conversation asking questions and volunteering info. Well, just found out through a mutual friend that she's actually 8 weeks pg. feeling like such an idiot as we were both talking as if we were actively trying and here she is already pregnant. I understand if she didn't want to share just yet, well then don't engage me in conversation about it!

Anyway, am happy with how things look this cycle anyway. Had that confirmation of maturing follicles at my scan, have had two peak readings on cbfm, well timed shagging and really clear and big temp shift. Am now 2 dpo. Quietly hopeful but I know better!

Oh well, almost the weekend!

Hmmm AF is nothing more than spotting but I do feel tired and headachy so I'm sure she'll be in full flow soon... Why does she mess about like this?

Thanks guys, I needed a bit of a reality check! It's really doing my head in this month as I really thought we would win a baby this month after having a relaxing shagfest tropical holiday! Will let you know if/when the Evil Witch flies in! :)

Hi squirrel, it doesn't look promising, sorry. However one rogue temp can happen so don't give up hope. I'm not sure how often people get an implantation dip, its not something i look out for and i didn't get it with either of my pregnancies i recorded on FF. Its not over until you get AF though.

Hi all, want to stalk my chart? Temp has dropped right down to the coverline. Could it be too late for an implantation dip? I fear the evil AF is due for a visit tomorrow which is pretty disappointing. BFN this morning on an 'el cheapo' HPT. My current 'symptoms' are a sore throat and tiredness. Here is my chart again... :)

Just back from Zumba and had a revelation: sports tops (cooling ones) actually work
I was able to work harder because I wasn't fighting the heat and sweat!

Blimey, I'm so cynical that I thought it was just an excuse to hike the prices up

Anyway, going to check my frolic supplies..
